The 20th century was filled with many incredible songwriters, with Burt Bacharach being one of the most successful. Burt came into the world in 1928 and commenced composing musing throughout the 1980s. He created countless masterpieces for more than 1,000 artists, working many times with Hal David. Dione Warwick is one singer that he was famous for collaborating with, and his jazz harmony and chord progression are iconic.
