When singer’s could sing no gimmicks just a amazing voice

[@tonianderson8344]

This song has been with me ever and still love it , she sang 😊

The drummer is sick on this song! Dee Dee just flat foot rips the song to shreds. Gone are the days!

His finest moment.....I wonder what he had for his breakfast that morning?!?

[@steamynoodle2010]

Drummer is nasty

[@AnthonyReynolds]

Any footage of Bernard doing this song? His drumming wrecks me...

[@lovebug3078]

Dee Dee can sing just like her sister Dionne and Aunt Cissy!! Extremely talented family. When I see them sing, I see where Whitney got it from!!! They are masters at voice control and know what they are doing. You can tell that they has serious voice training and couching outside of their God given gifts!

[@georgedavis8412]

And let’s not forget Leontyne Price. Serious vocal genes in that family.

[@lupoeichendorff7051]

Ich finde, sie hat den größeren Druck in der Stimme.

I have always thought that Dee Dee Warwick had such a great voice and should have been more of a commercial success. What a talented family!!!

Thank you! Saw her sing this when she headlined at The Apollo! This is my favorite of her songs! I wore the 45 out!

Dee Dee Warwick is without question one of the greatest soul singers of all time! What a voice she had and still is sorely missed today!

[@sukilee2486]

Yeah she also sexually molested her neice Whitney & nephew Gary Houston-as whitney stated in a interview-

[@shaqb2161]

She’s a child rapist! Molested Whitney Houston and her brother.

[@victorwright8271]

I love how she comes down off of the high note then drops back down without effort...and kept the same mouth position...wonderful

[@knockshinnoch1950]

That's because she's lip synching

[@DeeDeeWarwickMusic]

On the Dee Dee's official site you can listen to all her music, video, interview, blog etc. In order not to spoil Dionne's image as a "superstar" and "style icon" because of her non-standard openly gay younger sister, Dee Dee Warwick was placed under an information blockade. After reading her interview and analyzing other sources, Dee Dee's music was not put on the radio, there was no advertising and promotion. Nothing! Moreover, her new recordings were not released anymore and we will only hear these songs in 2014 !!! For example, Down So Low, Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow, In The Land Of Make Believe, Locked In Your Love, Make It With You, Now That There's You, Only The One You Love etc. Dionne, her fame and big money, became the wrong benchmark in the careers of Dee Dee, Cissy and Whitney. Where would Dionne be without Burt Bacharach and Hal David??? The situation with Alfie. Dee Dee recorded this song in 1966 in the UK with a 40-piece orchestra and full choir. But her recording was not released until Dionne recorded the song. (1,5 years!!!) Dee Dee was a straightforward, deep, sensual artist. She could tell that this song is shit like it was with the Foolish Fool (Grammy nominee, lol). Dee Dee was a homebody, closed person. But Dee Dee Warwick's music is very modern. She was well ahead of her time. Not a single witness of Dee Dee's "drug addiction", she had diabetes, she had syringes for insulin, someone could draw the wrong conclusions. Dee Dee knew that she was talented, but she never turned up her nose and walked on the ground. Dee Dee and her music are love, soul, pain, passion, joy, jealousy. She knew how to sing feelings! Pooky's song is dedicated to her deceased brother Pookie. Dee Dee was diamond, experimenter, innovator !!! Thanks Dee Dee))) Sing Dee Dee)))

She hated the song and didn't want to sung it,she actually walked away from the session but right into Aunty Cissy who sent her back ' go and sing that song girl, this is the music that burst her out, it was very popular in jamaica.

[@Missmeohmy7]

"Fun fact" Ms Dee Dee Warwick hated this song. However it turned out to be one of her most successful hits landing itself into the top 20 US charts in 1969. It also earned her, her first grammy nomination.

Dionne once described her baby sister as " 'the' singer in this family" and I believe she was right!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1969 {May 17th} Dee Dee Warwick performed "Foolish Fool" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... The week before it was at position #57 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, and that was it's peak position on the chart, and it was also it's eighth and final week on the Top 100... Between 1965 and 1971 the Newark, New Jersey native had seven records on the Top 100 chart, her biggest hit was "I Want To Be With You", it reached #41 in 1966... Dee Dee Warrick, born Delia Juanita Warrick, passed away at the age of 66 on October 18th, 2008... May she R.I.P.

[@bbowie]

I love Dee Dee and I also love Dionne but for very different reasons. Both great singers!

[@mikevallen999]

Dee Dee Warwick's version of "Foolish Fool "is an extraordinary soulful recording....it's a mystery to me that it didn't become a #1 chart buster ...I bought the 45 rpm when it was first released and kept the vinyl in mint condition .

[@Dr__Feelgood]

"Her version?" The only other one, and in fact the first & only recording that II FOOLISHLY 😜 thought existed was the 1st track on Chaka Khan's album, from 2007 I think, thatI remember won the Grammy for Best R&B Album.. So I assumed it was a Chaka original till this came up randomly on my KZbin feed lol. So if Dee Dee's wasn't the original, whose was it? Google and KZbin aren't helping me at all. Can't believe there isn't any more easily available info out there for such a great classic song when there is a Wikipedia article about the most useless drivel one could think of.

[@mrob75]

[@mrob75]

@@jamyra4202 so tired of society labeling other people...then that is why she was turned away by the music industry...What a shame. Thanks, Myra.

[@jamyra4202]

mrob75 yes, which is upsetting because Dee Dee had such an amazing voice. personally i think they could’ve easily overlooked her sexuality since her songs were about “men” and she was a private person anyhow, but with any fame that comes ones’ way the public has to know EVERY little thing. it was also said she had a drug addiction problem which was also her downfall. sad that drugs spread throughout that family but it was the trend back in the 70s-80s. and you’re very welcome Rob☺️

[@karimbennett5651]

Despite what may or may not have happened with Gary and Whitney, I remain a fan of Dee Dee's immense vocal talent. "Foolish Fool" is a classic for the ages.

[@TheAnthonyBourdainFan]

I came here because of Brad. Anyone else? His talent for quality music from any generation is unmatched. Not just IMO either, it's a legitimate and uncontested FACT! BRADLEY KNOWELL could possibly have been one of the best examples of whats known as The Hit maker's EAR. Barry Gordy Smokey robinson, sam Philips, LA Reid, Jimmy, Jimmy Iiovine, Rick Rubin, Michael Jackaon, Dr Dre, and i hate to admit it but Sean Puffy puff daddy combs also will go down as one of those people like J prince and orhers on the list as well, are well known as a HME but thue earned that title illegitimately and fraudly so.

Yep. She does!! Hauntingly so!! That's funny and that Whitney sound similar to Ms. Dionne

[@direfranchement]

Yes, but better. Cissy’s was always too wobbly and sometimes ungainly and ugly. Dee Dee sounds like a more polished Cissy…and perhaps a more marketable sound, although she as an artist was determined to be not very marketable because of her sexuality and her drug habit.

[@anmkworldgirl]

Watching the Whitney movie brought me here. I've heard of Dee Dee Warwick but mostly as Dionne's sister. Crazy the molestation accusations against her. Since she's not here to defend herself I reserve the right to not speak alot on it, but just to know that molestation was so prevalent in the black community and yet taboo to speak up. If true, could speak to the Houston children's torment. Sad.

She alright pretty powerful. However, in my opinion, Ms.Dionne will whip her ass vocally in a heartbeat and for so many reasons that it would take too long to list!!!

[@singingmanmd]

@Ann Clarke I think u need to relax, lol. I have my opinion and you have yours and Ms. Dionne has hers. We all do.

[@tasibho]

@Ann Clarke dionne is NOT a lesser singer. Those bacharach and hal classics are not hard to sing for no reason. You've been deceived because of those light ballads she is famous for. Listen to her all is fair in love 1976. Or battle hymn from the 80s. She can sing her butt off too. She just doesn't project with power very often. Its just her style.

[@singingmanmd]

@Siren Thelxiope Agree. Although Dee Dee sound good, Ms. Dionne will sing her sister under a damn table with power and without using her power. Please!!!

[@SouLoveReal]

Listen to Dionne sing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and a few others from her album "Soulful" (1969). She sings with some POWER. Also, she's being backed by the Blossoms and you can distinctly hear Darlene Love on "I'm begging you please, I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE, I need your love, I NEED YOUR LOVE." That was my favorite album of Dionne Warwick's EVER.
