Dionne Warwick - best live vocals (1967 to 2016)

[@ABC882011]

Dionne was the original pop diva, her accolades are immeasurable. She has never received the credit she is due (in my opinion).

[@JustJJr]

I concur

[@direfranchement]

She damaged her own legacy tying herself to the now defunct Psychic Friends network. Her appearace on Celebrity Apprentice didn't help. In addition, her tendency over the past couple of decades to make public appearances dressed like a bag lady are unfortunate.

[@JustJJr]

[@arlenecerf8833]

Where’s her Kennedy Center Honors, way way overdue 😤 A career spanning 60 years and not been recognised yet - a damn shame!!!! Someone needs to spearhead the campaign for Ms Warwick to be given her Honors whilst she is still with us. I mean she should be a top priority and as much as I love Cool J and co. , Ms Warwick should have been awarded ages ago, before the recent recipients.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH THEN, BUT WHEN I HEARD THE RANGE OF HER VOICE (SOFT OR SOMETIMES POWERFUL), HER WAY TO DELIVER THE NOTES AND THROUGH HER "FEELING", SHE COULD TOUCH MY SOUL... I BEEN A FAN SINCE THEN WHEN I WAS ONLY 8 YRS. OLD! SHE HAS ALL MY RESPECT AND ADMIRATION. I CELEBRATE HER UNIQUENESS. TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER.✨

[@direfranchement]

There are some records in which she really showed her range, even in the early Scepter years. Records like "I Cry Alone", "There's Always Something There to Remind Me", "You're My World", "You're Gonna Hear From Me", "What's Good About Goodbye", her recording of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", "Where Would I Go", as well as recordings from "The Magic of Believing", the LP she did with The Drinkard Singers.. Her singles tended to be more Adult Contemporary, but her albums always contained showcase numbers.

[@singingmanmd]

MH Plummer Her lives performances are phenomenal but so underated!!

[@HaliB75]

The same is true of Whitney

[@georgebeierberkeley]

In an age with no auto-tune, her pitch was absolutely amazing. Never heard her hit a wrong note.

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

A true VOCALIST! She never goes overboard with all the unnecessary over singing that her counterparts like to do. Her voice is so strong all she does is sings correctly and pure from her chest and it ALWAYS shines

[@lavalp]

The singing talent in that one family is off the charts.

[@gracekealoha4525]

Thru 5 generations all i heard was Dionne, Tammy Wynette, Whitney, Brenda Lee, the Manhattans etc. Our home and family was surrounded by these lengends and i am so thankful that even tho some arent here w/us today, these old vids allows us to recapture the "good ole days" and yes when they were at their primes, but mostly i appreciate their style, voices of course, performance and best yet their music! They have done their time and altho they may not have the same tunes, like before, it dont matter, cuz like every employment....we all retire one day! So appreciate the impact they once made and be gateful for these legends!

[@JesusISdaonlyway]

Okay after a few videos this one included, I quickly came to understand why Whitney always referenced Dionne as one of her greatest inspirations. I can totally hear it...and see it. . Didn't know Dionne had a voice like this! My mind is completely 🤯🤯🤯
