Burt Bacharach has died at age 94. He wrote or co-wrote 73 US Top 40 hits, five of which went to #1. Here are some of them.
He personally introduces this live version of Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, which went to #1.
This went to #1. Some of The Carpenters songs were kinda cheesy but I think this one is good.
This went to #1. It's from the movie Arthur, which I never saw.
His two others that went to #1 I wasn't as fond of.
Here was a hit from the 80s that he wrote that I didn't know he wrote until just recently.
He wrote several songs that Dionne Warwick had hits with. This one, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello performed in one of the Austin Powers movies.
Here is Dionne Warwick doing a live version of Walk On By.
Here's one more that Dionne Warwick did.
Here's one that Tom Jones had a big hit with.
Here's one that he co-wrote with Neil Diamond and his then-wife Carol Bayer Sager that was featured in E.T., a movies that was hugely popular in the 80s that I never saw.
Okay, that's enough. Heckuva career. RIP Burt Bacharach.
