One of many Time-Warner Warwick compilations........2007-01-04

This CD is one of many Time-Warner Warwick compilations. All of Dionne's biggest '60s hit are on this cheapy CD. It should be remastered and come with liner notes to explain the history of the songs. Seeing that it is a budget priced music CD, it can provide an affordable reference for youngsters not familiar with these oldies. It is high time that Dionne gets honored by The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! VH1 Diva special in her honor?

A Great Team.......2006-08-30

I forgot how good the Bachrach music was! He was a master.
Of course, his music is accompanied by Dionne Warwick's beautiful voice. I only wish the recording of the CD was a little better - it sounds a little shallow so I put it on full bass to get a better sound.....
Beautiful - refreshing - good score, talented singer.....

My very favorite Dionne Warwick hits compilation.......2006-08-22

Of all the wonderful Dionne Warwick compilations on the market, this is my favorite. All of the hits from the 60's are here in chronological order from her first hit, "Don't Make Me Over" and ending with her big 1969 hit, "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". In addition to the well known numbers, such as "Alfie", "I Say A Little Prayer", and "Walk On By", this CD contains Dionne's classic renditions of "A House Is Not A Home" and "You'll Never Get To Heaven". Also included is "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" which wasn't a big hit for Dionne, but should have been.

The only glaring omissions are the top 10 "This Girl's In Love With You" and Dionne's breathtakingly understated reading of the Jerry Butler hit "Make It Easy On Yourself". However, as both of these recordings are readily available on other compilations, there is no reason to avoid this CD.

If you are a Dionne Warwick fan, you will love this CD. If you have never experienced Dionne at her very best, this CD is a great place to start.

Unmistakable Part of The 60's Soundtrack.......2006-05-25

Dionne Warwick's music is so integral to popular music that we forget a couple of things. One thing we forget is that she recorded so many hits, to a large extent thanks to the great songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The second thing we forget is how good she is on these records. Her voice is strong, smooth, and clear, singing with passion, and a yearning that comes from deep within.

This collection captures all of her 60's and early 70's hits. It's well worth the purchase.

Fan of Dionne Warwick's.......2003-12-16

Hello. I'm trying to find release dates for a few of Dionne's songs from the 60's, such as I Say a Little Prayer, Message to Michael, Alfie, Trains, and Boats and Planes, You'll Never Get to Heaven, Walk on By, What the World Needs Now is Love, Promises, Promises, and Never Fall in Love Again. Help, please! Thank you.
