Careers
Drinkard Singers
Many Warwick families are members of Drinkard Singers, a well-known family gospel group and RCA recording artist who often performs throughout the New York metropolitan area. The original group (known as Jubilairs Drinkard) consisted of Cissy, Anne, Larry, and Nicky, and later included Warwick's grandparents, Nicholas and Delia Drinkard, and their children: William, Lee (Warwick's mother) and Hansom.
Marie instructs the group, and they are managed by Lee. As they became more successful, Lee and Marie started performing with the group, and they were added by pop/R & B Judy Clay, whom Lee has unofficially adopted. Elvis Presley finally expressed an interest to invite them to join the tour group. Dionne started singing the Gospel as a child at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey.
The Gospelaires
Other singers join the Gospelaire from time to time, including Judy Clay, Cissy Houston, and Doris "Rikii" Troy, who preferred the "Just One Look" chart when he recorded it in 1963, featuring backing vocals from the Gospelaires. After personnel changes (Dionne and Doris left the group after reaching solo success), Gospelaires became the recording group Sweet Inspirations, which has several successful charts, but is widely sought after as a studio background singer. The Gospelaires and then Sweet Inspirations performed on many cut notes in New York City for artists such as Garnet Mimms, Drifters, Jerry Butler, Solomon Burke and later recordings of Warwick, Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. Warwick recalls, in A & amp; E Biography 2002, that "a man ran frantically backstage at Apollo and said he needed a background singer for a session for Sam" the Man "Taylor and the big mouth here spoke and said 'We're gonna do!' And we go and doing sessions, I hope I remember the man's name because he was responsible for the beginning of my professional career. "
Backstage events caused the group to be asked to sing a background session at a recording studio in New York. Soon, the group was asked in New York music for their background work for artists such as Drifters, Ben E. King, Chuck Jackson, Dinah Washington, Ronnie "Hawk" Hawkins, and Solomon Burke, among many others. Warwick recalls, in A & amp; E Biography, after school, they will take a bus from East Orange to the Port Authority Terminal, then take the subway to a recording studio in Manhattan, do their background shows and return home at East Orange in time to do their homework. His background vocal work will continue while Warwick continues his studies at Hartt.
Discovery
While he did the background on the recording of Drifter 'Divorce Mexico,' The sound and presence of Warwick star was noticed by song composer, Burt Bacharach, a Brill Building songwriter who was writing songs with many other songwriters, including lyricist Hal David. According to a July 14, 1967 article on Warwick at Time, Bacharach stated, "He has an incredible strong side and delights when singing softly - like a miniature ship in a bottle." Musically, he's "not a safe girl to play, what emotions can I get!" And what's the complexity, compared to the usual pop songs. During the session, Bacharach asked Warwick if he would be interested to record a demo tape of his composition to throw a tone to record the label. One of the demos, "It's Love That Really Counts" - destined to be recorded by Scepter-signed act the Shirelles - attracted the attention of President Scepter Records, Florence Greenberg, who, according to Current Biography (1969 Yearbook) to Bacharach, "Forget the song, get the girl!"
Warwick signed for production companies Bacharach and David, according to Warwick, who was in turn signed to Scepter Records in 1962 by Greenberg. This partnership will give Bacharach the freedom to produce Warwick without control over the recruitment of corporate executives and company A & amp; R men. Warwick's musical and educational abilities will also allow Bacharach to compose more challenging songs. The demo version "It's Love That Really Counts", along with the original demo "Make It Easy on Yourself", will appear on Warwick Scepter's debut album, Presenting Dionne Warwick , released in early 1963.
Star start
In November 1962, Scepter Records released his first solo single, "Do not Make Me Over", the title (according to A & amp; E Biography of Dionne Warwick) Warwick supplied himself when he broke the phrase on producers Burt Bacharach and Hal David angry. Warwick has found that "Make It Easy on Yourself" - a song in which he has recorded the original demo and wants to be his first single - has been awarded to another artist, Jerry Butler. From the phrase "do not make me over", Bacharach and David make their first top pop hit (# 21) and top 5 AS R & amp; B hit. The name Warrick misspelled on the single label, and he started using a new spelling (ie, "War w ick ") either professionally or personally.
According to a July 14, 1967 magazine article, After the hit of "Do not Make Me Over" in 1962, he answered his manager's call ("Come on, honey, you have to go"), leave school and go on tour France, where critics crowned her "Paris Black Pearl," was introduced on stage at Paris Olympia that year by Marlene Dietrich. Rhapsodized Jean Monteaux in Art: "This sound game makes you think sometimes from eels, storms, cradles, a knot of seaweed, daggers.This is not so much sound as an organ.You can write fugues for Warwick sounds."
The two follow-ups go straight to "Do not Make Me Over" - "This Empty Place" (with "B" side "Wishin 'and Hopin'" later recorded by Dusty Springfield) and "Make The Music Play" - briefly mapped out over 100. His fourth single, "Anyone Who Had a Heart," released in December 1963, was Warwick's first 10 hit pop (# 8) in the US as well as millions of international sellers. This was followed by "Walk On By" in April 1964, a major international hit and millions of salespeople who established his career. For the remainder of the 1960s, Warwick was a fixture on the US and Canada charts, and many of the outputs from 1962 to 1971 were written and produced by the Bacharach/David team.
Warwick beat the British Invasion better than most American artists. His British hit was "Walk On By" and "Did You Know the Way to San Jose?" In the UK, a number of Bacharach-David-Warwick songs were recorded by British singers Cilla Black, Sandie Shaw and Dusty Springfield, most notably Black's "Anyone Who Had a Heart" which went to number 1 in the UK. This disappoints Warwick, who describes being humiliated when told that in England, record company executives wanted his songs recorded by others. Warwick even met Cilla Black while on tour in England. He remembers what he said to him: "I told him that" You're My World "will be my next single in America.I really believe that if I sneeze on my next note, then Cilla will sneeze on hers. "Warwick then covered two Cilla songs -" You're My World "appeared on Dionne Warwick in the Valley of the Dolls, released in 1968 and on the soundtrack for Alfie .
Warwick was named Best Female Vocalist in the Cash Box Magazine poll in 1964, with six chart hits in that year. The Money Box named her the Top Female Vocalist in 1969, 1970 and 1971. In the 1967 Money Box poll she was second in Petula Clark, and in the 1968 poll second to Aretha. Franklin. Playboy ' The influential Music Poll in 1970 named her the Top Female Vocalist. In 1969, the Hasty Pudding Society at Harvard named the Best Woman of the Year.
In the cover article of May 21, 1965 Time entitled "The Sound of the Sixties," Warwick's voice is described as follows
The World Sways. Scientific articles investigate the relationship between The Beatles and the faint films of Jean-Luc Godard, discussing the "brio and elegance" of Dionne Warwick's singing style as an 'fun but complicated' event to 'be experienced without humiliation'. In a chic circle, anyone who condemns rock 'n' roll is labeled not only square but uncultured. For inspirational purposes, hip artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers and Andy Warhol occasionally paint while listening to rock 'n' roll music. Explaining Warhol: "It makes me mindless, and I paint better." After the gallery opening in Manhattan, black-tie meetings often depart to discos.
In 1965, Eon Productions intends to use Warwick's song "Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" as Thunderball's theme song until Albert Broccoli insists that the theme song includes the title of the film. A new song was composed and recorded at the eleventh hour titled "Thunderball", performed by Tom Jones. The melody of "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" remains a major component of the film's score. The Ultimate Edition DVD Thunderball has a Warwick song that plays over the title in one of the additional song comments, and the song was released on the 30th anniversary CD of the Bond song.
The mid-1960s and early 1970s
The mid-1960s to the early 1970s were a more successful period of time for Warwick, which saw a series of gold sales albums and Top 20 tops and 10 hit singles. "Messages for Michael", a Bacharach-David composition that the duo must have been a "men's song", became the top 10 hit for Warwick in May 1966. January 1967 LP Here's Love > is RIAA's first Gold-certified album, featuring "Alfie" and two hits of 1966: "Train and Ship and Aircraft" and "I Do not Know What to Do With Me". "Alfie" has become a radio hit when disc jockeys across the nation began to play albums that were cut in early 1967. "Alfie" was released as a "B" side of Bacharach/David ballad, "The Beginning of Loneliness", which charted on Hot 100 Disc jockey reverses the single and makes it a two-sided hit. Bacharach has been contracted to produce "Alfie" for the Michael Caine movie of the same name and wants Warwick to sing the song, but the British producer wants the English subject to cut the tone. Cilla Black was chosen to record the song, and his version reached # 95 when released in the US. The cover version of Cher used in American film prints peaked at # 33. In the UK and Australia, the Black version is a Top 10 hit.
He followed up on "I Say a Little Prayer," "(Theme of) Valley of the Dolls," unusual in some ways. It's not written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, it's the "B" side of his single "I Say a Little Prayer", and it's a song he hardly records. While the film version of Valley of the Dolls is being made, actress Barbara Parkins suggested that Warwick be considered to sing the theme song of the film, written by team of songwriters AndrÃÆ'Â © and Dory Previn. The song was recorded by Judy Garland, who was later fired from the film. Warwick performed the song, and when the film became a success in the early weeks of 1968, the disc jockey reversed the single and made it the single biggest double-sided hits of the rock era and a million other sellers. At that time, the RIAA rules allow only one side of a two-sided hit singles to be certified as gold, but Scepter gave Warwick an "in-house" award to recognize "(Theme of) Valley of the Dolls" as a million song sales.
Warwick has re-recorded the theme version arranged by Pat Williams at A & amp; R Studios in New York because contractual restrictions with his label will not allow Warwick's version of the film to be included on Fox's 20th Century LP soundtrack, and vice versa. Legal restrictions will not allow the movie version to be used elsewhere in a commercial LP. LP Dionne Warwick in the Valley of the Dolls, was released in early 1968 and contained a re-recorded version of the movie theme (# 2-4 weeks), "Did You Know the Way to San Jose?" And some compositions new Bacharach-David, hit # 6 on the Billboard album chart and will stay on the chart for more than a year. LP movie soundtracks, without Warwick vocals, failed to impress the public, while Dionne Warwick in the Valley of the Dolls earned RIAA Gold certification.
The single "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?", The international Millions of Sellers and Top 10 hits in several countries, including England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Japan and Mexico, are also two-sided hits with "B" side "Let Me Be Lonely "charted at # 79. More hits followed in 1971, including" Who Is Gonna Love Me "(# 32, 1968) with the" B "side," There Always Something There to Remind Me "became a two hit side; "Promise, Promise" (# 19, 1968); "This Girl Love with You" (# 7, 1969); "The April Fools" (# 37, 1969); "You're Losing That Lovin 'Feelin'" (# 15, 1969); "I Will Never Fall In Love" (# 6, 1969); "Make It Easy to Yourself" (# 37, 1970); "Who Is Gonna Love Me" (# 33, 1968); "Let Me Go to Him" ​​(# 32, 1970); and "Paper Mache" (# 43, 1970). Final Bacharach/David written by Warwick was the song "Who Gets the Guy" in March 1971, and the release of his "official" Scepter single "He Moving On" b/w "Amanda", both of the soundtrack of Jacqueline Susann's film adaptation < i> The Love Machine .
Warwick has been a priority act of Scepter Records, according to the website "The Scepter Records Story" and producer/chairman of A & amp; R, Luther Dixon in Biography A & amp; E in 2002 from Burt Bacharach, with the release of "Anyone Who Has a Heart" in 1963. Other RIAA Gold certified LP Scepter includes Golden Hits Dionne Warwick Part 1 released in 1967 and The Dionne Warwicke Story: A Decade of Gold released in 1971. By the end of 1971, Warwick had sold about 35 million singles and international albums in less than nine years and more than 16 million singles in the US alone. The exact numbers of sales are unknown and probably underestimated, due to seemingly sluggish accounting policies and company policies not submitting records for the RIAA audit. Warwick became the first Scepter artist to request a RIAA audit of his recording in 1967 with the release of "I Say a Little Prayer."
On September 17, 1969, CBS Television broadcasted Warwick's first special television, entitled "The Dionne Warwick Chevy Special." Warwick guests are Burt Bacharach, George Kirby, Glen Campbell, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
In 1971, Warwick left the Scepter Records family atmosphere for Warner Bros.. Records, for a $ 5 million contract, the most profitable recording contract ever given to female vocalists up to that point, according to Variety . Warwick's final LP for Scepter is the above-mentioned soundtrack for the film The Love Machine (where he appeared in an uncredited cameo), released in July 1971. In 1975, Bacharach and David sued Scepter Records for Accurate accounting of royalty due to the team from their recording with Warwick and labelmate BJ Thomas. They got nearly $ 600,000 and the rights to all Bacharach/David recordings on the Scepter label. The label, with Warwick's defection to Warner Bros. Records, filed for bankruptcy in 1975 and sold to Springboard International Records in 1976.
After signing with Warners, with Bacharach and David as writers and producers, Warwick returned to A & amp; R Studio in New York City in late 1971 to begin recording his first album for a new, self-titled Dionne label (not to be confused with Arista's debut album later) in January 1972. The album peaked at # 57 on Billboard Hot 100 Album Chart. In 1972, Burt Bacharach and Hal David scored and wrote a song for the movie Lost Horizon . However, the film was composed by critics, and in the end, the songwriter duo decided to break their working relationship. Break-ups leave Warwick without their services as producers and songwriters. He is required to contract to fulfill his contract with Warner without Bacharach and David, and he will work with various manufacturers during his tenure with the label.
Faced with prospects sued by Warner Bros. Records due to the breakup of Bacharach/David and their failure to honor their contract with Warwick, he filed a $ 5.5 million lawsuit against his former partner for breach of contract. The lawsuit was settled out of court in 1979 for $ 5 million, including the rights to all Warwick recordings produced by Bacharach and David.
Also in 1971, Warwick changed its name to "Warwicke" according to the suggestion of Linda Goodman, an astrologer friend, who believed it would bring even greater success. A few years later, he returned to the old spelling after a series of disappointments and the absence of the top 40 Billboard .
Era Warner (1972-1978)
Without the guidance and songwriting given by Bacharach/David, Warwick's career stalled in the 1970s. There were no major hits during this decade, apart from the 1974 "Then Came You", recorded as a duet with Spinners and produced by Thom Bell. Bell then noted, "Dionne made a (weird) face when we finished [the song] He does not really like it but I know we have something So we tore the dollar in half, signed each half and switched it out I told him ' If it does not become number one, I will send my half. ' When it takes off, Dionne sends hers back in. There's an apology on it. "It was his first # 1 hit on Billboard Hot 100. In addition to this success, Warwick's five-year Warner Bros. Records did not result in other major hits. The two famous songs recorded during this period were "His House and Me" and "Once You Hit The Road" (# 79 pop, # 5 R & B, # 22 Adult Contemporary), both produced in 1975 by Thom Bell.
Warwick recorded five albums with Warners: Dionne (1972), produced by Bacharach and David and simple graphics success; Just Being Myself (1973), produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland; Then Came You (1975), produced by Jerry Ragovoy; Track of the Cat (1975), produced by Thom Bell; and Love at First Sight (1977), produced by Steve Barri and Michael Omartian. His five-year contract with Warner ended in 1977, and with it, he ended his stay on the label.
Move to Arista, 1979 -
With his move to Arista Records and the release of his RIAA-certified seller, "I'll Never Love This Way Again" in 1979, Warwick again enjoys top success on the charts.

This album reached # 12 on Billboard Chart and became Top 10 of Billboard R & amp; Album B Chart. Warwick was personally signed and guided by the label's founder Clive Davis, who told him, "You might be ready to give a business, but the business is not ready to hand you over."

It was adapted into the weekly Solid Gold weekly event, which he hosted throughout 1980 and 1981 and again in 1985-86. The main highlight of each show is a duet he's doing with his co-host, who often includes a few hit Warwick and his host hit, mixed and arranged by Solid Gold music director Michael Miller. Another highlight in every show is Warwick's lower vowel from the Solid Gold theme, composed by Miller (with lyrics by Dean Pitchford).
After a brief appearance at Top Forty in early 1982 with Johnny Mathis in "Friends in Love" - ​​from an album of the same name - Warwick's next hit later in the same year was a full collaboration with Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees for the album Heartbreaker .
