"What The World Needs Now Is Love" #7 7/24/1965

A Bacharach/David hit that was originally offered to, and turned down by, Dionne Warwick. Jackie DeShannon wrote songs for the Searchers and Marianne Faithfull among others, plus she co-wrote "Bette Davis Eyes" - Jackie's demo contained an odd beer barrel polka sort of piano part. Today's tune was forever immortalized in the first Austin Powers movie. Groovy, baby.
