Dionne never looked better or more glamorous than she does here. Her magnificent music accompanied by a great orchestra is such a joy to hear so many years later.
Then you've never seen her "I Didn't Mean To Love You" live performance in 1976 (at The Theatre de l'Empire, Paris) or her "All In Love Is Fair" She also have some amazing lookin 1961 eg Solid Gold
The She deserves the 'Nobel Prize For Singing' (if there was one). Bacharach's composition here is torture to sing. The range and breath control you need here is beyond the capacity of most vocalists
Her voice was at such an extraordinary pitch at this point in her - blessedly, for us - long career; it has a "tinkling" quality that she can throw from contralto to crystal like high-note tonalities - and her composure on stage, pop tunes taken to operatic quality by her persona alone - bravo, bravo, bravissimo! :-)
Dionne really had an extraordinarily large vocal range. I listen back to her earliest recordings in the 60’s and she practically lived in the soprano realm. Her voice was very flexible as it could be as gentle or as harsh as she wanted always bringing an operatic element to her singing something the drinkard/warwick/houston family is known for. Their natural classical approach that is deep rooted in traditional gospel and hymnal singing. And with dionne’s mother being a actual classical lyric soprano and her extensive training in all state choir the art of classical singing might not have been to far fetched for Dionne. Same for whitney her approach in her head voice was always operatic in quality. Very beautiful rounded notes that were bright yet warm
@@donovanrobinson1843 You put it very well - Dionne's training together with her natural gifts make for an exceptional talent that brings so much more to each of her performances of what, by a lesser talent, might be just another "pop" song; also her appearance is so striking - the beautiful couture gowns that she carries so elegantly, her posture, hand gestures -all of it - which is why, imo, she can continue to wow audiences - certainly her distinctive vocal profile is part of it, but it's really her whole uniquely gifted artistic persona - astonishing. :-)
This clip is EVERYTHING! Been watching the PBS "Then Came You" documentary and keep coming back to this! That special was so generous in showing a bunch of classic clips without talking over them. This is one of the best!

I was introduced to Dione Warwick as a 10 YO in the 1990’s. I hated her because she was some lady hated death row records and she was some psycho tarot card freak. 😂. But she sang it best “You gonna need me, One Day” and boy i sure do.
No lie that's a Hard One to answer.. because Honestly they Both were equally Awesome in their prime, they sound similar in their prime, and hell Even when their vocals began to change 💯, it's a tie for me I can't choose lol and I never thought I say that with someone compared to Whitney lol but ONLY Her Cousin can compare equally lol
