Recently departed at the grand old age of 94, Burt Bacharach was one of the all-time greats – an American composer, songwriter, record producer and pianist who is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of 20th-century popular music. Bacharach wrote seventy-three U.S. and fifty-two UK Top 40 hits in his lifetime, and arranged, conducted, and produced much of his recorded output. He helped make stars out of the likes of Dionne Warwick, Gene Pitney, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, and B. J. Thomas, and his songwriting accolades include six Grammy Awards, three Academy Awards and one Emmy Award. In 2012, Bacharach and his songwriting partner, Hal David, received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song – the first time the honour has been given to a songwriting team. This playlist spans some of the great interpretations of his songs by a range of artists.
