How a well-loved pop song from the 1960s became almost too tricky to sing
Didn't Jack Jones have his own TV show in the seventies? I'm sure my mum had one of his LPs.
I used to have a Dionne Warwick compilation with Wives and Lovers on it. Oooh those lyrics 😆
I love that song. I always hear it in a very tongue in cheek way although at the time it probably wasn’t.
Clearly there was plenty that was revolting….
A lovely piece of writing about a now very dated piece of writing. Bacharach abd David's stuff was superb though wasn't it.
I would love to read your thoughts on "Honey" made popular by Bobby Goldsborough. Not a Bacharach/David number - but of the same era.
When I was a kid my father had two Beatles albums, Rubber Soul & Revolver, so they were and are favourites of mine. Recently I actually really *listened* to the words to Run For Your Life - a very catchy tune but... yikes.
I'm a big fan of Josephine Tey.
