what makes this performance of this particular song, so impressive, is how she makes her approach, look so easy. When you watch her sing, she INTENTIONALLY gives you the impression that you can sing like her too. But thats the hook!..she tricks you into thinking that way..because TRUST ME, singing like Dionne Warwick, in her prime, at the top of her game like she was here, IS HARD TO DO. It takes MANY YRS, of singing in front of audiences, to sing this way. With her, every single thing she does on that stage, is flawless, error-free...she engages the audience...and charms your socks off. her approach, is simple...she doesnt attempt to sing anything that she is not vocally able to pull off. And you see it, here in this song...simple phrasing...she totally takes her time...SHE ENUNCIATES EVERY SINGLE WORD..but not in a way thats annoying. And when its time for her to show off a little bit, with the breath control and the fade-aways, with the microphone, she can do that in a way that looks more elegant and cool, than what you will see with her legendary peers like Patti Labelle and Nancy Wilson. When you see or hear Dionne Warwick in footage like this, you're observing a 'master class' of singing, from one of the greatest vocalists who ever lived. Dont believe me, check her catalogue and album sales.
@lawrence_619. You brilliantly broke down the plantinum vocals of Ms. Iconic Dionne Warwick!! One thing I will add is that her voice is capable of doing the impossible ❤!! A class by herself!!
I was the musical director for the 80s TV series, “Solid Gold“ (my name is Michael Miller), and I just want to say that, week after week, year after year, whether in the recording studio or the TV studio, everything Dionne sang for Solid Gold (and for me privately), whether it was a solo or a duet, she made into a spectacular & singular work of art. Dionne is an artist like no other, whose inspired nuances, colorations, interpretations and soul-stirring tone would leave me breathless after everything we ever did. She is also the truest and best friend one could ever have, and I am so happy that you are using your channel to show off her many heaven-sent wonders. 🎶💙🎶
Bigeyezzzz. I always communicated with you for years on the tube about Ms. Dionne and does that mean your are the one and only Michael Miller?!!!!! Really? I love Ms. Dionne talent and I believe every single word you mentioned about her voice. There is no one like Ms. Dionne not now not ever!! She is still such a great songstress today 20, 30, 40, 50.. years old or not, she is still the master!!!
d oliver Well, I imagine there are plenty of others with my same name, but I am the one and only Michael Miller who was the musical director and the theme composer of Solid Gold! And, I really appreciate all of your positivity! You are totally correctAbout Dionne’s voice - there is no voice in the universe even close to its perfection and uniqueness! It was a dream come true to work alongside of Dionne for all those years back then and to have launched the lifelong friendship we currently enjoy. Thanks again for all of your kindness! 🎶🤟🏼🎶
@@bigeyezzzzzzz OMFreakinG. All these years I been communicating with you, I had know Idea it was you, lol. I am sure you may recognize my comments basically no matter who posts something on the wonderful legend. I learned alot from her vocally myself. I believe I am her greatest fan ever, even over Luther or Russell Thompkins Jr, lol. Ms. Dionne has been singing before I was born, I was introduce to her music from my mom and kept up every since. If you don't mind, Can we please stay in touch? Please do not mistake that me as a stalker, I am far from it, lol. You are such a great musical director. I would love to personally hear the your story in how you and Ms. Dionne arranged the haunting slow version of "Solid Gold". That should have been a hit single!!!
d oliver I love your enthusiasm! Now, regarding the slow version of my Solid Gold theme: I arranged it on my piano at home and then took it to Dionne‘s house, played it for her and she loved it. Besides performing it on Solid Gold and the NBC Tonight Show, she also included it in her touring act for several years. I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!
Her dynamics! Her understanding of softness/loudness! So many subtle crescendos and glissandos! The way she's using different aspects of her voice! The power of her midbelts
To watch and hear Dionne in her prime, shows you exactly where Whitney got her stage presence and vocal stylings. Of course, she got some of Cissy's vocal stylings, too.
The second belt when she holds the mic by her shoulder! SHE IS EPIC! Whitney is really DIONNE at another level. She got her head voice from her mother but WHITNEY AND DIONNE are phrasing and timing and drama and belts and performance and build and so much = DIONNE!!!
She is just so damned completely different than anybody else. She is understated, yet powerful. She is soft, but yet loud. But most of all, her singing is completely and utterly effortless. She does not fall down on her knees, go into convulsions, or gyrate her body when hitting or holding notes. She remains classy and poised throughout a performance, despite how loud she gets or how long she holds a note. There really is nobody like her.
Yes we need more Dionne Warwick reactions. I’m a late bloomer to really tapping into her music. But after binge watching her performances from 60s/70s and respectfully 80s, I can say that I was blown away. She had RANGE and power for days. She can also sustain a note like nobody’s business! Whitney definitely borrowed from her playbook!
Dionne Warwick doesn't hold back. She destroys IN CONCERT. She never has to impress because IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. She has brought me to tears MANY TIMES.
This recording is what of the great vocals of all time. Just sublime. Powerful, moving, hard and soft, caressing, then, all of a sudden, haunting, almost desperate. Those present were in the presence of greatness. And, uh, long before Whitney.
I think as a fan of music, it is a must to go back at vintage videos and see how great an artist Dionne really was. Her tone, her vibrato, her choices were just so magical. Its sad to think that when people take about legendary soul singers she isnt included in those conversations often but she has had so many hits and her voice is so memorable in moments like this...
MORE MS. DIONNE WARWICK reactions. She deserves every ounce of credibility!!! She started it all. Whitney studied everything she knows from Ms. Dionne, but still Ms. Dionne is the Master on every level!!!
finally someone react to Dionne's performances, love it! one of the smartest musician, great technique, her artistry and technique should be more acknowledged & learned by young people
Man. I am a extremely proud of you!! You finally discovering the master of them all, Ms. Dionne Warwick!! Yes, you know I am that one telling you if you really want to know singing check her out!! I know you remember my comments!! Ms. Dionne doesn't sing. She create masterpieces!! That is why you have difficulty describing her, she can't be put in a box or with anyone else for that matter!! 🤣🤣I believe you are officially hooked now🤣🤣🤣🤣. She doesn't hold back. I have been studying her a long time now. The thing is that even up to this day she is just positively unpredictable!! Can't guess what she is going to do. I even saw you thinking what she would do next then your expression changed because you couldn't, lol. NO ONE WILL EVER DO IT LIKE MS. DIONNE NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY.❤❤❤. Her voice and style is just too unique.
D Oliver I got so much from your comments. Dionne is an artist that knows how to interpret a song with her voice! It’s like she is a musical storyteller on the stage. Very few artists can do that. When she uses her mic like it’s a trombone and does that look away with the high notes...she knows the power in her voice. She’s captivating, mesmerizing, etc. I hope others know she song this song towards the end of singing song after song for 20+ minutes. She looked stunning when she walked on the stage and looked that way when she walked off the stage. She’s in Effortless Class all by herself! JUST A POWERHOUSE!!
@@felisiawilliams5867 I thank you. Your comments regarding the talent of Ms. Dionne is def on point as well. Ms. Dionne is one iconic, Legendary, masterful, and whimsical musical genius!!!
Dionne is such an under-rated and under-remembered vocalist today. Aretha, Whitney, Patti and others claimed there unique place in music history. Dionne had a voice and a vocal skill that was nearly matchless and she's almost a footnote now.
She still is to this day!!! Only thing which is a small thing that she is not 20 anymore, lol. However, you can not be an extraordinary legend staying 20 all your life, lol
Dionne always leaves you SPEACHLESS.....the most distinctive voice around. LOVE HER. PLEASE.....listen to her cover of "On My Own".....will break you're heart!!!
Yes!!! You got to it!! THANK YOU! Outside of Stevie's version, this one is the best! Dionne needs more respect on her name as a vocalist.. Also, yes Whitney picked up a lot from Dionne, especially stage mannerisms. If you're looking for more Dionne, she hosted a show called Solid Gold in the early 80s. She performed a lot of duets with legends like Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, and even a young Whitney. All of those performances are fire, Dionne knows where to find her place in any piece of music.
Man you are absolute on your comment!! Ms. Dionne is that ONE!! Always will and always will be!! Can't be touch and can't be duplicated!! Whitney at best did well studying Dionne but no one will ever ever sing like Ms. Dionne!!
Thanks, thank you, for making this video reaction to one of the greates vocalist Ms. Dionne Warwick. Her voice was pure gold and her powerful range unbelievable out of this earth. She is a gift from God.
Dionne Warwick is criminally underappreciated today. Her contribution to pop is so hard to ignore. Her discpgraphy in the 60s is my favorite! There are only two English language singers that I love so much: Dionne Warwick and Karen Carpenter.
She's a genius with using her vocal contrast to the fullest without trying too hard to BE HEARD or FORCE the message of the song down your throat. Her gentle approach and slooooow melodic movement toward the PUNCH is powerful just before she gently lets you go at the end.
Please get it correct. It is the other way around. Ms. Dionne came way b4 Whitney. This performance was 8 to 10 years b4 Whitney became famous. Whitney is no way superior and never has been to Ms. Iconic Dionne. In all due respect, Whitney rightfully and smartly emulated Ms. Dionne the best that she could.
@@singingmanmd um…I’m respectfully asking you to read my post that I could hear Dionne in Whitney. Not Whitney on Dionne’s performances lol. So what did I need to get correct. And how is it correct to get it the other way around ? Dionne in Whitney means Whitney came after Dionne and emulated Dionne. Are you sure you want it the other way around?….
There is reason why she was added to our DNA she has brought incalculable joy and pleasure to our lives with her voice, persona, presence, and so much more. That was her destiny and ours to know her. God bless her.
Sublime virtuosity! Al the very best singers are storytellers. Those low breathy notes sound like a tenor sax. And what she does with that mic is pure diva-in the very best sense of that word.
Dionne is one of THE most underrated artists of our time. There are three women that have always amazed me with their talent... Madonna, Grace Jones and Annie Lennox. Now there are four. =M=
After seeing this reaction and hear her sing I respect her vocally wayyyy more. I never she could really blow blow likes this! All I really heard was I’ll never love again
Love Dionne! You are really giving me a new appreciation of her. I never knew she had this in her. She is amazing. A recommended video, whitney, sting, elton john and pavoratti singing la donna e mobile. Fantastic to hear whitney sing opera
Ms. Dionne Warwick is no joke!!!! People sleep on her vocals..but she holds back a lot. Her range and belts .Out this world !! You can tell that powerful voices runs in the family.. like her cousin Whitney Houston. She has her own unique style. Love it!! Classy.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The stage presence of Whitney is rooted from Dionne,...I just saw that. Wauw what a voice I didn’t know she can even do that huuuuuneeeeyyyy! I have some Dionne homework to do
Phenomenal performance and your reactions. God she is such a stylish with soothing, yet powerful, heavy voice, unique tone, range like ocean waves.,her timing is Amazing,.. What not !!!! Love from Bangalore India 😍 True it's all in the family Houston family, warwick family... Yes truly Whitney is so much like her singing and body language.
A Great great singer. This blew me away. I've seen Dionne in concert three times and this is one of my favourite performance by any singer. John Sivorn
That family is just so gifted vocally. Just listen to the family members and tell me I'm wrong. Find video/audio of these these family members - Leotynne Price, The Drinkard Singers, Dee Dee Warwick, Cissy Houston, Gary Houston, Felicia Moss just to name a few.
Picture a world...in the late 60's and all through 70s...and into the 80's when Dionne dominated the radio airwaves...whenever you rode in the car...went to the supermarket...Dionne was there with you. And now she is making an instagram come back. She is a true Diva o the day!
A classic. Ms D has deserved the Kennedy Center Honors for many years. A National treasure. Please react to her version of Stevie Wonders’ song For once in my life.
Dionne has a Doctorate degree in music education...she is a musician for real...she is not up there playing around and singing loud and high all the time. I had no idea about Dionne outside of about 4 of her songs and seeing her on Solid Gold in the 80s before I could appreciate real singing and even know what it is, of course her psychic stint, and I saw her on the apprentice. I grew up with Whitney but Dionne Warwick set the blueprint for Whitney.
Absolutely and Whitney is very very good but Ms. Dionne is above for sure!! She has a full mastery that only she can do and Whitney was smart to understand it that is exactly why she did her best to emulate her Ms. big cuz Dionne!!
@@thabigcohuna OK. Never heard that before. Not surprise if she did bc Ms. Dionne has always been rightfully generous with her comments about other good singers including Whitney and less regarding her own artistry and accomplishments. However, my opinion/comment regarding Ms. Dionne's mastery still stands🙂.
U knew what he meant. U should've kept that comment to yourself! U r that type of person who likes to correct individuals just on technicalities! That's a sign of "wanting to be smart". But u really r not! Because a smart person wouldn't critique every little detail or point out someone's mistakes & imperfections! "Correction".!!😅😅 #Lack/of/Intelligence
I had no idea she sung this but lawd!!! I love it!!! You hear her power in Whitney when she sang. Whitney inherited those chops from her and her mother, Cissy Houston. The talent. She sang the hell outta this joint. Geesh❤❤❤❤
Dionne is in a class of her own - and no one sings like her. Her musicianship is unbelievable! ❤

She's phenomenal

Yes and more
Wonderful Descriptions!
Her voice is elegant, quite, powerful, smokey and distinctive.
Perfect description!!!’👍🏾
🎯💯
To watch and hear Dionne in her prime, shows you exactly where Whitney got her stage presence and vocal stylings. Of course, she got some of Cissy's vocal stylings, too.
To be honest sometimes a child can relate more to their aunties or uncles then their actual parents but at the end of the day it’s all family 😍
@@michellepreston9799 They are cousins.
One of the GREATEST PERFORMANCES EVER
we need more Dionne Warwick
Dionne was bad, but I think to some it lacks that soul you get from the others
Dionne was definitely amongst the top 3 vocalist of that era with Patti and Aretha. And yes Whitney was more Dionne than anyone else
Oh you forgot Gladys
Oh Patti Austin. I love her too!
I think during this era, although very different singers, It's between Dionne and Aretha.
@@jingaustria definitely Patti labelle
100 percent agree.

Ms. Dionne Warwick Was Nothing To Play With ...
She still not nothing to play with, lol. I love her!!!
This woman right here! Omg. Her musicality and vocal delivery is everything. The way she builds this song...my goodness!
That performance makes me cry every time, just incredible singing.
That was ridiculous! I never knew that she had such power and range!
There is a elegance in her voice.
Dionne held back a lot but she was as capable , as Aretha, Patti and Gladys! She just understood artistry; powerful vocalist
Dionne was More capable to me.
She could sing a ballad super power then go to walk on by smooth sassy .. she great
@@singingmanmd wouldn’t go that far... Aretha is mnt the queen of soul for nothing... Aretha was a full package

Maaaan when I discovered this video I have no idea how many times I had this on repeat
I want to see Dionne and Gladys get Kennedy honors before it's too late
Gladys got one and finally Dionne is getting one this year. It airs in December.
She already did! ❤

Now there are four.

Just loved Dionne.
The stage presence of Whitney is rooted from Dionne,...I just saw that. Wauw what a voice I didn’t know she can even do that huuuuuneeeeyyyy! I have some Dionne homework to do
Agreed

Dionne Warwick - Yours (live). The one with the black and white flower print dress.
Beautiful orchestra live music to accompany beautiful Dionne Warwick and her stunning voice. Love your reaction btw!
Now if you go further back I believe in her prime she was unstoppable truly gifted legendary singer
Whitney Houston those sound a lot like Dionne and her elegance, presence, poised and the voice. Dionne Warwick was amazing.
She still amazing. Nothing to proove. She can still light that candle, lol.😁😁
Phenomenal performance and your reactions. God she is such a stylish with soothing, yet powerful, heavy voice, unique tone, range like ocean waves.,her timing is Amazing,.. What not !!!!
Love from Bangalore India 😍
True it's all in the family Houston family, warwick family... Yes truly Whitney is so much like her singing and body language.
A Great great singer. This blew me away. I've seen Dionne in concert three times and this is one of my favourite performance by any singer. John Sivorn
I'm chocking before this! Hight notes, great Dione
That family is just so gifted vocally. Just listen to the family members and tell me I'm wrong. Find video/audio of these these family members - Leotynne Price, The Drinkard Singers, Dee Dee Warwick, Cissy Houston, Gary Houston, Felicia Moss just to name a few.
Nominate Ms D for the Kennedy Center Honors! No one deserves it more. Please and thank you.
Picture a world...in the late 60's and all through 70s...and into the 80's when Dionne dominated the radio airwaves...whenever you rode in the car...went to the supermarket...Dionne was there with you. And now she is making an instagram come back. She is a true Diva o the day!
And this is why Burt Bacharach, Rest His Soul chose to work with her with his incredible songs. He knew...he knew she has a gift. Wow
That was so beautiful, really want to listen to more of her performances
A classic. Ms D has deserved the Kennedy Center Honors for many years. A National treasure. Please react to her version of Stevie Wonders’ song For once in my life.
Dionne knows how to sing on top of being gifted with a unique special voice. Dionne is the master of control.
YES MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCE!!!
Dionne is the supreme stylist.
Speechless
Dionne is Dionne. But man, that orchestra. My kind of vibe 💕
Queen Dionne weaving dreams of mystery and majick and love while singing from her soul!!! Sooooooul beautiful 👑💖🎶🎶🎶👑💖✨🙏🏾✨
I think I was the first to request that you review this which happened on my 7th Earthday. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 This was the first time Dionne made me cry 😭😭😭
Dionne has a Doctorate degree in music education...she is a musician for real...she is not up there playing around and singing loud and high all the time. I had no idea about Dionne outside of about 4 of her songs and seeing her on Solid Gold in the 80s before I could appreciate real singing and even know what it is, of course her psychic stint, and I saw her on the apprentice. I grew up with Whitney but Dionne Warwick set the blueprint for Whitney.
I never knew she could sing like that!
Now you know and that is a geat thing❤❤❤❤
Correction.! Dionne came way before Whitney. Soo when you listen to Whitney you hear Dionne.. not the other way around.
Facts 💯
Absolutely and Whitney is very very good but Ms. Dionne is above for sure!! She has a full mastery that only she can do and Whitney was smart to understand it that is exactly why she did her best to emulate her Ms. big cuz Dionne!!
@@singingmanmd even Dionne will tell you Whitney was another level, she was the absolute best of her cousin and mother combined
@@thabigcohuna OK. Never heard that before. Not surprise if she did bc Ms. Dionne has always been rightfully generous with her comments about other good singers including Whitney and less regarding her own artistry and accomplishments. However, my opinion/comment regarding Ms. Dionne's mastery still stands🙂.
U knew what he meant. U should've kept that comment to yourself! U r that type of person who likes to correct individuals just on technicalities! That's a sign of "wanting to be smart". But u really r not! Because a smart person wouldn't critique every little detail or point out someone's mistakes & imperfections! "Correction".!!😅😅

DIONNA WARWICK Sounds Good
I never knew she could sing like that. She sung so many Burt Baccarat songs I never knew. That's alright.
Please , please , please listen to Dionne singing "I Didnt Mean To Love You " Paris 1976. She massacred that song !!!!
Yes that was amazing!!!
Listen to her hot live and otherwise CD
Yup!
Thank you very reacting to this!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Wow. Much respect!!!
YEP! Betta Recognize!!!

I had no idea she sung this but lawd!!! I love it!!! You hear her power in Whitney when she sang. Whitney inherited those chops from her and her mother, Cissy Houston. The talent. She sang the hell outta this joint. Geesh❤❤❤❤
