Annotation

One of the great success stories of the 1960s, the story of the songwriting partnership between Burt Bacharach and Hal David is told through in-depth research and interviews with the duo, their contemporaries, and many of the artists with whom they worked, such as Dionne Warwick and BJ Thomas, in Robin Platts's informative biography, WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW. Though David had already penned hits previous to their partnership, the combination of his lyrical sophistication with Bacharach's imaginative orchestrations was an ideal fusion of both men's talents. After their initial success writing hits for artists like Marty Robbins and Perry Como, their long association with singer Dionne Warwick was a perfect confluence of material and interpretation. Forays into the world of Broadway musicals and movies followed, with Oscar-winning songs like "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" from BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID; their unbroken string of hits was interrupted only by the failure of the movie LOST HORIZON, which resulted in a torrent of lawsuits and the sundering of their partnership. Platts's well-told history is an entertaining and enlightening look at one of the 1960s' great creative songwriting alliances.
