“Promises, Promises” #19 12/7/1968

The title song from the Broadway musical, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and performed splendidly as usual by Dionne Warwick. The timing jumps all over the place, from 3/4 to 2/4 to 4/4 all before the first word is sung (I had to look at the sheet music). Another tune from the show soon became a huge hit for Dionne. Insanely difficult to sing, but Dionne handled it like a true pro.
