Is this the movie that ends with the song, "What the World Needs Now (Is Love, Sweet Love)? I love that song. Who sung it?

[–] WarpedRecord 18 years ago

Dionne Warwick covered the tune quite well, but Jackie DeShannon's is the version that appears in the movie. It's on the IMDb soundtrack listing:

Wrong. LOL!

Burt Bacharach composed the music; Hal David wrote the lyrics.

Bacharach and David worked a lot with Warwick, and Warwick did cover the song, but Jackie DeShannon's version was one of the iconic '60s recordings.
DeShannon did another popular song in the '60s called "Put a Little Love in Your Heart"

Honour thy parents. They were hip to the groove too once you know.

It got me thinking, "what the movie needs now is a better ending."

That was just goofy.
