There’s more great music this Sunday as we celebrate Burt Bacharach. An all-star lineup of singers performs Bacharach’s biggest hits including “Walk on By,” “I Say a Little Prayer for You,” “What the World Needs Now” and more. To top it off, Bacharach leads his band through a medley of his iconic film music, including “The Look of Love,” “Arthur’s Theme,” “What’s New Pussycat?” and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” before closing with a full cast performance of “That’s What Friends Are For.” It’s BURT BACHARACH’S BEST, airing this Sunday at 7:30 PM. 

If I had a dollar for every time I played a Bob Dylan record on the radio, I’d have several thousand bucks to spend. Oddly, I’ve only seen him in concert once, but it was a night to remember. This week, we take you back—way back—to hear what he was like at the famed Newport Folk Festival from 1963 to 1965. See the moment the music scene changed when he picked up an electric guitar on stage. There’s never been a songwriter or performer quite like him, and these early concerts show how it all began. Watch BOB DYLAN—LIVE IN NEWPORT 1963-1965 this Tuesday at 8 PM on PBS Western Reserve.
