R.I.P. Burt Bacharach

[Mr. Negative]

I had no idea. I'm too detached from the world.

RIP to 1/2 of prolly my GOAT Singer/Songwriter pairings (Warrick/Bacharach), and one of my GOAT songwriters/arrangers.

It may be unappreciated here, but dude's songwriting/production sound was unorthodox as shyt and sounded liked the future (especially for his time). Dude was a fukking genius. Only better person at music arrangement and off the wall shyt that sounded great was Stevie Wonder, IMO.




(this my GOAT song, btw. Ask somebody that KNOW me know me)









Ima stop or i'd be posting shyt all night.

I was listening to NPR tonight when I heard the news

Burt Bacharach, Composer Who Added a High Gloss to the ’60s, Dies at 94 (Published 2023)

His sophisticated collaborations with the lyricist Hal David — “The Look of Love,” “Walk On By,” “Alfie” and many more hits — evoked a sleek era of airy romance.

Same! Nice news story, knew all the songs they reviewed

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Dude got classics for eons

One of my favorite songs ever. I don’t care who sings it. R.I.P.

 

[Clayton Endicott]

Dr Dre also took piano lessons from him

Another classic he wrote...

I think he played the piano on Lost Ones. Dre sent him some beats to make some melodies to, and Lost Ones was born from that

 

[Tribal Outkast]

No shade but OP do loves anything cac..from old cacettes to this..sorry my bro but..easy on the white stuff

Lot of black folks sung his shyt

 

[TEH]

I thought that he was dead already no disrespect. Him and Neil Diamond ruled white pop music in the 70’s. RIP

 

[Sinnerman]

One of my favorite songwriters ever. classics upon classics

RIP

This will go over most heads. That’s why I laugh at people who act like they listen to everything but really don’t.

 

[Amo Husserl]

His pen remained superb.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Damn. That dude's name was everywhere when I was little. Wasn't into him, but if you listened to Top 40 radio way back when, you couldn't NOT hear something connected to him.​

 

[I love Latina women]

One of my favorite songs ever. I don’t care who sings it. R.I.P.

Yup, one of my favorites as well

 

[Fill Collins]

Damn, even if you didn't know, you've heard his music before

No shade but OP do loves anything cac..from old cacettes to this..sorry my bro but

He was very prolific

 

[TripleAgent]

94 was a good run. RIP

 

[Mr. Negative]

Damn, even if you didn't know, you've heard his music before


He was very prolific

VERY



it reminds me of that RIP David Bowie thread, nikkas going "y'all love these cacs too much" for some daps, not knowing Vandross wouldn't have even had a career if Bowie didn't threaten other white folks if they didn't stop blackballing Luther for being black (and gay).

 

[IIVI]

Dang, RIP. Dude is a legend, this one hurts.

If you really into music like that, you'd know this guy's hits.

Dionne Warwick is one of my favorite singers of all-time. Classics for days.
