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.

What a wonderful man. His compositions were magical. My growing up years were filled with his music and our larger family had some great bonding experiences singing along to his songs around the piano. R.I.P. Burt Bacharach. The epitome of cool and class.
