Dionne Warwick | I Didn't Mean To Love You | Live 1976-REACTION VIDEO

[@nicim3730]

Dionne has one of the best voices of the 20th century.

[@johnlyndsay]

She is an American treasure sadly under-appreciated. She has sung the tapestry of our lives for decades... Thank you Ms. Warwick.

[@donkingposadas8346]

Ohhh!!!Bless your heart. Thank you for reacting immediately to my latest request. Indeed!!No one sings like DIONNE WARWICK. . She understands music like no one else which makes her a very unique singer. The way she uses those dynamics,crescendos and decrescendos and all those musical aspects, is beyond incredible. Thank you,thank you,thank you😊😊💕

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Of course. I needed a new video from Dionne to record this week and you requested it in good timing. 😊. That was a superb vocal performance. Wow. I’m definitely awakened now. 💯🙌🏿.

Hello ...Thanks ! I was at this fabulous concert at the Théatre de l'Empire in Paris in 1976. Dionne Warwick was doing a European capital every day. In Paris, she did a first concert that started around 8pm, and then a second one at 10:30pm... She is probably one of the greatest vocalists I have ever seen in my life... Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful moment ....

[@johnlyndsay]

She sang the shit out if that song... SIMPLY STUNNING BRILLIANT BRAVO

[@HollyGolightly74]

She has a Masters degree in Music Theory. She definitely understands every aspect of her voice

[@nicim3730]

She also has a doctorate in music education.

[@leethomas7659]

She SLAYED this. Shit makes me cry..

[@davidjuliancooksey256]

so many singers today and since then have so much to learn from her and Shirley Bassey

[@dp3396]

The Bee Gees were in high demand... it says a lot that they wanted to work with her. She is an icon.

[@oldsoul_anth243]

Right. She is their idol.

[@PensivePoet97]

Definitely one of my favorites from her, always loved your reactions brother🙏🏾 much love and God bless

[@gw22]

Dionne is, was and will always be the best. Every word is clear in everything she sings, she adds meaning to every song she sings. Ms. Warwick never uses vulgar language or dance moves to entertain an audience. I hope you also have time to look into Shirley Bassey and Nancy Wilson.

Please stop saying Dionne Warwick is underrated. She is not. She is a world-renowned STAR. She has been a very big deal for a very long time. Younger generations recently becoming aware of her musical prowess is a wonderful thing though. - Here is just a little historical context - DIONNE WARWICK is one of the most successful female artists in the history of popular music. In 1969, Ms. Warwick became the 1st black artist to win a Grammy in the pop category for DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE. Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest U.S. hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on her chart history on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart. She is the second-most charted female vocalist during the rock era (1955-1999). She is also one of the most-charted vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998 (12 of them Top Ten), and 80 singles in total - either solo or collaboratively - making the Hot 100, R&B, or adult contemporary charts.

You need to hear her sing Alfie .She is a Diva to many hits I am her fan .Thanks for the memories She teamed up with Burt Bacharach he wrote many of her hits

[@MrJmervel]

You should listen to the studio version of this song. It was one of her later singles on Warner Bros. She got so into the lyrics that her voice started cracking towards the end and they left it in.

[@Josherrificly]

It was such a raw and beautiful recording

[@singingmanmd]

Yep. I heard that phenomenal ending on the recording, and I was like wow!! It was so organically powerfully passionate!!

[@jimnicosia5934]

One of the most underrated singers.

[@noreneal7252]

Glad to know she’s related to Leontyne Price. I researched it and it’s on her mother’s side. That means Whitney and them have some Mississippi roots. No wonder they all sing so good!!! 💯

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Right? I never knew that until I reacted to this. It ran deep in that family. That’s something to talk about 🙌🏿💯.

[@nicim3730]

Dionne you better duck from this shoe that I just threw up there....Great Day!

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Lol. Did not expect that vocal performance at all. Definitely changed my view on Dionne’s voice forever. ☺️

[@jaimew]

❤❤❤

[@map_too_my_heart3188]

Please react to Dionne make it easy on yourself. Live

[@nicim3730]

The blueprint for Whitney Houston

[@vaughnjohnson6969]

Yes she is

[@allenstark4611]

I've seen how much Donna Summer thrills you. You need to watch donna singing anything for you. I'm a hard core Donna Summer fan and this might be the best performace she ever gave wich knowing Donna says alot. Please do more Donna!!!

[@donkingposadas8346]

This is Dionne Warwick..🤔

[@Jazzybleu1]

Patrick check out her live singing at their home church in Jersey with her Aunt Anne Moss as the choir director.

[@markpeter4304]

Dionne was holding out on us. That said is this a hal david burt bacharach song? It doesn't seem that way. Burt and hal david music didn't allow for vocal gymnastics. But they were the most difficult in the sense of breathing, time signatures and measures. As Dionne herself said going to a hal and burt recording was like taking an exam. She is indeed gifted and no one has her texture you can pluck her voice from a musical line up with ease.

[@vaughnjohnson6969]

You said that right, why her songs were so hard to sing a Dionne sang it like a divine master that she is

[@oldsoul_anth243]

This was originally by Helen Reddy penned by Karen Philipp.

[@BrothaJ365]

Well damn! I learned some things!

[@singingmanmd]

Yes, I knew all those facts about the incomparable Ms. Dionne. I can tell you more. We can talk all day about her. I love all the reactions you are doing on her. Do this one please kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaPdh4yOmqp-qcU It is 2 songs. You can react separately on both. They both are amazing

[@aisensantana6765]

Please check do her studio version of one last bell to answer!!! Amazing

[@Jazzybleu1]

You have got to react to Dionne’s original version of Anita Baker’s No One In The World. I went to see Anita back in the day and she spoke on how she decided to do a Dionne remake.

[@vaughnjohnson6969]

Yes She sings without even taking a breath to stop

[@mic1240]

And Luther Vandross’ favorite singer, he did many covers of her songs beyond their duets

[@kklustra]

@@mic1240 Teach the children! Yes, he did. He loved her so much he even told people at his college that she was his big sister.

[@ScottPothan]

She was Burt Bacharach‘s muse throughout the 60’s - hell shes hardly underrated sheeesh she was MASSIVE before anyone else pure royalty - ppl who make this stupid statement just because they don’t know an ounce of musical chronology. By the time of this video she already had Grammies and No1 hits for over a decade.

[@aisensantana6765]

Exactly she is massive world wide, sadly the black community is just now catching on , which why u hear someone say she's underrated, because they are used to seeing aretha, gladys and pattie being praised ..

[@Jazzybleu1]

She was the first black artirt to win a pop Grammy.

[@nicim3730]

@@Jazzybleu1 and she won both a pop grammy and an R&B grammy the same year.

[@oldsoul_anth243]

And made a string of 39 chart hits. Also, she was the most expensive female artist during this time.

[@kklustra]

@@aisensantana6765 That is correct. Dionne Warwick remained one of the MOST CHARTED artists. Her catalogue is massive! Hits in the 60's, 70's, 80's...

[@BrothaJ365]

Idk, Dionne seems to stay out the limelight after her run in the back days, almost feels self imposed. I think that’s why she’s so underrated and almost forgotten, but she def made her impact

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Exactly. I’ve always knew about Dionne. But, I didn’t hear or seen much her in the 90’s. A little in the 80’s cause of “That’s what friends are for”. But, when I started reacting to her I JUST discovered this vocal savage. Wow. Definitely underrated. 💯🙌🏿

[@MrJmervel]

@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 Too bad you missed her SOLID GOLD days. She hosted the show 1980-1981, and again 1985-1986. It was like getting a master class in vocals every Saturday night.

[@singingmanmd]

@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 Ms. Dionne has always goes for blood when she is live!! , lol. Her voice is extraordinary !!! She makes you addicted to her craft. Keep up the reactions. Thx.

[@glife305]

Can you please react to separate performances of Donna Summer & Aaliyah singing their own version of The Christmas Song
