Celebrated lyricist Hal David has become the oldest celebrity to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of The Musician’s Institute on Hollywood Boulevard.
David was honored by Paul Williams and Steve Tyrell, and friends and family looked on as he unveiled his plaque with longtime musical partner Burt Bacharach.
The 90-year-old said that he never even dreamed that he would get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and that although his wife and grandkids are excited, he is more thrilled than all of them put together.
Both Tyrell and Williams made touching speeches to honor David, referencing the latter’s hit songs Walk on By, The Look of Love, and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head in their tributes.
