    I have been in love with Dionne since the early '60s, with "Walk on By," "Don't Make Me Over," "Anyone Who Had a Heart"... "Make It Easy on Yourself"! She and Dusty Sprinfield were without a doubt the finest interpreters of the great music by Bacharach and David. Dionne is a National Treasure.

    ❤Maurice Gibb wept after he, Barry, and Robin finished writing this song for Mrs. Warwick, realizing its lyrical power-and thinking, “We should be singing this.” Sure enough Heartbreaker became an international hit and they felt her singing was brilliant! 🎉 Also, “Walk on By” is one of the greatest songs ever put to record in my humble opinion-her delivery is sublime: ua-cam.com/video/bpoBISzUP4o/v-deo.html

      Burt Bacharach was a huge composer and had several hits that he sang. But after hearing Dionne Warwick he started writing almost exclusively for her. Obviously, the Bee Gees loved her voice too. Dionne Warwick's catalog is a huge. I don't think Burt Bacharach ever wrote a bad song.

    Jay, I'm so proud of you hearing the Bee Gees sound in that intro!! Even though it is a fabulous song, Barry had to do some serious arm twisting to get her to do it. She didn't think it fit her. It was one of her biggest hits. Mo said he wanted to cry in the car going home after the recording session, because he was overcome that the brothers didn't do it themselves. They sang it in the medley section of their concerts. I love her version, but three brothers with that spectacular harmony around one mic is heaven.

      In the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and New Zealand, Warwick's recording lost out to a cover version by Cilla Black. Black's version was a UK number-one hit for three weeks in February/March 1964 and was also the fourth best-selling single of 1964 in the UK,[2] with sales of around 950,000 copies.
      Petula Clark also recorded "Anyone Who Had a Heart" in several foreign language versions for the international market. Clark reached No. 7 in France with "Ceux Qui Ont Un Coeur" in the spring of 1964, then No. 5 in Italy with "Quelli che hanno un cuore"1 that September. In October 1964, Clark reached No. 1 in Spain-for a two-week period-with "Tú no tienes corazón".

    A beautiful song written by Barry, Robin and Maurice! The lyrics are SO Bee Gees and they knew exactly how to match a song with the voice they were writing for. The Bee Gees performed this in their 1989 "One for all" Melbourne concert Medley. That would be a terrific reaction if possible. Showcases all the brother in top form and several of their hits through the decades.

    Starting around 1964, Ms. Warwick's collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Hal David would assure a hit record! "Don't Make Me Over", "I Say A Little Prayer", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "Alfie", "Promises, Promises", "You'll Never Get To Heaven If You Break My Heart", "Anyone Who Had A Heart", just to name a few. They all had that signature easy-going Bacharach/David sound. If you heard the song, you almost always knew they wrote it!

    Yes, Barry Gibb has that distinctive habit of seamlessly add a beat to a bar (or measure) without it all sounding strange. Or subtract a beat. But it always flows perfectly. To do that without making the song sound weird is musical genius.

    A multi-Grammy legend from Motown days on and Whitney Houston’s aunt. She’s a powerhouse, this is a more subtle song given to her by the Bee Gee’s. You could do a lot of shows with just hits written by the Barry for others. The top would be Immortality with Celine & the Guilty album with Barbara (Celine & Barbara have an amazing duet - Tell Him).

Bee Gee's and Clive Davis convinced Ms. Dionne to sing this. She really didn't want to do the song. She wasn't fond of it! What a masterpiece she turned it into! Only Ms. Dionne. Please more Ms. Dionne!! She is a vocal masterpiece!!

    Her voice is one of the best.

    The other night, I was watching the Clive Davis documentary on Netflix. Clive brought both Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin onto Arista Records and resurrected their careers. Both ladies were languishing with not having a hit in several years. Clive was able to talk Dionne and Aretha into joining Arista, and both ladies came back to win awards for songs that Clive found. Clive Davis was known as the man with the golden ear.

    @lynnlafever1810 Рік тому +24

    I absolutely love this woman and ALL her music! Ms Warwick and Burt Bacharach were a tour de force starting in the early 60s through the early 70s. Bacharach (6 Grammys & 3 Acadamy awards) is an American composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist who wrote hundreds of pop songs between the late 1950s and the 1980s. I believe they, together, basically created the "pop" music genre.

    • @lindapetro5594

    Aw, I knew you’d love it! Especially with that unmistakable Barry falsetto in the backing vocals! It’s truly hard to imagine looking back, but after Saturday Night Fever and Disco blew up, The Bee Gees were everywhere and suffered from overexposure. There was a real backlash against them. I never understood it at the time, but it was real. They never left the airwaves, but had to be more covert. This was one of the songs made during that time. They still would play it live and recorded it themselves years later. ❤️

    Dionne Warwick was one of the biggest female solo artists of the 70's. Many of her greatest songs have already been listed in the comments. I'd like to suggest: A House Is Not A Home. Then after reacting to this song I recommend you listen to Luther Vandross' tribute to Dionne of this song at the NAACP awards. show. . He takes the song to another level and Dionne loves it.
