One of Warwick's more consistent efforts post her Scepter, Bacharach/David glory days. That's What Friends are For holds up the best of the 80s cause songs. Whisper in the Dark is one of her few successful forays into a time's dance music modes. But the gem is the last cut, Extravagent Gestures that reunites her with Burt Bacharach, with a song that probably was the first he wrote exclusively for her in a decade. The lyricist, Sager, is no Hal David, but the song reminds you of all the music lost when Bacharach/David and Warwick fell out in the 1970s.

Here another brilliant C.D. of timeless songs given Dionne's sheer professionalism, such an amazing singer with a marvellous opening song "Friends" joined by other singers of repute Gladys Kinght, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder. Every song having a different sound and all delightful to listen to by a singer of such inimitable talent. Hard to say which song rates best as all are amazing but "No one there to sing me a love song" I think personally is a classic!

This is a very fine album of songs from Dionne. I love "Whispers In the Dark", "That's What Friends Are For" and all the other songs. Her voice is strong and sleek throughout! Get this album, you won't regret it!!!

In late 1985,Dionne Warwick graced radio airwaves with THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR. She is joined by three FRIENDS on that song. They are Stevie Wonder whose harmonica begins the song,Gladys Knight and Elton John. MOMENTS AREN'T MOMENTS,written by Wonder,first appeared on the soundtrack from the 1984 film,THE WOMAN IN RED. All the other songs are good. Between this album,1982's HEARTBREAKER and 1987's RESERVATIONS FOR TWO,only this album is still in print in the United States.

Dionne, shines as always. Is there is artist who sings so effortfully yet so well. Dionne has always had very few singers who can match her artistry in the music business. This CD, does nothing but help maintain her status as the reigning Queen of smooth Pop!!!

Soothing delights for all occasions. Well blended pop and adult contemporary gems. Dionne delivers her usual magic with this release. A safe buy for those wanting something to keep as an evergreen over the years. Not as powerful as her Barry Manilow production but this puts her back on track in being the best in the MOR music genre. A most respectable gift that will be cherished and remembered during special moments.

I Loved this cd. I just discovered Dionne Warwick, and I really like her. I even found a lot of her later abulms, that are out of print, like How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye, Reservations For Two, Without Your Love, Love At First Sight, No Night So Long and others, and I liked all the songs, and I would like to see them become aviable again.

girl you go. cause you can really sang.I just love your voice. Can you please do me a favot can you make a duet with your cousin Whitney Houston I really think it would be a hit. Love ya much

This release is a reissue of "Dionne Sings Dionne". It has tracks from Warwick's post-Arista years (1998--2001). Not a good buy. Cover pic is awful. She looks tired with no makeup and a ball cap on top of her nappy head!

This is a poor collection of overblown pop music. Weak in every aspect
