This is a fantastic performance - it's fun to watch cause if you watch closely you'll see the same thing happens to Boy George that happens to so many great folks who have done duets with Dionne - at some point they fall off and just enjoy Dionne's vocal range - saw the same thing w. a Dionne duet w. Barry Manilow, Glenn Campbell and even Frank Sinatra - and that even tho Dionne is always consummately generous in engaging with whoever she's dueting with in terms of letting them set the pace, deferring to riffs, etc. - all these Dionne videos are absolutely the most wonderful things for up and coming vocal performers to study - her vocal range and control, her "emotional intelligence" in expressing the lyrics, her stage demeanor,, the exquisite elegance with which she always carries her costume-ing - just the whole package! 🙂
O yes please I love love this song and being sung by two legends of the music world coming together and singing one of the best song ever and their voices just absolutely blends together so sweetly warming our hearts and souls thank you and you both looking mighty fine 🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤✌✌✌🌹🌹🌹💯💯💯🕊🕊🕊👌👌👌😍😍😍🎇🎇🎇
Thank you for your response to my comment greatly appreciated 🙏❤💯🌹👌😍🎶🎇
Why Miss Warwick doesn’t remaster these duets, I will never know. This was just as good as when she did with Aretha. Boy George and she could have released this. Solid Gold all the way!
They sound great together. Dionne always seemed so warm with all of her guests.
By George, Boy George was such a musical phenomenon in the early to mid-1980s!!! Dionne Warwick and Boy George blended together so well here and it was a very unique version of "I Say A Little Prayer," at the very least. That even the recently-departed "Today" Show former weatherman Willard Scott had once dressed up as Boy George to do weather reports on national television shows how popular Boy George and his Culture Club band were back in that era!!! A superb and special blend on an already-classic Dionne Warwick song from her 1960s Burt Bacharach-Hal David era.
Hug with wodrs,without touch.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.
I always forget, shenanigans aside, Boy George can sing.
This needs to get recorded for a record in 2022!
Omg, this is so cute and adorable...especially when BG sang the 1st line !
Well if he sang the 2nd verse he would have said "While combing my hair now..."
That wouldn't have fit very well there 😁
@@michaelwarren7962 good point ! ...BG is one of my all time retro favorites ...the original gender blender ..haha...so ahead of his time !

Don’t forget Little Richard, don’t forget Sylvester!
One of the classic duets I remember well from Season 6. Thanks for posting.
This is as cute as the scene with this song in “My Best Friends Wedding” what a fun song!!!
So sweet! Love these two together!
I remember being so surprised when CC was on Solid Gold this night because they weren't promoting any new material. Magical!
Amazing performance by two charismatic singers! I love "I Say A Little Prayer" and here, I particularly like how it starts with the "Culture Club " sound, also present but more subtle at the end of the performance. So recognizable! That was a good idea 💫 Thank you for the arrangement.
Thank you for noticing my little “Culture Club“ injections!
@@bigeyezzzzzzz That was very well done I thank you for that .May I ask you, Mr Miller, did they perform a Culture Club song together in that episode?
@@leafl75 When You say “they“, are you referring to Dionne and George, or George and his band?
@@bigeyezzzzzzz Yes Dionne and George.
@@leafl75 Ahhh, okay, then the answer is no. I Say a Little Prayer was the only song we ever did with the two of them together.
buenas, excelentes cantantes, hermosas voces! excelente cancion y musica! gracias por compartir!
De nada. ¡Me alegro de que hayas disfrutado del vídeo!
Good singers .Boy George I love your voice
Show! ... Amei.
Splendida Dionne Warwick
Totally agree!
💎💎💎💎💎👏
Mike Baird was with the band by this point? And John Goux? I thought they'd be at work with Mike Post by that point. And Stewart Levin? He's had quite a reputation as a composer for other TV shows.
The people who I listed as being in my band are the people who were in the band. In addition to playing for SOLID GOLD, they also played on all sorts of other shows and recording sessions.
@@bigeyezzzzzzz I guess they get around Hollywood quite a lot. Just like members of Toto, too.
@@jnadle1 Exactly.
Didn't he have laryngitis here? I read somewhere that another vocalist filled in the rough spots. Is that true?
Sounds like himself to me🤷🏽♀️
If so, you haven’t heard of the TV show titled Star in the Star. When one singer sings in the voice of the singer.The essence of the show is to be deceptevely similar to the other.He was clearly ahead of his time, but he gave a TV show a chance.The idea is brilliant.
inside information Boy George actually lip-synch his part he said he was too nervous to sing with Ms Warwick,of course Ms Dionne sang here part live
Don't like George ... But this time thanks doll 💋
