Does anybody know why Hal David did not attend? He was scheduled to be there but is not in the photos. I hope he is well.
Also it was announced yesterday that she is coming back to Berlin again May 22nd, playing the gorgeous Admiralspalast.

You are very welcome...I'm glad you are enjoying them.
Could very well have been one of the last times of Burt and Dionne performing together.

When I got my tickets for the Berlin concert today the lady at the counter told me Dionne was touring with her regular band plus an 11-piece string section. I'm so glad she is doing this right and it makes a lot of sense since she is doing the Olympia in Paris the next night and the Royal Albert Hall event the same week.
This great clip form her 1966 Olympia show just appeared on youtube: "You'll Never Get To Heaven"

And I just saw that "A Man And A Woman", the fantastic live album she recorded with Isaac Hayes in the summer of '77, is finally being released on CD May 29th. Hallelujah!
Editorial Reviews
Both producer-songwriter-turned-recording artist-performer Isaac Hayes and international hitmaker Dionne Warwick had already established themselves as musical icons by the time Hayes' management team suggested the two tour together in the summer of 1977. It was a logical pairing in particular because Hayes had enjoyed his first experience of success as an outfront chartmaker with his unforgettable version of Warwick's classic 1964 hit, 'Walk On By' that was featured on his "Hot Buttered Soul" breakthough album in 1969. Working together with their respective touring bands and background vocalists, the spectacular show focused on obvious hits from the catalogues of each performer including Dionne's original 'I Say A Little Prayer' combined with Isaac's memorable reading of the Glen Campbell hit, 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix.' In addition to tracks associated with each of the performers - such as "Then Came You" (Dionne's 1974 chart-topping duet with The Spinners) and Isaac's 1975 hits, 'Chocolate Chip' and 'Come Live With Me' - the pair created some great combinations of hits of the day including a fourteen-minute-plus whirlwind medley of seven songs; and a soulful combo of 'Feelings' and 'My Eyes Adored You.' Recorded at the end of the tour in Atlanta at The Fabulous Fox Theater, A MAN & A WOMAN is making its first appearance on CD and has long been in demand by fans of both artists. Notes by SoulMusic.com founder David Nathan include 2012 quotes from Dionne Warwick.

Quite a lineup for the Royal Albert Hall concert next month, too.
Together with Rumer and Sandie Shaw that will be a great night...And Cliff Richard, too.
