For the First Time.

About For the First Time

For the First Time is the second album by Stephanie Mills. Released in 1975 on the Motown label. Produced by Burt Bacharach and Hal David; directed by Phil Ramone. The arrangements were by Burt Bacharach, Bill Eaton, Dave Matthews and Kenny Asher. After a fallout during the recording of the soundtrack to the remake of Lost Horizon, Bacharach and David split before briefly reuniting for this album. After this album project that featured eight new songs plus two covers of songs that Dionne Warwick had previously recorded, the famous songwriting duo would not work together until they wrote three unrecorded songs in 1978. They then did not write together again until a reunion in 1989, when they wrote two songs - "How Can I Love You" which remains unrecorded, and "Sunny Weather Lover" which was eventually recorded by Dionne Warwick for her 1993 album Friends Can Be Lovers.
