Hahah I don't think it's so much that Black people actively disliked Dionne, but that she built a career on music made for White audiences that didn't really appeal to Black audiences. She was never an R&B or Soul artist...in fact, she recorded an album in the 1960s that was specifically supposed to be one of her singing "soulfully" as opposed to the way she normally sang which was essentially Pop or Easy Listening. She also made an album that was supposed to be Gospel (The Magic of Believing), but she didn't have a singing style suited to delivering gospel and really had no audience base to sell that album to, so it was quickly forgotten. Whenever she has been asked in interviews about artists she looked up to, she usually cites Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll, Sammy Davis Jr. These are all Black artists of course, but none of them were R&B and they had mostly White fanbases. Black people admired these singers for carving out success in the mainstream at a time when opportunity for upward mobility for Black people was largely nonexistent outside of entertainment, but they weren't the ones buying their records. I think Black people view Dionne very much in the same way.
@@direfranchement Her music wasn't made for "white people", it was made for an international audience. The goal was for her to be an international star and not just another typical black r&b singer. It's the same thing with Diana Ross and the Supremes and Whitney Houston and guess what? Black people don't like them either. They even booed Whitney Houston and called her "Whitey Houston" cause they're too stupid to appreciate great talent and they view race in every single thing. If you're not singing r&b, then you're a sell out to the "white man" according to black people. 🙄
Before Whitney there was Cousin Dionne & the world's a better place! Happy Birthday, Dionne🎉❤
I would sing this song on the top of my lungs when I was 5 and told my parents that it was my favorite song.
