 As with Warwick's 1966 hit "Message to Michael" the non-involvement of Bacharach and David in the track (beyond writing the song) is evidenced in its producers credit reading "a Blue Jac Production", Blue Jac Productions being the name Bacharach/David and Warwick had incorporated under in 1962 (officially Blue Jac Productions rather than Warwick personally were signed to Scepter Records).Warwick's sole live track released as a single, "Make It Easy on Yourself" served as the advance single for Warwick's final album (of new material) for Scepter, the December 1970 release "Very Dionne"; the single charted that autumn with chief support from easy listening radio as indicated by its #2 peak on that format's chart making moderate crossover to Pop - at #37 the final Top 40 hit of the first phase of Warwick's career - and R&B (#26).In 1966, Cilla Black released a recording of the song on her second studio album "Cilla Sings a Rainbow" which was a Top 5 hit on the UK album chart.
