Dionne Warwick Hospitalized - one week before Bobbi Kristina — Page 2

"She also needs to stop taking credit for "What The World Needs Now Is Love"...that song was recorded first and will always "belong" to Miss Jackie De Shannon."

I actually see her point on this (though she needs to move on.) The original demo that was offered to Warwick did sound vastly different--much more like the country stuff Bacharach and David were doing for male vocalists at the time. She turned it down and then they used the Bacharach/David/Warwick formula when they made it with DeShannon.

Well it was only a few years later that she dropped Bacharach/David and sued them...

I believe because she was waiting for material for an album and this was when David/Bacharach were fighting and not writing together.

Funny, I always associate What The World Needs Now with late 1960s Bacharach--but you're right. It was exactly ten...
