Dionne Warwick often gets overlooked when compared to many of her contemporaries - Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, etc. Unlike these ladies (who are all remarkable), Dionne was never a soul belter but rather an interpreter who uses finesse and subtlety to convey the meaning of the lyrics Classy and always elegant, her style is easily recognisable and a pleasure to sit back and listen too. She's a storyteller in her approach to singing and the end result is timeless.
I think she's overlooked compared to those others because although she took a soulful approach to her music, it wasn't R&B at all. She was a sophisticated MOR balladeer for the most part. Really, a singer like Diana Ross has a catalog with more soulful music than Dionne. Dionne's strong start with the original, yet not at all soulful sound of Burt Bacharach set her on a long path of a unique sound and approach to music. I love her phrasing and articulation. I love the way she weaves her musical stories.
@@voituriezclaude6944 Elle est magnifique et meme aujourd'hui malgre son age avance, elle garde une technique qui lui est propre. Tjs un plaisir de l'entendre chanter.
She made history on that evening. This performance is part of her legacy, no one will ever be able to take that away from her. I am completely addicted to this rendition.
As soon as she sung "played" at 3:29, she went somewhere else spiritually and vocally. Wow. Probably the best live version of this song by anyone ever.
The most amazing thing about this genius is how effortless she makes this vocal brilliance look. Her control of her breath is mind blowing, you Never see her take in the oxygen needed for this powerful performance. She is like a swan effortlessly gliding across a lake, all the hard work is beneath the surface, completely unseen.... The control is unreal, so elegant, the most faultlessly effortless delivery of this masterpiece ever.....
Why hasn't Dionne received a Kennedy Center Honor by now???? She is soooo deserving of that and more! Not only is she one of the greatest vocalists of all time, she has done amazing humanitarian work throughout her life. Please honor Dionne now more than ever❤
If you think an artist of her caliber is underrated, I suggest you look up the definition of underrated because that's not a word that has ever been used to describe this iconic legend. In the last few years, I've noticed how many people use the word "Underrated" to describe an artist that they feel doesn't get the recognition that they deserve. However, in majority of the cases that I've come across, the artist isn't underrated, so I suggest those that are making such claims, do more research, especially for those that are too young to remember the impact the artist has made. Just to give you an example of her accomplishments, I took the liberty of providing you with this excerpt: Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest hit makers of the entire rock era (1955-1999), based on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Charts. She is one of the most-charted female vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Billboard Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998, and 80 singles making all Billboardcharts combined.
Classic Dionne! No one can touch this rendition! She styled this like no one could! The way she handled the mike was something the singers of today must learn especially if you have a powerful instrument! Dionne’s legacy is etched in music history!
@@fredoneil7396 I would disagree deeply, as much as Stevie wonder is an incredible vocalist and songwriter, he's nowhere near the level of vocalist Dionne is.
She’s magical she doesn’t have to scream and jumped all over the place she does effortlessly she deserves all the flowers 🌺 such an underrated vocalist.
I'm a huge Whitney Houston fan and I liked Dionne but I didn't know much of her before "That's What Friends Are For" and I'm astonished I see so many little things Whitney picked up and crafted her style from. I have been listening to Dionne going through her catalog and I am getting a gift of her past. Thank you for uploading this because I felt the heartbreak in that song from the way she embodied every word.
I remember an interview where he ask her if she got her style from watching Diana Ross. She said no I had people in my family that inspired that and she mentioned Dionne Warwick.
Singers.....or those who wish they were.....take notice here. Not only is her phrasing outstanding and her emotion and delivery just incredible.....her intonation is pitch perfect. This is how you do it. This is the real deal.
whats amazes me so much about her is how she starts off so low and mellow and then goes soaring towards the middle of the song and makes it look so effortless....fantastic
One of the greatest vocalists of all time. She's definitely overlooked because she doesn't scream to drive a song ....she respects the craft and takes time to deliver. A legend 💯💙
No other female in the world will ever come close to this way of performing. God bless you Dionne in all the days ahead for your contribution to the world of pop music.
She sure did have it going on. Her glam game was on point! But smokin' them dam cigarettes (cancer sticks) will make a voice as well as health deteriorate.
This rendition of a Stevie Wonder classic is absolutely magnificent!! Each lyric is wrapped in lush Dionne Warwick velvet and delivered with perfection. Thank you for posting.
The great Dionne Warwick!!! What a beautiful vocal instrument . . . clean, smooth, clear, in spite of all the cigarette smoking she did, I still love Dionne, what a 'master' performer!
She got really lucky as smoking usually ruins the voice like it did with Whitney. (With all due respect. It wasn't the drugs, but in fact the smoking, among other things) Dionne's voice on the other hand endured over 30 years staying nearly intact well into the late nineties.
I strongly disagree, she definitely lost the range, due to smoking, don't kid yourself. This performance was in 1975. I love Dionne's voice but she couldn't even sing like this in 1986, with "That's what friends are for".
@lsaturn01 Whitney did not have bad technique what the hell are you talking about?! Whitneys voice declined to smoking cigarettes and also the fact that she toured consistently for 15 years, did movies and soundtracks and singing when she should have been resting. Even Clive Davis said it wasn't that caused the damage he said it was cigarettes. Whitney never said she free based so I don't know where you got that from. There are plenty of vocalist who snort coke and keep their voice
@lsaturn01 You just edited your comment, you're not slick. While your editing your comment go ahead and delete she freebased cocaine because Whitney never said she freebased nor did anyone around her say she did. Cigarettes and over touring is what killed her vocals. Her touring schedule was abuse
Perhaps it was the big production of most of her hits, or what, but I've never heard Dionne sing like this! Those big sustained belts, those transitions, the vocal effects/mic tricks. Wow, what a vocal diva here! My new favorite interpretation of this song, she brought out the soulful jazzy side to the song. And that emotion!!!
Nate J gotta do your research she was doing Whitney notes before nippy was even thought of, she was an incredible vocalist before smoking took the range but she held it for a good 30 years
Oh Lord! This is the crown jewel of them all! The emotions, the delivery, the techniques, her stage presence and interpretation! Simply the best. Thank you Dionne this must be the best live performance ever! 🙏🏻
I can't say how many times I've listened to this and EVERY SINGLE TIME she holds that last 'ALL' and THEN actually has the breath to go up?! I am left with my mouth hanging open in wonderment. What a singer!!
My favorite version...hands down! Her voice is the instrument and her style complimented the orchestra. Loved the way this version filled in all musical spaces perfectly. The phrasing is flawless. Stevie's is an awesome second and I'd have to say Nancy Wilson and Barbra Streisand is tied for third.
I new Dionne could sing but she sang that song it was like telling a story that was simply beautiful I am glad she is still with us we have lost so many of the great singer of class the world has change like sam cooke said a change is gonna come and it certainly has . 1:30
Dionne You are Platinum Diamond Gold Everlasting. You are literally above the constraints of any Hall of Honor. They will bow down to your greatness. ✅
It’s the connection with every word for me. I love a vocalist that connects with the lyrics. Singing is so much more than hitting the high note and belting
This performance belongs to another galaxy!! Dionne is one of the best vocalists I've ever heard. I agree with Titan: she not only sings the song but she interprets it flawlessly. One of a kind!!!
When it comes to Ballads nobody beats DIONNE WARWICK 🔥☝👑❤ ....Yes i said NOBODY ....greatest of all time ☝🔥👑 ....she's been amazing. Her composure and calmness is unmatched. She's that girl ....body will ever be like DIONNE MARIE WARRICK ....A QUEEN 👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dionne Warwick at the peak of her statuesque beauty with those Hepburn cheekbones and mouth and then a voice of such breadth and loveliness. She's the bees knees.
Breathtaking, the most exquisite journey through heart rending pain. I feel every word. I'm brought to tears every time I hear this Diva channels this masterpiece. A Magical experience every time...
she has a beautiful voice...Seems to run in the family (Whitney Houston is her cousin on her mom's Cissy Houston's side. Stevie wrote a heartfelt song with this. Of course all of his music is great. " Genius" is what he is ❤
At her peak, she was a master vocalist - phrasing, touch, power, tone, dexterity (e.g., Promises,Promises). But almost as often as she recorded some of the greatest songs and made them hers, she wasn't always selecting the best songs consistently. I have several of her albums, and along with the great songs, there's also often a lot of filler. But at her best, she's astonishing. No one like her.
I only discovered this recently and I keep playing it over and over. Dionne in her prime was simply the best. I love listening and watching her sing when she moves the microphone away when she sings those sustained notes. The orchestra sounds fabulous as well. PERFECTION!
She looks stunning here. I think this is her natural hair here just straightened with a flat iron. Smooth voice, smooth skin, smooth hair, phenomenal talent, phenomenal woman.
Dionne Warwick is an artist - not a singer, star, celebutant or gossip subject. Compare her with 99% of those heard on radio today and you want to weep at the mediocrity. Female singers "talk" though songs in a 5-note range. It's like evolution in reverse. Incredible arrangement by Alan Peters - perfect for Warwick's unique voice.
top 3 and always... it is Dionne, its Aretha, and with their love and influence, it is Whitney... but she learned from Dionne and Aretha- foundational that is a gift to us all!!

They’re so similar esp in mannerisms and Ms D took no mess just like Whitney

No words for this expression of beauty
Plot twist..
It's her mother and Burt Bacharach is her father... 😶

Amen !!
Speechless
The most amazing thing about this genius is how effortless she makes this vocal brilliance look. Her control of her breath

She is like a swan effortlessly gliding across a lake, all the hard work is beneath the surface, completely unseen.... The control is unreal, so elegant, the most faultlessly effortless delivery of this masterpiece ever.....
YES! preach it. She delivered something that can't be quite fathomed in it's greatness.
I agree!!! One of my most favorite performances of all times!!!!
Stephen Hardy understated brilliance...her breathing has always been spectacular, as well as her vocal approach.
Stephen Hardy Nat King Cole was effortless in his singing and phrasing. Dionne the same. Ive listened to her since I was a child. Just amazing
absolutely love your analogy with the swan...so very poetic yet so apt. Dionne is famous for making it look so easy!
I love Stevies version but this was on another level of emotion and power. Wow
what a goddess.
Why hasn't Dionne received a Kennedy Center Honor by now???? She is soooo deserving of that and more! Not only is she one of the greatest vocalists of all time, she has done amazing humanitarian work throughout her life. Please honor Dionne now more than ever❤
She will this year!
Yes. She is. Worth it all a day more.
I don't know what the academy has against her, she deserves even the Tony award
Ms. Dionne deserves every music award and honor there is, #facts❤❤❤
I’m not pitting her against Aretha but I’ve always preferred Dionne’s voice in her prime, especially!
When she took that mic behind her back !! Lawd!! And the sound of her voice didn’t change one bit. I am mesmerized.
YES!!! Glad you said it because I was scrolling asking "Did you see that!"
Starting at 3:36 she went into another world, it certainly wasnt this one lol
OMG - you can't listen to this without realizing how wonderful her voice is, and how much lesser today's popular artists seem to be.
You got that SO true!!!
This is the definitive version of this song.
The breath control needed to make 3:44 to 3:56 is still astonishing to me!
Right? I'm speechless...
You can tell her and Whitney are related
3:44 to 3:56 are some of my most favorite moments in vocal performances, ever!! .
@@stephenhardy6340 Same!
That was awesome!
Seeing that RollingStone Top 200 singers of all time and Dionne being left out is crazy
Rolling Stone knows nothing. They know less than nothing.
absolutely insane
Rolling Stone knows nothing about music. Absolutely, positively nothing.
Makes me laugh that they usually rank Whitney Houston at number two and they are very similar, but Dionne is the original, Whitney was the new Dionne.
@@1lordthorpeAs a huge fan of both, Whitney was not the “new” Dionne.
She is long over due for a Kennedy honor. goto to their site and nominate her!

The one and only Dionne Warwick so underrated she deserved a lot more recognition

I know what you mean, but she is an icon in the music industry. I don't think she was ever underrated.
@@shawnjones4527 Well said Shawn, there is nothing underrated about Ms. Dionne Warwick.:-)
Underrated? By whom? She's phenomenal, and people with any taste have known that since Day One. What a great singer!
All In Love is one of my favorite songs, but this rendition by Ms. Warwick is timeless. This woman deserves every single flower.
OK She wins. I’ve heard all the versions by other artists on iTunes and this one takes the prize.
Yelloboy 24 by far!
I agree.
Mel Torme blows this song out of the water!!
Give a listen to Barbra Streisand doing it - she and Stevie are 2 of my top fave singers ever
Stevie's is still at the top of the list for me.
WHY DID I DISCOVER THIS MASTERPIECE JUST NOW???!!!! AND WHY IS NOT AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY???😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

This rendition takes me to a place that simply can't be described. Thank God my wife doesn't mind that I play it so frequently. BRAVO!!!
Wow,Wow, Wow.....what an amazing rendering. I never knew she could hold notes like that. Dionne had it going back in the day.
She sure did have it going on. Her glam game was on point! But smokin' them dam cigarettes (cancer sticks) will make a voice as well as health deteriorate.
TwelveCastles: Same thing for her cousin Whitney Houston.....smoking took a toll on her voice.
Ms. Dionne is known for holding notes during her live performances. How I know because I have seen her in concert about 28 times starting in the 80s.
Oh girl you deserved a long standing ovation for this performance
I love Stevie Wonder, but there is something about the raw emotion Dione displays, she can cover a song like no other.
Easily top ten vocalist from this alone.
