Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach - Anyone Who Had a Heart

I came upon this video by chance.  I like Elvis Costello and I've heard many versions of this song.

Elvis Costello was one of the early "New Wave" acts that made a name for himself in North America.  His appearance on S.N.L. caused many people to develop a taste for this  genre of music.   Lyrics that  challenged political leaders and referenced literature weren't a staple of mainstream top 40 at that time.  It was limited to disco and stadium rock.  Costello has continued to put out albums, including one with Burt Bacharach.  Unfortunately, this song is not included.
