  • Isn't she the most lovely and elegant lady?

  • Would you believe Dionnne Warwick used to say she hated recording this song LOL

  • "Put a hundred down and buy a car" she says....now its "Put a hundred down and buy a tank of gas". Love Dionne.

  • Kudos not only to Burt Bacharach for the tune, but Hal David for the wonderful lyrics, and of course Dionne Warwick!

    David's lyrics agile lyrics push and pull you from dark to light and back to dark:

    Fame and fortune is a magnet.

    It can pull you far away from home

    With a dream in your heart you're never alone.

    Dreams turn into dust and blow away

    And there you are without a friend

    You pack your car and ride away

    What a great trio of artists!

  • The great Bacharach.
