This Bacharach/David tune marked Dionne Warwick’s return to the Top 10 for the first time in almost two years. Hal David’s lyrics were about a woman’s concern for her guy who was off serving in Vietnam. Both sides of the 45 did rather well, as the flip (the theme from “Valley Of The Dolls”) would also chart highly in a couple of months. Aretha Franklin did a fine cover in the fall of ‘68 that also made the Top 10. This is certainly one of the few Hot 100 songs to contain a 7/4 time signature.
