Born Marie Dionne Warrick on December 12th 1940, she is known to her fans as Dionne Warwick and is an American singer, actress, and television host. During her career, Warwick has won many awards, including six Grammy Awards. She has been inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Apollo Theater Walk of Fame.

Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest U.S. hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on her chart history on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart. She is the second-most charted female vocalist during the rock era (1955–1999). She is also one of the most-charted vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998 (12 of them Top Ten), and 80 singles in total – either solo or collaboratively – making the Hot 100, R&B, or adult contemporary charts. Warwick ranks number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100's "Greatest Artists of all time".

Well known for working with Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Warwick has also worked with a who’s who of the most popular artists around. Niece of Cissy Houston (Mother of Whitney Houston ) she sang in a family group called the Drinkard Singers with Cissy and many of her family members and made her first Television appearance with them.

This video was taken at a concert that Warwick played at York Barbican Centre on 10th June 2022. She was 81 at the time and if I recall correctly had just had hip surgery which is why she was sitting for the whole concert. I had seen her perform about 30 years prior to this and her voice was impeccable then but, age has caught up with her and her voice wasn’t quite at the quality (understandably for her age) as it was in her prime. It was still a very enjoyable concert though.

This is a snippet of the performance of the song “We Are The World” from the concert.

Enjoy the Music.

Big Love ❤️ to All.
