Wives and Lovers

5/14/20 - ‘Wives and Lovers’ - Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David This song peaked at number fourteen on the Hot 100 and number nine on the Easy Listening chart, so by Bacharach/David standards, it wasn’t a huge hit, but it’s a terrific song, especially played instrumentally. Much of what Bacharach and David wrote holds up as timeless sentiments. And then there was “Wives and Lovers,” written for and sung by Jack Jones to promote the 1963 movie of the same title. It won the singer a Grammy, despite the concept of instructing housewives on how to please their man, to stay attractive and attentive to their husbands ("wives should always be lovers, too") , and to avoid their husbands straying with "girls at the office". “Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you - I’m warning you” is now hilariously dated, and several years ago, Huffington Post even proposed that it “could be one of the most offensive songs, ever.” The song originated when Bacharach and David were asked to write a song with the title "Wives and Lovers", on the theme of marital infidelity, as a promotional tie-in for the 1963 film Wives and Lovers. The song did not appear in the film but was intended simply to promote the film; which made it what was known at the time as an "exploitation song". Similarly, the song "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," which Bacharach and David wrote in 1962 and Gene Pitney recorded, promoted, but was not featured in, the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. “That was the mode of human behavior at the time,” Bacharach says of this song. “As a matter of fact, I was just playing in Seattle, we played a jazz club for four nights, and we were doing it as part of songs from movies. I just laughed and said, ‘Can you believe this lyric? I mean, could we get away with this lyric now?’ Everybody laughed because it’s sooo off-center. People laughed, and some said, ‘But I Iove this song.’ And I do love it, melodically, but the lyric is from another time. That doesn’t mean I stop playing it when I do movie songs.” HAMMOND B3 Organ: Ed Alstrom BASS: pedals, baby! DRUMS: Yamaha keyboard www.edalstrom.com
