3:08. The intimacy and beauty of Karen Carpenter’s voice and Bacharach’s songwriting magic was sublime.

There simply is nothing like the music of the 60's and 70's: Singers and Songwriters!♥

We'll miss him terribly..." what the world needs now is love sweet love". Hope to see you again Burt!

His songs were in and out of my entire life. So catchy ...
My father absolutely loved Bacharachs songs and played and sang them all through my childhood and teens and at my wedding I say a little Prayer 🙏

[zipsmith]

My teen years were full of his songs. We sang them all with Dionne Warwick and others. Even Herb Alpert This Guy's in Love With You. Burt will forever live with us in his songs. I still play them.

[johnphillips]

I played for Burt as the featured soloist for 11 years & just loved the guy! R.I.P., Burt. John.

Unforgettable music, the sounds of a generation, RIP Burt great composer !

[TwanJohn]

What do you get when you fall in love is one of my favorite songs ever. What a splendid catalog & career. Rip & thank you

[SteveBrant]

Yes.... even "Close To You". I'd argue The Carpenters wouldn't be as big as they were without that song. What music history he made! RIP Burt Bacharach.

[LMays-cuhp]

Bless this gentleman so much!!!! He has given us such beautiful music for so many years.

[bluevictory]

His songs bring me back to my childhood of the late 1960s early 1970s. Listening to Bacharach songs with Dionne Warwick singing on 8 track tapes in my parents car., dad driving, mom on the other side and me. Wonderful memories! Bacharach is a legend and greatly missed! My sincere condolences to his entire family, may he R.I.P.
