Fifty years from when Burt Bacharach's first compositions were published, the very first biography of one of popular music's most respected writers is finally available. Covering all periods of his life, including his childhood in Kansas City, his work with Tin Pan Alley and his famous collaborations with Hal David, the book also details his affairs with numerous beautiful women including his marriages to Angie Dickinson and Carole Bayer Sager. With millions of Bacharach fans throughout the world, the time couldn't be better for this inspired account of his life.
I'm a personal friend of Burt Bacharach so I knew most of these stories, but I deeply appreciate how thorough and respectful the author was to his legacy. There's nothing bad to say about him. I showed him my copy and he'd not seen all the content. He's not a guy that relives his past in conversation as it's all documented and been told before. But a fan will find this book connects a lot of dots.
