His music is characterized past unusual chord progressions, influenced past his groundwork in jazz harmony, and uncommon selections of instruments for modest orchestras. Most of Bacharach's and David's hits were written specifically for and performed past Dionne Warwick, but earlier associations (from 1957 to 1963) saw the composing duo work with Marty Robbins, Perry Como, Gene McDaniels, and Jerry Butler. Following the initial success of these collaborations, Bacharach went on to write hits for Factor Pitney, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon, Bobbie Gentry, Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, B. J. Thomas, the Carpenters, amongst numerous other artists. He arranged, conducted, and produced much of his recorded output.

A significant figure in easy listening,^[2] Bacharach is described past writer William Farina equally "a composer whose venerable name tin can be linked with just virtually every other prominent musical artist of his era". In later years, his songs were newly appropriated for the soundtracks of major feature films, by which time "tributes, compilations, and revivals were to exist found everywhere".^[vii] He has been noted for his influence on later musical movements such as chamber pop^[viii] and Shibuya-kei.^{[nine] [3]} In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Bacharach and David at number 32 for their list of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.^[10] In 2012, the duo received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Pop Song, the offset time the honor has been given to a songwriting team.^[eleven]

Early life and pedagogy [edit]

Bacharach was built-in in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up in the Kew Gardens^{[12] [13]} section of New York City, graduating from Woods Hills High Schoolhouse in 1946. He is the son of Irma M. (née Freeman) and Marking Bertram "Bert" Bacharach, a well-known syndicated paper columnist.^{[xiv] [xv]} His mother was an amateur painter and songwriter who was responsible for making Bacharach acquire piano during his childhood.^[4] His family was Jewish, but he says that they did not practice or requite much attending to their religion. "Merely the kids I knew were Cosmic," he adds. "I was Jewish but I didn't want everyone to know about information technology."^[xvi]

Bacharach showed a keen interest in jazz as a teenager, disliking his classical pianoforte lessons, and often used a fake ID to gain access into 52nd Street nightclubs.^[4] He got to hear bebop musicians such every bit Dizzy Gillespie and Count Basie, whose manner would later influence his songwriting.^[17]

Bacharach studied music (Available of Music, 1948) at Montreal'southward McGill University, under Helmut Blume, at the Mannes School of Music, and at the Music Academy of the W in Montecito, California. During this period he studied a range of music, including jazz harmony, which has since been important to songs which are mostly considered pop music. His composition teachers included Darius Milhaud, Henry Cowell,^[18] and Bohuslav Martinů. Bacharach cites Milhaud every bit his biggest influence, under whose guidance he wrote a "Sonatina for Violin, Oboe and Piano."^[17]

Kickoff piece of work as a musician [edit]

Bacharach served a tour of duty in the United states Regular army during the Korean War from 1950 to 1952.^[19] There he served in Deutschland and in Korea as a concert pianist playing at officers' clubs and arranging and playing music for dance bands.^{[20] [21] [22]} Following his discharge, Bacharach spent the next iii years as a pianist and conductor for popular vocaliser Vic Damone. Damone recalls: "Burt was clearly leap to go out on his own. He was an exceptionally talented, classically trained pianist, with very clear ideas on the musicality of songs, how they should exist played, and what they should sound like. I appreciated his musical gifts."^[23] He afterwards worked in like capacity for various other singers, including Polly Bergen, Steve Lawrence, the Ames Brothers and Paula Stewart (who became his starting time wife). When he was unable to observe better jobs, Bacharach worked at resorts in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where he accompanied singers such every bit Joel Gray.^[24]

In 1956, at the age of 28, Bacharach's productivity increased when composer Peter Matz recommended him to Marlene Dietrich, who needed an arranger and conductor for her nightclub shows.^[25] He and then became part-time music director for Dietrich, the extra and singer who had been an international screen star in the 1930s.^[26] They toured worldwide off and on until the early on 1960s; when they were not touring, he wrote songs.^[27] As a outcome of his collaboration with Dietrich, he gained his offset major recognition as a usher and arranger.^{[28] [29]}

In her autobiography, Dietrich wrote that Bacharach loved touring in Russia and Poland considering the violinists were "extraordinary", and musicians were greatly appreciated by the public. He liked Edinburgh and Paris, forth with the Scandinavian countries, and "he also felt at dwelling house in State of israel", she wrote, where music was similarly "much revered".^[xxx] Their working relationship ceased by the early on 1960s, later about five years with Dietrich, with Bacharach telling her that he wanted to devote himself full-time to songwriting. She thought of her time with him as "seventh sky ... Equally a man, he embodied everything a adult female could wish for. ... How many such men are there? For me he was the only one."^[thirty]

Songwriting career [edit]

1950s and 1960s [edit]

In 1957, Bacharach and lyricist Hal David met while at the Brill Building in New York City, and began their writing partnership.^[31] They received a career breakthrough when their song "The Story of My Life" was recorded by Marty Robbins, becoming a number 1 hit on the U.S. Country Chart^[32] in 1957.^[eighteen]

Soon afterwards, "Magic Moments" was recorded by Perry Como for RCA Records, and reached No. 4 in the U.South. These ii songs were dorsum-to-back No. i singles in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland (the British nautical chart-topping "The Story of My Life" version was sung by Michael Holliday),^[33] giving Bacharach and David the honor of being the showtime songwriters to have written sequent No. 1 UK singles.

Despite Bacharach's early on success with Hal David, he spent several years in the early on 1960s writing songs with other lyricists, primarily Bob Hilliard. Some of the more successful Bacharach-Hilliard songs include "Please Stay" (The Drifters, 1961), "Tower of Strength" (Gene McDaniels, 1961), "Any 24-hour interval Now (My Wild Cute Bird)" (Chuck Jackson, 1962), and "Mexican Divorce" (The Drifters, 1962).^[34] In 1961 Bacharach was credited as arranger and producer, for the first time on both characterization and sleeve, for the vocal "Three Wheels on My Wagon", written jointly with Hilliard for Dick Van Dyke.^{[35] [36]}

Bacharach and David formed a writing partnership in 1963. Bacharach's career received a boost when singer Jerry Butler asked to record "Make information technology Easy on Yourself", and wanted him to directly the recording sessions. Information technology became the get-go time he managed the entire recording process for ane of his ain songs.^[37]

In the early on and mid-1960s, Bacharach wrote well over a hundred songs with David. In 1961 Bacharach discovered singer Dionne Warwick while she was a session accompanist. That year the 2, along with Dionne's sister Dee Dee Warwick, released a unmarried "Move It on the Backbeat" under the proper noun Burt and the Backbeats.^[38] The lyrics for this Bacharach composition were provided past Hal David's brother Mack David.^[39] Dionne made her professional recording debut the post-obit year with her first hitting, "Don't Make Me Over".^[twoscore]

Bacharach and David then wrote more than songs to make use of Warwick's singing talents, which led to one of the near successful teams in popular music history.^[41] Over the next 20 years, Warwick's recordings of his songs sold over 12 million copies,^{[42] : 23} with 38 singles making the charts and 22 in the Top forty. Among the hits were "Walk on By", "Anyone Who Had a Middle", "Alfie", "I Say a Little Prayer", "I'll Never Autumn in Love Once more", and "Exercise You Know the Way to San Jose?" She would somewhen have more hits during her career than whatever other female singer except Aretha Franklin.^[xl]

Bacharach released his first solo album in 1965 on the Kapp Records characterization. Hit Maker! Burt Bacharach Plays His Hits was largely ignored in the Us simply rose to No. iii on the Britain album charts, where his version of "Trains and Boats and Planes" had become a top 5 single. In 1967, Bacharach signed equally an artist with A&M Records, recording a mix of new material and re-arrangements of his all-time-known songs. He recorded for A&M until 1978.

Although Bacharach's compositions are typically more complex than the average pop song, he has expressed surprise in the fact that many jazz musicians have sought inspiration from his works, saying "I've sometimes felt that my songs are restrictive for a jazz artist. I was excited when [Stan] Getz did a whole album of my music" (What The World Needs Now: Stan Getz Plays The Burt Bacharach Songbook, Verve, 1968).^[17]

His songs were adapted past a few jazz artists of the time, such as Stan Getz, Cal Tjader, Grant Greenish, and Wes Montgomery. The Bacharach/David composition "My Little Scarlet Book", originally recorded by Manfred Mann for the film What's New Pussycat?, has become a rock standard.^[43]

Bacharach composed and arranged the soundtrack of the 1967 film Casino Royale, which included "The Look of Love", performed by Dusty Springfield, and the title song, an instrumental Elevation xl single for Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. The resulting soundtrack album is widely considered to exist one of the finest engineered vinyl recordings of all time, and is much sought after by audiophile collectors.^[44]

Bacharach and David also collaborated with Broadway producer David Merrick on the 1968 musical Promises, Promises, which yielded two hits, including the championship tune and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again". Bacharach and David wrote the song when the producer realized the play urgently needed another before its opening the next evening. Bacharach, who had but been released from the hospital after contracting pneumonia, was still sick, but worked with David'south lyrics to write the vocal which was performed for the show'due south opening. It was later recorded by Dionne Warwick and was on the charts for several weeks.^{[42] : 28}

The year 1969 marked, mayhap, the most successful Bacharach-David collaboration, the Oscar-winning "Raindrops Go on Falling on My Head", written for and prominently featured in the acclaimed film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Child. The two were awarded a Grammy for Best Cast album of the year for "Promises, Promises" and the score was also nominated for a Tony accolade.

Other Oscar nominations for Best Song in the latter half of the 1960s were for "The Look Of Love", "What's New Pussycat?" and "Alfie".^[45]

1970s and 1980s [edit]

He swings. He jumps. He socks imaginary tennis balls from his usher's podium. He'due south a hurricane that knows where it'south heading.

—Rex Reed, American film critic^[46]

Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bacharach continued to write and produce for artists, compose for stage, Television receiver, and film, and release his ain albums. He enjoyed a corking bargain of visibility in the public spotlight, appearing oft on Television set and performing alive in concert. He starred in 2 televised musical extravaganzas: "An Evening with Burt Bacharach" and "Another Evening with Burt Bacharach", both broadcast nationally on NBC.^{[42] : 24} Newsweek magazine gave him a lengthy cover story entitled "The Music Human being 1970".^[47]

In 1973, Bacharach and David wrote the score for Lost Horizon, a musical version of the 1937 film. The remake was a disquisitional and commercial disaster and a flurry of lawsuits resulted between the composer and the lyricist, also as from Warwick. She reportedly felt abandoned when Bacharach and David refused to work together further.^{[50] [51]}

Bacharach tried several solo projects, including the 1977 album Futures, but the projects failed to yield hits. He and David reunited briefly in 1975 to write and produce Stephanie Mills' second album, For The Beginning Time, for Motown.^[52]

By the early 1980s, Bacharach'southward marriage to Angie Dickinson had ended, merely a new partnership with lyricist Carole Bayer Sager proved rewarding, both commercially and personally. The ii married and collaborated on several major hits during the decade, including "Arthur's Theme (Best That Y'all Can Do)" (Christopher Cross), co-written with Cross and Peter Allen, which won an Academy Honour for Best Song;^[45] "Heartlight" (Neil Diamond);^[53] "Making Love" (Roberta Flack); "On My Own" (Patti LaBelle with Michael McDonald.)

Some other of their hits, "That'due south What Friends Are For" in 1985, reunited Bacharach and Warwick. When asked almost their coming together again, she explained:

Nosotros realized we were more than than just friends. We were family unit. Time has a mode of giving people the opportunity to grow and sympathise ... Working with Burt is not a bit different from how it used to be. He expects me to deliver and I tin can. He knows what I'm going to do before I do it, and the aforementioned with me. That's how intertwined nosotros've been.^[54]

Other artists continued to revive Bacharach's earlier hits in the 1980s and 1990s. Examples included Luther Vandross' recording of "A House is Non a Home"; Naked Optics' 1983 popular hit version of "(There's) Ever Something At that place to Remind Me", and Ronnie Milsap's 1982 state version of "Any Day Now".

"I had gone through this with Nikki. Sometimes y'all do things that make you lot feel. It's non about money or rewards."^[63]

Picture and television [edit]

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Bacharach was featured in a dozen boob tube musical and diversity specials videotaped in the UK for ITC; several were nominated for Emmy Awards for management (by Dwight Hemion). The guests included artists such as Joel Grey, Dusty Springfield,^[70] Dionne Warwick, and Barbra Streisand. Bacharach and David did the score for an original musical for ABC-Idiot box titled On the Flip Side, circulate on ABC Stage 67, starring Ricky Nelson as a faded pop star trying for a comeback. While the ratings were dismal, the soundtrack showcased Bacharach's abilities to endeavor unlike kinds of musical styles, ranging from (almost) 1960s stone, to pop, ballads, and Latin-tinged trip the light fantastic numbers.

In 1969, Harry Betts arranged Bacharach's instrumental composition "Nikki" (named for Bacharach's daughter) into a new theme for the ABC Movie of the Week, a television set serial that ran on the U.S. network until 1976.

Musical manner [edit]

The whole room would come to life with his conducting — the way he would expect over at the drummer and with just a flick of his finger, things could happen. One time the groove was happening in the room, forget it; there was nix similar information technology. And everything, including the strings, responded to the kind of trunk movement that Burt had. He brings an incredible amount of life to the studio. He'south probably one of the near amazing musicians in the globe.

—Record producer Phil Ramone^[73]

Bacharach's music is characterized by unusual chord progressions, influenced by jazz harmony, with striking syncopated rhythmic patterns, irregular phrasing, frequent modulation, and odd, changing meters. He arranged, conducted, and produced much of his recorded output.^[74] Though his way is sometimes called "piece of cake listening", he has expressed apprehension regarding that label. Co-ordinate to NJ.com contributor Marking Voger, "It may be piece of cake on the ears, but it'due south anything simply easy. The precise arrangements, the on-a-dime shifts in meter, and the mouthfuls of lyrics required to service all those notes have, over the years, proven challenging to singers and musicians."^[75] Bacharach's selection of instruments included flugelhorns, bossa nova sidesticks, informal flutes, tack piano, molto fortissimo strings and cooing female person voices.^[73] According to editors of The Mojo Collection, it led to what became known every bit the "Bacharach Sound".^[73] He explains:

I didn't want to make the songs the same way as they'd been done, so I'd split vocals and instrumentals and try to make it interesting  ... For me, it's about the peaks and valleys of where a tape can have you. You can tell a story and be able to be explosive one minute, then become quiet every bit kind of a satisfying resolution.^[73]

While he did non heed singing during live performances, he sought by and large to avoid it on records. When he did sing, he explains, "I [tried] to sing the songs not equally a singer, merely just interpreting it as a composer and interpreting a not bad lyric that Hal [David] wrote."^[73] When performing in front of live audiences, he would often conduct while playing piano,^[76] as he did during a televised performance on The Hollywood Palace.^[77]

Personal life [edit]

Bacharach has been married iv times. His first marriage was to Paula Stewart and lasted 5 years (1953–1958). His 2nd matrimony was to actress Angie Dickinson, lasting for 15 years (1965–1980).^[14] Bacharach and Dickinson had a daughter named Nikki Bacharach, who struggled with Asperger's Syndrome and took her own life on January 4, 2007, at the historic period of 40.^[78]
