Burt Bacharach Dies

 Legendary easy listening composer Burt Bacharach has died. He was 94.  

Bacharach was the more famous member of the song writing duo of Bacharach and David. Hal David wrote the words and Bacharach wrote the melodies.

In the late 1960 and early 1970s, his music practically dominated music radio stations as well as variety shows.  Songs like "What The World Needs Now Is Love" and "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" became pop music standards. 

Bacharach's songs were covered by a variety of artists including himself, but his favorite singer and one who brought the most of his music to the forefront was Dionne Warwick.  

Deb and I were fortunate enough to see Warwick perform live in Las Vegas in 2019.
