Burt is not only a gifted composer, but also a great arranger, this is pure Bacharach magic! Look at Burt when Dionne comes down the stairs

[@cindyinnew]

He has adored her and been her champion for her entire career. When the record companies said she was too “African” looking for mainstream pop, he basically told them to go to hell.

[@gwenmarie7311]

If anyone ask me whom i respect and love, love most among Americans, i instantly answer "that is Burt Bacharach". His music concentrates all emotion that human being can feel living whole his or her life, he displays all subtle breath in his music beautifully. He is a definitely genius and magician.

[@ms.robbie7536]

This was a great unforgettable presentation! Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick really put it over the top! I love the fact that he sang the intro! He was not an actual singer, but he would sing his songs to get his message across ❤

My have I thoroughly enjoyed Burt Bacharch’s music over the years, and Dionne Warwick is still my favorite female singer.

oh wow oh wow.....Dionne steps out and sings !!!! and her personna and voice take the show by storm...What a presence on the stage ! Never be anything like her (Dionne) ever~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OR the most talented & handsome man ever walked the earth ( Burt Bacharach)

[@michaelwarren1998]

In the 1960's Alfie was Oscar© nominated for Best Song, and Michael Caine for Best Actor. Burt Bacharach was the music Director for that show, and demanded that a young Dionne Warwick be allowed to sing Alfie at that show, not Cher or Cilla Black. She did, and Michael Caine sat there front and center as Dionne gave an applause worthy performance. Now, so many years later, Michael once again sits at the Oscars© front and center, Burt Bacharach once again the music Director, and Dionne Warwick once again gives an applause worthy performance of Alfie. Full circle. Loved Michael Caine's reaction here.

[@singingmanmd]

Ms. Dionne knows how do that song in her sleep. She just chooses to give many outstanding variation of it with or without Mr. Burt (no shade) Besides, being also a consummate performer, she knows how to collaborate with other musicians (such as Mr. Burt) or vocalists and give what is needed or expected instead of drifting off into her own orbit as a solo performer. That's why she is such a beloved Icon when collaborating with others. Ms. Dionne and Mr. Burt know each other very well and what is expected of each other❤. It is not just Mr. Burt's way right here.

[@NauvalYazid]

What a spectacle! This feels like watching Kennedy Center Honors, and yes, I remember the big fuss over Whitney Houston's trouble during the rehearsal. Burt Bacharach fired her, and Faith Hill stepped in. Queen Latifah was coming off of Living Out Loud, where she plays a jazz singer, and since then began her foray into singing standards. She topped this performance with singing I'll Be Seeing You for In Memoriam segment in Oscar 2009. That's another classy performance. But seeing these many music legends on one stage? Priceless.

[@Pachelbel_PaperDarts]

I've always loved Faith Hill's version of Barbra Streisand's song "The Way We Were" (8:04). I've read somewhere that Faith Hill was asked to step in at the last minute in a very short notice after Whitney Houston was too ill to perform at this award ceremony. Imagine what it must be like if Whitney was there to perform such classics! Also check out Vanessa Williams' version of "The Way We Were". It's exquisite!
