Not surprised - in all her performances - either in a closed studio production like this video, or in front of a full blown live orchestra on a outdoor festival stage, she just walks right on, doesn't miss a beat finding her spot, and invariably nails it on the very first note, no matter how difficult - it's stunning craftsmanship

Burt Bacharach just passed, Feb 2023. He wrote the music, Hal David was the lyricist on all those classic Dionne Warwick records. RIP.

My big sister was listening to her in the late 60s. I was much younger, but noticed something special in her voice and the songs written for her. She sang songs that many singers today could not pull off due to the harmonic content and floating/changing time signatures. Absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏾👏🏾❤️

I believe that Dionne started out singing Gospel music. To this day I have never heard a vocalist with a more beautiful tone to their voice. Her songs are sheer poetry and mezmerizes her audience as she sings her narratives. IMHO, there has never been a better musical team than Dionne, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their songs have remained timeless for six decades. 😅

Dionne owns this beautiful song for all time., her talent is phenomenal. The great composer Burt Bacharach spotted her wonderful voice and was instrumental in helping her popularity to soar. Love his musical arrangement of this piece.

The story of the 1960's would be empty without that voice and such a gracious lady. We suffered strife in the era but music such as this balanced an unbalanced world.

Dionne Warwick is celebrating her 81 birthday today, December 12, 2021 She was born in Orange, New Jersey on December 12, 1940. She is an American singer, television host, and former Goodwill Ambassador for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest US hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on her chart history on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart. She is one of the most-charted female vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998 (12 of them Top Ten), and 80 singles in total - either solo or collaboratively - making the Hot 100, R&B and/or adult contemporary charts

There is a fragility in her voice, something very delicate that matches up so well with the music and lyrics. For me nothing captures the atmosphere of early to mid 60s like Dionne Warwick singing Bacharach/David.
