Marie Dionne Warwick (born December 12, 1940 in East Orange, New Jersey) is an American pop and contemporary R&B singer.Warwick was raised in a New Jersey family heavily associated with gospel choirs, which she and her sister, Dee Dee Warwick, performed in growing up. She was also first cousins with Whitney Houston. Her career took off when she was discovered by composer Burt Bacharach, who initially hired her to record demos for him and lyricist Hal David. This marked the start of a fruitful long-time collaboration, with Bacharach and David writing many of Warwick's biggest hits including "Don't Make Me Over", "Anyone Who Had a Heart", "Walk on By", "Message to Michael", "Alfie", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?", and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again".Warwick worked steadily throughout The '60s. Her career stalled a bit during The '70s following a fallout with Bacharach and David,note although they later reconciled and worked together again but in 1979 she moved to Arista Records, where she would enjoy a resurgence in popularity with hits like "I'll Never Love This Way Again", "Déjà Vu", "Heartbreaker", "Love Power" (with Jeffrey Osborne), and the chart-topping "That's What Friends Are For" (a superteam collaboration with Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder). Overall one of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, with dozens of albums and numerous hit singles to her credit, Warwick continued to release new music all the way into The New '10s.An occasional actress, she guested on several shows in The '90s, was on a celebrity season of The Apprentice, and appeared on The Masked Singer. During the 2020s COVID-19 Pandemic she gained a measure of late-career notoriety for being endearingly clueless on Twitter, to the point where an art exhibit dedicated to her account was set up. Yes, really. Warwick's career was detailed in the 2021 documentary Dionne Warwick Dont Make Me Over.

Temporary Name Change: In 1971, Dionne Warwick added an "e" to the end of her last name on the advice of an astrologer friend, but removed it after a few years.

Domestic Abuse: "Check Out Time" on Very Dionne, about a woman who escapes her abusive husband and checks into a motel several hundred miles away, uncertain of what she'll do next. The arrangement hints at physical abuse with a few very prominent loud bass drum beats in the bridge.

Parody Assistance: Was a fan of Saturday Night Live's "The Dionne Warwick Talk Show", where Ego Nwodim portrays her as a lightly self-absorbed old woman who is clueless about today's pop culture. She popped up on the November 6, 2021 version of the skit to be interviewed by her impersonator, even singing a duet with her.

Friendship Song: "That's What Friends Are For", a song about the benefits of friendship, written by Bacharach and Carol Bayer Sager and recorded by Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight (credited as "Dionne and Friends", and actually a cover of a song originally performed by Rod Stewart on the Night Shift soundtrack). Proceeds from the sales of the single benefited AIDS research.

 Dionne Warwick (Music) / int_dbfd6b8
comment
Lyrical Dissonance: "Do You Know the Way to San José?" is bouncy, with a catchy "wo-wo-wo-wo" background vocal hook, but lyrically it's a sad song about broken dreams and alienation from one's roots.
