I was born in East Orange 78 years ago and have been a fan of Dionne since her first hit song. I’m happy to have had so many years of hearing her beautiful voice. I love you Dionne. 💕🌹🥰
I love Dionne. I grew up listening to her music (70's &80's). I was a little disappointed that the narrator failed to mention Dionne's show "Solid Gold." I watched every show back then. #IMissThoseGoodOldDays#
I saw her at the Staples in South Orange, NJ about 2 years ago, my dentists neck of the woods. Dionne looked ahmazing even in her casual clothes, I mean despite her life challenges. I told her "God Bless You" and she said "God Bless You Too Baby." lol love her
I would absolutely LOVE for her to be at the top of the charts one more time. I pray these current artists realize the money could disappear at anytime.. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. Your little children do NOT need shoes costing 1,000. A 16 yr old does not need a birthday party costing 50,000, nor do you Need 15 jeweled watches.Remember who u r, where u came from and that this blessing has come to you for you to be responsible with it.
I know an Italian family in which the husband, a NYC attorney, knew DW. I learned this via one of their sons, with whom I studied journalism. To this day, my friend attends her concerts when possible. I am a bit starstruck.
What is she supposed to do? Bat her big brown eyes? Women have full personalities, just like men. A man is considered mean if he kills someone, a woman is considered mean if she puts someone on hold.
I truly love Ms. Dionne Warwick. My favourite songs of hers are Don't Make Me Over, Alfie, Walk On By, I'll Never Love This Way Again, Deja Vu and That's What Friends Are For ❤️
Like everyday employees, budget and plan for your future. Done right, you can live better on retirement than you did while working. This is how it should be. Your best years are your best years. Rest and play all day!
I knew her as dionne Warwick first and her relation to Whitney Houston years down the line. My mum used to rinse her tapes in the car lol. Always love a bit of Warwick when I'm in a reflective mood
I wonder how many artist today have a pension 🤔🤔 and I completely lost my mind the day she followed me on Twitter absolutely love her not to mention how many times her songs have been covered, and sampled QUEENNNN! 💜👑
Grew up listening to Dionne. My family loved her music. She also got a ton of radio play on the Bay Area radio stations. She was very popular in the 90s when I listening to Soul and Motown nonstop.
Definitely wasn't born when she was the star. I love her classics Walk on by, Don't make me over and my favourite That's what friends are for! She may not have been the best example of financial management, she's still a vocal goddess. Great video keep it up
She is one of a kind, I used to go to my friends house as a child and we would listen to Dione on her moms record player she was smooth and had class and we loved that. Thanks for sharing
I love Dionne Warwick and her music! People really need to look at some of her performances and her albums. She has a voice and knew how to use it. I am surprised that she does not take better care of herself as she has always been slim and trim so it blows my mind that she looks as good as she does. I wish that could have worked for Queen Aretha I wouldn't be heartbroken over her death still. Maybe Dionne has a really good skin care regimen?
So smoking.. Eating chicken and McDonald's makes u look like this at 80? 😕 And here I am trying to eat fruits and veggies... What I will say about Dionne is she doesn't bite her tongue because when she Be isn't an icon because her road in the music industry hasn't been long enough people were mad lol..she's never seemed nice but she seems to be just fine with who she is... I wish her the best... Sad to know she continues to have financial issues...
Some people just have good genes. Smoke like a chimney and eat whatever they want but look incredible and no serious health issues and live to 100 years 😆
@@rrg which is even more heartbreaking to think that they are invalidating Nippy's feelings. I personally believe all victims of abuse, no matter what.
@@dorothyspeaks6997 I understand but did Whitney ever speak out about it on her own? I thought it was all second-hand info. (BTW I haven't watched the documentary).
@@rrg from what I got from the documentary. She told Pat that Cissy would leave them often with different family members because she had to work on the road and she was molested that way. It may not be true but I just always associated that with the trigger for a lot of her pain. I love you and your channel 😭💜
Oh no don’t get it twisted: Dionne Warwick was THE FIRST Whitney Houston in the 60’s. The people writing for songs for her did a great job! I have a couple of her Anthologies and I love to put them on when I take long drives-issa vibe! One time I was in Vegas I saw a big carousel board at the airport that had her and Musiq Soulchild headlining together; she’s even got a song with BONE THUGS N’ HARMONY! There’s so much more her discography has to offer than “Walk On By” and “I Say A Little Prayer”; Dionne was able to hold her own next to the likes of Tina Turner and Aretha, so she’s definitely the real deal.
I thought Dionne Warwick was born & raised in San Jose? 🤔 Fun Fact: Dionne's actual name is Warrick, but on hear real early records, the record companies misprint her name as "Warwick." So she decided to professionally and personally go by "Dionne Warwick" instead of Dionne Warrick. She's 1 of my favorite singers. I am an oldies nerd 🤓
Guess the people who don't know she was big way before Whitney haven't been blessed with that great music from '". Anyone Who Had a Heart, to A House is Not a Home, to Message to Michael " Probably too young and think Rap is good music.
Exactly! When she said most people only know her as Whitney’s cousin.,, what??? No ma’am. Whitney was taken seriously because she had Dionne as her cousin! Then, Whitney made a name for herself.
@@nm1raider758 she not only had those big hits and more, but at that moment in time could have been considered the " biggest black female singer in the World as those Bacharach/ David songs were huge crossover Pop hits loved by everyone and not limited to the " Soul " audience.
🤔 I lost count. How many times did you say she filed bankruptcy? Now, Dionne sell everything thing and downsize to a tiny home. Let go of the house keeper, assistant, and dry cleaners. Do a Vegas residency. I would buy a ticket. Loved her earlier music.
I’m looking forward to her biopic. She mentioned she would like Teyana Taylor to play her. I think she’s signaling to us, that there is more to her than meets the eye. 👀
The reason why she's so slim is probably because of her smoking habit, it probably curbs her appetite and she only eats a little bit of the unhealthy food at a time. Not a diet anyone should follow but it makes sense when you think about it lol. Can't explain why it hasn't affected her health and appearance wise tho, probably good genes
I remember hearing her songs on the radio as a child. I would always change the station because I didn't like her voice. But it seems to have been great to many others. Wish her the best!
Dionne has earned a doctorate degree. She can always teach music at any university. Why is she broke? She’s not like everyone else. I’m sure many universities would pay her top dollar to work for them with her music background..
It’s all very strange. She’s a legend in the music industry. I’ve heard her singing all my life. Maybe she is reaping a bitter harvest. Christians shouldn’t dabble in mediums…
Her original last name was Warrick. The record company spelled it inaccurately, but she kept it. This was very early in her career, you missed that part of the story. She is a living legend
Wow! The cigarettes' haven't killed her?! Out here lookin' like she 55 and she's 80, LOL, smh. My mom loves Dionne Warwick. I took her to a play on her life at the Chicago Ensemble Theater about 3 years ago. It was amazing.
I love Ms Dionne Warwick and her sister De De they.are my favorite artist l followed the two of them from childhòod until now and still love and admire the two of them Although Dee Dee is gone home to be with the Lord She left some great music with us l still adore hearing Dees grand sound There is no other like Dee Dee and Dionne Sing on in heaven Dee Dee Dionne keep being as elegant bueautiful as you are Congradulations on your Kennedy center award you are the best
Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston are the same kind of pretty I know they’re related but I’ve always felt that dealing with Whitney’s mother❤love her voice
My, My, it's like we can't trust anyone; for someone to have slipped that in her purse when it wasn't there when she lefted home saids alot about people who want to stain your character, it's like you can't trust anyone. She was and always will be a legend in my eyes; Love ALL her music but there was something about the song she recorded called... Deja vue. 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
See her hair style at 4:19...Back in the late 70s and early 80s (during the Disco era) Dionne's hair was STYLED to the Gods...her short cut stay laid!!!!!!
