Dionne is the real deal!! She studied music in college and came from a very talented family of vocalist. She enunciates every word and has perfect control of her voice!! Amazing and legendary! Burt Bacharach, Hal David and Dionne were heaven sent. We are blessed with their beautiful music!!
Not surprised - in all her performances - either in a closed studio production like this video, or in front of a full blown live orchestra on a outdoor festival stage, she just walks right on, doesn't miss a beat finding her spot, and invariably nails it on the very first note, no matter how difficult - it's stunning craftsmanship
You sound like me ! I’m 32 and I’m definitely an old soul! I hear this & I resonate with it so much! I’ve always been intrigued by music from the 60/70 any music that wasn’t current lol.
Actually she was one of if not the first black pop singer and that does not diminish her in any way infact she helped lead the way to Soul\RnB crossover
luis grant yep, your absolutely correct, the voice of an angel, she could not loose with Burt at the helm writing her, it love her voice since I was a little girl and I'm 54 now🦋
Man...Dionne Warwick was just totally indescribable! There really are no superlatives to do justice to her artistry! And...my goodness...Burt Bacharach's lush, soulful orchestration and production...MY LORD!!🙏❤️👍👏
My big sister was listening to her in the late 60s. I was much younger, but noticed something special in her voice and the songs written for her. She sang songs that many singers today could not pull off due to the harmonic content and floating/changing time signatures. Absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏾👏🏾❤️
I believe that Dionne started out singing Gospel music. To this day I have never heard a vocalist with a more beautiful tone to their voice. Her songs are sheer poetry and mezmerizes her audience as she sings her narratives. IMHO, there has never been a better musical team than Dionne, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their songs have remained timeless for six decades. 😅
Dionne owns this beautiful song for all time., her talent is phenomenal. The great composer Burt Bacharach spotted her wonderful voice and was instrumental in helping her popularity to soar. Love his musical arrangement of this piece.
@@richardharris8867 The 60s did have a plethora of great songwriters - Bacharach and David, King and her husband, McCartney and Lennon, Mancini, over at Motown Holland, Dozier, Holland and so many others. And singers who could sing, not just look "hot" on a screen.
As a toddler I was with my mom shopping when this played through an old hi fi stereo record player console and I stopped to listen and starting crying, I'm 63 and it still brings the little boy out of me
Yes me and I get them whenever I listen to this record this record is a masterpiece even from the beginning when Dionne starts with anyone whoever loved it catches me off guard everytime it's like seeing a face suddenly but slowly at the same time appear out of complete darkness this is the Bacharach David Warwick trio at their best
The story of the 1960's would be empty without that voice and such a gracious lady. We suffered strife in the era but music such as this balanced an unbalanced world.
In all fairness, this is lip synched. If you watch the actual video of her singing it live in a concert from around the same period, she is clearly putting in some effort.
Dionne Warwick is celebrating her 81 birthday today, December 12, 2021 She was born in Orange, New Jersey on December 12, 1940. She is an American singer, television host, and former Goodwill Ambassador for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest US hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on her chart history on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart. She is one of the most-charted female vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998 (12 of them Top Ten), and 80 singles in total - either solo or collaboratively - making the Hot 100, R&B and/or adult contemporary charts
There is a fragility in her voice, something very delicate that matches up so well with the music and lyrics. For me nothing captures the atmosphere of early to mid 60s like Dionne Warwick singing Bacharach/David.
Well put! My mother use to say the same thing...she had ALL of her records as well as Burt Bacharach, A&M artiats as well(Sergio Mendes).….long story short I was 5 at the time and remember how music and art influenced the world around me. It was a BEAUTIFUL time musically!
Lovely... Never Love like this Again & Love at second sight, are seldom heard. I cried when I heard it first again after many years in YT, a year or so ago and saved it. Songs like these helped me survive a painful divorce over a decade ago. That love never left. It just goes person to person. What matters is how you felt with someone. And how they were having been loved by you!
Here we see Dionne laying the ground work for that poise and grace of performing that Whitney Houston would later adopt as well. The walk, the gestures, the coolness of effortless glamour!
Joseph Rollo Having ties to Dionne and Aretha were well-known facts from the first moment she stepped on stage. Clive Davis made sure of it. She sure as hell didn't inherit her long, lean physique or performing style from Cissy. That's for sure lol Seems like the older Whitney got the more she was starting to look like Dionne.
Quite possibly the best effort by Burt, Hal, and Dionne. This haunting melody drives straight to the heart. It's impossible to listen to this only once
THE HAUNTING MELODY , THAT IMMORTAL SAX SOLO , THE HEARTFELT LYRICS , AND THE DELICATE EMOTIONAL VOCALS , BACHARACH , DAVID , WARWICK,THE GREATEST TRIO IN THE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC .
RIP Burt Bacharach. We will miss you as a person. We’ll remember you listening to all your worldfamous compositions. thank you Burt. thank you Sir ! RIP.
Daniel Morcilio I was born in 1960 and my mom and dad loved Dione. All m6 aunt and uncle loved her. She was a classy singer with a beautiful voice. Try listening to Theme from the valley of the dolls without crying? Her songs were on r and b and pop charts , she was a true pioneer. And if you watch her you see Whitney Houston in her?
The Queen, absolutely the best. The emotion in her voice tore into your heart. I'm 63, listening since the early 60's, there have been many greats but no one can compare to Dionne. You think Burt might have known something? Her songs still pull me in after all these years.
I had the good fortune of meeting Dionne in O'Hare airport many many years ago when she was my favorite singer. She was very kind and with no airs at all. I still love to listen to with even greater appreciation than before
I was 14 years old when this record was played at a church record hop. In the dim lighting I worked up the nerve to ask that young lady to dance. She agreed and helped create a lifelong, sweet memory. This record is my all-time favorite by Dionne Warwick. PWG
This amazing song performed by this amazing woman was heard across America in the AM radio pop music days of the 1960s. A hauntingly beautiful expression of love by the amazing Dionne Warwick. Composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist colleague Hal David rounded out this phenomenal trio of music artisans. Powerful stuff. God is great.
Dionne was one of the greatest singers to come out of the 60s.She helped mold soul music to pop music and yet pave the way for many females of her time.Dusty Springfield did several of her songs.Different styles but both great.What a time in music to see such amazing talent.A legend to last forever.God bless her.
But tell the entire truth tho. Great Britain was EXTREMELY racist at the time and didn't allow black performances on radio play or at large venues so when Burt wrote songs for Dionne he also asked Dusty and Cilia to do them too because they would get played places Dionne wouldn't
breaks my heart to think that young people may not have the opportunity to experience artists like these writers, arrangers,musicians and exceptional vocal artists in their lifetime......I remain hopeful......
You simply do not hear genius like this, both music and vocals are top notch here! The music actually takes you on a journey, and touches one's soul on so many levels.
She I'd a once in a lifetime vocal true talent. She sound the same in concert or in the studio. You don't see today's talent that even begin to match her voice. She is and will always a legend.
She has cheekbones for days and the raw material that became beautiful, once she met professional makeup and performance support people. I don't like looking at photos of myself at that age, either -- not many people do. What a talent!
Oh my Lord! She is still one the greatest vocalists ever. Her Bacharach/David song are among the greatest in pop history. Walk On By easily fits into the top ten singles of all time-it’s that good.
Over here in the UK, we had an evening of her work on one of our major channels on Friday last. I am an unavowed metal-head but was blown away with the quality of her voice. Genius. xx
When you have heard the best, the rest can only be a complement or a weak imitation .Dionne Was the standard that all the rest of the singers mentioned in the preceding post tried to duplicate.Dionne voice made the song writers rich as her superior interpretive and tender embrace of the lyrics were so powerful and compelling with out equal, a Goddess in Human Form.
My granddad loved this woman. I remember him speaking so fondly of her. It was in the 80s. I was only a preteen, but I remember how much his heart lite up about Ms Warwick. Oddly enough I had absolutely no clue that she was Whitney’s cousin, who we (the younger generation) was falling in love with as well. We fell so far in love we named Whitney The Voice! Well Oprah did. Lol but we all agreed. Talk about serendipity!!! Both of those women wrote the song track to so many lives..😉
Oh wow! This song brings back so many memories. The golden years of music, the innocent 60’s with so many talented singers but especially Dionne and her unmatched voice and style. ❤️❤️
I’ve loved Dionne since the sixties, a truly fabulous vocalist throughout her long career. I’m seeing her perform live for the first time next week when she’s doing her last tour of Europe; I’m looking forward so much to hearing her sing, it’s always been my dream…. dreams do come true!!!
Saw her many years ago at Lincoln Center in NYC. AMAZING concert. No frills, no embellishments, no costume changes.. nothing but TALENT on stage singing.. it was FANTASTIC!
Dionne is the real deal!! She studied music in college and came from a very talented family of vocalist. She enunciates every word and has perfect control of her voice!! Amazing and legendary! Burt Bacharach, Hal David and Dionne were heaven sent. We are blessed with their beautiful music!!
nothing I can add to your comment. Warwick + Bacharach + David = dream team
Reports are that when she recorded it, she nailed it in one take.
Incredible soul.
Not surprised - in all her performances - either in a closed studio production like this video, or in front of a full blown live orchestra on a outdoor festival stage, she just walks right on, doesn't miss a beat finding her spot, and invariably nails it on the very first note, no matter how difficult - it's stunning craftsmanship
That was common in those days because singers and musicians actually had talent and honed their skills touring.
It's 2023 & this SONG
gives me the feeling
it DID in 1963 the 1st TIME I
heard my Dad playing it!
I'm still MESMERIZED by her VOICE🎤❤️💯
Same.
Simple reason: It's a masterpiece!
Me too darlin'. ❤
That's what great songs and artists do!
I’m 35 years old, and I LOVE DIONNE. My grandma once told me that I’m a old spirit in a young body.
You sound like me ! I’m 32 and I’m definitely an old soul! I hear this & I resonate with it so much! I’ve always been intrigued by music from the 60/70 any music that wasn’t current lol.
Elegance, femininity and such a beautiful voice.
A classy lady in everything, and am amazing interpreter.
Dionne was not a R&B singer, she was not a Pop singer, she was just a top notch vocalist. Anything sung by Miss Warwick was outstanding.
she was absolutely a pop singer
Actually she was one of if not the first black pop singer and that does not diminish her in any way infact she helped lead the way to Soul\RnB crossover
luis grant yep, your absolutely correct, the voice of an angel, she could not loose with Burt at the helm writing her, it love her voice since I was a little girl and I'm 54 now🦋
agreed Throw in a little Bacharach and you really got something
Absolutely true. Ms. Dionne has everything, period, no classification needed!!!!
*CONGRATULATIONS to DIONNE* for receiving the *GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD*-2019 !!!
Did she get her Kennedy already? huhu it's long overdue
Man...Dionne Warwick was just totally indescribable! There really are no superlatives to do justice to her artistry! And...my goodness...Burt Bacharach's lush, soulful orchestration and production...MY LORD!!🙏❤️👍👏
Wow! You took the right out of my mouth.....gives me goosebumps....
@@robertastone7155I soooo agree!!
Burt Bacharach just passed, Feb 2023. He wrote the music, Hal David was the lyricist on all those classic Dionne Warwick records. RIP.
My big sister was listening to her in the late 60s. I was much younger, but noticed something special in her voice and the songs written for her. She sang songs that many singers today could not pull off due to the harmonic content and floating/changing time signatures. Absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏾👏🏾❤️

Dionne owns this beautiful song for all time., her talent is phenomenal. The great composer Burt Bacharach spotted her wonderful voice and was instrumental in helping her popularity to soar. Love his musical arrangement of this piece.
It worked both ways; Bacharach and David owe their phenomenal success to Dionne as much as she owes hers to them.

Anyone out there whom is getting MAJOR chills running up and down their spines right about now ??!!

Real music, Real talent, no lip synching, live natural talent you will never find again.
The story of the 1960's would be empty without that voice and such a gracious lady. We suffered strife in the era but music such as this balanced an unbalanced world.
Absolutely no strain or exertion when she sings even on the high notes. I'm sure the angels in heaven sing the same way. Phenomenal voice.
She isn't singing live
Everyone knows Dionne's voice doesn't waver..she does it effortlessly.
In all fairness, this is lip synched. If you watch the actual video of her singing it live in a concert from around the same period, she is clearly putting in some effort.
Look at those cheek bone .look like it made of steel.Every one is beautiful .in their own way..Remerkable

That's the point that X Factor etc are missing, you can't manufacture talent, it rises to the surface of its own accord.
Enought said!
Well put! My mother use to say the same thing...she had ALL of her records as well as Burt Bacharach, A&M artiats as well(Sergio Mendes).….long story short I was 5 at the time and remember how music and art influenced the world around me. It was a BEAUTIFUL time musically!
Cilla Black was bloody awful imo.
Lovely...
Never Love like this Again & Love at second sight, are seldom heard. I cried when I heard it first again after many years in YT, a year or so ago and saved it. Songs like these helped me survive a painful divorce over a decade ago. That love never left. It just goes person to person. What matters is how you felt with someone. And how they were having been loved by you!
Her voice is so incredibly sweet and clear. You could hear the Heartbreak in this song. Such a different time thank you Dionne
We were blessed to have this music in our lives
+Montgomery Denzer. What a time it was.
Yes and WE survived it. Man our generationis dropping like flys
Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh yes
Yes this music helped form my life
Here we see Dionne laying the ground work for that poise and grace of performing that Whitney Houston would later adopt as well. The walk, the gestures, the coolness of effortless glamour!
she was a natural on stage...
Ironically, Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwicke were second cousins
Joseph Rollo

She sure as hell didn't inherit her long, lean physique or performing style from Cissy. That's for sure lol Seems like the older Whitney got the more she was starting to look like Dionne.
Speaking the truth
Yesss
Quite possibly the best effort by Burt, Hal, and Dionne. This haunting melody drives straight to the heart. It's impossible to listen to this only once
I think promises, promises was their best. It's hard to sing in a play. Phrasing is an unusual tempo and chords are sharps.
@@loisbeyer5336 that is a difficult number with all the modulation and tempos
One of the greatest voices of this world ❤️
Agreed
THE HAUNTING MELODY , THAT IMMORTAL SAX SOLO , THE HEARTFELT LYRICS , AND THE DELICATE EMOTIONAL VOCALS , BACHARACH , DAVID , WARWICK,THE GREATEST TRIO IN THE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC .
All the above!
😕😢
The only daughter among my children her middle name is Dionne .lt was easy t find a name for her.God bless Dionne Warrick known as Warwick.
Amen to everything you said everytime I hear this record it takes me over the edge it KNOCKS ME OUT!!
RIP Burt Bacharach. We will miss you as a person. We’ll remember you listening to all your worldfamous compositions. thank you Burt. thank you Sir ! RIP.
Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick,Aretha Franklin,Donna Summer, Tina Turner, what a singers!
That voice. I was raised listening to that voice. Have never heard anything that can compare. So uniqe. Love this classy lady none can ever compare.
Hello Nancy, How are you doing?
The 60"s Dionne,and the rest is history.
God bless her voice , her style was off the charts , people dislike her because she chose the classical style of singing , well she's classy !!!
Who could dislike her?
+g bridgman black people thought she was too white whatever that means. I reading her book right now. I wasn't born yet when this came out.
Marcus B What a crock. Too "white?" Who ever heard of such a thing? It doesn't matter what her critics say. She's left her mark on musical history.
g bridgman
Well said !!!

Just phenomenal - no other word for Dionne. What a beautiful song.
What a voice. Burt Bacharach loved her voice too! I feel fortunate to have grown up with what true vocal talent and meaningful music meant!
cilla was the best at this song hands down
I bet Bacharach loved also other qualities of Dionne. Lovely, young woman, a diamond - anybody would fall in love with her.
One can't teach a beautiful voice, one either has it or doesn't.
@@@robertmasina4610 / So true!!
Some of the young people are not aware of all this beautiful music So Sad
From I was a kid, now I'm close 50. She's a legend ❤
What a beautiful woman, with a great voice..

he did it for Cilla to in the UK same song
Agreed
Warwick 60's perfection.
Man it don't get much sweeter than this
As a child I understood this song. Brought tears to my eyes. Then and now.
How fantastic to have the great Burt Bacharach introducing the song and the performer. Who could be better?
How much does Dionne owe to Burt B and Hal D??
@DeGrate1896 Great comment. I think roselyn might be confusing Dionne Warwick with Kate Smith.
@@IanPunter Tons. I always wonder if she fully appreciated being the primary interpreter of their fantastic catalog.
I wondered why he seemed so emotional... interesting.
@@rr7firefly honestly it was a mutual beneficial relationship. They gained just as much from having Dionne as she did.
Dionne owns this. One of the greats of all time.
I had the good fortune of meeting Dionne in O'Hare airport many many years ago when she was my favorite singer. She was very kind and with no airs at all. I still love to listen to with even greater appreciation than before
& no auto tune like these days
Beautiful
She ,Burt, Hal paved the way for a magnificent decade ahead. That dignified the glories 60,s. Class and a society of promise.
……and hope.
2:39 onwards goes epic
The GREATEST SONG SHE EVER RECORDED !!! ABSOLUTELY MONUMENTAL !! NO "cover version" even comes CLOSE !!!!

breaks my heart to think that young people may not have the opportunity to experience artists like these writers, arrangers,musicians and exceptional vocal artists in their lifetime......I remain hopeful......
I like both versions but Dionne's has a quality that I can't describe. It just makes the hairs on my neck jump up.
me too, and you know Cilla's version makes my cat's hair stand up like it's Halloween, lol.
You simply do not hear genius like this, both music and vocals are top notch here! The music actually takes you on a journey, and touches one's soul on so many levels.
The music was amazing..
The time was the best..
She was a true, unique wonderful voice ♥️🌹
she's an absolute angel with butterfly wings and marshmallow dreams.
What a voice,vulnerability,presence,charisma and charm could not miss.
She's amazing, and i'll bet ya a dollar she didn't even know how beautiful she was.
the mustache really helped
Ya, that's not a mustache, in some parts of the video, it isn't there which means it was poorly lit.
But Burt knew it...
Ugliest. .
Caitlyn Jenner's older sister who suggested for Bruce Jenner going LGBT..
She have a fenomenal voice my gush it sound like celestial orchestra 🥰🥰🥰
If you were 13-14-15 back then and in love her songs all over the radio, especially Walk On By
Only once in a generation do we have the privilege to experience an incredible artist as Miss Dionne Warwick. A truly, a legendary voice.
A stunning beauty in her time. With an equally stunning voice to go along with it.
Dionne sang verses with such intimacy and softness. Towards the end she cranks it up for intensity. Gold.
And Miss Dionne Warwick was an Overnight Sensation in her Younger Years
A voice of perfection! I listened to her songs way back when you could understand what was being song!😊
💐I REMEMBER DIONNE WARWICK BEAUTIFUL😍!!!!!!!
Dionne's voice conveyed such romance and mystic beauty.
One of the best female vocals ever!
Dionne and Burt were a natural. They conveyed the most emotion in their cooperation.
She I'd a once in a lifetime vocal true talent. She sound the same in concert or in the studio. You don't see today's talent that even begin to match her voice. She is and will always a legend.
My favorite Dionne Warwick song. Sublime.
The lady is a National Treasure!!!
Burt Bacharach Wow what a handsome young man he was. And as for Dionne Warwick. Timeless and pure.
She has cheekbones for days and the raw material that became beautiful, once she met professional makeup and performance support people. I don't like looking at photos of myself at that age, either -- not many people do. What a talent!
Oh my Lord! She is still one the greatest vocalists ever. Her Bacharach/David song are among the greatest in pop history. Walk On By easily fits into the top ten singles of all time-it’s that good.
My favorite song by Dionne Warwick. No one else can do it justice.
Luther vandross did
beautiful reminds me of driving home from my girlfriends in hemlock michigan on a beautiful warm summer night in july of 1963
dionne, your voice excited me when i was young and now i am 70 yrs old, and you still do it to me. thanks, love you.
What a Voice! What a Great Woman,who sang like No one Else!
absolute shite man...
My favorite female singer.....a wonderful singing voice!
Dionne's versions of songs are the best.
The end.
She defined an era.
How many of you cry when you hear this song?
Absolute perfection of the song,arrangement, and all of the performances.
Anyone who has a ear should know this is the sound of an angel💜
This is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame prospect! Vote for her!!!!
But the songs are brilliant--pure product of the 60s.
Over here in the UK, we had an evening of her work on one of our major channels on Friday last. I am an unavowed metal-head but was blown away with the quality of her voice. Genius. xx
She is iconic
I used to listen to Dionne back in college over 50 years ago. Her voice will always be relevant.
RIP Burt Bacharach ...
Dionne's voice gives me chills in this great song!
💔
When you have heard the best, the rest can only be a complement or a weak imitation .Dionne Was the standard that all the rest of the singers mentioned in the preceding post tried to duplicate.Dionne voice made the song writers rich as her superior interpretive and tender embrace of the lyrics were so powerful and compelling with out equal, a Goddess in Human Form.
Leola Wilkerson-Williams I disagree. Luther’s version is better
It's a matter of choice, Dionne's version will always the best IMHO!

Hello Violet, How are you doing?
Cool elegant Dionne performance. She radiated with these songs back in the 1960s. As well as Dusty Springfield.
Saw her many years ago at Lincoln Center in NYC. AMAZING concert. No frills, no embellishments, no costume changes.. nothing but TALENT on stage singing.. it was FANTASTIC!
A great American artist.
I used to listen to this song over and over....Just loved it!
