It's odd that his AP obit doesn't even mention the song I best know him for - the classic "The Look of Love" - which was a huge hit in 1966. But he was also well known for another tune - "Mas Que Nada" - that made him a big name around the world.
He was 83.
And the Look of Love remains a much underplayed but terrific oldie.
