To commemorate the life and work of Burt Bacharach, who died last week at the age of 94, the Amazing Tyler Cowen reflects on some “Burt Bacharach moments” here. For my part, the first recording that I ever remember hearing on the radio as a child was “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head“, one of my mom’s favorite songs. (I did not know until now that this ballad was the theme song for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.) Although this classic tune features the voice of B. J. Thomas, it was composed by none other than Burt Bacharach, along with the great Hal David, who wrote the lyrics.
