Actress Barbara Parkins, who starred in the motion picture, suggested that Warwick be considered to sing the films theme song. The song was to be given to Judy Garland, who had been fired from the film. Warwick performed the song, and when the film became a success in the early weeks of 1968, her single of the film theme became a million-seller, peaking at #2 for four weeks on theBillboard Hot 100 in early 1968, #2 on the CashBox chart and #1 on the Record World chart. The tune was the B-side of another million selling tune composed for Warwick by Burt Bacharach and Hal David entitled I Say a Little Prayer, which hit the Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 in November 1967. The single would become one of the biggest double-sided hits of the rock era.
