Dionne & Friends (Elton John, Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder), “That’s What Friends Are For” (four, beginning Jan. 18, 1986) Bacharach's visibility increased in the second half of the 1990s due to his appearances as himself in the Austin Powers films, a U.S. box set release of his music, and a new songwriting partnership that produced a Grammy-winning album. Bacharach formed his songwriting partnership with Elvis Costello initially to write one song, "God Give Me Strength", for the 1996 film Grace of My Heart. The film told the story of a fictional 1960s female Brill Building songwriter, and was inspired by songwriters like Carole King and Bacharach. Vincent Terrace (June 19, 2013). "On the Flip Side".

An exceptionally gifted pianist and a sumptuous arranger, Bacharach wrote a mind-boggling number of classics and narrowing them down to a dozen best is a fool’s errand —even the briefest comprehensive “greatest hits” collections have around 50, and he wrote more than 100 with David alone and even more with others across a 70-plus-year career. What follows below aren’t necessarily his biggest hits or his best songs or even his many perfect pop songs (except for one at the end), but rather 12 stellar examples, among many, that illustrate his genius. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" – Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell, Beyoncé Knowles, Terius Nash& Christopher Stewart (songwriters) (2009)Burt Bacharach would continue to release albums and have his songs recorded all through the 1970s, 80s, and onward. He continued to have multiple modern day hits scoring big with Arthur’s Theme and the huge 1985 hit “That’s What Friends Are For.” One of his later day great projects was an album of new songs he recorded and wrote with Elvis Costello in 1998 entitled Painted from Memory. The album won a Grammy Award . The two reunited in 2018 and wrote three new songs together that appeared on Elvis Costello’s new album. a b Burlingame, Jon (2012). The Music of James Bond.

In her autobiography, Dietrich wrote that Bacharach particularly loved touring in Russia and Poland, because he thought very highly of the violinists performing there, and appreciated the public's reaction. [36] [37] According to Dietrich, he also liked Edinburgh and Paris, along with the Scandinavian countries, and "he also felt at home in Israel", she wrote, "where music was similarly much revered". [36] In the early 1960s, after about five years with Dietrich, their working relationship ceased, with Bacharach telling Dietrich that he wanted to devote himself full-time to songwriting. She thought of her time with him as "seventh heaven ... As a man, he embodied everything a woman could wish for ... How many such men are there? For me he was the only one." [36] [37]

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Howard Shore, John Kurlander (engineer/mixer) & Peter Cobbin (engineer/mixer) (2003) The enormity of Bacharach’s talent and contributions cannot be overstated. Born in Kansas City, Mo, and educated at music at conservatories in Montreal, New York and California, he was a master composer and arranger, not to mention a pretty fair pianist. He could lay out a melody like other people turn on a sink. And when paired with great lyricists — especially Hal David and, later, Carole Bayer Sager and Elvis Costello — Bacharach created timeless works that were strong enough to sustain multiple “definitive” versions. Bacharach's third marriage, to lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, spanned nine years (1982–1991). [119] The duo collaborated on a number of musical pieces and adopted a son, Cristopher Elton Bacharach, in 1985. [120] [119] Burt Bacharach, legendary composer of pop songs, dies at 94". KCAL.
