"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. It was first recorded, and made popular by Jackie DeShannon. It was released on April 15, 1965 on the Imperial label after a release on sister label Liberty records the previous month was canceled . The song reached number 7 in the US charts May of that year.

The song was originally offered to Dionne Warwick, who turned it down at the time; though she later recorded it for her album Here Where There Is Love. DeShannon's version was recorded on March 23, 1965 at New York's Bell Sound studios.
It has been recorded or performed live by over a hundred artists, including The Staple Singers, Judy Garland, Wynonna Judd, The Supremes, McCoy Tyner, Barry Manilow, Ed Ames, Steve Tyrell, Luther Vandross, Andrea Ross, and Aimee Mann. It even made the country charts by a little known singer/songwriter, Ron Shaw, on the Pacific Challenger label in the late 1970s.

  • Belo trabalho Claúdia! Nota DEZ! Obrigado por postar! Adoro essa música porque ela está na cena final do filme "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (USA - 1969 - direção de Paul Mazursky, com Natalie Wood, Robert Culp, Elliott Gould e Dyan Cannon). Essa versão da época (lá se vão mais de 40 anos! ...rsrsrs), muito bonita também, era interpretada pela cantora Jackie DeShannon. Um grande abraço!

  • concordo contigo. os grandes clássicos voltando... não desmerecendo os artistas atuais, mas convenhamos que os artistas do passado expressavam-se com muito mais seriedade. Fazer música era muito mais do que uma fábrica de dinheiro e sim realmente expressar algo interino.
