What people don't realize is that the Bacharach/David songbook are very difficult songs to sing, and at the time very few singers could sing. Dionne had the range that could handle the complex arrangements, lyrical structures and at times odd time signatures of certain songs. She's a gem and is indeed a legend during those formative years. I love her.
Robertjshearer I wish I could put it in words but I do understand what he was trying to say. She proved herself over and over as being a vocal giant but because some people just don’t like her they don’t give accolades. Kinda like Whitney vs Anita Baker.
I think people just like to use that word to make people think they have an in-depth understanding of an artist talents. This woman was /is an international star. You can’t be underrated and your music is recognized all over the world.
@Master Sphinx is Royal True because Dionne Warwick keeps her personal life so private that without her assistance, screenwriters would have to make a bunch of stuff up or rely on her colleagues who are even older than she is!
@@Pravda_Z Exactly! I still can't figure out these people's basis of the so called underrated. Some even called Gladys underrated too. Just what??? I am from generation Z and here in my country Philippines Ms. D's songs and music are so popular even these days.
I worked backstage at a number of concerts and Dionne was one of the nicest to the event staff. When one worker approached her for an autograph -a serious breech of etiquette- everyone else gave the man a dirty look. Dionne, however, reacted as if she was honored.
@@AUGUSTALLEN28 that's hilarious...did you see her on the Apprentice? 😉. Again, I really like Dionne Warwick, actually probably even love her... but a diva is a diva baby. 😊
'Hearbreaker", 'That's What Friends Are For", "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" are all so nostalgic for me. Songs of my childhood. Sigh. Thank you Dionne.
I was raised on classic 60s and 70s Rock. Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. but Dionne has always been a giant to me. Great memories of one great song after another coming out of the radio. And that voice.
What a legacy. Talent and luck can get you "started" in show business. Craft and discipline will get you moving in show business. But you gotta know your value to "survive" in show business. Dionne is a survivor. There isn't a soul on earth who is beyond criticism. However, I for one am glad that Dionne is exactly who she is. Otherwise, there might NOT be this incredible catalog of music to enjoy, and all the beautiful memories associated with it might NOT be as well.
The drinkard singer the sweet inspirations her group the gospellaires her family is a national treasure when it comes to singing from the 1950s til today
She did an open air concert near Baton Rouge, about 25 yrs ago and had a sold out performance, when she learned of the concert being sold out so quickly, she made arrangements to stay for another day and gave another sold out concert the next evening! Local radio stations put the word out of the second concert! Dionne was so appreciative! We were thankful to have the opportunity to see and hear her perform.
Hi Dionne, I'm going to be 62 in June. I've been listening to you for a long time. One of a Kind voice, but more than that a class act and a real lady. Keep doing it Dionne, even though we never met, I feel like I know you I've listened to your voice so many times. Thank you🙋♂️😘🤷♂️
My father was thrilled beyond words to see this story. He is close with Dionne, since growing up in the same neighborhood as she did. Sunday Morning, thank you.
I love Dionne's music. Her tunes are part of the American Song Book. They sound so clear even today. "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" "Heartbreaker" "Deja Vu"....wow, these song put me right into the backseat of dad's brand new 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix.😊
Shes fabulous she's got such a great voice, she and Burt Bacharach made wonderful music together still listening to all the music there's none like this team now days ,they will forever be in our hearts
@@achosenvessel6563 Same here, also puts me in a safe quiet place. Her music is timeless, Alfie, Valley Of The Dolls, The April Fool's, before Luther, A House Is Not A Home: In English, Italian and French, Shall I Tell Her, Where Is Love, Go With Love, Trains Boats And Planes, Odds And Ends, Here Where There Is Love, I Say A Little Prayer, Any Old Time Of The Day, Didn't We. And many more: This Guy's In Love. Most vocalists today came singer Burt Bacharach's complex musical compositions. Andre and Dory Previn wrote and composed Valley Of The Dolls. Her range was and Is still varied: Where she could be so delicate, and a powerhouse at a moment's notice. Has her Doctorate In Music from The Heart College Of Music. Burt Bacharach is Classically Musically trained at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. They're all highly gifted: Dionne Warwick, Hal David, Burt Bacharach, now only Dionne is left. Love also Pacific Coast Highway by Burt Bacharach, Hwy-101.
DIONNE!!! Oh how does one begin to speak of such an...epoch! This is what Dionne represents to me.... Growing up in Brownsville Brooklyn in a lovely apartment my mom made a cozy & beautifully wonderful home.... That wasn't enough! There was & had to be MUSIC to complete the picture! So we had Motown, we had Brazil 66, We had WAR, we had a bit of Philly, we had Salsa & Merengue, we had Sinatra, we had the Impressions, we even had Janis Joplin we had a LOT.. There were MANY a singers pumping through the walls at our house! And there was DIONNE! I try to put my finger on what made DIONNE the PREMIER voice in our living space.. What was it about THIS PARTICULAR female that seemed to take PRECEDENCE over most and more often that not ALL the other voices in our home of that time... TODAY may be the very FIRST TIME I have come up with a definitive answer to this pending question... I KNOW NOW why DIONNE was THE VOICE of my household above ALL others though there were runner ups ... I now understand DIONNE'S VOICE was the voice of MY MOTHER!!!!! DIONNE was what my MOTHER felt & if she were personified as MUSIC she would be like a DIONNE WARWICK SONG! DIONNE was the voice of a sophisticated woman of renown in her own right! BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY a woman of COLOR representing the DEPTH & MULTI FACETED ASPECTS of being a woman of color experiencing ALL THE MANY REALMS of the EXISTENCE the BEING a woman who is at ONCE CHERISHED & DIMINSHED... CELEBRATED & DAMNED .... TAKEN & NOT GIVEN ... THE TOAST & THEN utterly TOASTED ... INDEED the IRONY of being a so called "Black" woman in AMERICA! I heard my mothers SOUL coming through the styling & sultriness of the VOICE of DIONNE! "WALK LITTLE DOLLY" Spoke of a woman COPING with hardship though it was B side song it had NO LESS DEPTH than any A side HIT! It spoke of a woman determined to keep WALKING though her fears tears & disappointments THOUGH at times needing to "REVERT" to childhood times.. Because "It is only in REAL life....that a girl has to CRY..la lalalala ..la ...lalalala...LA LA LA ....LAAAAA LAAAAAA..." My mom seemed to RESONATE in the comforting words & phrasing ...the cool assurance .... The subtle yet POWERFUL declarations of a DIONNE WARWICK RENDITION of SONG!!! Ans so I seemed MORE ATTENTIVE to LISTENING intuiting that my mom was communicating through DIONNE!! And BOY did I HEAR because Dionne is one of the MAJOR influences of my OWN song & style.. I was TOUCHED as a child with the charm of DIONNE'S voice! I believe Dionne may have been my mom's favorite female singer at least at that time in our lives as she loved music and all kinds ... I STILL feel DIONNE captured something deep in the psyche & soul of my mother! Diana Ross & the Supremes were a force of nature & great talents! This is no doubt! Diana's vibe was at that time more light she sang happy & bouncy beautiful songs! I think Diana spoke to a younger generation I do not take anything away from Diana & she has grown immensely as an artist she is a treasured favorite of mine personally! In my mind I have always felt the two voices had much in common! And I have felt that both voices share a similar tone a tone that I find MOST APPEALING of the female vocal ranges & a delivery that to my ear was extremely intimate & nuanced at their very BEST performances! Both Dionne & Whitney were a few women who could share a STAGE with Diana & hold their own Gladys as well! When I say hold their own I don't mean necessarily VOCALLY I mean with semblance of grace & cordiality a GENUINE cordiality with little need to compete! I know Divas will be Divas but I am saying these ladies are BOTH at the helm for me personally of what music is ALL about.. I was never one for the BELTERS and though we all get a big kick out say a Patti La Belle... It just was not the end all be all for me EVER! I NEEDED NUANCE & LOTS of it! In MY book BOTH these ladies Dionne & Diana were THE FOUNDATIONS of what music means to ME! Oh there are others but these two in particular if I had to do without ALL but one or two singers... Maybe three? It's the three D's DIONNE DIANA DONNA These ladies are my MAIN MUSES I sing because THEY sang TO ME!!! & they MADE ME want to sing! Again there are others.. But these are my staples TOGETHER they encompass ALL that I want & EXPECT from GOOD music from a FEMALE! God BLESS THEM ALL! AND I am so happy to see Dionne releasing new music .. I LOVE her continuous drive !!!! It is SO inspiring for us singers! BRAVO DW!!! . .
One of my earliest memories is of listening to Dionne Warwick sing "Promises". I made my mom play the 8 track tape over and over again until tape finally broke. LOL!!!
In 1963 I was age 5. I have loved every Dionne Warwick song since then. 56 years later she still has a prominent place on my playlist. A talented and lovely lady.
I have been loving and singing Dionne Warrick songs since I was a little girl. I have her and Whitney's CDs in my car. I enjoy singing to the top of my lungs while traveling to this day. 😂😂❤❤
I didn't realize how much Dionne has been a part of my life!I am smiling but also tearing up too.i would love to see her in concert now.God bless you, Dionne, your music will always be in my heart!!!What's it all about, Alfie is probably one of my top favorites!!!💖🎶🎤
My grandma hipped me to her popular music and the one's that didn't make it to the big time and they are all great! She's one of a kind! An global treasure and in my opinion, never got the props she deserves!
You'll always be loved for your superb singing style and unforgettable presentations. You and Whitney gave the world some of THE BEST SINGING we're ever gonna know.
I've had the great pleasure of seeing Warwick and Bacharach perform live together several times--and lemme tell ya, neither one of them disappoint. Class acts, both of them!
I was so fortunate to grow up when those Bacharach/David/Warwick songs were coming out. The chemistry of that team was just amazing. I have a lot of CDs, but Dionne Warwick’s performances of those old Bacharach/David tunes get more play than a lot of my others. It’s like listening to an old friend. I can even remember the first time I heard Paper Mache - what gorgeous songs. But I must say that Do You Know The Way to San Jose is one of my all-time favorite songs. How do you beat lyrics like this?: L.A. is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star. Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass. And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas. I’ve lived in L.A. for more than four decades now. That is L.A.! And that is a perfect song - in part because of the nonsensical syllables that Ms. Warwick seems to dislike so much. All one can do is laugh about it. Tchaikovsky hated The Nutcracker, too. It’s funny how artists perceive their own works. Ultimately, no one beats Ms. Warwick at her game. And if I were stocking a time capsule to represent the best of Earth’s cultures, I would most definitely include several of those old songs as the best of American pop culture. All the best to Ms. Warwick.
Great report. Excellent job by Mo Rocca navigating the entire story. Dionne is pure class. Amazing talent and a beautiful person still showing us what it means to be in control of things at 78!
That voice, her and her cousin both had voices that will never be heard again. Th at voice is a one of a kind. May it sing forever. She always such a lady.
Eu adoro Dionne,canta como um anjo,e acho que sua vida e carreira são dignos de um belo filme,tanto ela como o Burt Bacharach,pois eles merecem essa homenagem enquanto estão vivos! Amo os!
My father was in the US Air Force, so I grew up in Germany and Italy back in the 60s and early 70's. My parents bought every single album Dionne Warwick released in those years,. Consequently she - pretty much - was the soundtrack of my childhood. And a great childhood it was!! My parents are long gone now and every time I hear one of her songs I'm almost brought to tears! She and her songs will always hold a special place in my heart!
My mom played Dionne alllllll the time when I was a little girl. I remember so many of these songs. I love Miss Dionne. Makes me teary cause now, my mom is deceased. When I hear any of those songs from that time(memories swell up) I'm a lil girl again & then reality hits. My mother is gone... :(
I was fortunate enough to see Dionne twice in concert the very first time in 1985 at Radio City Music Hall New York City with Johnny Mathis !! Just Wow
I like you too Dionne Warwick, and I love your music. You are the songstress I sang to for as long as I can remember. You helped form my love of music, singing, playing instruments...a huge part of my life. Thank you
Dionne Warwick has a very distinctive voice which I can easily listen to and try to sing along with her, "can't touch it " my favorite song, "you'll never get to heaven if you break my heart. ❤❤❤
No one sounds like Dionne Warwick but Dionne. That’s what separates her from the other talented artists. She’s has a one of a kind voice and I love it!
Love, love, love Dionne Warwick. Her voice and these songs were always on the radio during some of the best times in my life. Such a beautiful voice and an amazing performer -incredible talent. There will never be another like her.❤️❤️
Do you know the way to San Jose is the first Dionne Warwick song I remember. I remember singing it as a early teen in Jamaica while doing chores. This was in the mid 60s.
I grew up listening to Dionne and Burt’s music! Reminds me of my sweet mother who is close to passing! Thank you mama for all your sacrifices! I love you forever! 😂
O, Auntie Dee. Can I ever get through 'Message to Michael' without tearing up? Or so many of the other Bacharach collaborations. These songs break your heart a little bit more with each repetition. Like wine, they are flavored with added richness and depth as time goes by. Here's to you, Dionne.

What people don't realize is that the Bacharach/David songbook are very difficult songs to sing, and at the time very few singers could sing. Dionne had the range that could handle the complex arrangements, lyrical structures and at times odd time signatures of certain songs. She's a gem and is indeed a legend during those formative years. I love her.
Love her love her love her l came up listening to this grand lady Her songs made me happy Her class made me a gentleman love you Ms warwick
Without Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Dionne's life would have been very different. She does not give them enough credit for putting her on the map.
I love that woman. Terribly underrated. Her voice is so dynamic and her songs so powerful.
You never lied!! Completely agree.
How is she underrated? She sold millions of records and is a living legend.
Robertjshearer I wish I could put it in words but I do understand what he was trying to say. She proved herself over and over as being a vocal giant but because some people just don’t like her they don’t give accolades. Kinda like Whitney vs Anita Baker.
@@StrongCaramel yes,but at the end, she has has lived a full life without being destroyed...
I think people just like to use that word to make people think they have an in-depth understanding of an artist talents. This woman was /is an international star. You can’t be underrated and your music is recognized all over the world.
We need a lifetime movie of her life. She’s a gem 💎
A voice i much overlooked❤ thanks for this post John Barnett ❤revisited December 21 2023
A living legend. No one can compare! Hope she will be given her much deserved spot in the Kennedy Center Honors!
i hadn't paid attention. no dionne? c'mon people.
Both Dionne and Burt Bacharach deserve to be inducted into Kennedy honors. LL Cool J, what a joke
That Kennedy Center is long overdue for Ms.Warwick! An international ⭐ AN ICON!
Now she’s finally got it this year.
Ageless. Beautiful. Classy. Genuine lady. Icon. Dionne Warwick is the real deal.
Dionne Warwick, an amazing lady, an amazing artist. Thank you for bringing joy to our life.
This woman is a national treasure. Aretha rented her version of "I Say a Little Prayer for You" but Dionne will always own it.
There was no magic as great as Warwick, Bacharach, and David. Listen to those gems.
She sucks

Dumb people make dumb comments.
Yes!! I still listen to it today 🙌🙌
@@SabbathSOG You're what,7 years old????
I've tried but ok
*”To be a part of people’s ‘smile times’ in their lives... you can’t beat it!”* wonderfully said Dionne!
❤️ 🎼 🎶😊❤️. Great piece Mo!
:)!! Mom made sure that me and my siblings grew u with Dion and I'm ever richer for it!!! I still have much of her songs somewhere around my house.
She’s definitely a part of all of our lives.❤️
Her life should be a movie. She is so underrated. The young gern dont understand her legacy.
@Master Sphinx is Royal True because Dionne Warwick keeps her personal life so private that without her assistance, screenwriters would have to make a bunch of stuff up or rely on her colleagues who are even older than she is!

She does not act like a DIVA. She's a classy lady, I love her. I wish I can meet her one day.

Dyn Christianson yes!
Deja vu and Then came you
Yes indeed I remember these timeless songs, as an 80s kid🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Love Power
Dionne is an original goddess singing REAL music with REAL meaning
Cheryl so agree just like her Beautiful Talented cousin the late very great Whitney Houston

DIONNE!!!
Oh how does one begin to speak of such an...epoch!
This is what Dionne represents to me....
Growing up in Brownsville Brooklyn in a lovely apartment my mom made a cozy & beautifully wonderful home....
That wasn't enough!
There was & had to be MUSIC to complete the picture!
So we had Motown, we had Brazil 66, We had WAR, we had a bit of Philly, we had Salsa & Merengue, we had Sinatra, we had the Impressions, we even had Janis Joplin we had a LOT..
There were MANY a singers pumping through the walls at our house!
And there was DIONNE!
I try to put my finger on what made DIONNE the PREMIER voice in our living space..
What was it about THIS PARTICULAR female that seemed to take PRECEDENCE over most and more often that not ALL the other voices in our home of that time...
TODAY may be the very FIRST TIME I have come up with a definitive answer to this pending question...
I KNOW NOW why DIONNE was THE VOICE of my household above ALL others though there were runner ups ...
I now understand DIONNE'S VOICE was the voice of MY MOTHER!!!!!
DIONNE was what my MOTHER felt & if she were personified as MUSIC she would be like a DIONNE WARWICK SONG!
DIONNE was the voice of a sophisticated woman of renown in her own right!
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY a woman of COLOR representing the DEPTH & MULTI FACETED ASPECTS of being a woman of color experiencing ALL THE MANY REALMS of the EXISTENCE the BEING a woman who is at ONCE CHERISHED & DIMINSHED...
CELEBRATED & DAMNED ....
TAKEN & NOT GIVEN ...
THE TOAST & THEN utterly TOASTED ...
INDEED the IRONY of being a so called "Black" woman in AMERICA!
I heard my mothers SOUL coming through the styling & sultriness of the VOICE of DIONNE!
"WALK LITTLE DOLLY"
Spoke of a woman COPING with hardship though it was B side song it had NO LESS DEPTH than any A side HIT!
It spoke of a woman determined to keep WALKING though her fears tears & disappointments THOUGH at times needing to "REVERT" to childhood times..
Because "It is only in REAL life....that a girl has to CRY..la lalalala ..la ...lalalala...LA LA LA ....LAAAAA LAAAAAA..."
My mom seemed to RESONATE in the comforting words & phrasing ...the cool assurance ....
The subtle yet POWERFUL declarations of a DIONNE WARWICK RENDITION of SONG!!!
Ans so I seemed MORE ATTENTIVE to LISTENING intuiting that my mom was communicating through DIONNE!!
And BOY did I HEAR because Dionne is one of the MAJOR influences of my OWN song & style..
I was TOUCHED as a child with the charm of DIONNE'S voice!
I believe Dionne may have been my mom's favorite female singer at least at that time in our lives as she loved music and all kinds ...
I STILL feel DIONNE captured something deep in the psyche & soul of my mother!
Diana Ross & the Supremes were a force of nature & great talents!
This is no doubt!
Diana's vibe was at that time more light she sang happy & bouncy beautiful songs!
I think Diana spoke to a younger generation I do not take anything away from Diana & she has grown immensely as an artist she is a treasured favorite of mine personally!
In my mind I have always felt the two voices had much in common!
And I have felt that both voices share a similar tone a tone that I find MOST APPEALING of the female vocal ranges & a delivery that to my ear was extremely intimate & nuanced at their very BEST performances!
Both Dionne & Whitney were a few women who could share a STAGE with Diana & hold their own Gladys as well!
When I say hold their own I don't mean necessarily VOCALLY I mean with semblance of grace & cordiality
a GENUINE cordiality with little need to compete!
I know Divas will be Divas but I am saying these ladies are BOTH at the helm for me personally of what music is ALL about..
I was never one for the BELTERS and though we all get a big kick out say a Patti La Belle...
It just was not the end all be all for me EVER!
I NEEDED NUANCE & LOTS of it!
In MY book BOTH these ladies Dionne & Diana were THE FOUNDATIONS of what music means to ME!
Oh there are others but these two in particular if I had to do without ALL but one or two singers...
Maybe three?
It's the three D's
DIONNE DIANA DONNA
These ladies are my MAIN MUSES I sing because THEY sang TO ME!!!
& they MADE ME want to sing!
Again there are others..
But these are my staples
TOGETHER they encompass ALL that I want & EXPECT from GOOD music from a FEMALE!
God BLESS THEM ALL!
AND I am so happy to see Dionne releasing new music ..
I LOVE her continuous drive !!!!
It is SO inspiring for us singers!
BRAVO DW!!!

And I....never thought I'd have the chance to say...that I do believe I love you....one of my favorite songs from Miss Dionne Warwick
Very few artists can have careers spanning decades. Dionne Warwick is a special group of legendary artists.

Dionne was/is one of my greatest vocal influences.
Oh I love “Don’t Make Me Over!” it used to make me cry !😏
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady that had a voice that you never forget. So glad to see her again .
"You see this guy . . . this guy's in love with you." Thanks, Dionne!
I like the way she shuts down topics she feels no need to discuss. You go Dionne. So sassy.
Miss Dionne Warwick is a International treasure.
You'll always be loved for your superb singing style and unforgettable presentations. You and Whitney gave the world some of THE BEST SINGING we're ever gonna know.
I love you Dion Warwick. (Warrick) I say a prayer for you!!!
I grew up listening to you.
Soooooo did I eventhough the songs were like 20 years old; but mom got it right!!
she's not reading this, genius
Sal Paradise OK tater tot. I guess you feel like a man now. Glad I could do you service.
How about spelling her name right!

I've had the great pleasure of seeing Warwick and Bacharach perform live together several times--and lemme tell ya, neither one of them disappoint. Class acts, both of them!
Such a great voice
"Walk on by" is my jam!
I was so fortunate to grow up when those Bacharach/David/Warwick songs were coming out.
The chemistry of that team was just amazing.
I have a lot of CDs, but Dionne Warwick’s performances of those old Bacharach/David tunes
get more play than a lot of my others. It’s like listening to an old friend.
I can even remember the first time I heard Paper Mache - what gorgeous songs.
But I must say that Do You Know The Way to San Jose is one of my all-time favorite songs.

In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star.
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass.
And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas.
I’ve lived in L.A. for more than four decades now. That is L.A.!
And that is a perfect song - in part because of the nonsensical syllables that
Ms. Warwick seems to dislike so much. All one can do is laugh about it.
Tchaikovsky hated The Nutcracker, too. It’s funny how artists perceive their own works.
Ultimately, no one beats Ms. Warwick at her game.
And if I were stocking a time capsule to represent the best of Earth’s cultures,
I would most definitely include several of those old songs as the best of American pop culture.
All the best to Ms. Warwick.
She still looks very beautiful and sings beautifully
Love you Ms. Warwick.🤩 that's what friends are for.❤
Love, love, love that voice and the magic that happened between her burt and hal.💗💗💗
That sooo true for me I grew up with her!!

Great report. Excellent job by Mo Rocca navigating the entire story. Dionne is pure class. Amazing talent and a beautiful person still showing us what it means to be in control of things at 78!
That voice, her and her cousin both had voices that will never be heard again. Th at voice is a one of a kind. May it sing forever. She always such a lady.

Nhlanhla Nene it has to be walk on by for me💕
"Deja vu" makes me go to another world, like living in a dream of another era, just my fav song from her, gotta love her!, i do!
Oh my gosh, same here. Those strings and that piano work are utterly unequalled. Isaac Hayes for the win.
Good to see her getting her flowers now, and not later. She deserves it 😊
Dionne Warrick is a National Treasure.. I loved her Class,Voice,Beauty & Style a True Living Legend
Dionne / A beautiful woman and soul . Her voice stands the test of time . Love love love her ❤️

Eu adoro Dionne,canta como um anjo,e acho que sua vida e carreira são dignos de um belo filme,tanto ela como o Burt Bacharach,pois eles merecem essa homenagem enquanto estão vivos! Amo os!
The Amazing Dionne Warwick 😍
My father was in the US Air Force, so I grew up in Germany and Italy back in the 60s and early 70's. My parents bought every single album Dionne Warwick released in those years,. Consequently she - pretty much - was the soundtrack of my childhood. And a great childhood it was!! My parents are long gone now and every time I hear one of her songs I'm almost brought to tears! She and her songs will always hold a special place in my heart!
I love you, DIONNE WARWICK. May you remain in good health, and keep signing! You enrich my life ENORMOUSLY.
I love this woman's voice, so unique!
My mom played Dionne alllllll the time when I was a little girl. I remember so many of these songs. I love Miss Dionne. Makes me teary cause now, my mom is deceased. When I hear any of those songs from that time(memories swell up) I'm a lil girl again & then reality hits. My mother is gone... :(
Dionne Warwick a singer legend is among the very best in the music industry. We all love her music and her.
I love this woman and her voice, songs and her wonderful example of what a classy woman really is. ♥️
Music was so much more...memorable and uplifting in the 1960's.
She is an anomaly of Fabulousness and Fierceness. Love you Ms. Dionne!
I was fortunate enough to see Dionne twice in concert the very first time in 1985 at Radio City Music Hall New York City with Johnny Mathis !! Just Wow
I had the great pleasure to see Dionne live in concert in New Orleans in the early sixties.....SHE IS STUNNING.....BRILLIANT.....
"Anyone Who Had a Heart" is a masterpiece and is my all time favorite song. Thank you Dionne Warwick for the music of my life.
Her voice! She is my jam. 🌷🌸🌻
I like you too Dionne Warwick, and I love your music. You are the songstress I sang to for as long as I can remember. You helped form my love of music, singing, playing instruments...a huge part of my life. Thank you
She still looks good and classy at her age. May God continue to bless her.
I have listen to her, as long as I can remember. She will always place a smile on my face.
Dionne Warwick has a very distinctive voice which I can easily listen to and try to sing along with her, "can't touch it " my favorite song, "you'll never get to heaven if you break my heart. ❤❤❤
Thank you one of my favorites till this day. I love MS W. What a class act and classy lady. Brings me to tears. 💎👑💗💗
No one sounds like Dionne Warwick but Dionne. That’s what separates her from the other talented artists. She’s has a one of a kind voice and I love it!
Love, love, love Dionne Warwick. Her voice and these songs were always on the radio during some of the best times in my life. Such a beautiful voice and an amazing performer -incredible talent. There will never be another like her.❤️❤️
I love Dionne Warwick,beautiful talent lady,just a beautiful person,one of our great talents.
You are a part of my smile time.!!! Thank you babydoll i love you 💕
Do you know the way to San Jose is the first Dionne Warwick song I remember. I remember singing it as a early teen in Jamaica while doing chores. This was in the mid 60s.
I was so lucky to see her in concert in Dallas, about 20 years ago. What a great voice, personality and talent!
My childhood was fill with ALL these hits!
Watched a couple of interviews with Dionne. I like how she mentions the advice about being yourself. Charismatic woman
Her approach to facing the world and the people in it is philosophical in nature. She can turn the most simplest tunes into something magical.
Another positive image for me as a little girl. Thank you Ms. Warwick.
*Always classy. Always kind. That's a true QUEEN.*
I love Dionne. Listen to her music often and will continue to. Would love to hear new music from her.❤️❤️
I grew up listening to Dionne and Burt’s music! Reminds me of my sweet mother who is close to passing! Thank you mama for all your sacrifices! I love you forever! 😂
Love to you and your mother! She sounds like she’s very lucky to have you.
O, Auntie Dee. Can I ever get through 'Message to Michael' without tearing up? Or so many of the other Bacharach collaborations. These songs break your heart a little bit more with each repetition. Like wine, they are flavored with added richness and depth as time goes by. Here's to you, Dionne.
All of dionne warwicks songs are fantastic & memorable...
wonderful lady - the one and only Dionne Warwick
