Library of Congress Gets an Archive of Burt Bacharach's Personal Papers
The Library of Congress (LC) acquired the papers—plus photographs, letters and telegrams, passports, and more—of the late venerated songwriter Burt Bacharach as a gift from his wife, giving the institution its first collection from a Gershwin Prize for Popular Song winner. “Bacharach’s songs are best known for influencing popular music starting in the late 1950s,” the LC says. “Bacharach was best known for his songwriting scores for various films and popular artists such as ‘Alfie,’ ‘Arthur’s Theme,’ ‘Close To You,’ ‘Do You Know the Way to San Jose,’ ‘I Say a Little Prayer,’ ‘I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,’ ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,’ ‘This Guy’s in Love with You’ and ‘What the World Needs Now is Love’ to name a few. His work is recognized with three Academy Awards and eight Grammy Awards, including the 2008 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.”For more information, read the press release.
