As great of an artist as Elvis was, this song was best sung by the ever soulful Chuck Jackson. (Except for Burt's wonderful piano accompaniment, this version simply falls short.)
@aammirr so Bacharach chooses to play alongside musicians who can't play his songs and uninspired vocalists....I don't think so.Wash your ears out and take another listen.
This song is here because it was written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard back in 1962. Bacharach is doing it here because he co wrote it. There have been several really great version of the tune, and why not? Just another Great hit Bacharach helped write.
Seems Burt wrote this song I found out on google. However I still stand by what I commented months earlier. Milsaps version seems to of been the most popular version that crossed the charts with this hit. So now I learned something I didnt know.
no disrespect taken but lets be totally honest and say that the people in the know knew about this beautiful song 20 years before ronnie milsap even sang it .........it belongs to chuck jackson today and always and the only version that comes anywhere near is one by soulfulstrut .......a man with a few videos on you tube and a truly outstanding voice .........he may not be known commercially but his acoustic version leaves ronnie milsaps way behind..
No disrespects to anyone who wrote or first sang this song. But lets be real here for a second. Ronnie Milsaps version was the one that really launched this song on the pop charts and air time in the mid 80's.
John Pagano is AMAZING - he's the best kept secret in the music industry. His "Pure Imagination" CD is my favorite recording of the year. What a voice!
Saw John ( and of course Burt!) in Malaga last month. Burt was Fantastic, but John Pagano's voice has to be heard to be believed. This video, although very good, doesnt do him any justice So pure and effortless. When he sang Any Day Now last month it brought tears to my eyes. Bliss!
Great voice singing Great music! Long Live burt and long may John join him on tour
Thanks for posting...I've been looking for this for a while. I just love watching the look on Burt Bacharach's face...he plays his songs tirelessly time after time...as if it's his dream becoming reality for the very first time.
The best version of this song, Any day now is by Ronnie Milsap.
Listen to his version on here.

Great voice!Take a listen to his Pure Imagination CD- it's John Pagano's interpretation of the Great American Songbook.
