Oh no don’t get it twisted: Dionne Warwick was THE FIRST Whitney Houston in the 60’s. The people writing for songs for her did a great job! I have a couple of her Anthologies and I love to put them on when I take long drives-issa vibe! One time I was in Vegas I saw a big carousel board at the airport that had her and Musiq Soulchild headlining together; she’s even got a song with BONE THUGS N’ HARMONY! There’s so much more her discography has to offer than “Walk On By” and “I Say A Little Prayer”; Dionne was able to hold her own next to the likes of Tina Turner and Aretha, so she’s definitely the real deal.
