Album of the Day

Following an album of soul covers cut with Chips Moman in Memphis, Dionne Warwick returned to the writing-production team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN. The duo penned all but three songs on the 1970 Scepter set, and Dionne’s renditions of “Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head,” “Paper Maché” and the Top 10 title track showed this hitmaking collaboration still had the magic. With touches of jazz, samba and R&B, the arrangements are as varied as they are tasteful, and Warwick’s expressive singing suits each of them perfectly. I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN was a Grammy winner for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and fans of classic pop balladry will surely fall in love with it.
