Talk:Dionne Warwick/Archive 1

Removed material
Removed the following paragraph, which I think is unneeded, as it just repeats what has been said before: Her career stalled in the 1970s until she had a hit duet with The Spinners entitled "Then Came You" in 1974. A few years later, in 1979, she struck gold again with "I'll Never Love This Way Again".

January 2006 concert
Could you write about the huge concert that was given in January 2006, at the Kodak Theather, Los Angeles, Ca., in honor of Ms. Warwick's achievements. Everybody, who is Anybody, was there. It is supposed to be televised. I hope it winds up on DVD. I was there and it was a once-in-a-lifetime show.24.92.62.178 02:27, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

Super Password
I was just wondering if there should be any mention of her appearances on the game show Super Password. 64.12.116.8 20:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Host of "Solid Gold"
Does anyone know the time period in which Dionne Warwick was the host of the TV music show "Solid Gold"? I know she was the host of the original 2-hour special in 1979 and the first host of the regular series, but I do not have any citable references. Respectfully, SamBlob 22:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

"Anyone Who Had A Heart"
I have edited out the POV statements regarding Cilla Black's version of "Anyone Who Had A Heart". Anything favoring Black's version should be on Black's page, and not that of Warwick. Dma124 01:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

1970 Grammy Award
DMA124 please check Dionne's website. Dionne won the award for the album "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" not the single of the same name which is contained in the album. --Mook356 03:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC) 02:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

http://www.csb.dk/artister/dionnew/engbiografi/Warwick%20-bio.doc also please see Dionne's official web site. DMA124 the award was for the album, please research further, including print records from 1971. Press accounts state the award for for the album not the single. Mook356 03:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Barbra Streisand won for the Broadway Album in 86. Nominated in the same category-Dionne Warwick for the Friends Album, Cindy Lauper for the single True Colors, Tina Turner for the single Typical Make and Madonna for the single Papa Don't Preach. The assumption that only singles are eligible for nomination in this category is not valid. Please research print records for 1970 awards and you will indeed find that the award was made for Dionne's entire album, as stated in her own web site and also a link which states the same in a biographical document.

Dionne's Grammy for "I'll Never Fall In Love Again"
Hello: regarding Dionne Warwick's Grammy win for "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". The Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Performance Grammy is given for the song, not for the album. Please visit this site: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0150563.html -- you will see other nominees in the Contemporary category for songs only.

Dionne won the Grammy over these other nominees, all for single releases and NOT albums:

Diana Ross, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"; Bobbie Gentry, "Fancy"; Linda Ronstadt, "Long, Long Time"; and Anne Murray, "Snowbird". Additionally, Dionne won this same award in 1969 for "Do You Know The Way To San Jose"; Peggy Lee won for the single "Is This All There Is?" in 1970; and Aretha Franklin won in 1968 for "Respect". Dma124 03:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

According to the Star-News-March 14, 1971, Pasadena, California, Bobbie Gentry was nominated for the album Fancy which also contained the single Fancy. The same article states Dionne was nominated for the album I'll Never Fall In Love Again, while Snowbird, Long, Long Time and Ain't No Mountain High enough were single nominations.

Size of pictures?
I just wonder, why are the pictures that big? Could they not be reasonable size with possibility to click for big one if you wanted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.176.237.1 (talk) 14:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Question
Considering her association with "psychics", does Warwick belong in Category:Psychic?  Enigma  message 06:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Dionne Warwick moved to Brazil

YouTube User: Totally Dionne
A couple of weks ago I noticed that all their videos are gone and the account has been suspended. Does anyone know what happened?

She also ranks as one of the 10 all-time biggest Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary hit makers of all time.
Redundant.

Lost References
There are two references that no longer exist.

Thought I'd raise this as I thought it would be quite important. I came across reference numbers 5 and 7 didn't work. Matt Reston (talk) 17:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation of name
I had always assumed her name was pronounced the same as the city in England. This is the same as her birthname - Warrick. I had never heard anyone pronounce it any other way. While watching The Apprentice recently the announcer kept referring to her as Dionne War-Wick. Is this just one individual or is that how she prefers her name to be pronounced? Sue De Nimes (talk) 08:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

her name is pronounced "War-Wick". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.240.111 (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * The name she had, before she changed the spelling,  was pronounced the same as the town and county in England.  Go figure.  Eregli bob (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2012 (UTC)


 * She pronounces it 'Worrick' (the same as the English town) but many radio DJs (including some English ones who presumably heard it pronounced incorrectly while in the US) mis-pronounce her name as 'War-wick'. The non-phonetic spelling/pronunciation is a result of the British variations in spelling going back to the middle ages, and their cumulative laziness in pronunciation over time. But 'Warwick' is always properly pronounced 'Worrick'. She was on a radio interview sometime back in the 1980s and she was asked how to pronounce her name, and she replied 'Worrick'.


 * BTW, IIRC, her record company also spelt her name incorrectly on her first single - 'Warrick', I think. It's just one of those English names that isn't pronounced how it looks today - such as Chiswick - 'Chizzick'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 20:59, 17 November 2012 (UTC)


 * To confuse matters even further, the phonetic IPA pronunciation /ˈdiːɒn ˈwɔːrwɪk/ given after her birth name is not only the pronunciation of her professional name, but perpetuates the notion that it should be pronounced 'War-wick' with two audible 'w' sounds. I don't who's right about all this, but writing 'Marie Dionne Warrick' and then 'DE-on WAR-wick' (as the IPA pronunciation would sound in English) seems crazy.213.127.210.95 (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Dionne Warwick/Stevie Wonder duets
Stevie Wonder composed the soundtrack for the movie `The Woman in Red` co-starring Gilda Radner and her husband Gene Wilder. Dionne Warwick sang on at least three tracks with Stevie Wonder, `It`s You` ,`Moments and `Weakness`.115.177.148.161 (talk) 23:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Surname
Article explains the surname change from Warrick to Warwick (typo on a record label), but does not explain how Dionne's family members got the name Warwick.24.239.185.114 (talk) 01:06, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Also it says she was born Warwick, so surely that's wrong. – anemone projectors – 16:53, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Never mind, someone watching the same TV show as me has changed it! – anemone projectors – 16:55, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

The article lists her birth name as "Marie Dionne Warrick." I would note that in her March 2013 bankruptcy filing, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court docket lists her name as "Dionne Marie Warwick." So, aside from the change from "Warrick" to "Warwick," she has also changed the way she shows first and second names. No big deal. Famspear (talk) 19:07, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
