Burt Bacharach Lyrics

Burt Freeman Bacharach (/ˈbækəræk/ BAK-ə-rak; May 12, 1928 – February 8, 2023) was an American composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist who is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of 20th-century popular music.

He composed hundreds of pop songs from the late 1950s, many in collaboration with lyricist Hal David.

Bacharach's music is characterized by unusual chord progressions, influenced by his background in jazz harmony, and uncommon selections of instruments for small orchestra.

He received various accolades including three Academy Awards, six Grammy Awards, and an Emmy Award.

A six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner, Bacharach's songs have been recorded by more than 1,000 different artists.

At the time of his death, he had written seventy-three U.S. and fifty-two UK Top 40 hits. -Wikipedia
