@jmlegrairstudio Dionne would sing this nightly in concert for 2 decades. No one dared covered this from her contemporaries didn't dare...Bacharach/ David asked Dionne to help other singers do the song for Broadway.
An artist who I believe never got the recognition she deserved, like why is she just now getting inducted? This song is deemed as one of the most difficult songs in pop music and she does it with ease.
Dionne is an international icon! Only the black community is just now finding out how amazing she is thanks to social media but check her resume shes global🎉
@@aisensantana6765 This is a whole lie. The Black community has always known about Dionne. Just because she was very popular with non-Black audiences doesn't mean Black people didn't know about her. How in the world would the community she comes from not know about her? Younger generations may just be discovering her, but the Black community as a whole has always known she was an icon.
Oh no..... pease don't think that. Dionne was MAJOR and I meanA MAAAAAAAAJJJJJOOOOOOR Star in the 60's She was not at all underrarated or not recognized. It's just that many people today are unaware of how big she was in her prime.
Can we acknowledge her masterful use of breath control . Especially coming out of such a syncopated moment . To be able to flip the switch and to sustain vocal control and purity of tone on one breath !!!!!!!!!!!! 😮 not only did she eat that; she licked the plate and left no crumbs.... Also. Not to mention the control of posture.... this was a master class in technique.
She’s one of my absolute favorites. Such an effortless flow, gorgeous unique tone, and stylistic choices are so specific to her, surprising and pleasing.
This what is meant when a song is created especially for the singer. I can’t see no one else singing this song. Ms Warwick set the bar againfor this one and for her other songs❤❤❤
Ashamed to say I’m just now getting into Miss Warwick. Discovered her music about a week ago and it’s been on repeat in my house since! Love this song and its composition
MS. Dionne is no joke! She is the voice of all voices to take note of. That iconic voice is a great one of a kind! She has always effortlessly moved through vocal register, key changes, and styles of singing with pure perfection while making it look very easy until you try it. She holds the throne over all voices, period❤
She is a true diva......we don't have many like her left. In her era, talent and class went a long way. Today, anyone who raps a few bars, uses profanity, and wears garrish jewelry while their pants are falling off is a star.
Everybody in Black music culture today is not that way! You can't just put us all in a box with the things you hate! This is lazy anti-black rhetoric! This is why the youth cannot stand old heads!!!🤨
I have been listening to Cissy Houston recordings lately following her passing and you can hear her vocal influences on her nieces Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick and of course on Cissy's daughter Whitney Houston. Dionne said at Cissy's funeral that they had lost their matriarch, even though she was only 8 years older than Dionne, Cissy really did help shape their music careers and Dionne and Whitney soared as solo artists even though Cissy's own solo career never saw the same successes. Opera great Leontyne Price is also a cousin to Cissy and Dionne's mother Lee, the talent and class runs strong through the genes in their family.
Criminally underrated singer, deserves to be mentioned alongside the names of Aretha, Gladys and Patti. All of the fundamentals of singing: pitch, breath control, range and emotion she mastered in a way very few have.
YO U KNOW U REALLY got a great singing voice yourself there ya know 👍. But Dioone Warwick and Shirley Bassey are both the most versatile vocalists I've ever heard in 50+ years.
@jmlegrairstudio Thank you for posting and giving a vocal analysis of this performance. Could you do another break down of her vocal intro? I've seen where she starts the song with a high, soprano like belt....
Yo J, first of all thanks for the videos on sliding. You made me impress myself and my mother. Anyway, do you have your own songs you sing or cover? I wanna hear YOU! Your voice is golden. The way you imitate others is done so well I'm anxious to hear what your actual singing voice is or what octave you choose because you sound as if you have lots of range. I don't consider myself an actual singer but I carry a tune quite well. I too am good at imitating others voices on songs but have yet to find my own personal singing voice. Btw I'm over 40.
@Jaron: Great work! Your informative and enlightening analyses have improved my music appreciation. How can we send you requests/suggestions of artists for your reviews?
Mary Wilson (of the Supremes) used to push that she was Dionne Warwick's twin sister vocally. People would agree to her face, then laugh behind her back. She died with only a million in her account. More than Dionne here.
She mentioned years ago that the song was originally given to Dusty Springfield. The problem was Dusty simply couldn't handle it so Burt called her. (This was during the time when she and Burt weren't talking because he decided to work with other artists thus leaving her in the dark.) She went on to say they did the song in two takes
Dionne Warwick is like Diana Ross in a way because they can sing songs that honestly, most R&B Black artists cannot sing, because they do not have the voice control, nor do they have the versatility to sing it in the vein in which it was written, and that does not mean making it a gospel song when it is not. Yet, both can sing soul music too. Dionne came from the church. That is why I do not get the criticism she received as being too white from a segment within the Black community. I always hear the soulfulness, and effortless sound when both singers sing but they sing with the right amount of R&B as the song calls for. You should cover, “Valley of the Dolls” by Dionne, and “To Love Again” by Diana, and you will see the control, versatility, clarity in tone and pitch, and effortlessness of their voices, and that most R&B singers, even the good ones do not have the versatility to sing these songs.
To clarify, I didn't say all......yes there are some hip hop artists I can hang with. I am not anti-black; I'm old enough to remember being called colored. I love young people, but I don't like the way some present themselves in public using the N word to address everyone and have no shame as to what comes out of their mouth. I'm sorry, but that's not black culture. Be blessed.
The curtsy at the end SEEEENT me. Her and Whitney and Aretha were so elegent for that!!!! Can tell they were all connected😭😭😭🤞🏽
Sagittarius, Leo & Aries! They’re all fire signs lol 🔥
Sent!
@@ACloutTokenDidn’t know Whitney was a Leo and Aretha an Aries. Now that I know, it makes SOOO much sense. Especially for Aretha lol
Probably her best performance of Promises, Promises, which is also one of her most difficult songs in her catalogue!
The song is sooooo hard to sing!
It’s truly impossible to sing
@jmlegrairstudio Dionne would sing this nightly in concert for 2 decades. No one dared covered this from her contemporaries didn't dare...Bacharach/ David asked Dionne to help other singers do the song for Broadway.
She had an amazing physique and her dress, hair and makeup is on point!
She literally was perfectly on pitch with the horns when she carried out that 'love'❤
Burt Bacharach wrote songs specifically for Ms. Warwick and her range. No one could do his music the justice that she could. She was one in a million.
The fit and hair is everything here....definitely been enjoying learning about Miss Warwick lately
Her style was ALWAYS 🔥

She’s an Iconic figure!

Watch the song Dionne did prior to "Promises, Promises". Dionne did a cover of "My LOVE" is brilliant.
A pure demonstration of her musicianship. This is a difficult song to perform. Well done!
She’s one of my absolute favorites. Such an effortless flow, gorgeous unique tone, and stylistic choices are so specific to her, surprising and pleasing.

Dionne Warwick's voice is soothing, beautiful, and STRONG. Her songs are real classics❤❤
That bow that she did is the same bow that Whitney has done, Love it.
even the greats have their own catalog of greats that they have been influenced by
Whitney admired and focused everything Ms. "DIONNE". CAN'T blame her, lol❤
Ashamed to say I’m just now getting into Miss Warwick. Discovered her music about a week ago and it’s been on repeat in my house since! Love this song and its composition
All of her early music was composed for her voice in particular by her producers
Even more ashamed that I didn't like her voice growing up. I literally had to become an adult with an ear..to appreciate how great she actually is
You have to do a video of her signing “I’ll never love this way again (1982). It’s 4:40 long AMAZING!!!!!
She looks and sounds beautiful!🌺
One of my FAVORITE vocalists of all time!!!
She is one the greatest! Slept on because we know of her hits as remakes from other popular artists. True legend!!! I am fully obsessed with that clip
She was the perfect voice at the perfect merging of songwriters…
She sings so effortlessly, ALWAYS!!!! One of my favorite artists for sure
I love love love classic Dionne 🥰
MS. Dionne is no joke! She is the voice of all voices to take note of. That iconic voice is a great one of a kind!

I love me some Dionne Warwick!
Elegance, grace and perfect pitch. Just the total package1 ❤
The Bob is bobbing. My favorite singer of all time.
What I love is how she is able to move with the music as well vocally its just beautiful and timeless, simply amazing
One thing about Dionne Warwick, she had style! Hair and wardrobe always on point!!
Legendary woman
This is a woman who knows her instrument! Wow.
Congratulations 🎉 Ms. Dionne 🕊️ #rocknrollhalloffame
Her ability to read and play music helped her, with difficult songs written for her which often only she could sing well.
She is a true diva......we don't have many like her left. In her era, talent and class went a long way. Today, anyone who raps a few bars, uses profanity, and wears garrish jewelry while their pants are falling off is a star.

Her outfit was cute. I hope Teyana Taylor wears this outfit when she plays Dionne in her biopic.
...me too!
I absolutely love you!!!
And I love YOU!
You have a beautiful voice yourself
My God she is so beautiful ❤️
Criminally underrated singer, deserves to be mentioned alongside the names of Aretha, Gladys and Patti. All of the fundamentals of singing: pitch, breath control, range and emotion she mastered in a way very few have.
Only Aretha had more charted songs, Dionne cranked out hit after hits
I really hope you can do an analysis of Ms. Dionne's performance of I Didn't Mean to Love You live in Spain in 1975. That performance made me a fan!
I've been waiting on this!!!❤
You can sang!!!!! great reaction
This song is the equivalent of a Vocal decathalon. It's a vocal gymnastics song requiring speed, accuracy, and agility in equal amounts.
Absolutely love this
YO U KNOW U REALLY got a great singing voice yourself there ya know 👍. But Dioone Warwick and Shirley Bassey are both the most versatile vocalists I've ever heard in 50+ years.
I love this ❤️ !! Thank you so much for doing this video
Indeed
I love this video as well and I love how you break it down piece by piece great job!
Thank you! ✨

I just saw this same video clip on twitter earlier .
You should do I’ll never live this way again
You can see her influence on Luther Vandross! Please review her singing her song, "A House is Not a Home"!!! You will love it!

3:39 lol 😭😭
She was outdoing the horns
Great analysis, but how is she projecting without a microphone back then?
It's called boom mics they're usually hanging from the ceiling and out of sight of the camera
Hi Jaron, please check out two live Samara Joy performances. 'No More Blues' on the Today Show and 'Day by Day' on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
L>love your review and your voice ....

Can you please review oh, how I love Jesus by James Moore, I think you would be delighted with his vocals
Dionne don't need no mic Warrick. They misspelled her name on the cover of her 1st album.
It would be really interesting to see you do Aaliyah's National Anthem
One of the most difficult to sing
Can you please react to…Candice Glover, Jessica Sanchez, DeAndre
Brackensick (Las Vegas)
Can you review Samoht I’m not god live ?
