Burt Bacharach

Now at 92 years old, the American pianist, record producer, songwriter, and composer Burt Freeman Bacharach was responsible for composing hundreds of pop songs throughout the ‘50s until the ‘80s. He is the recipient of six Grammy Awards and three Academy Awards, and his songs have been recorded by over a thousand different artists. By 2014, he had written a total of 52 UK and 73 US Top 40 hits, and he was considered as one of the most significant composers of popular music in the 20th century.

At 88 years old, Bachrach arranged and composed his first original score in 16 years for the 2016 film A Boy Called Po. Even now, in his 90s, Bacharach has collaborated with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Daniel Tashian in July 2020 on his first new material after 15 years, the EP “Blue Umbrella.” He still hasn’t run out of gas, even at his age.
