I am now 60 years old. I am proud of myself for discovering the talent of Burt Bacharach, a man and his music, when I was only 16 years old. I compared all the records that had come out so far. I loved and love the indelible notes and words music of Burt Bacharach like no one else in the world. Not just me. All of Italy. The Music of Burt Bacharach forever in our hearts. Indelible music until the end of the world. And beyond!
My all-time favorite composer - teaming with lyricist Hal David - he laid the future for my entire life. I'm 78 and his passionate songwritiing , melodies and variety molded much of my extensive mp3 playlists. A musical genius of our era.
Burt was in many ways gifted. Not only a brilliant composer in his breed but also a great pianist, accompanist, arranger, conductor and producer....Burt could do all this. A very DEEP BOW and RESPECT for the greatest composer of the 20th century. No other composer can reach that level as he did. BURT my music hero for 50 yrs. His music will live forever. Thank you soooo, soooo much for all the incredible compositions BURT!! R.I.P. my music hero 😪💔
“Is” Please “is a gift from God” whew you scared me🙏🏼😜 I thought perhaps he had, well... at this age it seems all my childhood heroes et al, are passing 😬 and Yes I completely agree👍 Burt’s music soothes my soul, this guy... God has blessed the world through him👍
Bacharach and his major influences-Dusty, Dionne-later the Carpenters - were the best musical gifts my parents could’ve ever given me. And it’s not like they even knew- it was just always on the Wi-Fi. The Rumer trubute CD from a few yrs ago is amazing. Still influencing todays artists. Swing out Sister comes to mind
I perform as “Richard Carpenter” in the show “Carpenters Legacy” in Las Vegas, and one of the highlights of the show is our tribute to the music of Burt Bacharach. His way of taking complex rhythms and phrases yet still making it melodic, memorable, and singable was pure genius. There will never be another Burt Bacharach. Burt, thank you for sharing your talents with the world. What the world needs now is love sweet love, and you gave it to us all. ♥️🎹
Rest in paradise Mr. Bacharach!!!!! You were seemingly a sweet spirited, genuine person, with a beautiful warm, sincere, heartfelt smile!!!!!!!! You are indelibly etched in our hearts, with the wonderful gifts that you have bestowed upon the music industry!!!!! Thank you Burt Bacharach, you were a phenomenal composer, a Blessing to the art of music!!!!!!
Burt Freeman Bacharach - Gone but never forgotten! The incomparable and iconic composer of the 20th century. Born: May 12, 1928, Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. Died: February 08, 2023, Los Angeles, California, U.S. Education: McGill University, Mannes School of Music, Music Academy of the West. God Bless you Burt. May all the angels in heaven sing for you!!!
He always had talent it's called classic music we need more like this we will always listen to him. So many hits best love songs what the world needs now is love!
Grew up listening to their music. An era when music was truly music, and not just a social political agenda like it is now. Vale Burt Bacharach and thanks for the memories of music that had transcended every era since.
You can praise something without putting something else down, you know... By the way, there was plenty of social political music in the 60s and 70s, remember? ;-)
@@Nautilus1972 young folks are not exposed to different types of music these days.which is one of the main reasons why you don't see songwriters like Burt Bacharach..
A giant! Burt is a true genius and his wonderful body of work speaks for itself as one of the best and most enduring collection of songs not only of the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, but of the whole 20th century. I've been listening to them and enjoying them immensely for more than 50 years and hope to do so for many more to come. May his memory be a blessing.Feb 9th, 2023
Watching Bacharach and Warwick live together on stage and watching them looking at each other and completely in sync with each other and playing off each other is a beautiful sight to behold! I was just a girl and my first notice of his music was "The Luck of Love", probably because I was getting to that age where all of the sudden, I was interested in what love was all about! And then in high school, besides my beloved Beatles, discovering Patti Smith, Sex Pistols, Blondie but still also loving Burth Bacharach, Carpenters, Smokey Robinson. etc. It is sad to me that so many people willingly limit themselves by only liking certain genres of music. To be open to ALL music is to be open to anyone's heart- because that's what music does. I love that quote from when someone asked Duke Ellington what kind of music he liked, and he responded, "I like GOOD music". And Mr. Bacharach, thank you because you made some really GOOD music, that all music lovers will forever be grateful for and will play and sing forever.
@@tim2015 Thanks, Tim. But I need to confess my remembrance of Duke Ellington's quote was a little off. I realized after double-checking that he actually said: "There are two kinds of music. Good music and the other kind". The sentiment's the same, but my recollection wasn't quite right! So, in this case, good intentions are hopefully equal to good music!
If 60's mainstream music helped get you through the happy and sad times of your life, then you've just lost a piece of your soul. RIP Burt. You did well for all of us.
In addition to Burt and Hal’s musical knowledge and prowess, they we two secure males who were unafraid to get in touch with their feminine sides, echoing sentiments with such a depth of range and feeling. Dionne’s stellar voice brought their vision so beautifully to fruition. As a teenager in the 60’s, their brilliant collaboration set my emotions free.
God gives us such talents because He will make us happy. Thank God and Jesus...for them. I feel lifted up and happy. God bless You musicians and songers....oh...oh...amazing
Can't be enough accolades for Burt Bacharach. Along with Paul Simon and Neil Diamond he made the 60/70s pop music (music extraordinaire). As well, along with the brilliance of both Hal David and Dionne Warwick the ears of a young America at that time were educated to a much higher element of musical expression than could be hoped for. It took me a year or two (in about the mid to late 60s) to realize that a great deal of the 45s (single records) I was loving and collecting had Burt's stamp on them. Hit after hit after hit (and even some of the non-hits) -- so much fabulous music. Thank you Mr. Bachrach; and thank God for sending you to us. You took a God-given talent and through much sweat and toil turned it into a gift to the world. Well done (time after time after time). And in closing "I Say a Little Prayer for You" for good health and longevity -- and a few more wonderful songs, perhaps (please); because "What the World Needs Now"... is Burt sweet Burt! 2/2019
What a great loss of this legendary composer. He leaves a great legacy with great songs that we can enjoy for a long time to come. Rest in Peace, mister Burt Bacharach.👏
Burt Bacharach left us February 8th, 2023...40 years and 4 days after Karen Carpenter went to heaven. God certainly blessed us forever with their uplifting talent. Carry on up there you two.
When I was in my early teens, listening to his music put me in a world all my own. I listened to him all through college. I was saddened when I learned of his passing.
R.I.P. you genius Sir. Burt! My go-to always as a teenager, hairbrush in hand as my microphone! I was 8/9 listening to a lot of this music and am now much, much older yet the music remains as fresh and young as I was back then! Burt Bacharach...quite possibly one of thee most complex, emotional, vulnerable and beautiful song writers of our time! Still here in June 2023 as Cilla Black and Alfie has just got me through a time in hospital! MUSIC....the 1 constant in out lives🥰🥰🎼🎵🎹🎶
Burt Bacharach was an incredible composer/songwriter.... and was very soft spoken. He was truly the full package. Too bad there aren’t any more class acts like that these days. We surely do need them after hearing some of the crap on stations today. Just noise not true musicianship. 🎶 🎹 🎻 🥁 🎷 🎤
My childhood soundtrack was Burt Bacharach. Memories of sitting in the back seat listening to my parents’ Bacharach 8 tracks while we took a Sunday drive. Thank you for the warm memories.
What happens when this man is no longer with us? Music will lose something essential, most of all sophistication and beauty. Sure, we will always have his music and legacy. But let's hope another Bacharach will come along for future generations.
Brilliant sweet man! Your music has been with me over 50 years.Me and my older sister still talk about music like The Carpenters and how grateful we are to you for "Close to You". Everytime we talk about music your name comes up along with Herb,Hal,The Carpenters,Paul Williams and John Bettis.My favorite instrument is the trumpet and really any horn because of you and Herb.All these years later nothing has changed for me and sis.We must put your music on daily.Thank You for all of your work. We also still have a major crush on you! Love You always Burt!
indeed they did. The medley they did of his music on an early CD is brilliant. And a little less brilliantly lip synched on the Carol Burnett show-avail on youtube. Richard Carpenter is another outstanding composer/arranger.
I think Bacharach and David did more for The Carpenters career, giving them their first hit, and other artists' careers, such as Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, BJ Thomas and Jerry Butler and others.
Omg I’m nine years old again, in love with the girl next door and I hear “ this guy”, amazing😎 true story, 1968, and I still feel it every time I hear his music, so gifted🙏
@@kevinsullivan8570 You can not compare any composers work. But Jim Webb also wrote some great songs too. But when you look at the range that Burt Bacharach has written with Hald David and others then it is really big difference in hits.
Popular music involves a century of music-making. Have been -- since the 1960s -- among Mr. Bacharach's most fervent admirers, yet would not be too categorical of his being superior to other greats as a composer.
I remember his songs when I was still small ..favourite of my elder sisters but I’m familiar and loves his songs and music , his talented musician..soothing music...what a great legend and legacy. ..
6:17-6:26 "Never ever feel embarassed or discomforted by a melody that people can remember or whistle." The documentary documents the impact of these words.
Man., I see a lot of people on TV who are like, broken or offended when you say you're a one hit wonder. The incredible mental fortitude that it takes to compose and arrange and write the lyrics to even a one hit wonder band. Burt is just going to live on forever. You get hooked and swept in by his total package. He is the very definition of perfection. New bands and singers will come along after we are gone and will hear his music and say, "we got to cover this song." There's nothing wrong with that at all. That's how his music moves on into history. Great video. Thank you.
What a beautiful look at this classy, talented man, his music seemed to bookend the Bossa Nova tunes of A.C. Jobim, smooth, beautiful melodies, complex chords, this music will stand the test of time, so great to see Dionne working it and playing with the melodies, wish I had Burt as my piano teacher instead of what's his name........later I taught all this stuff to myself. RIP Burt Bacharach. Such a huge loss.
It's amazing that Bacharach's music for WOMAN was terribly received in 1977. Listening to it now, 40 years later, we can appreciate that it was far ahead of its time. People are basically lazy when faced with something very original. They have little appreciation for nuance and want something that is very easy to understand. That is my humble opinion.
I grew up listening to his melodies as my mom adored his music. So do I. This documentary was brilliant. I loved every second of it, and all of the musical genius's who surrounded this wonderful man.
OMG - You did it again = you're always full of surprises. Rita paid me a visit .Spent the early afternoon w/her. When she left, got caught up with house work and watched the news and opened my tablet for one last song before I hit the sack. And WOW, this wonderful gift. You are so good to me. I'm typing this note w/his music bouncing off my ears. I hope you plan on watching it. He talks "loads" on composing. Really good and interesting advice & stuff. I guess I'll be pulling another late nighter, but it's worth it. I agree w/the comments below me "They will never be another like him. Love and thanks!
We will never see the likes of this genius Burt Bacharach he was a composer and song writer extraordinaire, a creator of mega stars, the principal person who transform popular music of the 60s and 70s to what it today no wonder today's music is in regression because of the absence of this genius
What made his amazing is the fact that he was able to hold his own in the 1960's when the Music at the time was either from The British Invasion, Motown, The Beach Boys were dominating The Charts. Even Phil Spector his Brill Building Colleague was starting to lose steam. I remember hearing not too long ago Jack Jones Get Ready For Love and it had such a Mad Men Vibe to it and it was played on The Show.
It's hard to believe that 35 Years Ago this year On The American Bandstand 33 1/3 Anniversary in 1985 Burt & Dionne did the first Song to help people with AIDS. Since then we've lost so many amazing folks.
Wow, blown away. By everything. Just one little more thing from this video I learned, Promises Promises by Naked Eyes was also by him. There are some extended remixes of that song that I found recently that I love so much. Just shows how long throughout time his influence in my life. I'm 58. I'm going to Wikipedia now and find a list.
he gave so much to music. his associations with so many vocalists are amazing. he will be missed, it is amazing how relevant he remained. it's good to see warwicke here with him, an incredible vocalist.
I grew up hearing Burt Bacharach music all around me. It has become an intefgal part of me. Love it !!! It is a priviledge to have this life experience.
Burt Bacharach, was one of those creative people who just made everything in music fit! the ears and heart; of people who love or are on their way to fall in love, or are in love! Burt, designed songs with this "Got-You! or Got-Chucha-Where-I-Want-Cha"! Hold on your emotions!
In the Bahamas 🇧🇸 were I live every home I went in played this great music of the greatest songs next to Sam Cooke off course his music was very much helpful in sad times for me so As a kid I sing all of them I thank God for this man and his music thank you young man for your hard work and music God blessings on you my friend of music.
I was born in '75 and first recognized Bacharach's name through linear notes on Elvis Costello's first album, he also covered "I just don't know what to do..."...since then I've highly revered him along with the 'likes' of Phil Spector and Joe Meek. Love the Shirelles!!!
"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." Chuck Palahniuk Thank you Burt, you have achieved this goal may times over. Your music will forever make better the lives of those who hear it.
One of the great composers/songwriters. A legend in American pops music history. His music brings joy & happiness to many for decades, and still. Such a loss. He’s now no longer with us, but his music remains. His name’s marked in the pop-music world history. Rest In Peace❤️Burt Bacharach. You’ll always be remembered.

I couldn’t agree with you more.Irreplaceable
Yeah, me too. Same thing as a child in the 60s.
There's a reason that people will be playing this music long after we're gone.

One of the greatest melodists of all time. Let alone the 20th century. And Hal David was such a lyricist. Magic.
When I was a teenager, there now and then came a song that broke me out in goosebumps. Years later I learned they were all written by Bacharach.
That's what my kids are discovering about the Beatles. It's rare they'll ask me "Who's that?" .. and the answer is usually "The Beatles"
always. always.
Don't forget the lyrics, if they played any part in the goosebumps, were written by Hal David.
they were always Burt Bacharach & Hal David . . . to be fair pls. 😘😘

I grew up listening to his melodies as my mom adored his music. So do I. This documentary was brilliant. I loved every second of it, and all of the musical genius's who surrounded this wonderful man.
Happy birthday, Mr. Bacharach. May you live to see 100.
OMG - You did it again = you're always full of surprises. Rita paid me a visit .Spent the early afternoon w/her. When she
left, got caught up with house work and watched the news and opened my tablet for one last song before I hit the sack.
And WOW, this wonderful gift. You are so good to me. I'm typing this note w/his music bouncing off my ears. I hope you plan on watching it. He talks "loads" on composing. Really good and interesting advice & stuff. I guess I'll be pulling another late nighter, but it's worth it. I agree w/the comments below me "They will never be another like him. Love and thanks!
BUR BACHARACH, PARA MI, UNO DE LOS 5 MAS GRANDES COMPOSITORES DE MUSICA DE LA HISTORIA.-
Super nostalgic when i hear burt ,dione and other singer i fee like fying.am so happy n in love ve the songs n music.those were the days my friends.
We will never see the likes of this genius Burt Bacharach he was a composer and song writer extraordinaire, a creator of mega stars, the principal person who transform popular music of the 60s and 70s to what it today no wonder today's music is in regression because of the absence of this genius
was? he still is.
Thank you Burt for the music. my love for music is stronger than ever! watching this makes me want to go to the piano.
He has the best ears in the business!True genius!
Goodbye Burt! One of The Greats. Indelible.
What made his amazing is the fact that he was able to hold his own in the 1960's when the Music at the time was either from The British Invasion, Motown, The Beach Boys were dominating The Charts. Even Phil Spector his Brill Building Colleague was starting to lose steam. I remember hearing not too long ago Jack Jones Get Ready For Love and it had such a Mad Men Vibe to it and it was played on The Show.
It's hard to believe that 35 Years Ago this year On The American Bandstand 33 1/3 Anniversary in 1985 Burt & Dionne did the first Song to help people with AIDS. Since then we've lost so many amazing folks.
He is wonderful, unforgetable, I love Burt ❤ I am spanish. 💐
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this rivetting documentary, Everything about it magical.
Such an incredible talent! I absolutely love, love, LOVE his music!
Your music lives on in our hearts ❤
Wow, blown away. By everything. Just one little more thing from this video I learned, Promises Promises by Naked Eyes was also by him. There are some extended remixes of that song that I found recently that I love so much. Just shows how long throughout time his influence in my life. I'm 58. I'm going to Wikipedia now and find a list.
I enjoyed this vid. I grew up with this era.
So grateful I got to see him 4 years ago at Jazz Alley. RIP BURT Your music will live on forever❤
Today, Feb 10, 2023 a great composer and lyrist passed away. May his soul have an Aliyah .

I grew up hearing Burt Bacharach music all around me. It has become an intefgal part of me. Love it !!!
It is a priviledge to have this life experience.
Au plus grand compositeur Pop du XXe siècle, l'humanité dit Merci…
Burt Bacharach, was one of those creative people who just made everything in music fit! the ears and heart; of people who love or are on their way to fall in love, or are in love! Burt, designed songs with this "Got-You! or Got-Chucha-Where-I-Want-Cha"! Hold on your emotions!
I adore u burt !! u been in my family life , the most brilliant composer !!!
Besides his music, what a likeable personality. He gave, al least to me, many of my best moments. 💙
In the Bahamas 🇧🇸 were I live every home I went in played this great music of the greatest songs next to Sam Cooke off course his music was very much helpful in sad times for me so As a kid I sing all of them I thank God for this man and his music thank you young man for your hard work and music God blessings on you my friend of music.
I was born in '75 and first recognized Bacharach's name through linear notes on Elvis Costello's first album, he also covered "I just don't know what to do..."...since then I've highly revered him along with the 'likes' of Phil Spector and Joe Meek. Love the Shirelles!!!
I did know he wrote all these outstanding...
Triggering...
A talent like that can only be gifted from the gods as most of us mere mortals can only dream of being such a musical maestro
I love when he mentions Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe Suite 2 I have always worshipped that piece
Was lucky to see him 4 times and once backstage = LEGEND
I guess he outlived most of his friends and collaborators ... he had beauty in his musical soul
Great man. Incredible musician.
19:00 I completely understand this Bacharach and Warwick are so linked in my mind I can't hear one without the other.
"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." Chuck Palahniuk
Thank you Burt, you have achieved this goal may times over. Your music will forever make better the lives of those who hear it.
CONHECI A OBRA DESTE MESTRA DA CANÇÃO INTERNACIONAL NO ANO DE 1975 E ME APAIXONEI ,OUÇO ATÉ HOJE !!! ELE É FABULOSO !!!!
One of the great composers/songwriters. A legend in American pops music history.
His music brings joy & happiness to many for decades, and still.
Such a loss.
