written by songwriting team
Burt Bacharach and
Hal David. First recorded as a
demo by
Dionne Warwick in 1963, "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" first charted for
Lou Johnson whose version reached #49 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1964.
British impresario Eve Taylor heard Johnson's version while on a US visit scouting for material for her recent discovery
Sandie Shaw
who resultantly covered the song for the UK market in September 1964
that same month premiering the song with a performance on the
Ready Steady Go!
pop music TV program. Shaw's "(There's) Always Something There to
Remind Me" was rush released to reach #1 on the UK charts in three
weeks, spending three weeks at #1 in November 1964 and that same month
debuting on the
Billboard Hot 100; however despite reaching the Top Ten in some markets including
Detroit and
Miami Shaw's version of "...Always Something There to Remind Me" failed to
best the national showing of the Lou Johnson original as the Hot 100
peak of Shaw's version was #52.
