Dionne Warwick I Say A Little Prayer 1967 Original Million Seller 121gamers 2 Views • 11 months ago

Dionne Warwick's 1967 single I Say A Little Prayer was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and recorded at A&R Studios in Manhattan in June 1966. Engineering the recording was the legendary Phil Ramone who would later produce Billy Joel and many others. Bacharach arranged, conducts and is on piano. The tune was released as single in October 1967 after DJs all over the country started playing the album cut from the Windows of the World album. I Say A Little Prayer was certified RIAA Gold selling over 1 million copies and peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in December 1967. The flip or B side (Theme from Valley of the Dolls), sung by Warwick in the motion picture, was also a million seller and rode the #2 position for 4 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in February 1968 and hit # 1 on the Record World Chart the same month. I Say A Little Prayer/(Theme From) Valley of the Dolls is one of the most successful double sided hits of the Rock era. This is the rare unedited version in which Burt Bacharach can be heard on count off. I Say A Little Prayer was also the first RIAA certified million seller for Bacharach and David. Less than one year later, Aretha Franklin would take her cover of "I Say A Little Prayer" to the #10 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. Writes Nick Tosches, the renowned writer, music journalist, novelist, biographer and poet in the January 7, 1972 issue of the rock magazine FUSION; "...getting into Dionne Warwick is like finding buried treasure. The Bacharach/David repertoire which milady chooses to sing is so fascinatingly cynical / fatalistic / stoical / emotional / happy, simultaneously! It's pure emotion. There is a whole lot more to emotion than some rock punk bursting his dexedrine-staved blood vessels by screaming "Baby I need you baby" into a microphone. Dionne Warwick is not a rock and roll singer. She's not a jazz singer either. Rhythm and blues? Nope. A pop singer? No way. Did you ever tongue-kiss with someone who barfed a Singapore Sling bolus into your mouth, and then four years later you're with someone else and you feel good and you realize how beautiful it all was and then it's all melancholy/happiness, sort of? That's the kind of singer Dionne Warwick is. She's beautiful. Dionne, paired with Bacharach's string/horn/reed arrangements, comes up as a lyric mezzo-sopranoid par-excellence, melodious/expressiveness-wise. If you've never gotten into her, you ought to. Get hep to Dionne Warwick. For your own sake."

The Wall Street Journal has a story about the drama and background to the song. Here's the public first paragraphs - you have to subscribe for the full story:-

“Walk On By,” written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for singer Dionne Warwick in 1963, was unusual for its cool sophistication and lyrics from a woman’s perspective on a failed relationship. After the song was released in ’64, the single reached No. 6 on Billboard’s pop chart.

Recently, Mr. Bacharach, Ms. Warwick and studio pianist Artie Butler recalled the song’s evolution. Mr. Bacharach’s latest album, released in December, is a deluxe edition of “Blue Umbrella” (Big Yellow Dog), with co-writer and singer Daniel Tashian. Edited from interviews.

Burt Bacharach: "In 1963, lyricist Hal David and I were focused on Dionne Warwick. We had signed her a year earlier to record our songs, and we were signed to Scepter Records.

Dionne had a singular voice that was perfect for us—young, earthy, edgy and confident. The first three singles we wrote for her—“Don’t Make Me Over” in ’62 and “This Empty Place” and “Make the Music Play” in early ’63—charted but weren’t big pop hits.

Hal and I began writing “Walk On By” in mid-’63 at our office in New York’s Brill Building. ... "

Lyrics:

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me crying like I thought I would never be
Love is believing, but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around

And I get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter whatever you do
I made a life out of loving you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm crying in the rain
I could be searching my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
When will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Got to get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was being what you want me to be
Suddenly, everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by
This world may end
Not you and I

[Lyrics:]
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me, ah

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I, I thought I would break

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength, oh

[Verse 2]
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to light my way out of the dark
Found all that I need, here inside of me, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

[Bridge]
There were so many times I wondered
How I'd get through the night
I thought I took all that I could take

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
Oh, I didn't know my own strength
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, I hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength, mm

[Outro]
I was not built to break, no, no
I got to know my own strength
