About Anyone Who Had a Heart

"Anyone Who Had a Heart" is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) for Dionne Warwick in 1963. In January 1964, Warwick's original recording hit the Top Ten in the United States, Canada, Spain, Netherlands, South Africa, Belgium and Australia. In the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and New Zealand, Warwick's recording lost out to a cover version by Cilla Black. Black's version was a UK number-one hit for three weeks in February/March 1964 and was also the fourth best-selling single of 1964 in the UK, with sales of around 950,000 copies. Petula Clark also recorded "Anyone Who Had a Heart" in several foreign language versions for the international market. Clark reached no. 7 in France with "Ceux Qui Ont Un Coeur" in the spring of 1964, then no. 5 in Italy with "Quelli che hanno un cuore"1 that September. In October 1964, Clark reached no. 1 in Spain - for a two-week period - with "Tú no tienes corazón". more »
