I just read a very sad new. Burt Bacharach passed away at 94. He was certainly one of the best popular music composers ever.
His songs were covered by numerous jazzmen (including myself, modestly)...
It's impossible to list all the hits he authored, but I'd particularly remember "A house is not a home"

Indeed, incredibly sad news. Burt Bacharach, the singularly gifted and popular composer and Oscar winner who delighted millions with the quirky arrangements and unforgettable melodies of Walk on By, Do You Know the Way to San Jose and dozens of other hits, has died aged 94. I had the pleasure to see him in concert. An absolute star.

He got 94 trips around the sun. He deserves a standing ovation for that as much as his music! Big favorite of mine. Great writer.

AS a child in the 60s, learning to play piano (mainly by ear) I had trouble working out Bacharach's chords.
For example, the second chord in "Raindrops Keep Falling" - in C I tried Em - that didn't work. Then my brother (who was working with a very talented muso) told me the chord was called C Major7th, and included a B natural. From there I was all over it and I became a chord junkie.
So thanks Burt, for helping me to learn chords.

And then came the 2/4 bars .....

He gave us a lot of tunes. Many more than I realized.
I mostly associated him with the 60's & 70's
He was a lot more than that

I barely remember this one on AM radio but there were so many others.
What beautiful music.

Rest in musical peace Burt . . . and thanks.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
