“What the World Needs Now Is Love” is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. It was first recorded, and made popular by Jackie DeShannon. It was released on April 15, 1965 on the Imperial label after a release on Liberty records the previous month was canceled. The song reached number 7 in the US charts May of that year.
It has been recorded by over a hundred artists, notably Dionne Warwick, Wynonna Judd, The Carpenters, Diana Ross & The Supremes, McCoy Tyner, Barry Manilow, Ed Ames and Luther Vandross. It even made the country charts by a little known singer/songwriter, Ron Shaw, on the Pacific Challenger label in the late 1970s. American jazz musician Steve Tyrell performed his version of the song on The Tonight Show on July 7th 2008.
It was a top 5 song in American Idol season 2 in 2003.
In addition to the DeShannon hit recording and the numerous cover versions, “What the World Needs Now is Love” served as the basis for a distinctive 1971 remix.
Disc jockey Tom Clay was working at radio station KGBS in Los Angeles, California when he created the single “What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John”, a social commentary that became a surprise hit record that summer.[1]
The song begins with a man asking a young boy to define such words as bigotry, segregation and hatred (to which the boy says he doesn’t know); he says that prejudice is “when someone’s sick.” Following that is a soundbite of a drill sergeant leading a platoon into training, along with gunfire sound effects, after which are snippets of the two songs — both as recorded by The Blackberries, a session recording group[2]. Interspersed are excerpts of speeches by John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and soundbites of news coverage of each one’s assassination. The ending of the song is a reprisal of the introduction.
“What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John” rose to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1971, and was Clay’s only Top 40 hit.
“What the World Needs Now is Love” has been used in many film soundtracks, notably Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and For the Love of Fred (used as the film’s closing theme song in both), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, My Best Friend’s Wedding and Forrest Gump.
The first few notes of the song has also been used as a toteboard cue for the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.
A shortened version of the title is used in a biography of Burt Bacharach and Hal David by Robin Platts.
Jessica Mauboy sang “What The World Needs Now Is Love” on Australian Idol in 2007. Barry Manilow covered this song on his 2006 album The Greatest Songs of the Sixties. Andrea Ross covered this song as “What The World Needs Now” on her 2007 album Moon River. Ed Ames covered this song on his 1967 album Time, Time. Alec Baldwin sang a part of the song in the episode Somebody to Love of NBC’s 30 Rock while playing a piano, as his soon to be lover CC walked down the stairs at the party which they met.
The lirics are :\
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don’t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

Phil Stacey, Jordin Sparks, LaKisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson and Melinda Doolittle in a breathtaking part of the competition where they fight for the Final 4. They took the music of Bon Jovi and in my opinion, this is one of the best AMERICAN IDOL episodes of all times….

With the summer tour nearing its final stretch, we thought it was high time to speak with the Season 7 winner himself, David Cook. In the midst of touring so many cities and doing so many performances, David is also recording a new album. We wanted to know what challenges he faced with such a busy schedule and what impressed him most about his newfound celebrity. We caught up this month while he and the other Idols were making their way across the East Coast.
“Both the tour and the record are going really well, we’re actually ahead of schedule on the record. And we’re now on the home stretch of the tour,” David reported. Touring holds special appeal for him because “getting immediate reaction from such a large crowd is huge. A lot of the people who come to the tour are obviously fans of the show. They know these songs and they’re able to sing along. It’s just a really celebratory vibe for all of us.”
But what about stage fright? Sure, there were tens of millions of people watching on Idol, but the studio audience was small compared to the 11,000 who come to tour shows. “It’s a weird psychology,” David explained, “I get nervous when I have to play in front of small crowds more than big crowds. I think with less people, you can feel the eyes burning a hole through you more.”
David was too polite to say which city had been his favorite to perform in to date, rather quipping that he appreciated Portland “because there’s no sales tax.” But he did share special praise for the Newark crowd. “They sang all the songs back to me… It was a really special vibe.”
Coming as no surprise to anyone who’s been on the road, the most challenging aspect of touring for David is “just getting comfortable.” David likes to joke that “for the first time in my life, I’m homeless. I don’t have a home base. You get in the vibe that the bus is home.” And so what happens after September 13, when tour comes to an end? “I’ll have to find a new place to live again, I guess.”
Despite all the challenges of performing in different cities all the time, progress on his new album is excellent, due in part to the fine rapport that exists between David and record producer Rob Cavallo. “It’s just a really organic relationship and to have him on board is obviously huge… I know Rob can do what I need to do on this record.” The yet unnamed album is expected out in November.
Many MyIdol users here on americanidol.com have expressed interest in the well-being of David’s brother, Adam, and so we asked David about this phenomenon. David told us that “A group of [his] fans had started raising money for the American Cancer Society with a goal of $10,000 and they exceeded it in 38 days which is massive!” This type of activity is the “best gift”, according to David. “It’s the stuff fans do for other people that I think is the coolest thing in the world.”
We can’t wait to hear more from David down the road and to hear his new album when it comes out in just a few months. Meanwhile, it’s great to look back at David’s Transformation Gallery!
Justin Guarini became well-known as 1st runner-up to Kelly Clarkson on the debut season of American Idol. Justin charmed everyone with his soulful voice, beautiful smile and that big head of curly hair.
Continuing his special relationship with Idol, Justin signed with the TV Guide Network in 2007 as co-host of “Idol Tonight,” an exclusive live pre-show and red-carpet event preceding each episode of Idol. One of Justin’s co-hosts on the program just happens to be none other than Season Two Finalist Kimberly Caldwell. Justin also serves as co-host of “Idol Wrap,” a fast-paced re-cap of each episode of Idol.
Justin is currently recording his third album, and he has emerged as a leading advocate of music education. A national spokesperson for Support Music Education since 2004, Justin and a select delegation met with Congress in 2005 to discuss music in schools and later performed/emceed at a private gala concert for Congress, their families and staff. In 2006, he received the NAMM “Music for Life” Award for his work supporting music education. Justin also raises money for charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Broadway’s Kitchen Sink, Foundation for Global Harmony, Children’s World Organization, and various children’s hospitals nationwide.
americanidol.com congratulates Justin on all of his success and wishes him a very happy birthday!
Justin recently traveled with Brandon Rogers, Gina Glocksen and Nadia Turner to Afghanistan to entertain the troops. Visit our exclusive gallery!
