How many singers can you think of that have been recording and performing for over 65 years, sold more than 100 million records during that time, and has had more singles chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 than any other female vocalist except for Aretha Franklin?
Dionne started singing in 1955 at about 15 years of age. Her first commercial success came in 1962, followed by dozens of hits spanning the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Dionne’s latest album and charting singles were released in 2019.
With incredible voice control and technique, she makes difficult songs look easy to sing. Dionne Warwick is pure talent, among the best of the very best.
