European only Gold Disc packaged in an exclusive slipcase. The Definitive Collection is just that, a 20-track retrospective of the New Jersey songstress' entire career. Extensive liner notes trace her career from roots in gospel to session work as a background singer, on through her association with Burt Bacharach and many later collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. The first nine tracks are all classic '60s tunes written by Bacharach and Hal David. The songwriting team presented Warwick with such chestnuts as 'Walk On By', 'Alfie', and 'I Say A Little Prayer', and she croons them perfectly. 'Then Came You', Warwick's duet with The Spinners, shows how she changed soulfully with the times. In an age when every female R&B artist is being marketed as a Diva, the 25 years of music on this album prove that Warwick has indisputably earned her title. Arista. 2005.

WARWICK DIONNE THE VERY BEST OF

Dionne Warwick's vocals were never more strong, more vulnerable than when she sang the songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David--and, oh, yeah, "Who Can I Turn To" and the theme from "Valley of the Dolls," the two non-Bacharach/David songs included among the 24 singles collected here. Both technically and emotionally, this was an unstoppable team: from the drama of "Don't Make Me Over" to the tongue-in-cheek backing singers on "Are You There (With Another Girl)," the barely veiled civil-rights message of "Reach Out for Me" to the deceptively bouncy "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," this CD sheds light on one of the most perfect marriages of pop form and content this side of Sinatra's classic Capitol work. --Rickey Wright
