Theme from Valley of the Dolls
Various Artists Lyrics

Love the song 12-30-2021

@geraldscalajr9636

Yes sir

@MJLOVEnow

I remember being 16 years old and driving to pick up my dad’s best suit at the cleaners for his funeral that was inevitable, we knew he had just a few days to live, when this song came on the radio, and being overwhelmed with grief for this unbelievable loss for me, a total Daddy’s Girl, and our family. This song still embodies all those emotions for me, and to this day gives me the opportunity to continue to purge that grief whenever I hear it. So beautiful and poignant, this song is a masterpiece at capturing the moments in life when one finds themselves at a loss for whatever reason, and Dionne’s voice so beautifully expresses those feelings. 🙏💖

Burt Bacharach could certainly compose some beautiful music. As a child living during the 1960s I enjoyed listening to this hauntingly beautiful song. I still enjoy listening in 2020 at age 60.

@ladamyre1

I'm 62 and it is haunting, gives me the blues a bit, partly because of Sharon Tate and the evil that was done to her and her baby not long after the movie came out, partly because those were the days when we could skin our knee and just stop by the next house, and whoever's mom was there would patch us up and send us on our way.

@clockendfarm6425

They did, but this isn't one of them. It was written by Andre Previn (music) and his then wife, multiple Grammy winner Dory Previn (lyrics), and was originally intended for Judy Garland. The gorgeous arrangement is by Patrick Williams. The late Dory Previn, may her memory be a blessing, was a superb songwriter in her own right, and worth a check out. All Burt Bacharach has to do with it is that this was the B side to "I Say A Little Prayer", which he did write. Of course this became a hit as well, making it what we used to call a "double A-side" single. I'm a huge Dory Previn fan and want to be sure she gets her due credit for this wonderful song.

Bacharach did not write this song. It was composed by ANDRE PREVIN.

I was in Junior High in 1968 when this movie was in theaters ( yes , it came out in December 67) and even though I was a huge fan of Cream, Hendrix, the Who, this song was and still is an arrow to my heart...I think it captures ( in its mood, its orchestration, in Warwicks vocal performance) MORE of what the movie was trying to say than the movie itself! Don't we all know someone who had beauty and some talent who went to try their luck in Hollywood? even if they weren't your best friend, weren't you rooting for their dream to come true? and if it didn't happen, werer't you glad they survived? When this song plays at the end, when Anne is on the train back home after almost drowning while high, Man, This song just tears me to pieces every time!

My memories of sitting around the tv with my mom and dad watching Valley of the Dolls. A place in time when we were family enjoying being together something that i did with my child.
Today if feel what bond with the family has passed with everyone so self absorbed in themselves i feel a sense of loss for them. I was eating out with friends our rule is no phones at the table phones stay in the cars works out rather well.

No, you're right, it doesn't. Nothing like it today, and I enjoy all pop music including the heaviest, wildest music out there. There is no variety today like there was in the '60s and early '70s. Back then you heard a tune from James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and the Carpenters in a row on the same radio station (and I loved every one of them). What this country needs now are radio stations like those of 45+ years ago. Might even help unite the USA.

My Mom LOVED Dionne Warwick. My whole childhood was filled with music, thanks to Mom and our console stereo. This past November, Mom was dying in hospice. She was floating from this world to the next. For hours she chased angels with her eyes around the room. She was completely incoherent one moment, then she was back, then she was gone again. I decided to listen to Dionne while I held her hand. Then, this song came on the shuffle. I had heard this song a thousand times, but never heard it like I did in that room, holding Mom’s hand trying to find the words to thank her for my life. Sometimes words just aren’t enough, and so God gave us Dionne.

As a child, this song and the movie consumed me by the sadness and despair. As a child, NYC was depicted as a ruthless and cut-throat city where the toughest survive. 50 years forward, life is tough but one cannot quit or surrender to the mob. In my 30s, I was in NYC on business and early one cold winter morning, I saw a very frail woman in her 80s with a hand cart walking to the store. I thought to myself, “Did she ever think this is how she would end-up?”

A very surreal movie with adult themes.

Next to the Yellowstone theme, I agree!

@liammadden4383

This song is brilliant, it was written by Andre and dory Previn. I think Dory deserved an Oscar for her beautiful mysterious lyrics. Enough said!

I remember this from 9 years old and I will never forget it ❤

@jillmorton5749

Me neither and that was really young I don't know what it was but I know it had something to do with that addiction

One of those perfect songs that never gets old...

You are correct sir or madam.

@jamescarter5042

This song still sound great in 2019

@matildadhumxoxo5801

And yet I don't get to hear it too often. I have to look here on youtube for it. But it is worth it because it is always here.

@MrNathan791

I agree. It just gets better with time. I love this song so much; and that era of music and fashion was so amazing. Although I was a child in the 60’s that era is still so magical.

Her songs are all timeless.

@Wisegirl4u

Epic song! No one sings it better than Dionne Warwick. Wow!❤️

@EricCVoice

So lovely and this song brings back some good memories from a childhood full of both good and very bad. I am 62 and here to make some kind of difference and so are you folks!

@jamessullivan6583

Fell in love with her after hearing this for the first time. This lady can sing any song and send it to the top of the music charts.

@claudiashim8345

This song reminds me of my mom. She loved Dionne Warwick. Never missed a concert when she performed in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Such good memories; warms my heart ❤️
Thank you Ms.Warwick .

God.....music was so beautiful back than !!!!

Charlie Sochko: then, not than.

@TallulahBelle3276

Charlie Sochko yes! It gives me a body high when I listen to it. I get all bubbly inside that I can type it up in search and listen to such fabulous music anytime I want to. My son showed me that I can even make my own playlist of everything I want to hear. He gets a kick outta my reaction to these modern conveniences we have today. I feel like I won a prize! Music is magical and I can take myself from a bad mood to a good mood in one song. 🌞🌀✨💝🎼🎁👍🏼👏🏼
Life is good!

Does music do that to you? I use it therapeutically and find it very effective.

@louiscaruso4167

@@TallulahBelle3276 Very much so...It brings back memories, some good and not so good...I have an Amazon Echo and I tell Alexa to play the music I love. Music is a staple in my life...wishing you all that's good.

@joehodges8459

I really love this song. It's so hautingly beautiful. Dionne Warwick is a very classy lady. What a great legacy of excellent performances and songs she has. I'm telling you there's no better era of music this world has ever heard like the 60's -80's.
