"I'll Never Autumn in Dear Again" is a pop song by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David that was written for the 1968 musical Promises, Promises. Several recordings of the song were released in 1969; the most popular versions were by Dionne Warwick (released Dec 1969), who took information technology to number vi on Billboard magazine's Hot 100[one] and spent three weeks topping the magazine's list of the most popular Easy Listening songs,[2] and Bobbie Gentry (released July 1969), who topped the Britain chart with her recording[3] and besides peaked at number 1 in Australia and Ireland,[4] number 3 in Southward Africa[five] and number 5 in Norway.[6]

Promises, Promises [edit]

In the fall of 1968, Bacharach and David were in Boston for previews of Promises, Promises, the new musical for which producer David Merrick had asked if they would write the score, and Merrick realized, "We're missing a song in the middle of the second act, and what nosotros need is something the audience tin whistle on their style out of the theater."[vii] But around this time, Bacharach was hospitalized with pneumonia and wasn't able to sit at a piano to write the music until after he was released. By that time "Hal had already come up with the lyrics to 'I'll Never Fall in Love Over again,' and my infirmary stay had inspired him to write, 'What do you become when you osculation a girl? / You become enough germs to catch pneumonia / Later on yous practice, she'll never telephone you.'"[8] When he finally sat with the lyrics in front of him, he recalls, "I wrote the melody for 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' faster than I had ever written any song in my life."[7] The surge of creativity paid off. "We came in with the vocal the next morning, and it went into the show a couple of nights later. 'I'll Never Fall in Beloved Once more' became the outstanding hit from the score and pretty much stopped the show every night."[7] Promises, Promises had its Broadway premiere on Dec 1 of that twelvemonth,[9] and the vocal was originally performed as a duet betwixt the characters played by Jill O'Hara and Jerry Orbach as they ruminate on the various troubles that falling in love brings. They recorded it for the original Broadway cast album.[10]

Chart hits [edit]

The first recording of "I'll Never Fall in Honey Again" to reach whatsoever of the charts in Billboard was by Johnny Mathis, whose cover debuted on the mag's Easy Listening chart in the event dated May 17, 1969, and reached number 35 over the grade of three weeks there.[11] Bacharach'due south own version, which was sung by a female chorus, overtook the Mathis release after a May 31 debut on that same chart and got as high as number 18 during its nine-week stay.[12] It as well peaked at number 93 on the Hot 100 during the two weeks it spent in that location in July.[xiii] Bobbie Gentry entered the United kingdom singles nautical chart with the vocal the following month, on Baronial 30, and enjoyed 1 of her xix weeks at that place at number one.[3] She besides peaked at number one in Ireland,[4] number three in South Africa,[xiv] and number five in Norway.[6]

The near successful version of the song to be released as a single in the U.s.a. was past Bacharach-David protégée Dionne Warwick, whose recording made its first appearance on the Hot 100 in the outcome dated December 27, 1969, to start an 11-week run that took information technology to number six.[i] The January iii, 1970, issue marked its beginning of 11 weeks on the magazine's Easy Listening chart, where it enjoyed three weeks at number one,[2] and a vii-week stay on their list of the 50 All-time Selling Soul Singles in the U.s. began in the next issue and included a height position at number 17.[15] Her version also spent 4 weeks at number one on the Canadian Adult Gimmicky chart[16] and reached number three on the Canadian pop chart.[17] The Dionne Warwick version is noted for Burt Bacharach playing a counterpoint melody on the piano, which is heard at the fading Coda section of the vocal.

In 1972, the Liz Anderson recording of the song peaked at number 56 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles nautical chart.[18] In 1990 the Scottish pop stone ring Deacon Blue opted for a slower system on the duet between their vocalists Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh as part of the four-song EP Iv Bacharach & David Songs. The vocal was the main radio choice for the EP, which reached number ii in the UK and became Deacon Blue's biggest hit in the UK (the EP was listed as the single rather than the vocal on UK chart).[19] [twenty] The song as well reached number two in Republic of ireland,[4] and number 72 in the Netherlands.[21]
