Yeah, he wrote a song or two. Or three.
Only eight Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, an Emmy, and three Oscars to show for it.
And a string of hits from the 1960s to the 1990s. No small number sung by Dionne Warwick.
At home, in Los Angeles, aged 94 years.
What a talent. What a life.
nice catch on Naked Eyes. I had no idea he wrote that 80's hit. Thx
ReplyDeleteanother part of real music dies, to be replaced by the current garbage and satanic shit featured on the latest "grammys" - which, after the most recent gay satan fest I'm sure will win more "fans" than ever.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace, Burt. You contributed so much to music, and the soundtrack of this ol' buzzards life. Respect, sir.

Yes, 'tis pity that we humans eventually hand in our lunch pails. (On the other hand, I can name more than a few who should've checked out long ago. But that's another subject altogether.)
ReplyDeleteClassics. Every one.
ReplyDeleteI was a kid in the 1960s and remember a heck of a lot of these songs.
ReplyDeleteAlso didn't know he did the Naked Eyes one.
Rest in Peace, Burt.
sound track of my childhood

ReplyDeleteGreat work, like the others said. Good tribute to the master.
ReplyDeleteLearned something new about the naked eyes tune.
