    Fact Check: Dionne Sued the writing duo AFTER signing a new record deal and the label threatened to legal action against Ms. Warwick citing breach of contract when the two split leaving Dionne on her own given that the deal was made with the three of them working together. She in turn sued Burt and David as a means of saving herself both legally and financially.

    People have been sleeping on Dionne. Her range was great...and she is a technical singer because of talent and education. She also had this trick she would do where she backs away from the mic to showcase the power of her voice and continues singing and the audience can still hear her. She also earned a doctorate......earned!!!! Not a honorary. Lol

      She really is a Legend. My adult children love her but their contemporaries dont know much about her because her best work came out in the early 60's when I was a child they know her because I played her all of the time. Burt Bacharach, Hal Davis & Dionne were magic. When they broke up none of them seemed to recapture what they had together. I am sorry, I think Dionne can outsing Aretha...that is just my humble opinion. I just preferred her voice and style over any other of her contemporaries. I never cared much for anything she did after leaving the guys until she got with Clive Davis, but even then it was never the same for me.

      The older musica is, was and will ALWAYS be better, because that was true raw talent that went into songs and musica...I like newer musica too, but I own more older musica, once you get introduced to the older musica, I was introduced to a lot of older musica, having older sibling's and one parent who loved listening to musica and dancing....It's in my blood.....Especially the dancing....I am one Israelite who has got rhythm and ain't shamed to say it and show it!

    Aside from Whitney, Dee-Dee had the voice in that family. Her voice was incredible. I think she didn’t acquire the success that Dionne because she did not have that star quality. She was a little rough around the edges, heavier and didn’t fit the beauty standards of the time, but she definitely had the voice. “Foolish Fool” is one of my favorites of hers. Like a lot of siblings of super stars, she was overshadowed. Aretha’s sisters suffered the same fate. She was also known to like the company of women. She didn’t announce that she was a lesbian. At that time it was just unspoken, but she didn’t hide it either. It just wasn’t acceptable at the time. She also suffered from drug addiction for many years.

      In Russia we say "Talents need help, mediocrity will break through on their own." Dee Dee was very talented and she was herself. There could be no question that she was playing some show business games or intrigues. She just wanted to sing! She was openly gay, unfortunately she did not meet her soul mate. She suffered from diabetes and arthritis, which also affected her life.

    Ms. Warwick is CLASS. I will never forget my mother and I running into her on Chestnut Street in Philly, Pa. when I was a little girl. My mother, who was a celebrity buff said, "That's Dionne Warwick!". Dionne was walking with this big burly sloppily dressed caucasian guy - I am guessing he was her bodyguard. Dionne was dressed to the nines in this classic pastel colored suit, pumps and a handbag (think Jaqueline Kennedy a la mocha). And let me tell you television did not do this woman justice; she was drop dead gorgeous- pretty smooth skin, gorgeous smile and those cheekbones and facial structure that just won't quit! Very petite, sophisticated and classy! I asked for her autograph and she graciously signed a piece of paper and gave it to me. I remember sitting in my room listening to her songs as a little girl: Walk on By; Message to Michael; Don't make me over, Raindrops Keep Fallin on my Head. She is one of the foremost artists who influenced my singing style. Her delivery, range and style are inimitable. Love me some Ms. Warwick.

    I love the way you tell a story, AshIey.. have a true story to share: My brother, who had a carpeting store, lost a shipload of money due to Ms Warwick's temperament. She sent her assistant to my brother's store to pick out some carpeting. After the installer installed the whole carpeting, she told him she didn't like it and to rip it up. A waste. This happened around the early 80's. I loved her recordings during the 60's.. Edit: Ms Warwick didn't pay for the job. That is why I mentioned her temperament and what a waste. My brother lost the money because she refused to pay for it

The backlash she faced because of the Psychic Hotline fiasco was no doubt embarrassing, but she actually seemed to believe in it.

      Etta James lit into Beyonce and Barrak Obama when the former President chose Beyonce to sing At Last at his innagural ball. I bet the beehive didn't let a buzz out about that.
      I don't blame sister Etta, what was Barrak Obama thinking!?
      I guess he must have actually believed Beyonce's portraying Etta in the Movie Cadillac Record's was actually Beyonce' song and not the legendary Etta James song!?
      That was a low down move Barrak Obama did to Etta James (I bet she was waiting, expecting and hoping he would have asked her to sing her legendary song at his ball). That's why she went off and cussed both of them out and said Barrak Obama was not her President.
      If Beyonce had any dignified decency, she would have told Barrak Obama, she would sing the song at his ball....Only if she could accompany Etta James in a duet singing it, because it was her legendary song and it would not be right to not offer Etta first to sing her ownsong at his ball, if Etta declined then Beyonce would sing the song.
      The sister was still alive and probably able to sing and it would have been the noble, etiquette and respectful thing to do, to offer the original singer to sing it first, Etta probably would have knocked that song out of the park singing it even then!
      RIP Etta James.

    Babyyyyy Ms Dionne is hilarious and she’s going to tell you like it is!! When she called that white woman a hussy on national television, that is when I knew she is not to be played with. She’s the auntie that makes you go pick out a switch for her to tear your legs up with.🤣 but for real I’ve always wondered why/how she became a spokesperson for the psychic friends network.
    Great video!!

    I've loved Ms. Dionne Warwick since I was a young child. She should get KENNEDY HONORS for her iconic hits of the sixties with David & Bacharach, Ms. Warrick is over eighty years old and needs to be honored. As far as her personality is concerned, it really is her choice to be gracious to her fans or a witch and being the latter is the chance she takes.

    I love her music and always have. In the early 80's I got a ticket for me to see her performance at the Chicago theater with Johnny Mathis, I was in college but working, so I. buy a ticket and it was very pricey. I rushed from work to get there and she never comes on stage. She just never comes out. I was heartbroken. I use to pretend to be her and sing her songs with a hairbrush. Johnny came out and said that she had the flu and wouldn't be coming out. He gave us a wonderful show without her. It was unsetting because the ticket was so pricey and of course with him coming out there was no refund. Now, Diana Ross came to Chicago and I bought a ticket to see her at Poplar Creek and I went and she came out and said that she wasn't feeling well, but we'd see how things go.
    She did her best for us. She left the stage briefly only twice, and you could see that she was really sick and trying. I think we got a little above an hour from her, when the stage manager came out and said that she was throwing up in the back and was just too sick to continue and she really apologized for not finishing the show. He hoped that we'd forgive her and we all cheered. The next time she came was at Arie Crown and I bought my expensive ticket again and She gave us quite a show! It was over 3 hours.
    I will never go see Dionne again. She's such an unbelievable talent, but her lack of respect for others bothers me.

    Dionne is a legend, like Whitney said"I come from a family of Legends". Whitney started to resemble Dionne as she got older. DIONNE Voice was ok, she had great writers. She did it with grace and class. Dionne audience was white, so when she was regal, they couldn't understand it. Young generation will find out about her when her movie come out. Being sassy, runs in the family, from Mama Cissy, to Whitney. Lol they don't take know mess honey, I love it.

    Look at it like this: in the 60's Dionne was like Whitney was in the 80's, her impact on the American public was indelible, a black female solo artist pop superstar, much more so than Aretha's impact for much of the sixties. Aretha would eventually dominate the late sixties, seventies, & the eighties, she is the indisputable Queen of Soul. And yet Dionne was no slouch either with her own big hits throughout the same time frame. She has always remained herself & is still very successful & relevant today. MAJOR pass-due PROPS GO TO the resilient and the iconic Dionne Warwick.

    Loved your fun delivery. Dionne Warwick and Nancy Wilson were my favorite singers, with Nancy being my special favorite. It amazed me that they were close friends and yet hearing what different people they were. Nancy was always so kind to her fans. I was also disappointed when when after Nancy's passing, Dionne was asked to comment on their friendship and she said they met at the Grammy Awards when Nancy won for R&B with How Glad I Am, over Dionne's Walk on By. And Dionne said Nancy sang jazz and never should have been nominated in R&B. Truthfully I thought both ladies were slighted and under appreciated by the Grammys and it would be Dionne who would break the barrier and win in the Pop category. I was just disappointed that she threw shade on her old friend, but clearly Ms Warwick was as complicated as the rest of us. And I confess I called Psychic Friends one time for a reading. Enjoyed your post.

      Dionne's life is a scandal, you just don't know anything. 1) The story with Alfie's song, when Dionne and Bacharach were not allowed to realize this song, recorded by Dee Dee (1.5 years!). 2) Twice married to her husband. Dionne paid him alimony in his second marriage 3) Producing other singers. Dionne used them, there were no records. 4) Dionne demanded that Bacharach give all the songs only to her 5) Dionne sued Bacharach 6) Dionne was a spender. She used to lose her mind in stores buying all sorts of crap 7) Dionne was awful to her neighbors in LA 8) Dionne ruined the career of Dee Dee, her sister and half-sister, Judy Clay, who was on the same label with her 9) Marijuana in lipstick 10) TV show with fake psychics 11) Dionne Foundation for helping HIV infected. The money raised was spent by Dionne. There was a big scandal 12) Bankruptcy. Debt to LA and California for 10 million dollars. 13) In real life, Dionne is rude and haughty 14) Dionne only lived for fame and money. Dionne is a good actress, she knows how to please people 15) Dionne loudly quarreled with her husband all over the house when Dee Dee had an important interview. Dee Dee tried to calm them down, but to no avail. The interview was canceled and not finished. 16) Dionne knew who abused Whitney, it certainly wasn't Dee Dee. When Whitney was 12 years old, her abused pastor of their church, whom Cissy was dating. Cissy herself brought him to the house and stayed to watch... Dionne Warrick is probably one of the most scandalous personalities...
