The Library of Congress announced last week that composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David will receive the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first time a songwriting team has been honored.
Bacharach was born in Kansas City; he lived here with his family until he was about four years old, when they moved to Queens borough of New York City.
