(THERE'S) ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME ~ DIONNE WARWICK

"(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" is a song written in the 1960s by songwriting team Burt Bacharach and Hal David, also known as Always Something There to Remind Me. First recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 1963, "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" first charted for Lou Johnson whose version reached #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1964. Dionne Warwick recorded "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" on 13 April 1967 in the same session which produced her Top 40 hit "The Windows of the World" and it was on the July 1967 album release The Windows of the World that the first-named track was debuted. Warwick's "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" had a belated single release in August 1968 as the intended B-side of the Top 40 hit "Who Is Gonna Love Me"; the first-named track received sufficient airplay to reach #65 on the Hot 100. "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" - as "Always Something There to Remind Me" - reached the US Top 40 for the first time in 1970 via a version by R. B. Greaves which reached #27 in February 1970; this version, recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1969 with production by Ahmet Ertegun and Jackson Howe, was also a #3 Easy Listening hit. Twenty years after its composition, "Always Something There to Remind Me" (so titled) reached the US Top Twenty for the first time via a synthpop reinvention of the song by Naked Eyes which reached the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1983.
