Description
Bacharach tried several solo projects, including the 1977 album Futures, but the projects failed to yield hits. He and David reunited briefly in 1975 to write and produce Stephanie Mills‘ second album, For The First Time, for Motown.
By the early 1980s, Bacharach’s marriage to Angie Dickinson had ended, but a new partnership with lyricist Carole Bayer Sager proved rewarding, both commercially and personally. The two married and collaborated on several major hits during the decade, including “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” (Christopher Cross), co-written with Christopher Cross and Peter Allen, which won an Academy Award for Best Song; “Heartlight” (Neil Diamond); “Making Love” (Roberta Flack); and “On My Own” (Patti LaBelle with Michael McDonald). Another of their hits, “That’s What Friends Are For” in 1985, reunited Bacharach with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.
