Retro Red Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 BBC reporting that Burt Bacharach has died at 94, not what the world needs now.
Keith Houchen Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Yep, he was one of the very best to do it. He’s one of those who people not that into music don’t know who he is but you could play them ten of his songs and they’d know all of them.
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 9, 2023 Paid Members Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) If he'd just written Always Something There to Remind Me you'd say genius, that's one of the best songs ever written. But he's got about 25 songs just as good, and loads more bubbling under. Edited February 9, 2023 by gmoney
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 9, 2023 Paid Members Posted February 9, 2023 94 is a decent age, and as has already been said here he wrote some absolutely cracking songs. I bet BBC4 has a great tribute night lined up for him tomorrow.
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 9, 2023 Awards Moderator Posted February 9, 2023 Because I am Old, about 10 years ago Burt had a Best Of album out. I asked for it for a birthday, it was a double CD with about 40 songs and they were all fucking ace. What a talent.

Love Burt, 94 is a great run, but it’s a shame.
Rockbus2 Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Pretty certain I had the same one too. And again, inspired by Austin Powers. Probably one of the best two pure songwriters of all time along with Brain Wilson. I am really going to be heartbroken when he goes.

Keith Houchen Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 At least that should be an easy one for Thunderplex.
