Where it came from
Released in 1970 on Scepter Records, this single features two compositions written and produced by the iconic team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The A-side, 'The Green Grass Starts to Grow,' reflects the sophisticated, orchestral pop sound that defined Warwick’s tenure with the duo, characterized by complex melodic structures and intimate vocal arrangements. It arrived during a period of transition for both the artist and the songwriting team, as they navigated the changing landscape of popular music at the turn of the decade.
The B-side, 'They Don't Give Medals to Yesterday's Heroes,' showcases the emotional nuance and narrative-driven lyricism central to the Bacharach-David catalog. While the single did not reach the commercial heights of Warwick’s mid-sixties output, it is regarded by enthusiasts of the Scepter era as a representative artifact of the meticulous studio craftsmanship that defined the label's aesthetic. The design and production aimed to maintain a polished, timeless sound that highlighted Warwick's vocal precision against lush, layered instrumentation.
