Burt Bacharach has died at the age of 94.
https://variety.com/2023/film/obituaries-people-news/burt-bacharach-dead-american-music-1235517943/While he was best known as a legendary songwriter in the music world, he also made countless contributions to the movies. He won 2 Oscars for 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. One for his underscore, and the other for the song, ‘Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head.’ He later won a third Oscar for the tune, ‘Best That You Can Do’ from 1981’s Arthur.
I still remember the use of “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” from Spider-Man 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL8hVXSDmNM
