<P> The track went unreleased until September 1967 when it was introduced on the album The Windows of the World and it was Scepter Records owner Florence Greenberg rather than Bacharach who wanted "I Say a Little Prayer" added to that album . When disc jockeys from the United States began playing the album track in October 1967, significant air play led Scepter Records to release the track as a single backed with newly recorded track "(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls". </P> <P> The brisk sound of "I Say a Little Prayer" which Bacharach disliked proved to be a million - selling hit for Warwick as "I Say a Little Prayer" reached #4 that December on the Billboard Hot 100 and also #8 on the Billboard R & B Chart and #4 on the Canadian Charts . "(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls", the B - side would become another hit for Warwick reaching #2 in February 1968 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Record World Chart: Warwick's "I Say a Little Prayer" single would receive gold certification from the RIAA for sales of a million units in January 1968 . </P> <P> "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 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "I Say a Little Prayer" </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Single by Aretha Franklin </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> from the album Aretha Now </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> A-side </Th> <Td> "The House That Jack Built" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> July 1968 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Format </Th> <Td> 7" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Genre </Th> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Soul </Li> <Li> R&B </Li> <Li> gospel </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Length </Th> <Td> 3: 30 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Label </Th> <Td> Atlantic 2546 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Songwriter (s) </Th> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Burt Bacharach </Li> <Li> Hal David </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Jerry Wexler </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Aretha Franklin singles chronology </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "Think" (1968) </Td> <Td> "I Say a Little Prayer" (1968) </Td> <Td> "See Saw" (1968) </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
