| Dionne Watwick: Live - New Concert DVD On the occasion of her 45th year in show business, Image Entertainment is releasing a new live concert DVD featuring legendary vocalist Dionne Warwick performing her greatest hits. The concert was filmed during a sold-out performance in England on Dionne Warwick's 2005 tour. The songs on this 100 minute feature length concert DVD include: Heartbreaker - Walk On By - Do You Know The Way To San Jose? - That's What Friends Are For - I'll Never Fall in Love Again - Don't Think It's Over - Look of Love - Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head - Arthur's Theme - What the World Needs Now - I'll Never Love This Way Again - Anyone Who Had a Heart - All the Love in the World - Say A Little Prayer - Alfie's Theme - Deja Vu - Don't Make Me Over - The April Fools. Dionne Warwick first hit the charts in 1962 with her defiant, impassioned reading of “Don't Make Me Over” and scored 12 consecutive Top 100 hits between 1963 and 1966, rapidly emerging as the foremost interpreter of the astonishing Bacharach-David catalog. She earned Grammy trophies for “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”(1968), “I'll Never Fall in Love Again” (1970), “I'll Never Love This Way Again” (1979), “De Ja Vu” (1979) and “That's What Friends Are For” (1986), received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and was honored by Oprah Winfrey at the 2005 Legends Ball. In 2006, Warwick joined Bacharach to perform “Walk on By” and “That's What Friends Are For” for some 36 million American Idol viewers. Later in the year, Warwick appeared on Celebrity Duets singing “Say A Little Prayer” and “I'll Never Love This Way Again” with Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess). Also in 2006, Warwick revisited some of her legendary hits with the release of the CD My Friends and Me (Concord Records), an album of duets with a stellar lineup of female performers including: Gladys Knight, Olivia Newton-John, Gloria Estefan, Kelis, Reba McEntire, Cyndi Lauper, Celia Cruz, Wynonna Judd, Chante Moore, Angie Stone and Da Brat. Warwick's tireless efforts to preserve music education in school curricula were recognized with the first Support Music Appreciation Award, which she received in Washington, DC. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
