They don’t have the Dionne Warwick version of this up anymore. Steve Simels is right. One of the best pure music songs to crawl its way out of the sixties, and now there seems to be a conspiracy to relegate it to its minor performers. I love Cilla Black sometimes (Anyone who had a heart) but she’s a parallel creep with Dionne, isn’t she?
Another look at Cilla, and it’s a little mixed. But in this case I think she got screwed by her arrangers:
Especially at the end. It’s tone deaf.
Yes, I love Cilla Black too, But don’t forget, Cilla had a number one with this song, I think she does a great job of it.
Irene: The studio version sounds to me like there’s a chamber orchestra, and they just fade it off in the end. They probably would have had trouble doing that for this TV show. She’s a lot better than her band here.
Looking at that grainy footage reminds me I’m getting way old. It’s probably the time most guys buy a sportscar.
