"Anyone Who Had a Heart" (1964) - With Ms. Warwick’s sweet tempo and the cadence of the chords, the song reached the pop and R&B Top 10, the Top 5 of the easy listening charts and was also her first record to reach the charts in the U.K.(Photo: Mark Venema/Getty Images)
"Walk on By” (1964) - A springtime hit, the pop and R&B Top 10 song also sat in the Top 5 of the easy listening and U.K. charts.
