Full article:

Jack Jones : Burt is one of the best off today's composers. He has a fresh approach to music, typical of which is his song Wives And Lovers which, I believe, was the first commercially-successful jazz waltz. His arrangements are as interesting and as tasteful as his melodies and help sell many of his songs. Burt Bacharach is a remarkable man.
