Re: Dionne's hugely successful UK 50th anniversary tour

Yes I have been watching the clips and reading the reviews as well. Reminds me of a recent clip within the year of the huge audience at the end of Dionne's appearance in Canada. Whatever is left in Dionne's creative tank at this point for sure audiences still love to see her. I wish her only the best!

Re: Dionne: New Bacharach Songs ??

Not to get into this fight but it does appear a few posters here love to beat up Dionne, like it's their job. Of course you have the right to state your opinion but please recognize that others will take you to task. For all of Dionne's vocal limitations at this point she still has a wonderful way s...

Re: Celebrity Apprentice (with Dionne)

I tend to agree with gillanddon, this is not the show I would have personally picked for Dionne to be in, yet at the end of the day is this really that big of a deal? I do think some here suffer from a bit of 'drama' alert. If some had been around during the 70's Burt doing 'cheap wine ads' or 'his ...

Re: Dionne Warwick and a Duet partner (Scepter)

Robin Platts "What the World needs Now" Page 74 I quote " A lot of times they would give me a tape of the song..., because I didn't read music. And the one thing that me and Burt kind of butted heads on. He wanted me to learn how to read music, and I told him I didn't really want to b...

Re: Dionne Warwick and a Duet partner (Scepter)

I can't recall if it was Robin Platt's book or another of book written about Burt, Hal, Dionne and the music. But I have fairly good recall regarding BJ is quoted saying that he drove Burt crazy with not being able to read music. I will check back...with the actually quote and page and author...!!!

Re: dionne in news; question about net worth

Whitney is that you? LOL! jmac is correct, bachtobacharach what proof do you have that Whitney Houston has lost any homes. If you do a simple check Whitney sold a house in Atlanta ( she and Bobby lived) by the way Whitney's brother still lives in the same neighborhood and put one house on her estat...

Re: dionne in news; question about net worth

I think it is unclear how much money Dionne actually has at this point. I don't for a second believe that Dionne still only tours because of the money she makes alone. Yes it could be financial decisions but the truth is Dionne appears to love to being on the run, moving from one project to another....

Re: Dionne Warwick and a Duet partner (Scepter)

Isn't it a well known fact that BJ drove Burt crazy with his lack or inability to read music. I have read and seen interviews were Burt has said as much. BJ stated a few times in interview as well as at the time BJ described that he was loving the night life and would sometimes show up to recording ...
