“(There’s) Always Something There To Remind Me” #65 9/21/1968

A Bacharach/David song that Dionne Warwick didn’t do first. The original was by Lou Johnson, missing the Top 40 in the summer of 1964. A few months later, the barefoot Sandie Shaw had a #1 in the UK with her take that also missed the Top 40 here. Then came Ms. Warwick’s version, released only as a B-side. R.B. Greaves did the song in 1970 (#27) as the followup to “Take A Letter, Maria.” The biggest hit came from Naked Eyes in 1983, taking it to #8.
