She's not only an outstanding singer but also one of the most elegant and charismatic ladies of all time. Dionne never fails.

No smoke, no mirrors, no lasers or light shows, no back-up singers and no dancers. When you’ve got Dionne Warwick you’ve got it all in one perfect package wrapped in a Bob Mackie gown.

@@donpaladino Yeah, auto-tune was not in existence until the late 1990s and this performance is from the early 1970s, so natural talent was more necessary in that era.

Restraint, control, dynamics, phrasing, texture. Dionne's musical eloquence and beautiful voice always soothes me!

No background singers...and she fills in all the empty spaces. She's amazing at doing this and most people listening don't even realize how big the production was on the studio versions. That is skill people!

Yep. Just talked about her recorded version of 'Always Something there to remind me" SPECTACULAR about sums it up.

Her own inner voice. Her own rhythm. It’s just like Joni Mitchell. So unique. So indescribable. So brilliant. We really take these voices for granted.

Dionne Warwick, bringing to life the timeless songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Hot damn, hot damn!! The incomparable greatest vocalist of all times❤❤❤

One less bell, what a dramatic performance! I love Dionne’s ability to bring phrasing, voice control, emotion and raw talent to her ballads.

wow ... first time seeing this one ... tasty medley ... tremendous, fearless vocalist and makes it look so easy ... that light middle voice of hers is arrestingly beautiful and evocative ... those easy transitions between registers and that breathtaking bravura finish ... what an extraordinary vocalist and entertainer

Rest in musical heavenly peace Burt Bacharach 💙🎶🕊️

Couldn't wait to see her sing this live! If you haven't heard the recording of it, you have got to hear it. On the record she does stuff vocally, hits some crazy high notes, into the stratosphere. With Dionne, she always keeps things fresh when singing live, goes off the melody line at times and is so creative with a vocal. Amazing voice. And talk about a CLASS ACT.

Beautiful. Wish there were still artists like this today

These are the performances of dionne people need to see when she is fearlessly attacking songs with all abandon and just allowing the mood to dictate her choices vocally

Love this woman for all the joy she has brought into my life from my teen years to my 70’s. An amazing rare talent!

No one can do this like Dionne

Amazing and her own version of One Less Bell. Dionne was just one heck of a singer!!! I love Marilyn too. She sang this song amazingly well too. Dionne’s holding on notes and her deep to higher voice was unique and just totally amazing!!

this is a masterclass

These are 2 Great songs sang by one of the greats!

Amazing... amazing... spectacular.. thanks for sharing ❤️

What a freaking legend 💯👌

Awesome talent.

Both take by Miss Warwick and the 5th Dimensions are great but I like the way Miss Warwick gives it that different emotion that Marilyn McCoo gave it.

She is glorious!

She didn't sing this one very much live, it's so demanding vocally in that key. Had to watch it again, she only sings first verse and straight into chorus. What a singer. What a find.

One incredibly tallented woman!

Awesome performance. Pure God given talent!!

"The past can haunt a man. That’s what they say. That the past is just a series of moments. Each one perfect. Complete. A bead on the necklace of time. The past doesn’t haunt us. Wouldn’t even recognize us. If there are ghosts to be found… it’s us who haunt the past. We haunt it… so we can look again. See the people we miss… and the things we missed about them. I see you fully now. Your darkness and your light. Shimmering… like the city at dusk when it’s most beautiful." Nick Bannister REMINISCENCE Tell me a story. A story? What kind of story? One with a happy ending. No such thing as a happy ending. All endings are sad. Especially if the story was happy. REMINISCENCE

Such a classy performance. She commanded my attention with minimal movement while her body is beautifully covered, although we know she has a great figure under there!

Simply stunning ❤

Perfection!

Que saudade das músicas boas.

Super!!!

I am a fan of Dionne (that's why I am here) but I prefer the 5th Dimension version of One Less Bell to Answer. I think Dionne also originally passed on What the World Needs Now, The Look of Love and reluctantly did Alfie. Great talent.

@@floydlawson3765 The Marilyn McCoo Fifth Dimension rendition is the best version, although Dionne Warwick comes close, but in a different style. Both versions, like most, are cover versions, however. Keely Smith was the first major artist to record "One Less Bell To Answer" and that was in 1967 and why The Fifth Dimension recorded theirs in 1970, as their producer Bones Howe had come across that recording and thought it would be a good fit for The Fifth Dimension, so that is how theirs came to be.

​​@@marion71355Yes, they used the boom overhead mics through the 1980s and 1990s and possibly still on television talk shows. They used them on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" through his end as host in 1992 and while Jay Leno was his regular fill-in from 1987 to 1992. The boom mics were sometimes visible in camera range when Johnny Carson hosted "Tonight" on the NBC television network and occasionally bumped him on the head, which made for laughs from his in-studio audience. "The Carol Burnett Show" aired on the CBS television network, originally from 1967 to 1978, then in rerun syndication in 30 minute shows called "Carol Burnett And Friends" that are still in rerun syndication. Carol Burnett recently turned 90 years old. Dionne Warwick is 82 years old. The particular clip here is likely from 1972, as that is when the Dionne Warwick rendition of "One Less Bell To Answer" had been released on her 1972 Warner Brothers "Dionne" album. That song had been written for singer Keely Smith and her version had been released in 1967 and then Marilyn McCoo and her band The Fifth Dimension made a cover version in 1970 that is maybe the best known of all of them and many others have sung that song, but Dionne Warwick gave it her smooth sound and style and it has become maybe the second-best known version, as more exposure has occurred on KZread. Dionne Warwick was a frequent television talk show guest and performer.

The song "Always Something To Remind Me", sometimes written "(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me" was released in 1968 by Dionne Warwick and is a Burt Bacharach-Hal David song. It was remade by the British New Wave band Naked Eyes in 1983 and became a hit for them. "One Less Bell To Answer" is a 1967 song for Keely Smith, 1970 song for Marilyn McCoo and her Fifth Dinension band, and a 1972 song for Dionne Warwick on her 1972 "Dionne" album. This video performance appears to be from 1972 or somewhat later, as her hairstyle was that way then and it was released by her in 1972.

​​@@dianne6155Yes, it was Naked Eyes that did the 1983 remake of "(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me". I corrected that before your comment, would have done so sooner, but my pop-up keyboard stuck. "One Less Bell To Answer" was originally a 1967 Keely Smith original song; all the others, including Marilyn McCoo with her lead on The Fifth Dimension in 1970, was a cover as well, although the most well-known. Dionne Warwick did an excellent version on this video from "The Caol Burnett Show" and it differs from her 1972 "Dionne" album version. You mentioned the 1983 Cyndi Lauper hit song, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". That was not only a cover of a 1979 song, but it was by a male singer who recorded it first at that time and I think has passed on since. "Saving All My Love For You" was popularized by Whitney Houston in the mid-1980s, but was first recorded in 1978 by Marilyn McCoo a few years after she had left The Fifth Dimension. Eventually, all songs that are famous become cover songs.
