Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will

♪♫ Sandie Shaw - Always Something There To Remind Me (1964)

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.
