Biography

Dionne Warwick emerged from a background providing soulful backing vocals for artists such as Ben E. King, to eventually taking the lead in singing the beautiful pop songs that Burt Bacharach and Hal David would write for her.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 11, 2003

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have recently become very interested in these songs (songs from my youth.) I had about 1/3 of this album on mp3 files and wanted the other songs available here.

Much to my disappointment, this album does not sound very good. While completely listenable, it sounds muddy and veiled. When comparing the same track back-to-back with my mp3 files, my older files always sounded clearer with better defined bass. This was true even though the mp3 files had a lower bit rate!

I am crushed, because I had hoped to obtain a "definitive" recording of these great songs. I guess I'll keep looking.

This album does not sound awful, and I will listen to it in my car where the differences may not be as noticeable. If you're looking for a "great" recording of these songs, I advise that you keep looking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor audio quality ruins great music, February 28, 2004
By 
I LOVE Dionne Warwick. Imagine my disappointment when I played this CD and from the opening track heard hiss and noise. Then on track two, "What the World Needs Now," there's so much distortion it makes the gorgeous song essentially unlistenable. And so on through the album. I'm going to recycle the disc through a used CD store, and get a different collection with better sound. Sorry, I don't yet know which one might be the best -- but it isn't this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dionne singing classic Bacharach!, September 2, 1999
By 
C. P. Donnellan (Montclair, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the music you have heard in countless elevators and department stores - and it never sounded better. Bacharach's music was deceptively simple-sounding while containing tricky key changes and sharps and flats. Dionne navigates it all as if she were singing a children's tune. Pure '60's and early '70's! Great for a theme party!
