A recipient of three Academy Awards, eight Grammys, and a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Burt Bacharach has been one of the most-honored and successful composers for six decades. His music is as diverse as his audiences, spanning generations and continents, as he is celebrated both as a pop culture icon and one of the world's greatest contemporary composers.
