 What A Great Voice
Submitted on: 2006-11-15 |

| Filling in my 60's collection, I came across this very talented artist. To me, the best songs are "I Say A Little Prayer", "Do You Know The Way To San Jose", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "Alfie, and "...Valley of The Dolls". All still very listenable. A good buy. |

 Holds up Remarkably

I'm shocked how much I like this CD. When these songs were popular and I was much younger I was no fan of the pop music of Burt Bacharach, and I dismissed Dionne Warwick as just commercial and forgettable.
A few weeks ago I heard a singer on American Idol (yeah please don't hold it against me that I find that show entertaining) do "Anyone who had a Heart" and I did not remember the song but thought it was gorgeous so I bought this album. Wow! Dionne Warwick has a fabulous voice and could really sing. Many of these songs belong in the catalog of great american standards. The arrangements, while clearly of their time, still sound interesting and engaging. If you are looking for rock or soul in the classic sense you won't find it here. If you like pop standards, and perhaps even jazz vocals, you'll probably be surprised to be reminded what a great vocalist Dionne Warwick was in her prime and how many gems were written by Burt Bacharach. |

| Dionne Warwick possesses the great natural raw talent with the instincts neccessary to take on Bacarach-David's complicated works, and the result is amazing music. She glides from one octave to another, from hard hitting and edgy, to vunerable and soft, with security and ease. These songs have stood for decades and still captures the listener with its melodies, and the voice, and transports you like a spell binding story teller does. Definitely 2 thumbs up on this one. |

 Not too shabby
Submitted on: 2004-03-07 |

| My only complaint are two very dated songs that don't go with the flow of the rest of the cd, and they are Then Came You with a very dated sounding doo wop group, and Valley of The Dolls, also they should have included a hit sha had in the late 60's "Odds & Ends", my personal favorite Dionne Warwick song. This is a ok "best of colelction", but it could have been so much better considering that there is room for about 26 songs on thsi cd and they gave us a mere 16, which is why you should only buy this if found at a very budget price. |

A big fan in Temple Hills, MD

| I am and have always been a fan of Dionne Warwick, ever since I was 5 or 6 years old! That's right! I'm trying to find the original release dates for some of her classics: Walk On By, Message to Michael, You'll Never Get to Heaven, Alfie, Trains, Boats and Planes, I Say a Little Prayer, and Anyone Who Had a Heart. If anyone can provide the dates for these songs, I would be very appreciative. I've already searched but don't find what I'm looking for. Thanks! |
