Master Class by the one and only Miss Dionne Warwick!
Ms. Dionne can massage the h*ll out of her notes, phrases, and lyrics. She is such an amazing iconic vocalist/songstress!!! Anybody caught the high headvoice @2:47!! Her vocal are so tricky and one of a kind❤
❤
I agree that very few singers can perform a song live and sound even better than the recorded version
It is obvious why Dionne Warwick had wanted "Make It Easy On Yourself" to be her first release in 1963. She caresses every lyric like no other singer has done in the history of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David song!!! I am so glad that she had the opportunity to perform these hits of hers on "Solid Gold" along with the other material that she had sung for the show.
This video is remarkably clear and the sound is as well, so clear, in fact, that it is hard to believe that it is from October 1980. "Solid Gold" was really a busy and fast-moving show!!! If you had missed a moment, you had missed a lot. This performance is simply divine!!!
Thank you, Michael, for continuing to upload and share your outstanding archive of "Solid Gold" materials!!! They and we were and are so very fortunate that you were their musical director and had composed the theme song and that you help keep the legacy of the show and all who were associated going and reinvigorated online here on UA-cam. You are one of a kind. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for your wonderful words, as always, and I’m glad you enjoyed another installment from the Time Machine!
@@bigeyezzzzzzz You are welcome!!! It is the Michael Miller Time Machine at it again with these irresistible blasts from the past!!! It was a songapalooza every episode.
She always sounds and looks BEAUTIFUL!
Not being a singer, I am intrigued by her lips that shape the sounds only with smallest movements.... it's like a constant gentle smile❤
My all time favorite Dionne song

Some parts of the piano arrangement remind me of "The Greatest Love of All", fantastic song.
Thanks for uploading this!
This is a great live version. The record company should have still have allowed her to release this as single after Don’t Make Me Over.
Before Whitney there was Dionne!
