Critical acclaim

Is there any means of conveying in this article the critical acclaim that this song has achieved? For many, myself included, this is the perfect romantic pop song, unsurpassed since publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegn (talkcontribs) 22:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Walker

He's not mentioned among the versions of this song. Here's the audio recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFBve-KxZrE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.196.29.149 (talk) 20:08, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carmen McRae version

Carmen McRae also did an amazing version of this song. I don't know which album it is, but I heard her perform live once and it was spectacular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.115.201.89 (talk) 14:17, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Best Song' Oscar nomination

The line "Springfield received an Oscar nomination for her film version," is incorrect. The Best Song award goes to the songwriters --in this case, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It does not go to a performer and it isn't for a specific "version" of the song. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Song I've deleted this language.

Well, the songwriters did win the nomination, so it should be in the body of the article. I have put it back and rephrased it. (I cannot believe it lost to Talk to the Animals in "Doctor Dolittle") Richard-of-Earth (talk) 22:08, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dionne Warwick

In my mind hers is the definitive version, yet it's not mentioned in this article. Unhandyandy (talk) 15:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to find the song as sung by Warwick. I was not able to find a citation that her rendition is culturally significant. See WP:CULTURALREFS and WP:SONGCOVER. Can you provide such a citation? Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
