“I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” (Dionne Warwick) #6 2/7/1970

Sometimes songs written on a deadline become monster hits. Burt Bacharach and Hal David were asked to quickly write the score for a new musical, “Promises, Promises” which was headed to Broadway. However, Burt was soon laid up in the hospital with pneumonia, which inspired Hal to include a line about that illness. Johnny Mathis recorded this first; Bobbie Gentry had a #1 hit in the UK with her version. Dionne Warwick had the hit in America, though.
