Bacharach also received six Grammys and, as a huge pop chart presence, saw his songs remade and sampled across a variety of genres. Known for creating tunes with gorgeous melodies, Bacharach wrote the popular Broadway musical Promises, Promises and worked on movie theme songs and scores, winning two Oscars for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Starting in the 1950s, Burt Bacharach found success as a songwriter, eventually working with Hal David to write a slew of hits for vocalist Dionne Warwick during the following decade.
