Dionne Warwick es la intérprete por excelencia de Bacharach & David, es un verdadero "marriage in heaven" como dicen los anglos. Quizás solo Dusty Springfield puede acercarse a ella en este repertorio. Suprema elegancia y distinción. Sin menospreciar a Aretha cuya versión es extraordinaria mi favorita sigue siendo la de Dionne.

Bueno, puestos a confesar preferencias personales, a mí me gusta más Dylan que la versión de Hendrix....

Esta es la opinión de Bacharach & David sobre la versión de Aretha de "su" canción:

“It’s a better record than the record we made,” Bacharach told Fresh Air host Terry Gross.

“Mmhmm. We did, yeah. And we did a great record, but she topped it,” David added.

When Gross prodded them a little more, they told her to listen to it, that you can just hear it in the effortless way Franklin sings and how the arrangement is crafted to enhance that. That Franklin sings the song as if it were a dress designed just for her.

“It’s just more natural,” Bacharach said. “We were talking about our changes and time changes on the chorus of ‘forever and forever, you stay in my heart, and I will’ — you know, that’s going 4-4, 3-4, 4-4, 3-4. Then regard the way it was treated by Aretha, because Aretha just makes it seamless, the transition going from one change to another change. You never notice it.”

Perhaps the irony is that “I Say a Little Prayer” was actually a bigger hit for Warwick, even though its creators believe Franklin made the better song. (Franklin’s version peaked at a not-too-shabby No. 10.) But if you asked me (or David and Bacharach) which one you’d want to hear live, or at a wedding, or from someone who cares about you, we know which one we’d choose.
