Bacharach is considered as being one of the most important composers of 20th-century popular music, having composed hundreds of pop songs from the late '50s through to the '80s, many of which were in collaboration with lyricist Hal David.
Songs he co-wrote that topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart include 'This Guy's in Love with You', 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head', ' Close to You', 'Arthur's Theme ' and 'That's What Friends Are For'.Advertisement Two of the Oscars were for the classic Western 1969 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, for which he provided the score and the track 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head' while the other was for 'Arthur's Theme ', his main theme for the 1981 comedy Arthur.
