Burt Bacharach is simply one of the most accomplished composers of the 20th Century. In the 1960s and '70s, Bacharach was a dominant figure in popular music, writing an amazing 52 Top 40 hits. In their musical sophistication, Bacharach compositions stood apart from much of the simpler pop music of the era. Bacharach songs typically boasted memorable melodies, unconventional time signatures and striking chord changes.

Lastname ------ About the song Wives and Lovers performed by Burt Bacharach Pieces of this song were coursing through my head this morning, memories of my mother playing the "hi-fi" during my youth.

Burt Bacharach Then and Now | Reviewer: Dale Hansen ------ About artist/band Burt Bacharach Help! There was a VHS biography on the Public Broadcasting System several years ago about Burt from Marleana Dietrick to current times. I have looked everywhere and asked everyone for the PBS special and can't find it. Could you help Please. My recorded tape is about worn out. It is the best tape and I have seen all of the recent ones and have been disappointed. I love this song..and I heard how in part it was written...can you fill me in?? | Reviewer: Elizabeth ------ About the song Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) performed by Burt Bacharach This is a great some and certainly worthy of the 1981 academy award for best song. I heard or read somewhere during the writing of the lyrics, that one of the composers was on a plane at night circling over NYC for a long time, gazing at the Moon and NYC and that it was in that moment that the words in the song ..."When you get caught between the moon and NYC....I know it's crazy, but it's true, If you get caught btween the moon and NYC, the best that you can do, best that you can do is fall in love...." ..were written. It is a wonderful story and I'd really like to know if it is true and if so, who is the writer who had this experience and is credited for these words? Burt Bacharach???? Christopher Cross??? Peter Allen??? Thanks so much!!!!
