OK RESONANCE!!! A lot of people have only heard of Dionne Warwick after the height of her career and her damaged voice from smoking but they forget how incredible of a vocalist she was. You can tell where Whitney was influenced her mother and her cousin Dionne. Dionne during her heyday had one of the best voices of all time.
THANK YOU FOR THAT FACT!!! SMOKING!!! IM 53 IN 2021 AND NEVER KNEW WHY SHE WAS SO DAMNN UNDERRATED!!! SELF INFLICTED!! MAYBE SHE TAKES THE TILTLE QUEEN OF SOUL IF NOT FOR SMOKING!! MAYBE NOT!!!
What's even more impressive than some of them belts is how she can pull back on the power and volume of belts and high notes in chest voice. It's really beautiful because you can tell how careful she is. It's easy to let loose and just shout and scream every high note or belt. Her control is perfection
Dionne is a singer with a slightly odd sound. Sort of crackly. Totally appealing! I think her technique and style were among the best. Wonderful tone, timber and phrasing, unique vocal runs. She's a total original. People talk about the vocal decline she now shows, but they don't talk about what remains--her incredible understanding of working with a melody and judicious service of the lyrics--again, incredible technique.
And to add, age just becomes a disadvantage on any person when they reach the mellow stage, age advances and u can't go against it. Dionne has been smoking but not even once has she failed to perform, she just has this emerse breath and energy u can't compare, that is why even today at her very advance age she still sings.❤
She is a very classy singer. I always thought her voice had a certain 'frailty' in it maybe a congenital 'defect', but it made her sound even more distinctive. I still find her singing appealling to this day.
@@simonyanga9551 I would say I find her tone unpleasant only because I knew of her from 90s onward when her time wasn't that pleasant but because of UA-cam I see her younger videos her tone I my opinion was phenomenal. It dint realize she was that good a singer
I saw Dionne live back in the '80's when her voice was at it's peak---when she did that mic-down-by-her-waist stunt I LOST it--an absolutely amazing talent. I was on my feet in a second, clapping so hard my palms were sore for a week. BRAVA!!!!!!!!!
I am mad at myself on why for some reason never realize she's that incredible until recently! I know she's an incredible singer but never really thought she SANG like these clips, not to mention the stamina to sustain and the way she plays with dynamics are something else. Plus, she's so underrated! She's in the same league and generation of artists like Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones etc, but never talk as much today as her peers.
You'll notice all of these clips are from over 30 years ago. She hasn't been able to sing like this since around the age of 50 when the years of smoking caught up with her. She was nicknamed "The Talking Cigarette" or something like that.
Actually, this woman is the biggest solo female star of the 60s and early 70s. She became the best selling female vocalist for nearly a decade and within the decade they made a string 39 chart hits and sold 20 best selling albums. She did most of the firsts in the pop arena, too.
Now i know where whitney got her style..ahahaha..they almost sound the same on some parts..its just that whitney had a touch of updated sound during her time....
@@vangogh66110 not a proven fact. And as far as what I actually heard from Whitney, she adored DeeDee, even stated her as one of her biggest influences. Anyway, since what we're talking about is the voices in that family, I added DeeDee, She really got something in her instrument.
Breath control and her posture is damn near athletic. She performs vocal acrobatics without changing the clarity of the lyrics she sings. How she sustains those belts is itself amazing. It’s no wonder how she’s managed to occupy her space in the industry this well and for so long. ❤
To add to these great comments, Ms. Dionne makes it looks easy and she glides a bit on softer tones and that is where some people get confused about her great abilities. When actually, going from softer to belted tones are the most difficult to do. She is a brilliant and clever one of a kind iconic legend!! Phrasing, timing, belting, light tones, dark tones, enunciation, captivation, conveying the message, low chest register, mid- high register and her unique build up of a song!! She is the queen of vocal ability!! Period🙂
I recommend watching these livr performances : ill never love this again, alfie, finders of lost love , solid gold theme, all in love is fair, easy on yourself.
I'm getting butterflies in my stomach reading the comments. It's really lovely seeing them folks realize how of a vocal beast she is. Thank you so much!❤

@@jlusk999 ohh im not really being sarcastic lmao im just shookt that other great vocalist are related to each other.. But yahhh i didn't know that they were related butt thankss for the infoo thoo...
@@introvertsounds7083 Well cool I thought everyone knew that. But you must be younger. Yes they are indeed first cousins. Young Whitney used to go on tour with Dionne during the summer when she was off of school. Their family was very close. Dionne's mother Lee Drinkard Warrick was the oldest sister of the family and kind of like the matriarch. Cissy lived with Dionne as a child as both of Lee and Cissy's parents died when Cissy was still a girl.
One of the vocals beasts of all time, I, like many, did not realize she could sing this way, that she had the upper register and amazing belting technique that she had
If Dionne did not have incredible technique and musicality, as well as her latterly developed lower range, then she would not be able to sing with her present-day voice. Also a curse, in a strange way, that so many of her hits are difficult as Hell to sing. Many singers, in their prime, could not/would not touch Bacharach and David songs. Btw, that great call and answer session, with Dionne in that blue tux, is with the great Darlene Love.
Oh Dem Resonance!! 👏😍 I Never thought her Voice was this heavy. I only knew her by her 2 songs. That’s What friends are for (with Stevie Wonder) & I’ll never love this way again. I can totally hear her heavy voice technique & phrasing in Whitney’s voice. And Christina Aguilera’s use of that Staccato notes going up ( and or down) using the Ah ah ah vowel. Also I want to know the Lists of the songs. Especially the long notes ones. In marks 2:45 love the Long note 4:45 & 8:45 love the disco vibes. 5:10 love tue power & resonance. Also the maestro waited on her signal. 10:12 love the vocal break. 13:07 young voice. Not yet deep and powerful. Barbra Streisand took the cake on that one.
Dionne was originally a soprano (even sang first soprano for a couple groups) but by the mid/late 80s her voice has dropped quite a bit. She was a very heavy smoker. Having kids lowered her voice too. She is a mezzo now.
@@direfranchement I didn't say anything about Ms. Dionne belting a D6 on my comment. Usually, it isn't healthy nor technically a good idea to even belt a D6.
Hello Plebbie and thank’s for this upload. For me she is the definition of what is a Icon. I sure you know that she’s got a doctorat of music. She know what music is. Burt Bacharach saw that immediately. But more than that I remember that she the unique artist able to sing Promises Promises, the hardest pop song ever wrote.
What I love about Dionne so much is how she respects the lyrics and the story. She belts when the song calls for it, gets dreamy and reflective and wistful when the words read like poetry. She's not performative, never showing off. Just delivering what she thinks the song is about. I'm still haunted by her versions of "One Less Bell to Answer" or "Make it Easy on Yourself".
I love me some ⭐⭐Dionne Warwick⭐⭐ I'm listening to her Box Set on CD the Arista years recordings now. Vocals are excellent for my ears. Dionne Warwick is the first Black Female Pop Singer!!!! You gotta love the LEGENDS!!!
Unequalled in terms of phrasing, timing and technique.. a voice like no one.. Her musicality is genius.. It will probably take another lifetime to have somebody of her caliber DW❤
There are certain notes that all of these family members sing alike, I hear Auntie Cissy and Cousin Whitney in her voice for sure. Miss Dionne in her prime sounded like a lower version of her cousin Whitney.
Someone needs to make a video "Dionne and Whitney note by note". they sound similar in some areas and they have a similar vocal technique and approach of singing.
I wouldn't even ever say her voice was damaged from smoking! She sang like THIS full power resonance and range for 3 to 4 decades. Of course it's drastically less now she's quite old and you can't sustain the same sound and range forever.
@@jjang8725 I don't really think Patti's voice turned mezzo honestly. Check out her singing in mid 2010s at one of Seth Rudetsky's shows. She sings a lot of Evita's songs there.
Her dynamics are my favorite thing about her singing! Also, to my ears you mislabeled a lot of the high notes, especially the E5's(many were actually high F's)
I would really say Whitney’s style of belting and songs themselves is much closer to that of Dee Dee Warwick. Whitney’s friends are on record saying that Dee Dee was her ‘hero’ too, so it’d make sense. Check out live clip of her singing ‘Thank God’. You’ll see it there.
Only a fool would underestimate Dionne Warwick. Sure, she's considered an Alto or Contralto but Dionne can actually out-belt many sopranos in chest and mixed register. Also, Dionne has always been wise enough to hide her power and range at the start of every performance, exposing these vocal hallmarks only in key moments to amaze the audience. Although her cousin Whitney Houston is regarded as the most vocally powerful female singer in history, Dionne - during her prime - actually had a wider belting range than Whitney. Watch.
Her voice has changed but in these clips, she is most definitely a Mezzo Soprano. Tone, Stamina, Range, and Vocal coloring all support that she was and may still be a Mezzo Soprano.
Mark everything you stated is on point!!! Everything!!!! To add, Ms. Dionne makes it looks easy and she rides a bit on softer times and that is where people get lost. When actually, going from softer to belted tones are the most difficult to do. She a brilliant and clever one of a kind iconic legend!!
@@KajiVocals lmao. Everybody that belts a g5's gotta be a soprano. No way Dionne was a soprano. She was and still is a mezzo soprano, only with a diminished range. It doesn't matter if she was taking the high parts in her group.
@@maxpotential-4074 humans can't be tall as 8ft, that's impossible right, I'm sorry. Some people have impossible features. Dint generalise every singer into what is humanly possible. Because of all creatures, humans have a lot of outliers, in height, weight, physique, bone structure and more. It may not be possible for the average human, but we see new things every day😂😅
Dionne is a tasteful belter, but I find her phrasing, timing, and mastery to be her superior qualities.
She’s a very stylish a d sophisticated singer

Honestly, her dee dee Whitney cissy all kind of sound the same

No one can hold a note as clean as Dionne
actually even tho they are fantastic , none of her notes are clean,,, thats what makes the magic
What's even more impressive than some of them belts is how she can pull back on the power and volume of belts and high notes in chest voice. It's really beautiful because you can tell how careful she is. It's easy to let loose and just shout and scream every high note or belt. Her control is perfection
this exactly!!
Yes❤
Oh my gosh. Whitney got some of her mannerisms from Dionne. I love Ms.Warwick. Always a class act. These belts are sick!
Most definitely, they even have a slight physical resemblance.
I can see Whitney's mannerisms in her. Dionne really was the blueprint
I’d actually say Whitney’s style and belting was much closer to that of Dee Dee Warwick.
It’s the hands for me. I see Whitney’s mannerisms too
They were cousins
Lol I said the same thing, soon as I saw the thumbnail. 👏
Well, they are close family members. Often mannerisms are similar.
Dionne is a singer with a slightly odd sound. Sort of crackly. Totally appealing! I think her technique and style were among the best. Wonderful tone, timber and phrasing, unique vocal runs. She's a total original. People talk about the vocal decline she now shows, but they don't talk about what remains--her incredible understanding of working with a melody and judicious service of the lyrics--again, incredible technique.
And to add, age just becomes a disadvantage on any person when they reach the mellow stage, age advances and u can't go against it. Dionne has been smoking but not even once has she failed to perform, she just has this emerse breath and energy u can't compare, that is why even today at her very advance age she still sings.❤
She is a very classy singer. I always thought her voice had a certain 'frailty' in it maybe a congenital 'defect', but it made her sound even more distinctive. I still find her singing appealling to this day.
13:18 is crazy. The effortlessness and beauty
She's an incredible belter!
I want someone to tell me why they have not given a tribute to her career at the Grammy Awards to this great and unique singer
Very strong chest voice with incredible fluidity and control
Right her chest voice is very resonant.
Always hitting Bb4, she loves that note 😂🔥
She has such an amazing chest voice! This is what amazing chest development sounds like!
I really want people to celebrate her vocal ability more
Never knew she was a vocal beast. Only knew her at her weekend smoky voice because of my age
People don’t really care for her because of her tone, it’s not really pleasant
@@simonyanga9551 I would say I find her tone unpleasant only because I knew of her from 90s onward when her time wasn't that pleasant but because of UA-cam I see her younger videos her tone I my opinion was phenomenal. It dint realize she was that good a singer

Only Aretha F has as many charted hits as Dionne during rock era
