Spot on Yonmon Dionne Warwick was the first
The song "Wishin' and Hopin'," by Hal David and Burt Bacharach, was first recorded by Dionne Warwick in the spring of 1963. It was on the "B"-side of her single "This Empty Place" (two songs were recorded on a 45, one on each side, and the expected hit always went on the "A" side). But it did not become a top ten hit in the US until Dusty Springfield recorded it in 1964.
