Dionne Warwick Sings the Bacharach & David Songbook [2008] [PA]

Track data is currently not available.

Performer: Dionne Warwick
Distributor: Phantom Import Distributi

Notes: Personnel includes: Dionne Warwick (vocals); Burt Bacharach (conductor). Recorded between 1963 and 1971. If you have any interest at all in sophisticated pop music, you need to hear this remastered 22-track compilation of Dionne Warwick's original '60s singles written, arranged, and produced by Burt Bacharach with the invaluable lyrical contributions of Hal David. Bacharach and David received a long-overdue critical reappraisal in the mid-to late-'90s, and their work with Warwick's sublime, pure pop voice has regained the status it richly deserves. This 2000 release lacks a few vital pieces, notably Warwick's first Bacharach/David hit, the atypically funky "Don't Make Me Over." But overall, it's an exquisite introduction to both one of the finest songwriting teams in pop history and, more importantly, to one of their finest interpreters.

Q (Magazine) (p.159) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "22 beautifully crafted, cool jazz-inflected tracks..."

With her beautifully clear and unmannered, yet soulful, voice, Dionne Warwick became the perfect instrument for the compositions of 1960s pop kings Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The partnership resulted in an incredible string of classic hits, and Warwick's chart success continued well into the '80s, even with other writers and producers providing the material. Few could have predicted her subsequent emergence as a TV personality via the Psychic Friends Network, but regardless of her extracurricular activities, she continued lending her vocal talents to recordings and performances.
