Back in 1968 the love of my life (Kathy) would walk into a crowded den, in her mom's Whittier, California home, and scream for all the people at the party to "be quiet" when she would play this recording. I always knew it was special, significant in her young life (she was 20, I was 21) but for 43 years, until tonight, I never read the lyrics. The following year ('69) I was drafted and went off to Vietnam and we were never, again, together. Sitting here, now, the heart travels back in time.

Found this song through the movie Fight Club :D

There's nothing quite like a song that so beautifully frames a slice of the human experience and simply asks questions whose answers are likely to complex for us to even comprehend...and at the same time send us floating on our own memories and experience while touching us deeply and making us FEEL. Beautiful lyrics delivered by a haunting and beautiful voice. Thanks for posting this classic!

I was about 7 years old when this movie and song came out. Funny the innocence and imagination of youth--I couldn't figure out why the adults in the neighborhood were always talking about a movie which, as far as I could tell, was about a pleasant place populated by lots of dolls. A year later I couldn't figure out why my parents refused to let me see the latest "Western" hit in the theaters--Midnight Cowboy. Like I said, the innocence and imagination of youth!

loved barbara parkins in this film as well as the song.

This is the moment when Dionne was recognized as more than a crossover pop artist - but a megastar, having sung a movie theme - and what a movie.

@MrRonnieG : Try to find her. Who knows?

One of the lost Dionne Warwick Classics. Beautiful and sad.

Breaks my heart, this song. Someone years ago, a very misunderstood and troubled man, this song meant a great deal to him. He ended up a tragedy, and to this day he never knew who he was.

You can't get any better than Dionne Warwicke, no way.

Lovely story...I wonder how it ends. I too listened to this song in 1968, but at age 54 today wonder why I sang it at all back then at age 11, except that Dionne Warwick had a beautiful voice. Today, I listen contently because I am living it...though if it were recorded today for the first time, I don't believe it would move me so...I believe the combination of yester year's honesty and purety and today's stressors leave me mesmerized.
