Dionne didn’t do power ballads much like her younger cousin did, but man was she more than capable. That was simply breathtaking. She & Whitney had the same eyes and bone structure and often times the same mannerisms. You could really see Whitney in Dionne when she finished the song. Park & bark, a mic & a light, no one can do this style of singing today.
Actually, she did many power ballads in her live concerts. Also, you see Dionne in Whitney, not the other way around. Whitney absorbed Dionne’s performing style as much as she could.
Classic - one of kind - superb - unequaled ... nothing does Dionne full justice in describing her talent - I love just watching how she works the fingers of her left hand while she's singing, every part of her engaged with the music and performance - sublime!
Carson loved having her on, and always gave her 2 songs and sometimes 3, which was unheard of on the Tonight Show, because she never phoned it in. She brought it. In the history of the TS, her performances rank on the all-time great list.
I know Whitney was so proud of her cousin. That was magnificent. Every great singer has that one amazing song that transcends decades and generations and THIS is that song for Dionne Warwick.
Whitney proud of Ms. Dionne What the hell!! Where do you think Whitney got it from? Ms. Dionne Been in this game way b4 Whitney!! Whitney wasn't even recording when this performance happened, smdh, lol. Whitney learned everything she could from Ms. Dionne and still Ms. Dionne can't be duplicated!! Sounds Quite insulting!! Got to be joking!!!!!!!!!!!
Dionne is a far better singer then Whitney ever was. She started out alright but she never had the legs that Dionne had. I"ve never seen a live performance of Whitney's that matched this.
@@gregslevin4188That is your opinion. Whitney looked way better than her, had more captivating moments and appealed to a wider audience. Hence, the awards and sells. You can say what you want but numbers and data prove that not your opinion
Wow! A live performance is always the best. And when a singer of her caliber makes those variations in a live performance like she did here, you can really understand how the singer is just as important as and equal to all the 'other' musical instruments at play. Woweewoweee!
She always delivers the goods. That is why Hal David and Bert Bacharach picked her as their flag ship star. Loved her since the early sixties. What a set of pipes she has!
can you imagine the vocal battles that went on during family gatherings? Just think we only know about Cissy, Dionne and Whitney......you know they have cousins that chose other professions that can riff the hell out of a song! Yikes!!
Whitney Houston may be known as the superstar of this family, but Dionne Warwick has always been favorite. In the 1980's, Dionne was absolutely at the top of her game. She was singing with confidence and a beautiful full tone with enormous power. A true Queen and Diva. Dionne Warwick, we love you! Thank you for all of your music throughout the years!
Wow!!! This is absolutely amazingly breath taking!! This maybe the best one on you tube!!! That Ms. Warwick got breath support for days!! Awesome performance as always. All those damn note changes on those sustained notes!!!
Thank you for,sharing thus this. I want to get doc severenson and recreate this moment. I know Mrs warwicks voice can't do it now. But the band leader could
I noticed the musicians added a carribean beat to this masterpiece that fits very well with Ms. Dionne's magnificent powerful voice! That music Director was on it!! Watching Ms. Dionne like a hawk!!!, lol
Dionne Warwick a true pure gold voice always have a humble attitude in speaking and singing she may not be the Queen of soul as Aretha Franklin but can complete with any soul singers.
Cosmos Daniel listen to her version of Do right woman. It’s on TH-cam and on iTunes. She could blow with Aretha six times to Sunday! She doesn’t get praise because her early career was spent singing crossover songs. Check her church performances. Beast!!! 😆
@@singingmanmd Aretha could sing circles around Dionne, and everyone knows that including Dionne. Complimenting is fine, but keep your feet on the ground.
you wouldn't happen to have her 1990 carson performances promoting the cole porter record her performance of "its' alright with me was " was incredible.
Before Whitney Houston, there was Dionne Warwick
...and Marilyn McCoo
Amen!
Seated with legs crossed...hitting them notes.. truly a beast of a singer. Love you miss D. Thank you for fifty plus years of fantastic music ❤️
She is Michael Jordan level in her craft.
@@bellazoe1 She is indeed!!!

I agree with Chris, a young Dionne was belting here there and everywhere! She's not only capable, she did it!
Dionne is still performing in Vegas:-),
Dionne is Whitney’s BluePrint period.
Yes reason she was much more on pop that Whitney
Who noticed Ms. Dionne directing the musicians as she slay those high belts while seated and legs crossed🤣🤣🤣🤣. Epic!!!!!
Even the musicians clapped😆
Dionne proudly walks, grabs a mic, take a seat and kicks a××😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That “on” at the end choked me up! Dionne is a national treasure.
Carson loved having her on, and always gave her 2 songs and sometimes 3, which was unheard of on the Tonight Show, because she never phoned it in. She brought it. In the history of the TS, her performances rank on the all-time great list.
Dionne surely had some pipes on her. I loved how she could just leap octaves. Amazing!
You caught that too?!!! My starzzzz!!
wow‼️❤️💯
Same. She was the Whitney Houston of her time.
Those octave leaps are not recognizable..
@@lordvoldemort5725 Whitney was the Dionne (along with Dionne) of her time...
Dionne being a lady, seated like a queen, singing with so much ease and conviction!

that key change is EVERYTHING!
From that first note, that audience was her. We have loved her from the beginning. Limitless Talent! Bravo!
Ms. Dionne said Let me just sit down right here and cross my legs and show you how its really done 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!
Exactly!

DIONNE WARWICK WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF THE TOP DOGS...........
She always delivers the goods. That is why Hal David and Bert Bacharach picked her as their flag ship star. Loved her since the early sixties. What a set of pipes she has!
Live singing, live music. ❤️😭
Grandissima Artista...pochi nomi al mondo sono al suo livello! Dionne Warwick è Unica, voce potente, raffinata e sensuale.
She blew that out! Go on Dionne! There was no lack of talent in that gene pool; her cousin Whitney got it honestly! 😂
can you imagine the vocal battles that went on during family gatherings? Just think we only know about Cissy, Dionne and
Whitney......you know they have cousins that chose other professions that can riff the hell out of a song! Yikes!!
@@hjklegacy1283 Deedee was one of the best singer in the family, as per dionne.
That whole family saaaangs including Ms. Dionne's son David!! I know their family get togethers are a full orchestration, lol!!!
The whole family was a treasure. They're related to famous soprano Leontyne Price as well. So of course all had powerhouse voices.
Most blacks do have the genes for singing.
Seated, legs crossed she’s the boss!!!
Truly boss!!!!!
Damn, well just damn! She just took the damn song and ran with it! I'm not talking about a light jog either, I mean a frickin' marathon! 😲🎤💋
Dionne was on top of the world!
You're absolutely right - all I'd had is "Ms. Dionne IS on the top of the world"! 🙂
All you can say after that is DAMN!!

Beautiful performance!
Vocal class here!!
I swear i hear whitney in some of these belts. I’ve been so sleep on this lady. My goodness she sings.
Now, that's a breath taking performance!!
Voice on point! Also love watching the musicians in the background get ready for their parts as the song carries on.
DIONNE; MY DEAR FRIEND YOU HAVE ALWAYS MADE SINGING AND VOCALIZING LOOK AS EASY AS BREATHING!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!⚘ Christofa
True and true and true again!!
La classe è come il buon vino che migliora col tempo...!#*
Truly a great version ❤ I've listened to at least 15 different ones now...and this one makes it to top 3 ❤❤
Wow!!! This is absolutely amazingly breath taking!! This maybe the best one on you tube!!! That Ms. Warwick got breath support for days!! Awesome performance as always. All those damn note changes on those sustained notes!!!
"Had" breath support for days. Kinda sad we have to age out at such young ages. My mind is on the next world where 100 years is a baby.
I must've watched this ten times since I found it. What a phenomenal singer and a gracious woman. Love her.
Always been a class act
What a beautiful woman, and talent. And that's from a Tennessee white southern boy.
Dionne is no doubt a champion. Don't show off, never try to out sing anyone on stage just humble. Love her.
Go on with your bad self! 😉
Good for you. She is a class act
There are no words
My favourite singer of all time. Such a beautiful & gentle woman. Her singing is so emotional, brings tears to my eyes. God Bless, Dionne….xx
She ate this ALL the way up 😍
Solo l'estensione vocale,la classe e il talento di Dionne Warwick...hanno potuto rendere immortale un pezzo così. Meravigliosa Artista!
Thank you for,sharing thus this. I want to get doc severenson and recreate this moment. I know Mrs warwicks voice can't do it now. But the band leader could
WOW! I know I'll never hear live music like this again! What a performance, what a lady!!
Oh my God! Amazing! Perfect! I love Dionne! The best! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
SING that song, Ms. Warwick!!!

I never thought I’d have somebody to compare Whitney too
Que voz, que espetáculo! E olha que ela está cantando ao vivo. Bom demais!!!
Passano gli anni ma dentro si rimane eternamente giovani....
Dionne ne è la co ferma !!!
As one of her psychic friends, I have to say that was magnificent!
She said let me just cross my legs and show ‘em how it’s done ❤
❤
WOW
Now that's where Whitney
Came from there.
That's In the Family !

Amazing. I would love to see modern singers do THIS. Jennifer H was great but... no one in the modern idiom can do this...
Squall Dionne...she got her a piece at the end....😍😍😍
WOW 🤩

I don't, wish I did though.
Oh my God it's amazing 😍

And leapt right up on the stage! 💃
Dionne killed the ending of that song.
Truly wonderful. Love her.
I like the mahestro 3:37
Yoo are the only one that ever made me feel this way ever
Una particularidad todas las versiones de este tema que hace Dionne son distintas, y todas fantásticas.
So much love from Japan.

That’s Dionne’s drummer.
