Hindi pa kasi ako pinapanganak nun.
saltuhin,
yes, ms. warwick was the original artist of those bacharach/david classics.
some consider this triumvirate the golden age of bacharch/david/warwick when these three artists complimented each other so well- a great vocalist, a fantastic lyricist and of course the musical genius that bacharach was. in the process they made each other famous.
unfortunately, there was a falling out some years later between warwick and bacharach/david.
and although they still continued with moderate success, they did not have the impact they collectively imparted during their golden age.
take a peek and listen to why this is so:
