- Miss Warwick singing one of her earliest records live in 1967. Singing to you "Don't Make Me Over". Ladies & Gentlemen may i present you the "Empress of Easy" Miss Dionne Warwick.
This woman is the greatest female vocalist of our lifetime. Her unique phrasing and delivery have been copied by many, and replicated by none. Her gift to us will always stand the test of time. Thank you Miss Dionne
Dionne Warwick brought me here, not anyone else
A truly gifted singer!!!! That hair style is still working today. Love this lady
This song sends shivers down my spine.
Yes
It sure does, wow 👍
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people compare one singer to another. For example, one of my friends is always saying that "Dionne is not half the singer that Aretha Franklin is..." To which I always respond: "They're very different!" Besides, how can anyone not hear, feel, and appreciate Dionne's exquisite (even delicate) vocal tone. Every time I listen to Dionne I am transported to another place and time. And it's her uniquely beautiful voice that does that!
This song has a quiet, but meaningful drama and emotion that is difficult to describe and to replicate. One of the best!
Dionne was my favorite singer through most of the 60s and 70s. Bought every album. I saw her in New York at The Copa during the cabaret years in the early 70s. Super good, of course. She had more vocal style than six current singing stars.
Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Dionne Warwick. Hard to beat.
Bachrach-David-Warwick. The Gold Standard of their time!!!
Who else watching in 2017.Lady Di looks beautiful😍.Her style was way ahead of her time
I heard that when Burt Bachrack first decided to make Miss Warwick a star he gave his friend Marlene Dietrich some money and told her to "do something with MIss Warwick. " So Miss Dietrich had some gowns made for Miss Warwick and had her hair styled and shaped. Hence Mr. Bachrack's new creation....Miss Dionne Warwick.

I had not heard that, but it makes sense since Bacharach was Marlene Dietrich’s arranger and bandleader for her late touring years. Dionne Warwick had stunning and dramatic features and it would take somebody with Dietrich’s deep knowledge of lighting and makeup to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative for mid- to late 20th century popular tastes. Burt Bacharach is a very clever man with impeccable taste.
Who would dare compare Candice's performance on America Idol to this vocally dynamic pot gold. Dionne's arrangement and tone are on another level.
True. Many claimed Candice's version is "better" than Dionne's. Nobody could ever touch Dionne's version of this song.
@@ProximaCentauri88 agree. Its like they are still kids and too young to understand the great vocal in dionne
I love the dramatic mood of this song. Songs nowadays are really lacking in this area. I feel sorry for today's youth.
An incomparable performance by the original Lady Di! The combination of Burt Bacharach penned songs that were sung by Lady Dionne was an unbeatable pairing.
Later she went into the Vegas circuit and sort of went away.
Joe Carlton Don't forget Hal David!
Dionne Warwick is my favorite vocalist of all time. Don't Make Me Over is of my favorites from Miss Dionne. 50 years and still as amazing as ever.
Ditto Mr. Smith, can't get any classier than Miss Dionne.
Amen. My all time fave song is Walk On By. No one can sing like Miss Dionne.
Can Miss Warwick still reach those high notes?
I agree. This was Miss Warwick's golden magical period.
JACK ANTHONY
Lol no! I can’t either, and I daresay you can’t either!
I don’t hear anybody singing with her range, tone and clarity right now.
NO ONE COMPARES TO THE QUEEN OF SONG...LONG LIVE QUEEN DIONNE~
Here in 2019 ❤️❤️❤️ Love you Dionne
2020
That's how you SING A SONG Dionne XXX
I never knew Ms. Dionne Warwick had such an amazing Career! First heard of her in and saw her performances in the 80's. Never knew her Career Span goes back to the late 60's. WOW!!! Many artist over the years Sampled her music.
TheBrownIsland ...and she conquered them all. One of the most magical voices of all time. Delighted you have had the pleasure of discovering more of her work. This was her first hit in 1963. Burt Bacharach honored her, long before it was easy for African Americans. She spent much of her youth living in Paris, where all artists were treated equally.
allymayful Thanks for the info on her.
She was more of a crossover than Aretha. She was probably the highest paid female in the business 1967-1971 since she's the one who sold the most. In spite of that, her recording company at the time didn't keep track of the sales so no one knows the exact number. She truly was appreciated at the time!
I'm sure at least the IRS must have kept track of the sales. "Someone" knows the exact number of sales as that much money made does not go unclaimed by some dirty hands.
THEBROWNISLAND: Miss Warwick had her first hit in 1962...so her career actually goes back to the early 60's.
Yes!! Dionne Warwick was one of the best singers of all time! And she will always be an icon ! She was Awesome! 😌💜
my father said dionne warwick is one of the great singer on 60's - 200000000 and one of the ferformer who got a many grammy award !! and 17 yrs old she started in singing!! " the simply queen"
Such an amazing generation of music and performers!
None of these modern-day screamers can touch Dionne Warwick.
This is music, they make noise.
Being old brought me here ...
oh, man! that was outstanding!!
dionne warwick rules!!
the Bacharach/David/Warwick team sure made some great songs!
MUCH better than the studio version!!! Love her vocals and the arrangement. Grand and glorious!!!
I bow to you Miss Dionne. You are one classy lady....
Beautiful song, sung by a lovely lady..
Dionne Warwick was and is still one of the best female vocalists of any generation and of any genre. She is so talented and beautiful. This song is the song that started her long and lastin career. Thanks for the post and the memories.
I just LOVE your voice. One of best singers all over the world!
Wow! It has been a long time since I have heard this Masterpiece... I have forgotten just how good this song is, with Dionne Warwick singing it...One of My favorite Female vocalists... She really put everything into it, and this is the result....
Just seen the FABULOUS Ms Dionne Warwick in concert. she was in Manchester U.K. Also accompanied with Mary Wilson (Supremes), Roberta Flack, and the Drifters. Dionne looked STUNNING, and was amazing she will be 75 on Dec 12th.Do please do more concerts Dionne. It was an evening that I will cherish forever. All the artists were amazing, considering all the ages Mary 71, Roberta 78!!! Don't think many of today's artists will be singing well into their 70s ha.
I am SO jealous! glad you enjoyed
It's impossible to sustain a 30+ year career these days music works 800% faster than the past. Instead of an 10 year era of staple music genre it changes every 2 years.
What a lovely woman, 50 years later, I'm still in love with Dionne.
My most favourite singer of David-Bacharach tunes!
What a voice.
Man o man o man. The memories of all my old girlfriends of the 60s and 70s. Thanks to all of you.
A true diva. Simply fabulous!
Just saw the Burt Bacharach concert in London. I was blessed to see this legend again in the flesh. Just a small pity that Dionne didn't appear, even just to sing this song. But a marvellous era and music that hasn't been bettered since by anybody. Thank you Burt B and Hal D for your contribution to 20th century music!
for me one of the most outstanding singers of 20th century..
Glad you choose to join the club of those who knew what was worth listening to. Dionne set the bar, and no one has topped it yet
Year I was born, so beautiful
Dionne will always be A PRINCESS OF CLASS A#1 She is To Be
HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM! She has stood the test of time SIX DECADES. She must be treasured as one of OUR, ICONS!
Glee is definitely good for rediscovering the good old music. I've always been a fan of music from the 60's and 70's and this one is a classic i didn't know of yet. Thank you Glee! And thank you miss Dionne ;-)
Watching this video 50 years later. Gemme like for it. And also for being 50 years old (born Feb 1967)Stgo CL
Always loved this musical combination, artist, composer...since the '60's. Then one day,many,many years later, I was shopping in Nordstroms, Bellevue and suddenly 4 gigantic men come walking down the aisle and in the middle of them was this tiny woman draped in fur walking passed me. It was Miss Warwick! I nearly fainted...what a thrill. She was there promoting a fragrance or something. Good times!
boy dionne sure was a
heart stopper back then, I use to play her records a least 30 times a day when I was 12, and when she use to come on the ed sulluvan show, I was too thrilled, boy what a women she was.
Thumbs up if Sybil - Don't Make Me Over brought you here.
Dionne's voice could never be matched...never ever never...
Wow, I was born that year but I my mom loved her and I grew to love her music too. She is amazing classy lady :D
A Class Act , unlike her relative. No scandals. Old School, Legend. They should remaster, this classic, it is deserving.
Oh God! I would kill to see this great singer in concert. She is like no other.
Miss Warwick can no longer reach all of those beautiful high notes she is known for.
whenever I come across Dionee I can never help but hear and see Whitney-to-come
Beautiful song , Beautiful Performance, Beautiful Woman...
so lovely, so lovely .... have loved her all my life...saw her with Gladys in London just a few months ago...still fantastic..truly an icon.
I was 5 when this song was hight in the pop charts.. : )
Ha! I was just 23 & climbing the corporate ladder. Made it to President, traveled the US, made lots of money, loved a few women...& here I am back listening to this fabulous song!
A Pullara
Wow!
I visited my brother at university of illinos in 1968 this record brings me back to that very special time
Burt Bacharach and Hal David have become the "official" songwriters of my trips to my local shopping mall. Tonight, I needed a Bacharach/David song to describe my experience as a 56-year-old trying to buy a tasteful dress, and as I rode the escalator between levels, I knew that this had to be the song. Accept me for what I am - older than the ideal demographic.
Dionne the best..Love ya girl...the first time i saw Dionne was at the Bklyn Fox in Brooklyn NY back in Dec. 62..
This is real real art...
Another classic and outstanding song written by Burt Bacharach sung by the truly gifted voice of Dionne Warwick.
Look at the style, class, grace, sophistication, beauty and talent. Dionne was and is one of the Greatest. She is a Living Legend.
No one will ever be as good as Dionne x
Don’t make me over, Anyone who had a heart and Valley of the dolls sung by Dionne Warwick can bring tears to your eyes with emotion. One of the best
legendary diva, i think she don't get enough credit for what she does!!
omg. i never saw what he looked like in her 20s until now. she was stunning!
underrated burt bachrach tune
Dionne was one of the greatest singers of all time.
My Dad had a few of her LP's and i'd crank up the record player. Sadly my Dad passed away and I thank him for getting me into music like this.
Dionne is simply beautiful here.
Voice and all!
I had goose bumps just listening to this song! Wow !
The only thing I can say is: This is from outer space!
I'm still in 1967..
Better place, happier days :)
A TIMELESS CLASSIC...HER INTRO IS SURREAL..HER VOICE STREAMS IN WITH A KIND OF MAGIC....
I never saw this young; she was beautiful.
back in the day, we never compare artists. we accept them for what they brought to the table. You never would have a conversation that compares artist with another. That's the consequence of this generation. they can't seem to accept the artist for themselves.
Precious beautiful song.....and sung by the best, Dionne Warwick!!!!!!!!!!!
Songs like this make one realize the depressing fact that we are really in a Dark Ages of music and creativity compared to the 60's and 70's.
Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful woman.
How about masterpiece! Perfect soul/pop! Still my fave Dionne record.
WOW what a talented woman EXCELLENT A great Soul searching tune
one of favorite by the lady. cissy houston's niece. when she and burt teamed up, the world was blessed.
Dionne sounds great and I remember her when I was a kid watching her on the rock 'n roll shows. Her teeth was always a wreck back then and she had major work on them during her tv appearances but she kept on trucking. I can see Whitney in her when Whitney was a young girl just soaring with her song How Do I Know. Its called FAMILY BLOOD.
gua! you`re so right! No one can do it like Dionne.
Dionne will always be the PRINCESS OF CLASS A#1 She is To Be
HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM!
magic black women
One of the greatest singers ever. Burt Bacharac had her sing just about ever great song he wrote. She studied music in college. She had her own style and pure talent. Used to have a lot of her records..
There is only one Dionne. Nobody sounds like her. Ever.
congratulations! Wonderful! I love miss dionne! greetings from Brazil!
the words cant express enough the feelings of a love to another
She had a very exotic look..like a jungle cat. Great voice! Legendary star
SHE IS THE WOMAN!.THANKYOU
there is so much soul into this song....
i just love it..
I heard this song about 18 months ago and couldn't get it out of my head; was unsure who sung it etc. Then I put sound hound on my android - hummed the catch line and hey presto, up it came.
Still obsessed by the haunting quality of her voice.
Thanks for posting.
Divine and ethereal beauty in her music.....!!!!
She looks and sounds great in that "little black dress". Thanks for posting.
Enchanting
I will never forget the first time you sent me this song. It made my heart melt and fall for you. After what we had and went through, I couldnt wish for a better love. As I am listening to this song, I realized how wrong and regretful I am now that I wanted you to change for thinking that it would be better for us. I am sorry. So sorry. Not until now do I know it is you that I love. Thank you for 2 years we had. You will always be in my heart, habibi.
Dionne Warwick is my eternal idol,and I never will forget you.
yes and that's why these songs still are around!
Me encanta esta canción, la escucho desde los 17 años.... Gracias Dionne
really one of the most beautiful songs.
I'm floored by her performance.
Her's is a gift to the world. There is such a beautiful vulnerability to her performances. Sing forever Dionne.
