Jay & Amber, You'll LOVE her "Walk On By, "I Say A Little Prayer," and "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" !!!! All three written by the legendary team of Burt Bacharach-music and Hal David-lyrics. Dionne + Hal + Burt =Timeless Music!!! edit- "Don't Make Me Over" was her first single and also written by Bacharach & David, with background vocals by the Gospelaires, which featured sister Dee Dee, Sylvia Shemwell and aunt Cissy Houston.
I LOVE Dionne! My favorite is "Promises Promises," that shows what a powerhouse Dionne is! I also love "I Say a Little Prayer For You," "Message To Michael" and "Do You Know the Way To San Jose?" There are just so many songs I can't even list them !!
Dionne Warwick's best song (to me) is I'll Never Fall in Love Again. It's the little things she does, very subtle. And it's a total vibe. From 1970. Written by Burt Bacharach.
FINALLY!!! Getting to Dionne's early stuff! She was at her best when singing Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs: Walk On By, Anyone Who Had a Heart, A House is Not a Home, etc. She had a TON of hits, one after another in the 1960s. Great, distinctive voice. Interruptions are kind of irritating, but good reaction. Thanks.
Dionne Warwick had the great voice, and could dial up the emotion after being cool. A lot of her best songs were written for her by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She was probably their first choice for their songs too. This is a deep rabbit hole! "Walk On By" "Anyone Who Had A Heart" Do You Know The Way To San Jose" "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" and I'll stop right there, there's so much more. (Her real surname was Warrick but the record company made a typo mistake on her first release so she stuck with Warwick!) Her aunt was Cissy Houston which means Whitney Houston was her cousin. I think.
@@tonimartim5056 Not quite the true story, Cissy moved in with Dionne's mother, Cissy's older sister Lee, after their parents died, so Lee helped finish raising Cissy and Lee was already having children so Cissy lived with Dionne and Dede as they all grew up in Lee's house. Incidentally, her birth name is Warrick.
Dionne Warwick was one of the greatest singers of the '60s and '70s! The song I think you'll really love is her pairing with the Spinners on "Then Came You," a #1 hit from 1974. It's Dionne's foray into Philadelphia soul!
Dionne Warwick has had a huge career spanning almost 6 decades. She had so many hits. Burt Bacharach wrote most of her best songs "Make It Easy On Yourself", "Anyone Who Had A Heart", "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?", "You're My World", "I Say A Little Prayer", "Message to Michael", "Alfie", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", "Walk On By", "(Theme from) Valley Of The Dolls", "(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me", "This Girl's In Love With You", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" etc.
There are not enough words. This is the short non-studio version. Our Ms. Warwick is the pinnacle of musical royalty. She, Hal David, and Burt Bacharach owned the 1960s. This song was penned in the beginning when she thought she was getting a raw deal and said “Don’t Make Me Over.” Being from East Orange, NJ she knew how to look out for herself! Dionne is another who has shaped my life.Try reviewing “Are You There With Another Girl,” and then “Another Night.”
Another one of many collaborations between Dionne Warwick and the great multi talented Burt Bacharach! Together they owned the classy soft sounds of the 60s & early 70s: "Walk on by", "Wish' and Hopin', "The look of Love", "Do you Know the Way to San Jose", "I say a little prayer for you", "Make it easy on yourself", "What the World needs now, is love sweet love", "I'll never fall in love Again", "Alfie". There are priceless vids of them performing together
Some fun (mostly) facts about Dionne Warwick. 1. She is Whitney Houston's auntie. 2. She sold over 100 million records, with 56 charting singles and 2 number one hits. 3. She won six Grammy awards. 4. Despite all that, she declared bankruptcy in 2013. 5. She was the favoured singer of composer Burt Bacharach. She recorded over 100 of his songs, and at least 39 of those charted. 6. She is still performing today at age 83.
Rob Squad previously did Warwick's "Heartbreaker" (1982) & "That's What Friends Are For" (1985). "Don't Make Me Over" was Warwick's first hit (late 1962-1963)
Thanks u guys. Just so u know, this was the beginning of an era. …… This was the first collaboration between Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick. It was a hit! And you can imagine in 1963, almost all female hits had to do with please love me please love me. This tune changed things. It was the 1st tune to my knowledge, at least, to sort of, throw the gauntlet down by a woman singer. She is stating her demands not just her begging to please love me. IMO coming from 73 year old man…. This tune is iconic. Thank you for your reaction to it.
Dionne Warwick was ALL over the radio and variety shows when I was young. Thanks for doing this one. I haven't heard it in decades! You definitely need to react to more of Ms Warwick's hits. "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" was a monster hit of hers. The studio version is best to listen to first but for a live performance check out when she was on the show Solid Gold -> Dionne Warwick | SOLID GOLD | “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” (10/25/1980)
Dionne’s catalog is EXTENSIVE! The most charted hits by a woman in the 60's and 70’s! And her family, the Drinkards are voices and she is also a cousin of opera legend Leontyne Price.
I grew up with this beautiful, classy and talented woman's music in my house because my parents loved her! My favorite has always been I Say a Little Prayer.
In 1963 or 64, she sang “ Anyone Who Had A Heart, “ Walk On By, “ both are great! The 60’s brought us Dionne & so many hit songs from new entertainers!👍👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’ve never heard this song before, but what a beautiful velvety voice and amazing phrasing 😍. Dionne Warwick, as others have said, is the best singer to interpret the Bacharach and David songbook.
The songs she sang during the 60’s and 70’s were written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. Burt made a cameo in Austin Powers International Man of Mystery
Well this year she finally made it into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame!!! Taco box someone who comes from a legendary music family, her second cousin is Whitney Houston and her mother was one of Elvis Presley‘s back up singers!!!😘😘😘😘👍👍👍
I don't know if you know this BUT...Dionne, Tina Turner, Aretha, Cher amongst other women were all making big come backs in their 40s. Were some of the biggest part of our 80s. It was amazing, that's what i loved the most.
Dionnes great beautiful voice and the great song writing by David & Bacharach how could this not b a hit . I loved it back in the day still do. One of the greatest songs for me!!
Dionne was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David singing backgrounds for a song they were recording. They loved her voice and decided to sign her to a contract singing demos for there songs. Lucky day for all three of them. The Bacharach/David songwriting team produced numerous chart toppers throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Female singing artists used to fight over Burt Bacharach's songs, there was many a catfight behind the scenes. Nowadays the way things are going they'll be even auto-tuning the instruments. Dionne Warwick comes from a family with several exceptional singers. Her cousin was the legendary Whitney Houston, known for her powerful voice and numerous hits. Dionne’s aunt, Cissy Houston, was also a renowned gospel and soul singer. Additionally, her sister, Dee Dee Warwick, was a successful soul singer. The family also includes the celebrated operatic soprano Leontyne Price
I only knew the 80’s/90’s cover of this song, I had no idea Dionne Warwick sang this song originally, she’s always been such a class act w/an amazing voice!
Dionne is the pride of E. Orange, NJ right down the road from where I grew up in Passaic. I love this performance of hers. It's in waltz time too. She sings with so much emotion. Her hits go on from the sixties till now!
Mrs. Warwick has got one of the most impressive catalogs of music of anyone! So many albums, and helluva lot of iconic songs. I have a personal playlist dedicated to my most favorite songs of hers; well over 50. Other artists that have impressive catalogs are Nat King Cole, and James Brown; dozens of albums. I think for both Cole and Brown, my faves of theirs counted to 90 or more songs (and those would just be of 'my' personal favorites).
She was so great. "Say a little prayer for you" is a must. "Heartbreaker" written by the Bee Gees and them singing back up, put her back on the charts!
Jay & Amber, You'll LOVE her "Walk On By, "I Say A Little Prayer," and "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" !!!!
All three written by the legendary team of Burt Bacharach-music and Hal David-lyrics. Dionne + Hal + Burt =Timeless Music!!!
edit- "Don't Make Me Over" was her first single and also written by Bacharach & David, with background vocals by the Gospelaires, which featured sister Dee Dee, Sylvia Shemwell and aunt Cissy Houston.
They picked the absolute worst Dionne song. It is almost insulting.
@@blackblake3658With that voice, she doesn't have a bad song.
Ceila Black's version is really good too
All of these are legendary tunes by her! Also, Bacharach, such an incredibly prolific songwriter.
@@blackblake3658 The song is in the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
You really need to do Walk on By.
I was about to comment that very thing!
You’re so right!
Yes they keep picking the wrong songs
Great choice
Footnote: Walk On By was recorded November 22, 1963. It’s my favorite tune by her.
That woman ruled the 60s! A legend.
"What the World Needs Now"...a lovely song by her that is very appropriate for how the world is right now.
Yes We Can Can has had me inspired. I think it's the Pointer Sisters. So positive and a message to support others.
Agreed
I thought that was sung by Dusty Springfield.
You are right 👍🏼♥️
That and her Windows of the World are very appropriate today. Check that song out.
You should check out "Heartbreaker" by Dionne Warwick. The song was written for her by Barry, Maurice & Robin Gibb!
they reacted to Heartbreaker Jan 6, 2023. The other one was That's What Friends Are For, with Elton, Gladys and Stevie.
The Bee Gees also have a version of " Heartbreaker "
I’ve had that song in my head for a few days now. I’m not complaining.
@surlechapeau. Thanks! I don't know how I missed it, I've been watching everyday for 3 years!
They did it already about a year ago.
Also try by her “Do you know the way to San Jose” and “I say a little prayer for you”
And then on cover day, do Aretha’s “Say a Little Prayer “.
I was 10 years old then. Brings tears to my eyes the minute she started 🥹😍😻🤩
"Ill Never Love This Way Again" produced By Barry Manilow. Her very best song.
I LOVE Dionne! My favorite is "Promises Promises," that shows what a powerhouse Dionne is! I also love "I Say a Little Prayer For You," "Message To Michael" and "Do You Know the Way To San Jose?" There are just so many songs I can't even list them !!
Yes. And all those are iconic.
Promises, promises really demonstrates her reach as a vocalist. Amazing performance!
A lot of people worked with Bacharach and David but with Dionne, they found their muse.
Dionne Warwick's best song (to me) is I'll Never Fall in Love Again. It's the little things she does, very subtle. And it's a total vibe. From 1970. Written by Burt Bacharach.
with amazing lyrics by Hal David. Who else rhymes pneumonia with phone ya!!!
Love this song!
Ok, but tame compared to the soul of this song
"Theme Ffom the Valley of the Dolls" is one of her best songs along with her version of "A House Is Not a Home"!
You should check out "Walk on By" by Dionne Warwick, Live 1964. Great voice, great performance.
FINALLY!!! Getting to Dionne's early stuff! She was at her best when singing Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs: Walk On By, Anyone Who Had a Heart, A House is Not a Home, etc. She had a TON of hits, one after another in the 1960s. Great, distinctive voice. Interruptions are kind of irritating, but good reaction. Thanks.
One of the best song writers (Bacharach) paired with anyone...including Carol Bayer Sager.
Please do that's what friends are for if you haven't already it has Dionne Warwick,Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder and it's awesome !!
Amber and Jay,
You will absolutely love "Deja Vu".
Dionne Warwick had the great voice, and could dial up the emotion after being cool. A lot of her best songs were written for her by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She was probably their first choice for their songs too.
This is a deep rabbit hole! "Walk On By" "Anyone Who Had A Heart" Do You Know The Way To San Jose" "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" and I'll stop right there, there's so much more.
(Her real surname was Warrick but the record company made a typo mistake on her first release so she stuck with Warwick!) Her aunt was Cissy Houston which means Whitney Houston was her cousin. I think.
Did you know Dionne is Whitney Houston’s Aunt?
They are cousins
@@pamelayoung1194 Oh! Thanks!
She is Whitney Houston's Cousin.
They're cousins. Cissy raised Dionne when her mom died.
@@tonimartim5056 Not quite the true story, Cissy moved in with Dionne's mother, Cissy's older sister Lee, after their parents died, so Lee helped finish raising Cissy and Lee was already having children so Cissy lived with Dionne and Dede as they all grew up in Lee's house. Incidentally, her birth name is Warrick.
I have always loved Dionne Warwick. As you noticed her voice is incredible. Clear and perfect on every note and syllable. Incredible talent.
I Never Love This Way Again strong vocal performance
Class tune. Her best
Dionne Warwick was one of the greatest singers of the '60s and '70s! The song I think you'll really love is her pairing with the Spinners on "Then Came You," a #1 hit from 1974. It's Dionne's foray into Philadelphia soul!
I met her once and I was struck by how tall she is snd yes, very beautiful. Statuesque. And a big broad smile.
Another really smooth voice belongs to Phoebe Snow. Her song 'Poetry Man' is amazing.
Yes!
Phoebe had a great voice .. But my clear favourite song by her is "Every Night" .. It deserves much more love from reactors.
@@wayne_twentyfive terrific song!
What I love most about her is she rarely oversings. She’s always been elegant. Her teaming with Burt Bacharach was brilliant.
Dont forget you also heard her in USA FOR AFRICA, WE ARE THE WORLD.
And I believe her, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John did " That's What Friends Are For" that, I believe, Jay & Amber have already reacted to.
@@davidahart2113and Gladys Knight.
Dionne Warwick is a national treasure and a MUSIC LEGEND! SHE WAS THE 1ST to win Grammys in the same yr for BEST POP FEMALE AND BEST R&B FEMALE .
Dionne Warwick has had a huge career spanning almost 6 decades. She had so many hits.

Dionne Warwick "Walk On By" 👌
Promises, Promises is an incredible vocal performance. It’s a difficult song for most singers, but Dionne nails it.
You reacted to That's What Friends Are For (with Stevie, Gladys, and Elton) and Heartbreaker.
Her entire catalog of classic songs is second to none.
“What do you get when you fall in love” is the best song by Dionne in my opinion! Love her!
Rob Squad previously did Warwick's "Heartbreaker" (1982) & "That's What Friends Are For" (1985). "Don't Make Me Over" was Warwick's first hit (late 1962-1963)
Thx., guess I missed some of those.
LOVE Dionne Warwick!! She is a Legend! This video had me captivated by her amazing eyes!

Do walk on by next!
and then San Jose
I approve of this message.
@@elizabethfranco1284and definitely “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” also
I got to see her live a few years ago she is still awesome and quite a spunky lady!
In 1987 an artist named Sybil covered this well worth a listen
I actually like the cover better
My favorite Dionne Warwick song.
Runs in the family. Her cousin, Whitney Houston, had similar singing skills.
Always my favorite Dionne Warwick song

Anything from the 60s by her is great. She had over 30 chart hits circa 1962-70 written by Bacharach-David, then more than another 30 hits since then.

You guys would LOVE her performance of "That's What Friends are For", with Gladys Knight and Sir Elton!
I was blessed to see her in concert a number of years ago.While her voice has aged,it has aged gracefully.A great evening of classics👍🎶 ❤️
So much, emotion ☺️touches your soul 😊💕😬
She doesn’t get enough credit for her voice & being such a significant role model!
Love me some Dionne singing Burt Bacharach/ Hal David. Don't Make Me Over, Any Old Time of Day, This Empty Place, Alfie, I could go on ...
One of the greatest female singers of all time. Burt Bacharach wrote the songs that brought out her excellence.
Burt and lyricist Hal David
Walk on By
She is a jewel!!! One of the best female singers of all time and still so very beautiful!!! So glad y'all brought her back!!!
Dionne was a powerhouse. And she didn't sing to "show off" she sang deeply in character which all great singers do.
🎶🎙 "Do you know the way to San Jose?" One of her biggest hits 👍 a must react to.
LOVE THIS, my very favorite Dionne Warwick song, and she has so many great hits.
I grew up with this beautiful, classy and talented woman's music in my house because my parents loved her! My favorite has always been I Say a Little Prayer.
Dionne Warwick is a unique Artist. ‘Walk On By’ has to be on your list of her songs!

I love when you can understand every word. This is a real singer
I don't know if you know this BUT...Dionne, Tina Turner, Aretha, Cher amongst other women were all making big come backs in their 40s. Were some of the biggest part of our 80s. It was amazing, that's what i loved the most.
Dionne Warwick’s “I Know I’ll Never Love Again” from the 80’s is powerful
Don't Make Me Over and No Night So Long are my favorite Dionne Warwick songs!
Dionnes great beautiful voice and the great song writing by David & Bacharach how could this not b a hit . I loved it back in the day still do. One of the greatest songs for me!!
I always loved her singing and what a genuine lovely person she is
Dion Warwick!! Always a good choice😊
I have always loved Dionne Warwick. For me she has the most unique inflections and the her phrasing of her song.
Dionne was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David singing backgrounds for a song they were recording. They loved her voice and decided to sign her to a contract singing demos for there songs. Lucky day for all three of them. The Bacharach/David songwriting team produced numerous chart toppers throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Dionne she has so many hits, 60s, My Go to, Love her. Also try more Al Green
Theme from “The Valley Of The Dolls” is a 💯🔥 CLASSIC!
Female singing artists used to fight over Burt Bacharach's songs, there was many a catfight behind the scenes. Nowadays the way things are going they'll be even auto-tuning the instruments.

IMO the best female voice of the 60s decade and one of the best overall
Really one of the best voices ever. I love her.
All her Hits are Amazing! I especially Love this one... Great Choice, Amber! :)
I only knew the 80’s/90’s cover of this song, I had no idea Dionne Warwick sang this song originally, she’s always been such a class act w/an amazing voice!
Dionne is the pride of E. Orange, NJ right down the road from where I grew up in Passaic. I love this performance of hers. It's in waltz time too. She sings with so much emotion. Her hits go on from the sixties till now!
Mrs. Warwick has got one of the most impressive catalogs of music of anyone! So many albums, and helluva lot of iconic songs.

Walk on By , Do You Know the Way , Say a Little Prayer, she was a regal princess of the early 60s
She was so great. "Say a little prayer for you" is a must. "Heartbreaker" written by the Bee Gees and them singing back up, put her back on the charts!
Chills, tears.
Need to do some Dinah Washingtonnn I would suggest Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, This Bitter Earth, and Teach Me Tonight !!!
"What A Difference A Day Makes" First.
Love Dion, this song is awesome , this one of my favorites of hers 👍🏼♥️🙏🏼✝️✌🏼😎
