Bacharach/David Were The Quintessential Sound of the 60's.
Legendary composer Burt Bacharach’s career spanned more than five decades with hits that include “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head”, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” and “I Say a Little Prayer.” On Thursday, Tina Brausam, Bacharach’s publicist, told the Associated Press that the Oscar winner died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles.
Over the past 70 years, only Lennon-McCartney, Carole King and a handful of others rivaled his genius for instantly catchy songs that remained performed, played and hummed long after they were written. He had a run of top 10 hits from the 1950's, 60's, and into the 21st century, and his music was heard everywhere from movie soundtracks and radios to home stereo systems and iPods, whether “Alfie” and “I Say a Little Prayer” or “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” and “This Guy’s in Love with You.”
Dionne Warwick was his favorite interpreter, but Bacharach, usually in tandem with lyricist Hal David, also created prime material for Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, and many others. Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, the Beatles, and Frank Sinatra were among the countless artists who covered his songs, with more recent performers who sung or sampled him including White Stripes, Twista and Ashanti. “Walk On By” alone was covered by everyone from Warwick and Isaac Hayes to the British punk band the Stranglers and Cyndi Lauper.
What the world needs now is love sweet love ... now more than ever. RIP Mr. Bacharach.
