A Tribute to Burt Bacharach & Hal David

Live performances of Burt Bacharach & Hal David's greatest hits by various artists at the Royal Albert Hall in London to benefit Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center.

[@letmetalkabout....1275]

Burt Bacharach has just passed away. I love his songs so much. I am so sad. I grew up listening to his music. May I say a little prayer for you and you are right when you said what the world needs now is love. We love you so much.

[@carolynforge8586]

AGREED... I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@seed1usa865]

I had no idea he had passed...I was just thinking what a sad day it would be when he did. He was always one of my favorite composers and writers along with Hal David.

As a former TENOR SAX player, this TRIBUTE to BURT & HAL is so wonderful ! Had the joy of playin' my horn behind DIONNE WARWICK back in 1964 when she was startin' to amaze the world singing their songs !

I'm 76 and the music of Burt Bacharach were the ones grew up with.

[@marlaruce]

Burt Bacharach's song "What the World Needs Now" is very appropriate more than ever as the world needs love as it is the only thing that there's too little of because if there is such an abundance, this world would be a better place to live.

[@bobolulu7615]

My God, just look at the feeling and emotion Burt is putting into his playing! Bravo Burt, Rest in Peace

[@annmartin8663]

Had the pleasure of meeting (1st time) Burt Bacharach around 3 a.m. in a coffee shop at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas where he was headlining in a show with Anthony Newley many years ago. He was so gracious! I complimented him and then he kissed my hand! I then walked back to my booth where my best friend was sitting. Mesmerized and showing her my kissed hand I told her "I will never wash this hand again!" I would meet Mr. Bacharach 3 more times. The last time was many years later, at a charity event at a local hospital in my community and he was the special guest of honor. When the timing was appropriate I approached Burt Bacharach and told him he and I met once before years ago (told him where we met). I was holding a program for that day's event and he asked me for it. So while I patiently and excited waited he first asked me my name then wrote in it, "Ann, so very nice to see you again!" OMG how sweet!!

[@derekmcc]

Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

His music along with Dionne Warwick singing was lullaby and when I grew up, they sang to me and my beloved. May he rest in eternal paradise and peace. I love you Burt!!!😢❤

Dionne and Burt a musical gift from God. Absolutely love them both.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Don't forget the lyricist Hal David.

[@seanohare5488]

[@waynehlau]

No one will ever come close to producing the hits of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. What a wonderful tribute to these two, and now even more special that they both are no longer with us. This is such a special concert, thanks to the Brits for putting this on.

[@ginafinch12]

I loved Burt and Hal's music. They were very gifted and adding Dionne's voice put this music in a class by itself. Their music has a full array of emotions. They don't make music like this today. God bless them.

[@Diva2985]

The best music in the 60's...Love Burt Bacharach ,Hal David and Dionne Warwick!

Found out Mr. Bacharach passed away today, thank you for sharing this when you did, little did you know someone would absolutely love it 9 years later after Burt passed on! RIP Burt Bacharach, you will be missed but your music will live forever!

[@alexandragarnica1030]

😢

[@LostNNYGal]

I was just watching a show on Burt Bacharach on PBS and singing all the songs. The nurse was standing near my door (I live in a nursing home the youngest one here at the age of 63) she told me she listened to the whole thing with me singing and she told me she never heard any of those songs before. I was shocked!

[@guaracititosalgado3029]

Eu também ficaria chocado! Dionne Warwick, B.J.Thomas e Karen Carpenter fizeram sucesso com as músicas do Burt Bacharach. Talvez, para a sensibilidade musical desta enfermeira, estas músicas passavam despercebidas. Afinal, a música refinada e sofisticada do Burt Bacharach não encontra pouso em todos os cérebros, mesmo passando pelos ouvidos. Nem todos têm o mesmo grau de sensibilidade musical. Gosto e sensibilidade fazem a seleção!

[@victorcrain644]

Early in his career, Bachrach was music director for Marlena Dietrich, who described him in her autobiography as "the perfect man." That's very high praise from a very smart and reportedly demanding woman. He toured with her for five years, and then left to devote his time to composing. I'm sure there's a story that doubtless we will never know.

[@barbarakeating23]

Yesterday was Burt’s 95 birthday and his first birthday in heaven- always loved and brilliant- my heart is full but grateful for the memories and the blessings of his life and talent ❤

[@gonzigonzales4251]

Even the back up singers am sure were truly honored to be part of the concert. Nice voices!!👏👏👏👏

[@waynehlau]

Yes, high compliments to the three ladies who did backup ... perfect blending and background 💕💕

[@peterskye5158]

In Warwick we have the genuine article. Other performers pale next to her. She is the voice of Bacharach/David, par excellence!

[@barbarahamme2760]

Particularly meaningful to see this a day after the sad death of the incomparable Burt B. 😢😘

[@BlueBeeThemeMusic]

The classy man who worked so hard and deserved all those uncopyable hits. The language of music is eternal, universal, liberating and unites lifeforms.

[@venitabanerjee]

A treat of nostalgia hearing Sacha Distel, Petula Clark , Leo Sayer , Elvis Castello, &... Dionne Warwick takes the cake !!! .A great platform for new young singers ... Though nothing compares to the old , that's gold !!! Like the magic of the partnership of Warwick , BB & HD ..!!!

[@rickw1100]

One of the greatest! All Kinds of People is often an overlooked masterpiece! Godspeed Burt!!

[@MrQuebec11]

Wasn’t enjoying the performances until Dionne Warwick showcased her legendary voice. Her voice was meant for his music. A beautiful combination.

[@dorothygale1104]

I am becoming my father seemingly with each passing day as my first thought as I started watching this video was: “This is what music with a melody sounds like”. This music was relevant when it was written, it is relevant today, and it will be relevat 100 years from now. Timeless music.

[@taniadelacombe4476]

All this songs will live (and sung) forevermore...isn't that fabulous??👏✨️1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣💙🪄👏👏👏✨️

[@AnaFriasSaez]

Well, what a incredible, amazing, uncanny concert! Just perfect! one of a kind

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I really appreciate singers who pay tribute to the composers by NOT putting their own ridiculous spins on these songs & by sticking to the very carefully crafted songs as they were written. The only ones that have the right to change anything up a bit are Dionne or Petula because they WERE there from the get go. And Petula didn't even do that, bless her heart.💓 No one ever tries to sing Karen Carpenter - she was one of a kind. 💓Bless her for THAT tribute.

[@MikeGodetteMusic]

Completely agree. I thought opening with Wives and Lovers in 4/4 was a pretty odd choice, especially considering the fact that Burt never liked it in 4 and said it was meant to be played as a waltz

[@lliamjurdom9505]

RIP Burt Bacharach .... much loved music and memories ... thank you.

Great to see so many fantastic artists, especially Edwin Starr, who passed in 2003. What a treasure to see Burt and Elvis Costello perform live together here. And then to have Dion Warwick come out to sing, with Burt accompanying her, simply marvelous!

[@barbjohnson6268]

Burt Bacharach's music will never be forgotten. He crossed many decades and culture lines which was such an amazing feat. He was an amazing artist, arranger and musician. If you get a chance, read his book - My Life and music ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART. He was something else. I read it while playing his songs on KZbin. Brought back memories. ❤

[@nancyelsas1638]

Gonna read it - thanks

[@bannahhanover9673]

Just can't do it like the original musicians and vocals. Thank you Bert Bacharach!

My husband, a stroke survivor, and the kind of person that Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy is for. It's his birthday tonight, and we came along this video because he really relates to Burt Bacharach. As soon as I put it on he sang along -- beautiful, spledid. Thank you to all of you who donated your energy to this performance and video. Even though we can not be a part of what you are all doing at Nordoff-Robbins (wish we could), we enjoyed from afar in the Netherlands.
