Enjoy a tribute to the timeless songwriting from a groundbreaking duo of lyricists. Hal David was a renowned pop music lyricist who has left a significant impact upon music by producing hit after hit throughout the 1960s and 70s with composer Burt Bacharach, including the famous tunes "What the World Needs Now Is Love", "Walk On By" and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head". David and Bacharach were honored by President Obama as "two kings of songwriting" and were presented the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the nation's highest prize for popular music.
If there is anyone in music who can make you realize part of why songs resonate so deeply in your mind and soul after hearing them, it's the talented prolific writing duo of Bacharach and David. This tribute by Lost and Found radio focuses on their work within the genre of Soul, having penned memorable songs for a number of outstanding vocalists.
Sit back and enjoy a wealth of beautifully written tunes across multiple music genres which all relate to one another as joyful and memorable in their impact upon the listening experience.
