People tend to forget Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote this song, but not for the 5th Dimension. They had Keely Smith in mind (Louis Prima’s singing partner back in the day), but she never recorded it. Rosemary Clooney did the tune first; producer Bones Howe revived the track for 5D. A superb showcase for the Wrecking Crew and for Marilyn McCoo in particular.
