Where it came from
Released in 1970 on the Scepter Records label, this single features two tracks written and produced by the iconic songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The A-side, 'The Green Grass Starts to Grow,' serves as a hallmark of the sophisticated pop-soul sound that defined Warwick’s collaboration with the duo, characterized by complex arrangements and evocative, melancholic lyricism.
The single emerged during a period of transition for Warwick as she moved toward the early 1970s. The pairing of these two tracks highlights the signature Bacharach-David style, which often utilized unusual time signatures and lush orchestration to support Warwick’s precise, understated vocal delivery. Critically, the record is noted for its high production values, though it arrived at a time when the broader music industry was shifting toward more experimental rock and folk influences.
