Rare Dionne from 1963-Don't Make Me Over

Post by BachtoBacharach »

Very rare clip of 22 year old Dionne lip-syncing to Don't Make Me Over in 1963.




And Dionne from 1964 Anyone Who Had A Heart...this time a live nightclub performance although the transfer speed of the video made Dionne sound as though she was high on helium. In this clip notice how far Dionne backs away from the microphone during the close of the tune...she has to be standing a good 6 feet away from the mic when she hits that finale.

"Don't Break My Pretty Balloon" (i.e. helium balloon)!

Have to admit Dionne wasn't looking too good in that first clip. Thanks goodness the stylists made "her over"
