Dionne Warwick Heartbreaker 1982 International Smash Hit Over 100 Dionne Warwick tracks with rare photos on Dibotis' Dionne Warwick Channel. Check them out! "Heartbreaker", a 1982 hit written by The Bee Gees' Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb, became one of Dionne's biggest international hits, peaking on Billboard's Hot 100 at #10 in January 1983 and #1 AC in the USA and #2 in the UK. Internationally, the tune was also a smash in continential Europe, Australia, Japan, South Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, Canada, and Asia. The track was taken from the album Heartbreaker which to date has sold over 3 million internationally and earned Dionne an RIAA USA gold record award for the album. The album peaked at #25 on the Hot 100 Album Chart, #13 on the R&B Chart and #3 in the UK. Dionne stated to Wesley Hyatt in his The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits that she was not fond of "Heartbreaker," but recorded the tune because she trusted the Bee Gees' judgment that it would be a hit. How did the project come about? The legendary Clive Davis was attending his aunt's wedding in Florida and spoke with Barry Gibb. Barry mentioned that he had always been a fan of Dionne's and Clive arranged for Dionne and the BeeGees to discuss a project. Dionne and the brothers Gibb hit it off and the album "Heartbreaker" and the title single was released in October 1982. Tags: Dionne Warwick Heartbreaker Bee Gees BeeGees Gibb 1982 |

Dionne Warwick I Say A Little Prayer 1967 Million Seller Vintage (1962-1971) photo and ad montage covering Dionne Warwick's tenure at Scepter Records and featuring her huge international smash I Say A Little Prayer. Burt Bacharach arranged, conducts and is on piano. The tune was released as single in Oct. 1967 after DJs all over the country started playing the album cut from the Windows of the World lp. I Say A Little Prayer was certified RIAA Gold selling over 1 million in the USA alone and peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in December 1967. The flip or B side Theme from Valley of the Dolls was also a million seller and rode the #2 position for 4 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in February 1968. I Say A Little Prayer/Theme From Valley of the Dolls is one of the most successful double sided hits of the Rock era. This is the rare unedited version in which Burt Bacharach can be heard on countoff. Although Dionne/Bacharach/David had previous million sellers, I Say A Little Prayer was their first RIAA certified USA million seller for Bacharach and David. Less than one year later, Aretha Franklin would take her cover of "I Say A Little Prayer" to the #10 spot on Billboards Hot 100 singles chart. Writes Nick Tosches, the renowned writer, music journalist, novelist, biographer and poet in the January 7, 1972 issue of the rock magazine FUSION; "...getting into Dionne Warwick is like finding buried treasure. The Bacharach/David repertoire which milady chooses to sing is so fascinatingly cynical / fatalistic / stoical / emotional / happy, simultaneously! It's pure emotion. There is a whole lot more to emotion than some rock punk bursting his dexedrine-staved blood vessels by screaming "Baby I need you baby" into a microphone. Dionne Warwick is not a rock and roll singer. She's not a jazz singer either. Rhythm and blues? Nope. A pop singer? No way. Did you ever tongue-kiss with someone who barfed a Singapore Sling bolus into your mouth, and then four years later you're with someone else and you feel good and you realize how beautiful it all was and then it's all melancholy/happiness, sort of? That's the kind of singer Dionne Warwick is. She's beautiful. Dionne, paired with Bacharach's string/horn/reed arrangements, comes up as a lyric mezzo-sopranoid par-excellence, melodious/expressiveness-wise. If you've never gotten into her, you ought to. Get hep to Dionne Warwick. For your own sake." Tags: Dionne Warwick Best Friend's Wedding 1960s Rare Burt Bacharach 1967 Say Little Prayer Aretha Oldies RRHOF Old School |

Dionne Warwick Do You Know the Way to San Jose 1968 Top 10 Grammy Winner Dionne Warwick's 1968 million selling Grammy winning international smash hit the top ten in May 1968 and was also a UK smash at #8. The flip side "Let Me Be Lonely" also written by Bacharach and David also hit the Billboard Hot 100, one of many double sided hits Dionne recorded on Florence Greenberg's Scepter label. Dionne charted an astonishing eight Billboard Top Twenty hits in less than 30 months: Alfie-#15 July 67; I Say A Little Prayer-Nov 67-#4; Theme From Valley of the Dolls-Feb 68-#2 (4 weeks); Do You Know the Way to San Jose-May 68-#10; Promises, Promises-Oct 1968-#19; This Girl's In Love With You-March 1969-#7; You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling-#15-Sept 69; I'll Never Fall In Love Again-Jan 70-#6. In addition, Warwick hit the Top 40 in the same time period with Windows of the World-Sept 67, Who Is Gonna Love Me-July 68, and The April Fools-July 69. In 1969 Dionne was the first African-American Female Vocalist to win in the Grammy category Best Contemporary-Pop Vocal Performance, Female for Do You Know the Way to San Jose. "San Jose" was also used as the theme in Dodge automobile commercials in 1968 and 1969, for the Charger and the Challenger. "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" became "Dodge Is Turning Up the Fever Now"! Another note of trivia: the background vocalists for this session were Valerie Simpson (Ashford & Simpson), Cissy Houston and DeeDee Warwick.
