ART: Dionne Warwick Rips Your Heart Out
Dateline: A long lost place where singers sang and players played
This diva is so hot they had to put a 'stache on her. When she sings Bachrach/David songs it is a storm charged combination that echoes down dreams for years.
"The Very Best of Dionne Warwick" sickens with its ill goo of delicious euphony.
Some songs on this 'gotta own it' disc:
#1, 2, 3: Don't Make Me Over. Anyone Who Had a Heart. Walk On By.
These pitch perfect Bachrach/David numbers have all been overplayed around the world by the lovelorn leaning against stained jukeboxes.
#5: Are You There (With Another Girl?)
This song might best show off Dionne's deep cornucupia of musical nectar.
#8, 9: Alfie. Windows of the World.
Two 'weeper ballads' for lovers of the form. Dionne lets us know she can break us high or low, fast or slow.
#11, 12, 13: I Say a Little Prayer. Do You Know the Way to San Jose? Promises, Promises, Promises.
A troika of the best pop tunes ever produced. Her voice is flawless and sophisticated; the orchestration top flight.
#16: Then Came You.
This pop duet with The Spinners was her only number one song. It is hard to believe she only had one number one.
Liner Notes: The CD has a few excellent publicity shots of Miss Warwick in form fitting sequined gowns and artful hairstyles. As beautiful as she was dulcet.
