As if that weren’t enough, May 7 is the release date of Burt’s long-awaited memoir, Anyone Who Had a Heart: My Life and Music. The book’s publisher, HarperCollins, has this to say:
In his memoir Anyone Who Had a Heart, Burt Bacharach, one of the greatest songwriters of all time, offers a frank and riveting account of his unparalleled life. From his tumultuous marriages and the tragic suicide of his daughter, to his collaborations with Hal David, Carole Bayer Sager, Neil Diamond, Elvis Costello, and others, Bacharach details his long-lasting success as well as the never-before-told stories behind the hits. Candid and emotional, and with 16 pages of color photographs, Anyone Who Had a Heart: My Life and Music is Burt Bacharach in his own words—a powerful and personal look at the award-winning songwriter and composer.
Burt’s publicist wrote to say there will be a tour and media appearances to promote the book’s release, which is exciting news, so stay tuned for more announcements in the coming weeks.
