say a little prayer for you time signature
"I Say a Little Prayer" b / w "(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls", became one of the most successful double-sided hits of the Rock era. Like several Bacharach compositions, both sides contain passages written in unusual time signatures. The verses of "Prayer" are constructed of 2 successive measures of 4 / 4, a measure of 10 / 4 (using 4 / 4 + 2 / 4 + 4 / 4), and 2 final measures of 4 / 4. The chorus is in 11 / 4 (using 4 / 4 + 3 / 4 + 4 / 4), played by session drummer Gary Chester.
