TRUTH !!
The song, "Beware of the Blob", actually made the Billboard "Hot 100" chart, peaking at #33...Mac David was the brother of Hal David, who has paired with Bacharach on many hits, starting with the Marty Robbins hit, "The Story of My Life". Their early work includes "Magic Moments", a hit for Perry Como, the Shirelles' "Baby, It's You", Sarah Vaughn's "Broken Hearted Melody", "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance," and three other Gene Pitney hits. and on and on.....................
