This Burt Bacharach and Hal David song from 1964 has been covered so many times, it's hard to believe no one in 1982 noticed the Naked Eyes hit was a fresh arrangement of a two decades-old song.
Before Naked Eyes released it, it had been covered by no less than three dozen artists, including Brenda Lee (1965), Burt Bacharach (1965), The 4 Seasons (1965), Lou Christie (1966), Wayne Fontana (1966), Johnny Mathis (1967), Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles (1967), Dionne Warwick (1967), Jay & The Americans (1967), Martha Reeves & The Vandellas (1968), José Feliciano (1968), R.B. Greaves (1969), Buddy Greco (1969), Peggy Lee (1970), Carpenters (medley) (1971), The Drifters (1973), Blue Swede (1974), Carpenters (medley) (1981), and a dozen more little-known acts.
Dionne Warwick recorded a demo in 1963, but the original release in 1964 was recorded by Lou Johnson. Sandie Shaw took the song to No. 1 in the UK that same year.
