I'm 75 yrs. young and growing up in the 60's Dionne Warwick was my favorite female singer. I just love her voice ❤❤❤❤
I love Dionne. I grew up listening to her music (70's &80's). I was a little disappointed that the narrator failed to mention Dionne's show "Solid Gold." I watched every show back then. #IMissThoseGoodOldDays#
After watching Celebrity Apprentice I thought she was a mean old woman. But this makes her a little softer.

I love Dionne Warwick and her music! People really need to look at some of her performances and her albums. She has a voice and knew how to use it. I am surprised that she does not take better care of herself as she has always been slim and trim so it blows my mind that she looks as good as she does. I wish that could have worked for Queen Aretha I wouldn't be heartbroken over her death still. Maybe Dionne has a really good skin care regimen?

Grew up listening to Dionne. My family loved her music. She also got a ton of radio play on the Bay Area radio stations. She was very popular in the 90s when I listening to Soul and Motown nonstop.
Definitely wasn't born when she was the star. I love her classics Walk on by, Don't make me over and my favourite That's what friends are for! She may not have been the best example of financial management, she's still a vocal goddess. Great video keep it up
She’s always reminded me of my mother… glad she’s doing well♥️🙏🏽
So smoking.. Eating chicken and McDonald's makes u look like this at 80? 😕 And here I am trying to eat fruits and veggies... What I will say about Dionne is she doesn't bite her tongue because when she Be isn't an icon because her road in the music industry hasn't been long enough people were mad lol..she's never seemed nice but she seems to be just fine with who she is... I wish her the best... Sad to know she continues to have financial issues...

I've discovered her music as I've matured. Her music is timeless. She's a treasure and has such pretty teeth. It must be the secret to her sound?
Guess the people who don't know she was big way before Whitney haven't been blessed with that great music from '". Anyone Who Had a Heart, to A House is Not a Home, to Message to Michael " Probably too young and think Rap is good music.

Dionne was a #1 pop queen in those days.
Oh no don’t get it twisted: Dionne Warwick was THE FIRST Whitney Houston in the 60’s. The people writing for songs for her did a great job! I have a couple of her Anthologies and I love to put them on when I take long drives-issa vibe! One time I was in Vegas I saw a big carousel board at the airport that had her and Musiq Soulchild headlining together; she’s even got a song with BONE THUGS N’ HARMONY! There’s so much more her discography has to offer than “Walk On By” and “I Say A Little Prayer”; Dionne was able to hold her own next to the likes of Tina Turner and Aretha, so she’s definitely the real deal.

I thought Dionne Warwick was born & raised in San Jose? 🤔 Fun Fact: Dionne's actual name is Warrick, but on hear real early records, the record companies misprint her name as "Warwick." So she decided to professionally and personally go by "Dionne Warwick" instead of Dionne Warrick. She's 1 of my favorite singers. I am an oldies nerd 🤓

The reason why she's so slim is probably because of her smoking habit, it probably curbs her appetite and she only eats a little bit of the unhealthy food at a time.

🤔 I lost count. How many times did you say she filed bankruptcy? Now, Dionne sell everything thing and downsize to a tiny home. Let go of the house keeper, assistant, and dry cleaners. Do a Vegas residency. I would buy a ticket. Loved her earlier music.
