Today's extra is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and was originally released by Dionne Warwick in 1964. It's been covered numerous times, including by a soul superstar who recorded it for his debut album. It wasn't released as a single, but it's become a quiet storm staple and a concert showstopper.
