Burt Bacharach, famous for penning such classic pop songs as "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" and "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?" during a career that has spanned four decades, is experiencing a revival.
This is thanks in part to last summer's "My Best Friend's Wedding" soundtrack, which featured the radio-friendly remake of Bacharach's "I Say A Little Prayer," originally recorded by Dionne Warwick.
Artists and fans are gathering for "Burt Bacharach: One Amazing Night," featuring Noel Gallagher singing "This Guy's In Love With You," Chrissie Hynde doing "Baby It's You," and a special rendition of "What's New Pussycat?" sung by Mike Myers. Other artists confirmed to attend are Ben Folds Five, Elvis Costello, Dionne Warwick, and Luther Vandross. More artists are still expected to be added to the roster.
Tickets go on sale on Monday, March 16 for the April 8 show at the Manhattan Center. The show is being taped to air on the TNT network on April 15 at 8 P.M.
