I’m 5 years old in about 1971 hearing The Carpenters and others doing your songs. I think I’ve heard *you* singing your songs somewhere…
It’s now 2010 and I saw your gig with Ron Isley and I’m just slayed by how good it is-especially “(They Long To Be) Close To You”. I wish I could write the kinds of melodies and changes that you do. Not *like* you, of course, but with a similar sensibility.
Cheers!

Dear Mr. Bacharach,
I was just listening to “Alfie,” maybe for the thousandth time throughout my life. If you and Mr. David had only created this one gem in your careers, you shoukld be lauded for your genius and talent. The lyrics, the arrangement, the recording (the choice of Dionne Warwick to sing it!) – everything is perfect. Thank you for all of the joy you have brought the world.

I am not able to find sheet music to the song Seconds. Does it exist?
From Buenos Aires – Argentina:
Sr BACHARACH; alguna vez hacia 1976 o 1977 algo llegó a mis oidos y hoy 50 años despues escucho Alfie o Esta no es mi Casa, etc y siento que gracias a ud he conocido mi preferencia musical, la delicadeza del sonido el arte en la musica , la melodía la expresión que conmueve el alma.
Gracias por su talento, por su musica por tod.

Thank you for such incredible arrangements and orchestrations. I listen to things that you did years ago and it still sounds fresh and unique. You are truly inspirational to arrangers like me.
I went to a Burt Bacharach concert here in Hawaii some years ago and I heard a simple tune where every once in awhile there would be a soft section where the drummer would just hit the Bass drum in a way that made it sound like a heart beat. Does anyone know the name of that song? I’ve been buy many cds but have heard it again. … Stanton Haugen
Dear Mr. Bacharach and Hal David,
I can’t thank you enough for the happiness your creations give me- they’re forevermore vibrant, versatile, valid, exciting and loving! Youre the happiest loving guys ever! At this time of year and with Mr. Bacharach currently composing “The Gift of the Magi” music, I must thank you for the fun, beauty, spirit and Christian messages of “Christmas Day”,”The Bell That Wouldn’t Jingle” and ahead of time and very surely, “The Gift of The Magi”. You know how to select singers! Mr. David would be at home in my church!
I’m saving up to send a couple of cans of tennis balls along through the office of Linda Dozoretz, the loss of whom I am saddened by. You and that good-looking, dark-haired Hal David (“Promises, Promises” opening night, last April, next to you and Mr. Neil Simon) lob them back and forth by hand a little over a net in Del Mar or Hasbrouck Heights and trim that Mr. David down.
This Catholic,
R. Craig
Dear Mr. Bacharach:
I´m writing from Madrid. My name is María. In the summer of 2009 I had the great chance to see your performance in Spain. I have to say that it was really memorable. Your music, the lyrics, the message you give… everything you reflect is beautiful. I´m very proud to say that I went to the concert with my mother, my aunt, and my 90 year old grandmother (My grandpa was a big fan of your music when not too many people knew you in this place on earth). We all want to thank you for all the big moments we´ve spent together dancing and listening to your songs. Mr. Bacharach: you´re really something big. Are you going to come back to Spain?
Thank you, thank you, thank you

I have been searching for the sheet music to the original “Casino Royale”, as played by Herb Alpert with no success. Is it available and where can I find it?
I was thirteen when my family and I first saw Casino Royale at a drive-in theater. My mother had died a month or so before. When the title song blasted out of the speaker it put back a spark into my life and the score remains one of my favorites to this day. Two years later I was alone with my grandmother in a theater watching Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, bewildered and yet very much delighted that such exciting music would work with a western. Please excuse my French but fuck John Ford. The musical score he chose for The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is now all but forgotten while Gene Pitney from my home state of Connecticut made the song resonate through the years. I have always wondered why the song was never used. I’ve been on Facebook putting Youtube videos of your songs on my home page for my enjoyment of course and to remind my many FB friends of your seemingly boundless genious which has touched us all without us even knowing who the song’s composer was. The older I get the more I appreciate the beauty of the body your work. I can never repay you for having made my life so much richer so I will just say thank you and God bless you.
Caro Burt, gli anni passano ma le leggende non invecchiano.
Sei il più grande genio musicale di ogni tempo.
Buon compleanno!
P.S. : il 5 luglio sarò a Lucca a vedere il tuo concerto, non vedo l’ora.
First, I reiterate my congratulations to Master Burt Bacharach for his 83 years of life. Life and a lot of life in their wonderful songs and more to come.
I would love if Mr. Burt and Ivan Lins recorded a CD together, like what happened with Elvis Costello and Ronan Keating.
Sincerely,
Djalma Junior

Hello,
When will tickets be available for the performance at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre next April. With which orchestra? From which ticketing outlet?
With thanks,
Andrew.
Dear Burt,
Have you ever considered a collaboration with neil hannon?
I am betting that it would be an instant classic record.

Dear Mr. Burt Bachrach,
I am brazilian and live many years already im Portugal.
Somewhere between my 12th and 14th’s I heard your music for the first time. The film Lost Horizon and your music was a big event in my teneager life. I wish my daughters could today experience the same happines and sweetness by listening to music like yours. Now I am 54 and I still listen to your music in Youtube and feel the same sweetness when I was 14. I don’t know how many times I have already listened to your “The Look of Love” with Ron Isley in Youtube, just because I can’t find the CD. Thank you Mr. Burt from the deepest of my heart, for so many hours of happy feelings, great music and lirics filled with emotions. God bless you and your talent. Linete PS- When do you come to Portugal for a concert ?? Thanks.
