Thrilled you did this. I requested this under your most recent Morissette reaction about 2 weeks ago. Cynthia has such vocal class and her presence is so regal! One of the BEST we have today! My parents had every album Dionne made, but I discovered this song as an instrumental on Stevie Wonders album where he played it on Harmonica! Check his version out too because is something I've listened to half my life. That's how much impact it has. Burt Bacharach wrote some of the best songs of his generation! I cannot wait to see Cynthia in the Wicked movie. She is going to devour the role as Elphaba!
Its always important that your breath control, diction, phrasing is on point singing a Dionne Warwick song. Cynthia did a great job. I think she sung it a key higher but she pulled it off incredibly.
She was great, hard not to think of how great Dionne was in her prime singing this but taking more time with it, clearly she was touched by the tribute.
Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote this and most everything else for Dionne- she was their Muse. Cynthia can sing anything. She played Aretha Franklin very well on TV as well. Cher sang this to perfection as well! ❤
