Pop singer with clear, yet soulful voice, perfect instrument for Bacharach-David compostions, hitmaker of 1960s through '80s.

Biography

Dionne Warwick is a pop singer of a sort that perhaps could only have emerged out of the Brill Building environment of post-Elvis Presley, pre-Beatles urban pop in the early '60s. That's when she hooked up with Burt Bacharach and Hal David, songwriters and producers who wrote their unusually complicated songs for her aching yet detached alto voice. Warwick remains a unique figure in popular music, inescapably associated with those songs even though she managed to build a career after leaving Bacharach and David that drew upon their style for other memorable recordings. ~ William Ruhlmann
