Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote this for the Broadway musical Promises, Promises, Neil Simon’s musical adaptation of Billy Wilder’s screenplay The Apartment. Bacharach and David had added this song to the musical at the last minute at a time when Burt had the flu, which explains Hal David’s little joke of rhyming “Pneumonia” with “Phone ya.”
Several recordings of the song were released in 1969, the most popular of which was by Dionne Warwick, who took it to number six on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100. Another best-selling version was by Bobbie Gentry, who topped the UK chart, which I listened to tonight and did not care for at all.
