It was in early 1965 that Jackie DeShannon recorded the hit song, “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”
Burt Bacharach and Hal David had co-written this musical masterpiece. The song was planted in fertile soil during a season of controversy over the Vietnam War and the escalating Civil Rights push. A year later, Dionne Warwick released her own version.
Love. For everyone. Is it really what the world needs? Certainly, there has to be more.
