The back cover of the original album listed the song "Taking a Chance on Love" (writers: Vernon Duke/ John La Touche and Ted Fetter), introduced in the all-black 1940 Broadway musical Cabin In The Sky, which was not actually cut on the LP. Bacharach had an especial dislike for the last-named track having been unable to obtain the desired results instead finding the arrangement rushed despite doing ten takes-typically the tracks Bacharach recorded with Warwick required at most three takes often requiring only one-and it was Scepter Records owner Florence Greenberg rather than Bacharach who got "I Say a Little Prayer" released on the album The Windows of the World.Īpart from " Love"-Warwick's recording of this 1965 Bert Kaempfert/ Milt Gabler composition is of uncertain origination date-the outside material on The Windows of the World comprises three tracks cut for Warwick's preceding On Stage and in the Movies album which were omitted from the last-named album's finalized track listing: "What's Good About Goodbye", a Leo Robin/ Harold Arlen composition introduced in the 1948 film Casbah " Somewhere" composed by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein for the stage musical West Side Story and "You're Gonna Hear From Me" (writers: Dory Previn/ André Previn) a song introduced in the film Inside Daisy Clover (1965). The other two album tracks from the 9 April 1966 session were the B-side of the single "The Windows of the World" entitled "Walk Little Dolly" and a track released for the first time on the album The Windows of the World entitled " I Say a Little Prayer". The album featured four other recordings of Burt Bacharach/ Hal David compositions, these four tracks all originating in a 9 April 1966 session and thus predating Warwick's December 1966 album release Here Where There is Love and being omitted from it two of these four tracks had appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 the first being the December 1966 single release "Another Night" (#49) and the second "The Beginning of Loneliness" (#79) released March 1967 as the original A-side of " Alfie".
