NEW YORK (AP) — At age 90, Burt Bacharach hasn't lost faith in the power of music.
"Music softens the heart, makes you feel something if it's good, brings in emotion that you might not have felt before," he told The Associated Press during a recent telephone interview. "It's a very powerful thing if you're able to do to it, if you have it in your heart to do something like that."
The celebrated songwriter has collaborated with fellow Grammy winner Rudy Perez on "Live to See Another Day," a somber ballad inspired by the Parkland massacre and other school shootings. Released Monday, the song was recorded with the Miami Symphony Orchestra and features the vocals of two Florida teens, Haven Star and Angie Green.
