"Make It Easy on Yourself" is a popular song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David which was first a hit for Jerry Butler in 1962. The best known version is the 1965 recording by the Walker Brothers for whom it was a No. 1 UK hit. Dionne Warwick, who made a demo of this song in early 1962, later had a hit with the song in 1970.

The most successful pop version of "Make It Easy on Yourself" was the 1965 single by the Walker Brothers which reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 that December;[6] this version had been a No. 1 hit in the UK in September 1965. The song appeared as the opening song on the group's début studio album Take It Easy with the Walker Brothers and as the opening song on side 2 of their début US album Introducing the Walker Brothers.

One of the most beautiful and soulful treatments of this song came in 1977 by Cissy Houston......Dionne Warrick's Aunt and Whitney's Mother. You sure can tell what side of the family Whitney's pipes came from when you listen to her Mother's rendition of this song. WOW!! You can listen to it on YT.

Keith Wallin: @bevb Thanks again, Bev! Scott Walker was a baritone as am I. It is much easier for me to cover his material than anyone singing tenor. This is another all time fave of mine and I'm glad you enjoyed my rendition of it.
