Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick. One of the great team-ups of the 60s. Yes, who can’t relate to this song? Count me in..

[@larryproctor8234]

Such a gorgeous song, Bacharach, Davis and Warwick. Incredible team.❤

[@thomasmcdonough6642]

Dionne was one of the greatest female vocalist ever!

[@JamesCole-ep4df]

I was in the automotive industry for a number of years we were in Detroit and GM was bringing out we just checked into the hotel. I was getting ready to head to our room and in walks Dionne Warwick with her bodyguards and she’s may be 5 foot away from me and as she just passes by, I sang walk on by she turns, gives me a smile and a wink …glad I didn’t get beat up. Lol.

[@constructor2763]

Oh my, Dionne Warwick, she is so far beyond most modern day talents that there is no comparison. Then again, I am an out of touch, old 'geezer' from the UK. Truly legendary talent.

[@pantaleonpangelinan4371]

A classic song covered by a variety of artists

[@ronrotz2879]

One of my favorite artists of all-time

[@matthewbecker964]

Damn she's good. So tasteful and so soulful.

[@christianmattison6096]

She was so amazing. And she was every bit as beautiful as her voice. I could listen to her all day long!

[@allenrappaport2595]

She embodied such class and elegance. An angel’s voice.

[@epicycles700]

There was always a kind of wistful yearning in Dionne's voice.

[@edgarsnake2857]

Great track with a landmark performance by Dionne. Loved your sincere reaction.

[@hongfang2348]

The sparse horn arrangement is a Bacharach signature. His writing partner, Hal David, wrote the lyrics. Dionne Warwick performed several Bacharach/David songs. This one was a hit and she is a treasure.

[@mic1240]

More than several, they wrote songs specifically for Dioone. She had hit after hit with them, and is #2 most charted female of rock era (only behind Aretha Franklin) in large part due to the many songs they collaborated on together. Her ability to read music and play instruments helped her sing some often difficult songs.

[@eddieschiaffo1385]

One of the greats, Miss Dionne Warwick....

[@joelok48]

Many polls have named this as the best record ever made. Herb Alpert on Trumpet. Genius producer and Record label owner.

I love all of her early work. This is a great song.

The 60's was a beautiful times for music, there were so many new innovations in genres. Legendary artists became legends then.

[@andrewpetik2034]

Hearing Ms. Warwick's voice again brings a FLOOD of bittersweet memories...... I grew up in a household filled with music of all styles, genres from multiple eras. My parents radio station in the car was usually tuned to an easy listening station.... 1940s big bands, 1950s and 1960s 'crooners', and contemporary easy listening. Such a sweet time.... my siblings and I were surrounded by grandparents, mom, dad and many uncles and aunts... all of them gone now.

My favourite song of Burt Bacharach and also of Dionne Warwick. The groove of this song is unique and awesome, and Dionne, I loved her since I listened to her first hits long ago (Do you know the way to San Jose) and it must be in that family, sh is the aunt of Whitney Houston.

[@curtisduncanmusic7645]

So glad to see you listening to Dionne Warwick! Her catalogue was huge in my life as a teenager. As for your Singer/ Songwriter project, I have a couple of suggestions. React to "Late For the Sky" by Jackson Browne. He's one of, if not the best, S/S from the 70s-80s. His "Late for the Shy" album is a masterpiece, and the title track is a stunner.

[@RamardoTHunt]

The low voice you hearing in the background is her sister Dee Dee Warwick (Popular soul singer in her own right) and the top voice is her aunt Cissy Houston (The original voice who birthed the voice Whitney Houston)

[@anthonyblakely399]

Love this song!!!! Love me some Dionne!!! This is the original song written by Burt Bacharach and performed by Dionne Warwick. Excellent song! Very popular in 1964!!! I played it a lot in 64' Oh it was performed by Isaac Hayes...that's the artist performed this song also. who perform the in 1969. But Dionne was the first to perform the song. Glad you liked it!

[@SweetThing]

Dionne Warwick is Whitney Houston's first cousin. Herb Alpert on horns. RIP Whitney.

[@robertfindley921]

Epic song from an amazing singer with grace and talent. You need just one note to know it's her. Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick were an outstanding duo. I heard many years ago she called, I think it was, Snoop Dogg and told him to tone down the racy lyrics. Snoop said he gave her total respect.

[@shannonk.moorer9158]

For me, this is her signature song. There are a gazillion covers. The one you remember is Isaac Hayes, and it's fantastic.

[@Elephant2024]

An age when music featured song lyrics that were both pleasant & understandable.

Isaac Hayes did record his version of 'Walk On By' in 1969.

[@sharonstark1014]

Check out "I say a Little Prayer", "I'll Never Love this Way Again" and "This Girl's in Love with You." Burt Bacharach and Dionne were one of the great singer/songwriters of their time. Dionne and Whitney Houston were cousins.

Terrific reaction, Day One. Dionne owns this signature tune, but see also Johnny Mathis at The Grammy’s a few years ago. Also Andy Williams.

[@thomash.rudwall]

Both Johnny and Andy sing it live - great, I’m sure you’ll agree.

She was such a class act.

Some great songs that Dionne sung were: "I Say a Little Prayer for You", "Do you know the Way to San Jose", "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", "What the world needs now is Love", "This Girls in Love with You", "That's What Friends Are For", "Deja' Vu", and so many more...

Walk on By was composed by Burt Bacharach, lyrics by Hal David... indeed, it's beautiful!

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Fantastic ❤❤

[@martyemmons1859]

Those beautiful musical orchestrations are pure Burt Bacharach. "Walk On By" has been recorded by many musical artists/bands every since it was released back in 1964, Angela. One of my favorite versions is The Average White Band's recording. And their live performance is even better!

Burt Backarach wrote the music and Hal David wrote the lyrics. They wrote many songs for Warwick and a number of other artists. Rhey were the best. Geniuses both.

That's the good stuff 😎🥃

[@francismedina4547]

Hi, there is no one else singing with her, male or female, except for the back up singers. She started singing low and then high during the chorus. A little trivia about this song, it was rumored that while she was recording this song, Pres. JFK was assassinated.

[@TheToscanaMan]

I believe the song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David specifically for Dionne Warwick in 1963. Others certainly have done it. I had it on 45 PPM record when it came out and must have worn out several copies through excessive playings. Maybe my heart was broken 😢 at that time but I can't remember that far back for sure. 🤣 Thanks for the reaction. Dionne is awesome.

[@markoberg9394]

So many covers of this song. A recent great cover is by Paul Carrack aka “the golden voice” from the UK. Carrack is so smooooth!

This song was covered by at least 20 other people. From Aretha Franklin to Isaac Hayes.

[@RoSaWa386-33]

"I've heard this before..." Yes, I suspect EVERY female vocalist HAD to record this at some point in her career. Burt Bacharach and Hal David... Burt used to sing this occasionally during his small-band shows. This version by Dionne might be correctly considered The Standard for all others - she has that trumpet-like tone in her voice, kind of 'popping-like'.

[@RoSaWa386-33]

During the '80s and '90s, Dionne started an infomercial campaign on late-night TV, advertising her 'seance by phone fortune tellers.' These are made fun for about 10 years or so, and faded away sooner than the jokes did.

[@marysweeney7370]

Doja Cat sampled it. I am not really up on current music, but i did hear about this. I can't say that I liked the Doja cat song...I can't help that I prefer these oldies but goodies!

[@daleb1279]

@@calme-dx2dp Yes. Dionne's mother, Lee (Delia) was the oldest sister and when their parents died, Cissy (Emily) being the youngest wasn't quite old enough to be on her own so she lived with Lee's family including Dionne and her sister Dee Dee, and Cissy being only 8 years older than Dionne, they were always very close. Cissy was a talented singer in her own right and when you listen to Cissy's recordings you can see her influence on both her niece Dionne and her own daughter Whitney. Cissy just passed last month and Dionne said their family had lost their matriarch.
