    Dionne was not a R&B singer, she was not a Pop singer, she was just a top notch vocalist. Anything sung by Miss Warwick was outstanding.

      Not surprised - in all her performances - either in a closed studio production like this video, or in front of a full blown live orchestra on a outdoor festival stage, she just walks right on, doesn't miss a beat finding her spot, and invariably nails it on the very first note, no matter how difficult - it's stunning craftsmanship

      Having ties to Dionne and Aretha were well-known facts from the first moment she stepped on stage. Clive Davis made sure of it. She sure as hell didn't inherit her long, lean physique or performing style from Cissy. That's for sure lol Seems like the older Whitney got the more she was starting to look like Dionne.

    To this day I have never heard a vocalist with a more beautiful tone to their voice. Her songs are sheer poetry and mezmerizes her audience as she sings her narratives.
    IMHO, there has never been a better musical team than Dionne, Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
    Their songs have remained timeless for six decades. 😅

    The Queen, absolutely the best. The emotion in her voice tore into your heart. I'm 63, listening since the early 60's, there have been many greats but no one can compare to Dionne. You think Burt might have known something? Her songs still pull me in after all these years.

    When you have heard the best, the rest can only be a complement or a weak imitation .Dionne Was the standard that all the rest of the singers mentioned in the preceding post tried to duplicate.Dionne voice made the song writers rich as her superior interpretive and tender embrace of the lyrics were so powerful and compelling with out equal, a Goddess in Human Form.

    This amazing song performed by this amazing woman was heard across America in the AM radio pop music days of the 1960s. A hauntingly beautiful expression of love by the amazing Dionne Warwick. Composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist colleague Hal David rounded out this phenomenal trio of music artisans. Powerful stuff. God is great.

    My granddad loved this woman. I remember him speaking so fondly of her. It was in the 80s. I was only a preteen, but I remember how much his heart lite up about Ms Warwick. Oddly enough I had absolutely no clue that she was Whitney’s cousin, who we (the younger generation) was falling in love with as well. We fell so far in love we named Whitney The Voice! Well Oprah did. Lol but we all agreed. Talk about serendipity!!! Both of those women wrote the song track to so many lives..😉
