11:00 pm INTIMATE PORTRAIT: For 40 years, Dionne Warwick has been dazzling audiences with her soulful voice. With a sound that's smooth as satin and raw as silk, Dionne has bridged the gap between pop music and R&B. Her songs, such as her Grammy Award-winning hits "Do You Know The Way To San Jose," "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" and "That's What Friends Are For," have created memories for several generations and are certain to remain favorites for years to come. But her spectacular voice was often clouded by controversy. Yet through it all and with her faith, Dionne has survived the highs and the lows of the business and challenges in her personal life, while always remaining true to herself and her music. Interviews include: Burt Bacharach, Elton John, Cissy Houston, Gladys Knight, Clive Davis and others. [CC] [TV-PG NONE]

Legends are never forgotten. At least that's how Dionne Warwick sees things.
The singer says she's not bitter that many of the songs she helped make famous
have found their way into such movies as the new "Austin Powers" and "My Best
Friend's Wedding."
In "Austin," Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello do a rendition of "I'll Never
Fall in Love Again" — a tune synonymous with Warwick, though written by
Bacharach and Hal David.
"No one ever approached me to sing them. It's cool," Warwick said at the party
for HBO's new animated series "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every
Child." "I feel I haven't been passed up. I get all this feedback that it
should have been me singing those songs, and that's my payment."
But the public isn't fooled, she contends. "They know who is responsible for
those songs," she said. "Her name is Dionne Warwick, okay? So whoever sings
them, the audience is always going to say, 'Dionne should have done it.'"
Aside from music, Warwick, who has a new album out, said she's still involved
with psychics even though the Psychic Friends Network is now defunct.
"I think psychics are lots of fun," she said. "Whenever I have the time to go,
I do. I go from one person to the next and compare."
