abstract
| - %22Message to Michael%22 is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, that has been a hit for several different artists under several different titles. The song was first recorded as %22Message to Martha%22 by Jerry Butler in 1962. In 1964, singer Lou Johnson had a minor US hit with the song, with the title %22Kentucky Bluebird%22. UK singer Adam Faith also recorded the song as %22Kentucky Bluebird%22 in 1965, and had a substantial hit with it in the UK, reaching #12. Exactly the same recording was issued in Australia as %22Message to Martha%22, where it was a #15 hit for Faith. Americans are probably most familiar with the 1966 Top Ten version by Dionne Warwick, which was titled %22Message To Michael%22. In all versions of the song, the lyrics are addressed to a bluebird by the singer. The singer is in Kentucky, and his/her sweetheart is vainly pursuing musical stardom in New Orleans. The singer asks the bluebird to take a message to Martha/Michael, asking for the sweetheart to return.
