The Look of Love (1967 song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Look Of Love" is a popular song.

The music was written by Burt Bacharach, and indeed, it was originally intended to be an instrumental. But later Hal David added the lyrics, and the song was published in 1967.

The song was sung by Dusty Springfield in the film Casino Royale. According to Bacharach, the melody was inspired by watching Ursula Andress in an early cut of the film.

Sergio Mendes' hit rendition on the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 album Look Around, reached #4 on the pop charts after their performance in the Academy Awards telecast in March 1968. The lead vocal on this single was handled by Janis Hansen, not Lani Hall, a rarity in the early Brasil '66 canon.
