I Say a Little Prayer è una canzone scritta dai compositori Burt Bacharach e Hal David per la cantante Dionne Warwick nel 1967. Spesso viene erroneamente citata come I Say a Little Prayer for You, aggiungendo le altre due parole del ritornello.

Descrizione

Il brano fu il secondo singolo della Warwick ad essere estratto dall'album The Windows Of The World, subito dopo la pubblicazione in disco singolo della title track del disco. Il singolo raggiunse la quarta posizione della Billboard Hot 100 nel dicembre 1967 e fu certificata disco di platino dalla RIAA. La canzone è ancora oggi considerata una delle più importanti nella carriera della Warwick. Anche il "lato B" del singolo era (Theme from) Valley of the Dolls fu un notevole successo. Nel ricordo degli sportivi italiani il brano è fortemente legato ai Mondiali di calcio del 1970 in Messico in quanto era il brano che veniva trasmesso durante l'intervallo tra i due tempi delle partite di calcio trasmesse dalla RAI (a quei tempi non erano previsti i commenti durante la partita).
