	Just wanted to add that this is one of my favorite 60's songs of all time. At a time when music was becoming British infused this remains one of the Burt Bacharach legendary classics. This song does not get enough praise. My recommendations: Mono 45 - The Complete 1960s Singles Plus Stereo LP - Make Way For Dionne Warwick One of the reasons I mention this is that Doja Cat Paint The Town Red has sampled the song. One of the few instances I can remember in this day and age a 60's sound is used 60 years later... Oh and for the completest check out Odds & Ends - Scepter Records Rarities from 2018 for the German and Italian sung versions. Edited by PopArchivist
