#189 THE LOOK OF LOVE Dusty Springfield
1967 saw the release of the film 'Casino Royale'. This was a spoof revolving around the spy James Bond and is not an Eon-released film. Dusty Springfield's reading of "The Look Of Love" is 1 of its few redeeming features. 
The memorable song delivers a cool '60s feel to the film, thanks largely to the arrangement and Springfield's unique vocal style. Burt Bacharach had been asked to score the film. He composed "The Look Of Love". Lyrics were written by his regular songwriting partner at the time, Hal David. Phil Ramone handled its production.
"The Look..." was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1968 Academy Awards. It was beaten by "Talk to the Animals" from 'Doctor Dolittle'. Released as a single, the disc reached the Top 40 in the USA and Canada. In the UK, "The Look..." was the B-side for Springfield's "Give Me Time", which peaked at #24 in 1967. While the film was unspectacular, this song has proven to be timeless. 
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
