Why people cannot enjoy good old classics without mocking to nowadays music? So much disrespect.. are there no good talents today?! That's false and that comment is unnecessary
March 28: this song. I remember being 5/6/7 yo and every time they played it I used to cry… not out of sadness tho… just made me feel DEEP. I didn’t understand the lyrics didn’t know who these people were but the music… just the music. Flash forward 20 years I’ve been around, I lived in London for years and back in Spain this song come back to my mind. Damn I needed to hear it to know what’s really about… it comes out that I’ve always been who I am and even when I was a kid and even without knowing English I could understand that the friendship that I give, IF AIN’T REAL, AIN’T NOTHING. Those that call me a friend know what I’m about. As far as I know, that’s what friends are for. I give it, I don’t expect it butI demand it.
Me. I had three bestfriends who I no longer see. They are different people and distant. They have become conservative, don't really listen to music. And strictly following a faith. I am left with sweet memories of our school days.
I was lucky to see this performance in 88' for an AIDS benefit. I remember it well. Very emotional and just so very special. It will stick with me forever. RIP Burt Bacharach. You created something very special and lasting.
callie ford ......Crazy thing is Steveie is pushing 70 come May and he still can hit the higher registers he’s famous for and sounds like he did way back when.
Dionne called the others to join them.. Shes such a class... It was her idea to invite her friends to record this song which became one of the most iconic songs in history. LOVE DIONNE!
Christian Espedilla I am a big fan of Ms.Dionne and my family-dad and sisters.She is too good -heavy, deep, smooth, voice.Stylish singing, duets with anybody easily.Phrasing so amazing.Love her from India....God bless her. And you take care too....Enjoy this kinda music....Cheers👍👍💐💐💐
@@noelleslie6665 I'm a huge fan of Ms. Dionne. Probably her #1!!! I am truly impressed if how you describe her talent!! You are spot on with the exception of a few more adjectives left out lol!! Good job!! I can tell you and your family loves and knows Ms. Dionne's talent❤❤❤❤
This is why I will always love Dionne Warwick. Look at the uncontrollable emotion she displays throughout this performance. Clearly she has a deep connection to this song and simply cannot hold back the tears toward the end. Always a gracious and generous performer, she shares the song and stage with her friends and is moved by their talents. This is an amazing piece of music history.
This clip is telling why i so in love tith 80's artists and music! There will not be another 80's! So many classics and true musicians ! It was the most precious era in pop music history!
5:39 Burt Bacharach surrounded by Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder. One of the highest points of cultural existence. If only the modern Grammy's were about something like this - love, fellowship, and high art - instead of whatever it has sunk to.
The fantastic four. What a great song. I am 63 years old and think of all my friends I grew up with when this song came out. Many of us are still in contact with me to this day. That’s what friend are for!!
In this live version they all sound like each of them is trying to OUTSING one another, but even though Miss Gladys sings the least lines in this song, she wipes her butt with all 3 of them, (specially Miss Dion who seems to be running out of voice and/or breath every 2 words) and Gladys shines the brightest!
Stunning performance of "That's What Friends Are For" one of the greatest ever songs, total anthem sung by the finest singers of a generation and beyond...
Thank you for the lifetime of memories. is spite of myself being of a color which stands out in any crowd as judged for action never myself nor any of my relatives had nor have ever discriminated over such laym reasoning outing no more than description of our innocence. My entire family has loved you our lifetime You gave us the sense of hope. Thank you D. YVO
THIS IS AWESOME! REGARDLESS OF RACE, NATIONALITY, COLOR THE STAGE SHOWS THAT WE ALL CAN BE FRIENDS WITH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ONES DIFFERENCES. May we all try to show this love always not just at sporting & music events!
Yeah wouldn't that be a dream come true a would without racism killing jealousy and staying young forever serving the most High god of abraham Isaac and Jacob its a beautiful tbing don't you think
Sonofnun777 Well Said...very well said. We could probably get by if we would just learn to respect one anothers differences! I cant imagine why thats so damn hard!
Shit! In this live version they all sound like each of them is trying to OUTSING one another, but even though Miss Gladys sings the least lines in this song, she wipes her butt with all of them, cause she shines the brightest!
Skyn, he has the dark glasses on because he cried often with this song, and the black suit as a sign of mourning and respect for all the people who were suffering and dying from Aids. This song actually became "The Song" that paid homage for all the lives lost through that vicious disease.
This song reminds me of my friends I lost. People these days have absolutely no idea what its like to go to 3 funerals a week burying your friends that were healthy and fine a week prior.
I can't count how many tears have fallen since I was introduced to this song & now seeing the video is causing a flood warning for my area...😅😅❤😭😭😭😭 they all sing so beautifully together and Stevie Wonder is the God of musicianship!!
_Poxa vida!! Lá se vão 31 anos!! O tempo é implacável demais conosco, não nos perdoa mesmo... 😒😕😞😔!!_ _Parece até que foi ontem, de anos maravilhosos musicalmente, que parece que não teremos mais!! 😔😔😔!!_ _Alguns aí deste vídeo nem estão mais entre nós, pois já "partiram para o andar de cima"!!_ _Restam as lembranças, as boas recordações, e vídeos como este em que podemos matar um pouco a nossa saudade que "dói"!! 😒😕😞😔😔😔🇧🇷!!!!_
More talent on that stage than the entire music industry in 2021.
Sadly I wish this wasn’t true. only silk sonic and a few others putting out timeless real music in 21
There's also a version with Vandross and Houston that's incredible.
@@Thizzfather yes its superb.
Why people cannot enjoy good old classics without mocking to nowadays music? So much disrespect.. are there no good talents today?! That's false and that comment is unnecessary
@@matanbar9151 disrespect for what? And who in todays music industry is comparable to Dione Warwick or Stevie Wonder?
It's February 24th 2024. I'm still listening to this beautiful 😢 song and yes I'm teary-eyed . Please take care and god bless. 🤗🦋
That's what friends are for! ❤😊
So True !! 😊🦋
Will never forget these beautiful people and their music

No effects, no auto-tune, no audio trickery. Just pure, raw talent....and friendship ;)
Looking like microphone is high quality such as sennheizer, sony etc. The audio output will follow as its prices
Why only one is working

Naturally they'll amaze us 🎉

Seeing Burt Bacharach there, what it must have been like to be among all that talent performing your composition. What a talent. RIP
The times were musicians were really musicians.
Genuine artistry. It does with our God gene.
In that way, they appreciate talents and music more than today's artists.
@@theassassin8057 I'd say with Mariah, Whitney and Celine they were the last of this kind of singer. Pure talent
Well becsuse of piracy we now have garbage artists.
Yup.......i missed old times.....
この曲は本当に豪華メンバーですね。聴き応え満載です。私はスティーヴィーのハーモニカとエルトン・ジョンのパーツが特に好きです。
Whatever happened to great meaningful music!!
Gladis Knight just kicks ass on this song along with Stevie!!!
Yes sir! Stevie and Gladys are beyond this world
Riight, And the Rest Aren't So Bad Them Selves, Especially Elton John, I Just Love Them All! 💞💝💞

Verdade o tempo passa e só nos resta lembranças e Saudades 😭😓
Vdd, esse tempo era de excelentes músicas e cantores... momento de matar saudades
Não tem como não se emocionar! as maiores vozes de todos os tempos!
Vdde choro tanto meu Deus
