The
Legendary Composer & Songwriter

Celebrates
his 85th Birthday with the release of

“Anyone
Who Had a Heart: The Art of the Songwriter”

This year, legendary composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach celebrates his 85th birthday with the release of a “Anyone Who Had A Heart: The Art of the
Songwriter” --- a 40-track, 2-CD set with various artists performing his memorable
writing collaborations. The complete collection is also available on iTunes ---

Dating from his first pop hit on the charts and especially his
work with longtime writing partner and lyricist Hal David, who helped the duo
create an amazing streak of classics, to those songs of recent years when
Bacharach ventured out on his own to write with Carole Bayer Sager and Elvis
Costello among others, the collection celebrates the work of Bacharach and how
the combined efforts of talented songwriters, majestic melodies, unforgettable lyrics and great vocalists can yield timeless pop
classics and be interpreted in unique ways.

Along with Lennon and McCartney, Burt Bacharach is one of the most celebrated and legendary
song-writers of the twentieth century. His work is recognized around the globe
and the respect he has from his peers and fans alike has made him a true living
legend.
