Hi, I had the privilege of seeing deer Warwick in 1970 in Washington DC. I remember her soulful voice when I hear it today it brings tears to my heart of many memories of happiness. Thank you very much.
I learned only today burt Bacharach has left us. I am as shattered as I was when rod mckuen fied in 2015. 2 very different guys, different music but both defined my young adult life.
I agree Dave ,where has the gentle romance gone .Beautiful , Songsxwith relatable meaning .i morn for the past days of true romance ,nostalguc songs .from me Jayne to you Dave ,bless you .x
After his singing intro, Dionne carefully moves the piano mic so that Burt has easy access to his music to play. He reaches for the mic and see's it has been taken care of. What a talented pair who move in tandem. Burt, you’ll be missed. Thank you for the music!
At 80 years of age,I come from a much simpler life than it is today, this music is from my era , beautiful, easy on the ear and timless, I am in tears litening to this amazing music.
La vida actual es absurdamente compleja. En muchos aspectos quisiera tener 80 años y haber vivido la época de ustedes en vez de tener que soportar este siglo que perfectamente podría llamarse "el Siglo de la Mediocridad".😢
Burt Bacharach's minor and demonic chord changes and his quirky time signature changes made him exceptional.. And Hal David could surely write a lyric.. My dad did Burt's Australian tour in 1972.. He was a professional muso.. Drummer/percussionist... If there was anybody who needed to live forever it was my precious dada and Burt... I long for those days back... Especially musically..
Even when I was a teenager in late 60’s and 70’s, I loved Burt and Dionne and continued to listen to them each decade of my life and now I’m almost 70. Timeless.
I’m the same era. Looking back, how incredible to hear these magnificent songs on the radio while getting ready for school. Just part of daily life . ❤
Exactly. I took my mother to see Dionne and Burt perform together and what a concert it was. My late mother hummed the songs all the way home. Such perfection between those two individuals. RIP Mr. Bacharach.❤️

Wow what a wonderfull lady Burt to sing your magial music you were a match made in heven and here i am in the wee small hour's of the morning listening to your magic music❤❤
In the 70-80s I learned line by line more than a dozen of Burt Bacharach's compositions - compositions performed by Dionne, PERRY COMO, Aretha, the Carpenters and Tom Jones, among others. Burt at 94 left us a wonderful legacy of beautiful music. Rest In Heavenly Peace Burt.
Music and times cannot compare. Morals values. Love these two ❤️❤️❤️ Dionne and Dolly have a new duet out next week. Two more class acts together. The world does need love.
Watching this thru tears as Burt passed away last nite. The man wrote the soundtrack of the '60s and '70s, the years of my youth. Saw him in concert a couple of times. We'll not see his kind again.
I would argue that he wrote the soundtrack of the 80s and 90s as well with covers of his music appearing at pivotal moments: Naked Eyes Always something there to remind me, film My Best friend's wedding with I say a little prayer for you.
You are not alone..... Please stay safe, be blessed, and don't forget to do what my Grandmother always said we should do. "Renember the good old days. They are gone, but they will never be forgotten." NMA
I was born in 63 and have no doubt that my cool parents were playing these tunes in the background of my life. He was obviously a GENIUS.. just look at him when he's in his Zone. (LUV Ms Dionne too of course) 😍
Oh, I fully agree , if we can just turn back the hands of time , I'd love to watch ALL their moments together. What a beautiful , lovely and romantic pair . Theirs is true , sincere love.
Miss Dionne, I don't know if will see this, but today is August 17, 2024. Your voice is so silky and you make singing look effortless. What a gift to us all! I have your hits on my song list. I will be 60 in two months, and I love all your music! My husband and I on Dairy Queen dates and play your music loud, and we sing along together loudly! Thank you for the gift of you!
This is the best performance of House is Not a Home I've ever seen and heard. You can see the effect it has on the beaming Dionne herself as she belts it out. Beautiful!
Couldn’t agree more. Best version ever performed. It all just clicked on the night. Totally in sync. And see how Burt is almost orgasmic at 4:30 after that unique key and tempo change when Dionne adds her magic. Obviously even better than they’d rehearsed. Incredible! Tearful.
This live is my most favorite among those I’ve seen . Dionne’s aura is full of smiles, exudes being happy and inspired with her singing . They look happy together and I love watching them
The late, great Burt B. is so passionate, demonstrative, talented, and fully present even with the amazing vocal range of Dionne...wow! Truly an incredible, incomparable performance...Wow! There was a special love between them...and it was as if they performed at a higher level for each other...bc of their special relationship..my God! This was for the heavens...
Dion , and Burt - the best 2 , they made each other famous , and their music made history , and each other a combined history ! Can’t have one without the other ! I love the music -at 73yrs. in 2024
❤ I remember as an adolescent listening to " What the world 🌎 needs now " not knowing the words be would one day be desperately true. The time as come to light 🕯️. I pray we all can start today and keep on doing better as a people, a nation, a world 🌍. ❤❤❤❤
@edwardsah3 I was thinking the very same thing, about the dynamics I mean. She is so powerful yet measured, and her musical speech is such a continuum, from confidentially telling to strongly stating. What a precious lesson.
THE PIED PIPER OF THE 60'S. HE WAS THE MASTER OF POP LOVE SONGS THAT NOW HAVE BECOME CLASSICS. HE CREATED A TAPESTRY FOR OUR LIVES IN THE 60'S. HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. THANK YOU BURT. RIP SIR........YOU CERTAINLY HAVE EARNED IT. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY. TO ANGIE AND TO CAROL. GOD BLESS YOU. 💙
Watching this took me back to my youth. Simpler times then with true good music . They don't make them like they used to anymore. Rest Easy Mr. Bacharach 🎵🙏❤️
This is amazing. The artistry, the chemistry, the way each plays to, builds on, and compliments the other's strengths is perfection. Burt never wrote "soul" music and Dionne was never a classic "soul" singer; but the soul, passion, and beauty baked into their union is unmistakable.
It really is! They are both feeling these songs, Burt on the piano and orchestrating. He is so passionate and Dionne's vocals are so amazing - no wonder he wrote for her!! All 3 songs are done with perfection and pure joy!!
One of my top favorite female voices. Dionne and B.Bacharach were a magical combination. No, they don’t make music like that anymore. Currently reading her book My Life as I see it .. another wonderful way to travel back in time and wishing I would have appreciated it more than I did ..
I grew up listening and loving Dione Warwick. When I was in my twenties I had the great privilege of attending one of her concerts in the Vienna Opera House in Austria. It was a dream come true.
With so few comments, wonder what brought us both here within 5 days of one another? For me, it was "Do you know the way to San Jose"... I play that on the piano, and for some reason, played it this morning, forgetting some parts.... so here I am. What a duo, right??? Awesome.
What a joy to see this video! Love these two!! Rest in peace, Burt Bacharach! You and your wonderful music brought so much joy to thousands of people...including me! I will always treasure your albums that I bought!
Musical Magic.... You just don't hear this kind of music anymore. What a shame! God bless Bert and Dion for giving us such timeless classics. Your music will never fade away! Absolute Perfection.....
Sad to hear that "The Kennedy Honors" missed the opportunity to give this man his flowers while he was still alive. How could that happen? ... Thank YOU, Mr Bacharach, for the many memorable, majestic music. YOU were -- and still are -- LOVED. ❤ RIP 🙏
Dionne Warwick is one of the very best singers of my lifetime and I feel so lucky for that. The joy and beauty her voice has filled my soul with over the years has been one of the greatest gifts of life. My eyes have filled with tears listening to this incredible music. ❤❤❤❤❤
Can’t help watching this video a hundred times . Why does it seems “Love is in the air” when they are together . I feel goosebumps . They are so perfect together ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ And the mini concert was flawless . They enjoyed it too . It Showed in their faces . Awesome !
The beautiful Ms Warwick has remained my favorite female singer for years. Seeing her as a young girl on TV with those beautiful gowns on. That unique elegant voice; accompanied by the most brilliant pianist in the world Mr Burt Bacharach! He had such a suave and cool rapport! Sexy! RIP Burt!
While I was listening to this video, I couldnt help but cry. I miss the days when life was much simpler and music was much more beautiful.
Me too, tears cascading
You are right. 2022
I do concur ! ! ! We do miss such talents today .
Me too!
Where are those great days???!!
Hi, I had the privilege of seeing deer Warwick in 1970 in Washington DC. I remember her soulful voice when I hear it today it brings tears to my heart of many memories of happiness. Thank you very much.

Same for me, I loved them then and still do, I also miss a simpler times with my parents
Same feeling
Same 70s born and loved music was in air n for music feeling not like today for sure odd rare but wow what a life ❤
Dionne’s voice is truly golden which gives me good memories of yesteryears when the culture was full of respect and class.

Amazing vocals and music. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching Burt playing for Dionne, there is so much love felt between them and their work together.. .

Can you believe she and Whitney came from the same family? Wow!
Talent and beauty are in the family.
Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick; the epitome of romance and elegance.
I was moved to tears. from JP.😭
Music can emotionally take you places so far back in time it can be painful..
Burt and Dionne Warwick make the most romantic and beautiful music ever and for all time.💕
Oh, I fully agree , if we can just turn back the hands of time , I'd love to watch ALL their moments together. What a beautiful , lovely and romantic pair .
Theirs is true , sincere love.
