Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"In the early 1960s",recalled Burt Bacharach, "there were hundreds of singers in New York. Dionne Warwick was different, though." Different she may have been, but it was a while before the legendary songwriting duo gave Warwick her first big international hit with "Anyone Who Had A Heart". Indeed, legend has it that Warwick's "Don't Make Me Over" was written after Hal David remembered her saying those words to him in annoyance at not being given the duo's best songs. This collection then, might be seen as a chance for Warwick to turn back time, as she wraps her vocal cords around a whole load of Bacharach and David material she didn't land first time around: "Alfie", "Trains And Boats And Planes", and "The Look Of Love" line up alongside material more usually associated with Warwick. And you can see why Bacharach and David both continue to cite her as the best vocalist they've ever worked with: all the qualities that draw folk to Bacharach and David canon--their reflective nature, their wit and their jazz-tinged intuition for rhythm--are just as attributable to Warwick herself. Sublime stuff. --Peter Paphides
CD Description
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.
