Burt Bacharach, the composer of classic pop songs including I Say A Little Prayer and Walk On By, has died at the age of 94.
His publicist confirmed to the PA news agency that he died surrounded by relatives at home on Wednesday, and said Bacharach’s family requested privacy. The cause of death, which happened at home in Los Angeles, was natural causes, his publicist Tina Brausam said on Thursday.
Bacharach was a composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist. He composed hundreds of pop songs, beginning in the 1950s, and collaborated on many of them with lyricist Hal David, who died in 2012 aged 91.
