Free Music Notes for The Dionne Warwick Collection: Her All-Time Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: so beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
I have always been a great admirer of artists like James Taylor, The Carpenters, Carly Simon, Roberta Flack, and others, but I had never really been exposed to Dionne Warwick's earlier music (with the exceptions of songs like Walk On By, Say A Little Prayer, and I'll Never Fall In Love Again) until a desire to own a recording of Walk On By lead me to purchase this greatest hits CD. I didn't really have any expectations of this CD beyond the few songs that I knew I liked, but after listening to it just a couple a times, I was quite overwhelmed by it's significance and sheer beauty. I can say easily that this collection of music ranks among the best I have ever heard, and this includes the artists whom I mentioned above as well as others. I wonder that there may be others who are as unaware of this special music as I have been. Rarely have I had the great pleasure and honor to experience such beautiful expressions of romantic love and sorrow: Burt Bacharach and Hal David are poets of the human heart, and Dionne their voice. The music they've produced is unique, and at times, crushingly beautiful, and at times, breathtaking.Free Music Review: excellent!!!!!!!!!

The answer, of course, is NO ONE! Dionne Warwick is simply the BEST! I will never understand why this fine singer is so underappreciated by the media - her peers, like Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle, benefit from the support of radio and a million television appearances, but Ms Warwick is left out of the limelight. What a shame. This album represents the best of Ms Warwick's golden days with Scepter - a period that found her in excellent voice and unsurpassed technical ability, with devoted fans all around the world. She has made truly outstanding music since those days, but the music captured in this collection is permanently etched in all music lovers' hearts and minds. One of the other customer reviews said that Warwick's cousin Whitney Houston could learn a thing or two from her, and I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Warwick managed to remain a class act for the course of her whole career (minus the Psychic Friends thing) and never comes across as a tempermental prima donna! Also, she doesn't feel the need to yell, scream, and perform all of the other vocal gymnastics that her cousin and many other singers find so necessary. She stays true to the meaning of a song, as is beautifully illustrated on this collection. All of you young singers out there, TAKE NOTES! THIS IS WHO YOU WANT TO EMULATE!Free Music Review: The Best!!!!

Hit: 5 Stars
I was lucky to see Dionne Warwicke a few years ago with Burt Bacharach and she was fantastic. She is arguably one of the best singers of the past 30+ years, and this collection is excellent. She is one of a handful of singers who successfully treaded the line between soul and pop and in that sense has influenced everybody since who has headed in that direction. Granted, that psychic friends thing was probably not a great career move, but it is only fair to separate that from her music. She is probably the best interpreter of Bacharach-David songs, and she obviously was fortunate enough to be the recipient of some of their best material. Personally, I think the songs "Walk On By," "Don't Make Me Over," and "Anyone Who Had a Heart" are three of the best songs of the 60's and make a profound artistic statement. Her cousin Whitney Houston could learn a few things by listening to Dionne's records, e.g. restraint in delivery.
