Price: $125.00
(as of Nov 03, 2024 23:09:08 UTC - Details)

2012 two CD collection. Living legend, one of the greatest female vocalists of all time: these and many other accolades have been bestowed upon Dionne Warwick, and all with good reason. Through her famous collaboration with songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Dionne Warwick has gone on to produce some of the most memorable songs in music history. This album features her very biggest hits spread over two CDs including her first solo single from Scepter Records, 'Don't Make Me Over' (1962). Also featuring, 'Walk on By' (1964), 'Do You Know the Way to San Jose' (1968) and 'I Say a Little Prayer' (1966), and her massive 1982 hit 'Heartbreaker'.

Title: Three stars ☆☆☆ for the product, but
Review: ☆☆☆☆☆ for the service and delivery.The recording is not sonically compelling. I have heard Warwick tunes on a compilation of Burt Bacharach songs that absolutely perfect and sound like Dionne is in the room. This compilation is more like something you'd buy in the late 90s.. Simply not engaging.So much more could be done with her recordings.Not suitable for critical listening but nonetheless a comprehensive collection.

Title: This is the Dionne Warwick CD you need in your music library.
Review: Finally - this disc does almost have all the hits I remember from those days when music was at its historic levels. Many may find the other tracks enjoyable as I do as well but those tracks were not played on AM radio every day. What IS missing IMO is 'That's What Friends Are For'. After all these years my mistake with the 'Definitive Collection' was buying based on the many reviews assuming it was the better by popularity. I say mistake because the Definitive Collection is poorly recorded, at least my CD was having a second of the next track at the end of the previous track. This ruined the listening experience. Apparently someone was asleep at the wheel or was not qualified to be in the room. What makes people 'follow' others is always been an curiosity of mine. But I seldom do it. I've noticed people shopping out of my cart at a big box store - I guess "if Shes buying that product it must be something good?! THIS CD The Best Of Dionne Warwick - again has almost every memorable recording AND it sounds great. I thought I read someone say it did not sound like a quality recording????? my comment is....your equipment must not be quality equipment. It felt good to discard the Definitive Collection from my library.

Title: Mixed Blessing
Review: I was confused by the mixed reviews, but the price was reasonable. Well, these are really sung by Dionne, but the quality of the re-recordings is poor, tinny, with slight distortion in some tracks, like What the World Needs Now. These are not remastered. It's what is called "needledrop" recording, the cheapest approach. Otherwise, it's a good selection, and if youhave good equipment with EQ, you might be able to compensate. I don't. For me, the sound quality recreates the AM radio I originally heard the songs on.

Title: Do You Know the Way to Fantastic Music? You won't go wrong and lose your way with this collection.
Review: WOW! This is THE Dionne Warwick album to get if you want all of her really good hits. Dionne has been singing so many years that one disc can't do all of them. Yes, "Then Came You" is the number one with the Spinners though the label doesn't mention them. Her voice is just wonderful and so smooth. Bacharach and David wrote almost all her early songs and later she had great songs from other writers. I could write for ever about how good she is and the songs are but you simply have to buy this and listen for yourself. Wish I could have given more than five stars. (It's fun to sing along with her though most of us won't match her talent).

Review: Schöne 60ger, 70iger Jahre Musik einer großen Sängerin wie es sie heutzutage kaum noch gibt. Tolle Zusammenstellung aller Hits auf zwei CDs. Für mich hoher nostalgischer Stellenwert.

Review: 比較的有名だと思う名曲「Do You Know the Way to San Jose」・・。私はこの曲を、恐らく２～３歳の頃聴いていて、その時丁度、何かしらの凄く怖い体験をしており、この曲とその頃の記憶が結びついてずっと今まで生きてきました。ただ今の今まで、この曲のタイトルもアーティスト名も全く知らないでいて、なんとたった数か月前、YouTubeで遂に分かったのでした。・・このように、ディオンヌ・ワーウィックの曲、ひいてはバート・バカラックの作り出す音楽には、かなり個性的なインパクト、特徴があると思われ、一度聴いたら耳にこびりついてなかなか離れないものがあるような気がします。それは同時に美しく、ときめきが封じ込まれている良質なポップスです。そして私はこのアルバムを手に入れ、数々の聴いた事があった名曲たちと再会することができました。"Walk on by" "I Say a Little Prayer" "Wishin' and Hopin'"など、いつかどこかで聴いた事があったはずの名曲ぞろい。日本のポップス、歌謡曲のメロディセンスには無い正にアメリカンポップスの魅力を感じることができました。（ちなみにこれを機に、今バート・バカラック氏の手掛けた曲がマイブームとなっており、彼のベスト盤も購入しました）2枚組で、相当数の曲が収録されています。選曲、曲の順番など、とても良い感じです。にわか発掘者ですが、少なくとも私には捨て曲は一曲もありませんでした。購入して良かったと思います。
