"Even at the end, Hal always had a song in his head," Eunice David said. "He was always writing notes, or asking me to take a note down, so he wouldn't forget a lyric."

David was most famous for his collaborations with Burt Bacharach, including the Oscar-winning song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," as well as songs from the Broadway musical Promises, Promises and "I Say a Little Prayer."
