Burt Bacharach

Post by tamada » February 10, 2023, 6:21 am

Burt Bacharach dies at 94. The colossally successful pop composer had more than 70 hits, including ‘I Say a Little Prayer.’

Bacharach provided the cocktail party playlist for the swinging ’60s and early ’70s with songs including “Close to You,” “Promises, Promises” and the Oscar-winning “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” Often teaming with lyricist Hal David, Bacharach wrote a succession of hits performed by musical torchbearers of the shag carpet era — Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes, the Carpenters and the 5th Dimension.
