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. She enjoyed a hugely successful career, becoming the second most successful female performer of the past 50 years in terms of Hot 100 hits (behind Aretha Franklin).

Editorial Reviews

2008 Inspirational album from the Soul/Pop diva. As soulful as she is sophisticated in her distinctive vocal stylings, five-time Grammy-winning superstar Dionne Warwick is a globally beloved music icon and humanitarian. Warwick first climbed the charts in 1962 with her debut hit single, 'Don't Make Me Over', penned by Burt Bacharach and Hal David-she emerged as the foremost interpreter of their compositions, and remains so. Over the course of an illustrious, hit-filled career that's endured more than 45 years and spans five decades, Rhino. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Dionne Warwick is a true legend who in recent years has not received deserved exposure yet continues to amaze and entertain as only she can and "Why We Sing" is a return to her Gospel roots and this inspired collection is a winning one...in great voice with glorious arrangements and awesome duet partners such as Dee Dee Warrick, BeBe Winans and son David Elliott, Dionne has created a gorgeous masterpiece that lifts the spirit and satisfies the soul...Bravo Dionne & Company!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Return to Greatness, April 3, 2008

This review is from: Why We Sing (Audio CD)
Why We SingAs a lifetime fan and listener of Dionne Warwick recordings, I am qualified to make this statement. Her current release, "Why We Sing", is her best original content CD of the last 20 years. It's as good a work as anything from her musical heyday in the 1960's. Every song selection is top notch allowing Dionne's vocal gifts to shine and soar as the recording star that she is!

The songs transition divinely between various tempos and moods building upon each other till the grand finale. Dionne's patented brand of vocal seductress translates with great success to her approach to Gospel. The selected material sounds as if it were written just with her in mind to interrupt.

The title song is simply a standout as it is performed in harmony with her sister, Dee Dee. Anyone who's ever enjoyed a stirring Dionne performance or has a love of Gospel music should consider adding this to your collection. I'm sure you'll discover the love and sensitivity of a powerful vocalist singing praises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rise, Shine and Give Dionne the Glory!, April 14, 2008

This review is from: Why We Sing (Audio CD)
Dionne Warwick is a true visionary when it comes to music. She can interpret lyrics like no other. Her ability to convey emotion through song is unparralled. In an age of shallow and uninspired music, we have this gem known as "Why We Sing". This wonderful return to greatness, for one of the most talented female vocalists of all time, is a joy to listen to. The music is soulful, uplifting and passionate. If you are a fan of great music or are just tired of the same old thing, do yourself a favor and discover one of the best albums Dionne Warwick has ever recorded.
