Burt Bacharach was an award-winning American pianist and composer, born on May 12, 1928, in Kansas City, Missouri. He is best known for his pop hits from 1962-1970, which he composed and often performed himself. His songs were mainly written by Hal David, with whom he had a successful collaboration. Bacharach also worked briefly with Hal's brother Mack David and his ex-wife Carole Bayer Sager.
Throughout his career, Bacharach was married to several notable women including actress Paula Stewart (1953-1958), actress Angie Dickinson (1965-1980), songwriter Carole Bayer Sager (1982-1991), and finally Jane Hansen since 1993. In recognition of his talent and contributions to music, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 1971.
Burt Bacharach's unique style has influenced many artists in the industry. Some similar artists include Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, The 5th Dimension, Dionne Warwick, Elvis Costello & The Imposters among others.

Box Sets

Four CD collection following the songwriting beginnings of Burt Bacharach. Featuring vintage Bacharach interpreted by Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Frankie Avalon, Gene Pitney, Andy Williams and many more. Including a CD of Bacharach’s Influences and Inspirations.

Burt Bacharach revolutionised popular songwriting, employing a previously unimagined technical sophistication that would find full expression in the 1960s, when with an astonishing run of memorable hits, he and his lyricist partner Hal David ruled the pop charts.

Inspired by his love of the French Impressionist composers, Brazilian folk music, Bebop and modernist jazz, Bacharach won the respect of everyone from Brian Wilson to Bill Evans, to Frank Zappa, but his early years had been ones of struggle and frustrating compromise.This collection reveals an eclectic apprenticeship (a dizzying world of Frankie Avalon- esque US teen idols, male and female soul singers, doo-wop and close harmony groups, B movie theme tunes, torch singers, crooners and novelty records) that culminated in the landmark first hits; ‘Magic Moments’, ‘The Story of My Life’, ‘Make It Easy on Yourself’, ‘Baby It’s You’, ‘I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’ and (with the emergence of Bacharach &amp; David’s greatest interpreter Dionne Warwick) ‘Don’t Make Me Over’.
