Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The simply sublime Dionne Warwick collection Heartbreaker contains at least 20 of pop's most exquisite moments, drawn principally from her dazzling 1960s heyday.

Discovered by songwriting genius Burt Bacharach while caroling backing vocals for the Drifters in 1962, Warwick's silky mezzo-soprano was soon gracefully gliding over a succession of Bacharach and Hal David sculpted gems. Burt's sumptuous arrangements--featuring his trademark muted trumpets, reflective strings and intricate jazz-mottled rhythms--coupled with Hal's witty wordplay and Dionne's subtle, perfectly phrased delivery, propelled the humble pop song towards high art. Many of those hits are here. "Walk On By", "Don't Make Me Over", "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" are all timeless classics, though the omission of the less celebrated, but equally opulent likes of "Promises, Promises" and "Are You There (With Another Girl)" is a tad disappointing. Sadly, after the partnership dissolved in 1970, Dionne's recording career never fully recovered, although "Then Came You", a US chart-topper with the Detroit Spinners, is an infectious slice of sweetly cooed R&B pop. --Chris King

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD of ORIGINAL hits!, 6 Nov 2002
By cduk2001 "cduk2001" (London England) - See all my reviews
This is a great collection of the original recordings by Dionne Warwick. One of the few that includes her US number one "Then Came You" with the Detroit Spinners as well as her UK comeback hits "Heartbreaker" and "All The Love In The World". Includes all the great hits from the 60's plus the hard to find on cd 70's single "Once You Hit The Road". A great collection of all the original recordings!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever sparkling classics, 28 Jul 2002
I remember the very first time that I heard Dionne Warwick: it was on LP and blaring out across my room. It felt as though the music was directed at me personally and I loved every minute of it.

With 'The Very Best of Dionne Warwick' you get this effect and more as this CD contains all of her finest songs and has a sweet meoldy all of its own. The classic 'Walk on by' is still as good today as it has always been and such songs as 'I say a little prayer', 'I'll never fall in lover again' and 'All around the world' are timeless classics.

This is a CD which was be played at any time of day and make you smile and perhaps one of the songs that encapsulates this the most if the 'The look of love' with its smoothness. This album has so many classics on it that it makes for hours of listening pleasure!

Enjoy it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh No, Not Again., 27 Aug 2002
By GARETH (East Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
Look at the track listing and it sounds just the job. Memories of some fantastic songs come flooding back, then you start to listen and all starts OK. But after a while, the horribly re-mixed tracks start to creep in. Why can't these people just leave a good song alone?
Not all of them have been ruined and I'm afraid I can't even say how many are because I couldn't stand it any more and took this CD out of the deck before it finished.
