Burt Bacharach: The Music Maestro Who Defined An Era

[@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel]

Award-winning songwriter/composer Burt Bacharach was behind a wide array of hits, including “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” Starting in the 1950s, Burt Bacharach found success as a songwriter, eventually working with Hal David to write a slew of hits for vocalist Dionne Warwick during the following decade. Known for creating tunes with gorgeous melodies, Bacharach wrote the popular Broadway musical Promises, Promises and worked on movie theme songs and scores, winning two Oscars for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Bacharach also received six Grammys and, as a huge pop chart presence, saw his songs remade and sampled across a variety of genres. Burt Bacharach was born on May 12, 1928, in Kansas City, Missouri, but was raised in New York City by artist/songwriter Irma Freeman and newspaper columnist Bert Bacharach. Initially encouraged by his mother, the young Bacharach studied music at the Mannes School of Music, McGill University, The New School for Social Research, and Music Academy of the West. After a stint in the U.S. Army-during which time he played piano and arranged music for a dance band-he embarked upon a career as a songwriter at the end of the 1950s. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Read more about the life of Burt Bacharach here: geni.us/BurtBacharachBio ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💥 History and Nostalgia Channel: (20th Century History Documentaries)💥 Welcome to the Remember This KZbin History and Nostalgia Channel where we discuss thought provoking subject matter from recent the recent past to modern day... get ready for 20th Century History Documentaries content on all things from conspiracy theories to real events and how they shaped our lives.

Uma pena não estar em português ou pelo menos ter a legenda. Burt Bacharach foi o maior compositor que conheci. Dono de um talento único, melodias incomparáveis e lindas, mesclou elegância e sofisticação numa época em que não existia isso. Se vc ouvir gravações dessas músicas, perceberá o quão na frente estava em comparação com o que se fazia na época.
