The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Hello - sorry for those bored of discussing Dionne, but I just wanted to share a video I've created with some of Dionne's best vocals (in my opinion of course!) from 1967 right through to 2016:

Dionne Warwick announced a new film project at the Cannes Film Festival today. It's apparently based on her autobiography and focuses on her career in the 1960s. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36284812 Sounds interesting but it's already off to a bit of a strange start. It was also ann...

You're welcome. There's more clips to see if you click on "Citibank Hall" on either of those videos.

That performance was actually from October 2012 but I've not seen an online copy for a long time... if I remember rightly she sounded a little rough, she did a few UK TV show appearances to promote Now around that time and sounded pretty bad on all of them. Still, I think Now shows Dionne's older vo...

It's an astonishing concert - she hits some incredible notes in Make It Easy at Yourself and and at the end with the encore of With One More Look At You. She really was an underrated singer and I think she was in her vocal prime in this era, around 1980-1986. As previously mentioned, another great c...

On the 10th of October I saw Dionne performing in Vlissingen, Netherlands. Her voice was in very good condition and it was an amazing concert. I drove with the car one way 475 km and it was it worth to see her again. I´m a huge fan of her since I was sixteen during my aunt plays old records from th...

I know this isn't strictly Burt related but it's subject that's been discussed here a few times before. I just wanted to share a couple of performances where Dionne is sounding far better, I think the significantly reduced number of shows she does is helping her voice. A very rare performance of We ...

Here's Dionne performing Walk on By and Anyone Who Had a Heart, and there's also This Girl's In Love With You and Say a Little Prayer in the other links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM6IzPR1PBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03AzJ2P7Zvo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmQbZ4fC1Og For all the cr...

Dionne sings Windows Of The World last week at a concert in Atlantic City, with David Elliott.

I would bet on around 1993/4 because that's when her vocals started to become patchy - but who knows, because Dionne has been known to both struggle through songs in their original key, and lower the key of her songs when she is perfectly capable of singing them in their original key (or close to). ...

I think Dionne's internet presence has been outsourced to some external company, probably when she got the new website a few months back and they oddly closed her Facebook page and opened a new one. The old pages (both website and social media) had a stream of archive pictures being posted every wee...

I wish I could see the interview - sadly I'm not in the US so I can't even purchase the show! As for Dionne slowing down and wanting to call it quits, I'm sort of glad that she is. I think we all know Dionne's voice has been somewhat variable over the past few years but especially in the past year ...

It is a real shame they won't at least perform together occasionally - each time they do it's still fantastic, despite Dionne's voice not being what it was. As already mentioned in the above posts, she sings in a higher key with Burt and sounds all the better for it. I'm far from a fan of the songs ...

I agree with turnupthemusic,because if the voice is no longer that strong to get the high notes en these demanding songs of BURT and HAL to sing, then hey..... Be realistic al that touring (look at her schedule) that`s not good for her heatlh. I`ve been there, i also worked a long time ago in the m...
