I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER is a song written in 1966 by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for vocalist Dionne Warwick. Like several Bacharach compositions, the song contains brief measures that change time signatures, which helps give the tune a unique syncopation that is a signature of his writing. This iconic song has been covered by many vocalists and instrumentalists from George Benson to Dobro master Jerry Douglas. It lays out well for electric lap steel in C6th tuning.
