_{Dionne Warwick, ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’ ad via Cash Box, April 1, 1972}

By early 1972 Dionne Warwick had left Scepter Records and signed with Warner Brothers. That likely makes this “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” Scepter single something of a cash in attempt. Warwick’s version of the famed Burt Bacharach/Hal David hit originally appeared on her 1970 LP I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.

Interestingly, you’ll notice Warwick’s name is misspelled as “Warwicke” at the bottom of the ad. This spelling also appears on Warwick’s late ’71 Scepter releases. Perhaps to differentiate between her Warner Brothers content or avoid contract issues. I’m really not sure but it’s all rather curious. Let’s listen in.
