Description: This is a rare promotional DVD from A&E titled “The Songmakers.” It contains 3 documentaries: Burt Bacharach, Bobby Darin & Lieber & Stoller. It runs about 3 hours long. Promotional DVDs are just like regular DVDS except they have no fancy packaging or colorful labels. The DVD has basic information stamped on it and comes in a plain jewel case. The case is sealed. The quality of the video and audio is perfect. Several of rock and pop music's best and most important early songwriters, along with some stellar performers, are profiled on The Songmakers Collection, a DVD with three separate episodes of the A&E Network's Biography series. The three features focus on the life and loves of Burt Bacharach, the classically trained composer of so many pop standards; on Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, dubbed "the fathers of rock & roll songwriting" for their work with everyone from Big Mama Thornton and the Coasters to Elvis Presley and Peggy Lee; and on Bobby Darin, the ultra-versatile, swingin' talent who lived with the prescience of an early death due to heart problems (he died at 37).
