God what can I say? She's so amazing it's hard to describe. Her timbre, dynamics, control and phrasing are other worldly. I've heard them all, Striesand, cousin Whitney name 'em. Dionne just has something no one else has. Just listening to her can bring me to tears. I'm 67 in a few months. I remember her voice being the soundtrack of my life in the 60's. She hits me in the chest like a torpedo. Love you Dionne.

Dionne is one of my favorites. She is so underrated as Diana, especially in their own community. They can take standards & love songs & bring out richness in them & yet give it a unique & proper soulful interpretation, where all cultures, generations, & races are spell bound. Her low resonance is just as good when she is high; that’s control & tonality & ability to follow music with a beautiful interpretation. Patti Labelle, etc. can’t sing this, so I wish others would recognize Dionne.

Thanks a lot, that must have been "Love to love you baby" then.
It's ashame so many know her strictly from the psychic network commercials.

MMAFighter38 you are cute ,,,
@slightofffist Like I said- a great singer. But whew !
NOW I SEE WHERE WHITNEY GOT IT FROM!!
The wrong song to give the whole works on. Listen to Cilla Black or Tracey Thorn's version to get a much simpler, from a girl, version that fits much better, I think.

There is a reason songs like this were literally written for Dionne Warwick to sing
the best is Dionne! Dianna Krall and Sheryl Crow sound amateurish.

No need of that because we get them all, and don't have to choose. Diana Krall is great in her own right. Like Dionne, DK has done stuff with her own brand name on it that will stand the test of time - and then some. Sheryl Crow doesn't deserve to be dissed here because she's not in the same crooner category. Apples/Oranges with Sheryl. To label either of them as "amateurish" is immature - ish.
For me this was better sung by Cilla Black.
A great singer. Too bad she is such a terrible person , ie the AIDS charity scandal, psychic network, and her horrifying behavior on celebrity apprentice. For shame Dionne!

She was so magnificent....and then came her cousin Whitney. The two of them gave this world some of the best music we shall ever hear. Both of them were class acts in their prime.

DaOrig Truth Seeker - I'm writing this reply to you now on 1/11/2020 - the Lady Dionne is still touring with her magnificent voice - She's top notch and her voice, although lower pitch at age 70 plus is still touching hearts and souls.

They were both class acts no matter the age
