Dionne Warwick and Cher both recorded popular versions of the song. “Alfie” was first recorded by Cilla Black for the original film Alfie starring Michael Caine. More recently, audiences may have seen Bacharach play the song himself in a cameo from 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. The song has otherwise been used in many soundtracks for films such as My Best Friend’s Wedding, For the Love of Fred, Forrest Gump, and many others. In 1971 a disc jockey named Tom Clay created what became a popular and poignant remix of the song. The original version of “What the World Needs Now” was recorded in 1965 by Jackie DeShannon, and it reached number 7 on the charts.

The song was also covered twice in the sixteenth episode of the popular TV show Glee. Dionne Warwick was present when he sang it at the 1988 NAACP Image Awards. Luther Vandross recorded what seems to be the most popular version of the song in 1981.

It was the theme song for a movie of the same title, and it became a part of the musical Promises, Promises (which Bacharach wrote with Hal David in the 60s), and which enjoyed a Broadway revival in 2010. “A House is Not a Home” was originally recorded by Dionne Warwick. The song was also improvised by Wayne Brady for an International Delight commercial in the early 2000s. Aretha Franklin also made a popular cover of the song in 1968. It was originally sung by the talented Dionne Warwick. Today’s audiences probably know it from My Best Friend’s Wedding. “Say a Little Prayer” is one of Burt’s most popular songs.
However, the song has been used in many movies and TV shows since the 60s – Spiderman 2, and The Simpsons are just a couple of examples. “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” was written for the popular 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Grandparents and grandkids alike can bond over Bacharach! We’ve compiled an extensive list of links from around the web and across generations. This speaks to how omnipresent Bacharach is in our culture. ’cause there is always something there to remind me.Think you don’t know Bacharach’s music? Think again.īoth Steven Hoggett and Kyle Riabko talk about their introduction to Burt Bacharach as a kind of “received wisdom” or “osmosis” – not necessarily pointing to one moment in which they became aware of the music catalogue – it’s just always been there.

I was born to love her, and I’ll never be free Just go back to the places where we used to go, and I’ll be there If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share. I was born to love her, and I’ll never be free. When there is always something there to remind me.Īs shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night.Īnd I can’t help recalling how it how it felt to kiss and hold you tight I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,Īnd every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be. This song, in this form, is just perfect.Īs for Naked Eyes… the surviving member is still recording under that name and has an album due out next year (the band’s second album of new material since 1984). Fascinating.īut damn it if that’s not a formula for success. So once upon a time, all you needed to do in order to enjoy a fair amount of fame and fortune was dig up a 20-year old pop song, give it a synth-and-drum makeover and pair it up with a cheesy video. Today’s SOTD sounds a lot different sung by Dionne Warwick, let me tell you. Similarly, I never knew that Naked Eyes’ major hit ‘Always Something There to Remind Me,’ was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. No wonder Soft Cell didn’t go on to greater things… they weren’t even responsible for the one hit they did have! Soft Cell’s ‘Tainted Love,’ for example, was first recorded as a B-side by Gloria Jones in 1965. Recently I realized that at least a few of the one-hit wonders I’ve always assumed were original composition were in fact covers of old pop standards. I’ve always wondered why one-hit wonders, if they’re capable of writing and recording a song worthy of hit status, aren’t able to keep it up? Do some bands really just have one good song in them? That doesn’t make sense.
