Description:

European only Gold Disc packaged in an exclusive slipcase. The Definitive Collection is just that, a 20-track retrospective of the New Jersey songstress' entire career. Extensive liner notes trace her career from roots in gospel to session work as a background singer, on through her association with Burt Bacharach and many later collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. The first nine tracks are all classic '60s tunes written by Bacharach and Hal David. The songwriting team presented Warwick with such chestnuts as 'Walk On By', 'Alfie', and 'I Say A Little Prayer', and she croons them perfectly. 'Then Came You', Warwick's duet with The Spinners, shows how she changed soulfully with the times. In an age when every female R&B artist is being marketed as a Diva, the 25 years of music on this album prove that Warwick has indisputably earned her title. Arista. 2005.

5The real Diva "Dionne Warwick"!  Jun 10, 2009
This is one of the best if not the best albums Dionne released. I love her interpretation of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", it brought tears to my eyes. All the standards that she sung accompanied by Burt Bacharach are just the joint! A very memorable album and the best of Dionne!

1Poorly mastered...  May 14, 2008
The problem with this CD is that whoever did the mastering didn't know how to insert track-markings. If you are scanning through the disc, you might think that the introductions of many songs have been cut off. What has happened is that [...] Arista placed most of the track markings AFTER songs have started (You have to back-up and listen to the end of a previous track in order to hear the beginning of the next one).

Naturally, if you play the CD from start to finish, you'll never notice this problem.

This is really sad because the quality of the sound is very good, and the CD is probably the best representation of Warwick's work. But I wouldn't recommend this disc because of the technical flaw.

4Nice walk down memory lane.  Aug 23, 2007
I purchased this CD because I loved D. Warwick growning up. I liked the songs on the CD and it brought back pleasant memories. A good sing along type grouping.

I purchased this CD for a "picture to DVD" project and
had forgotten how many great hits Dionne Warwick has.
This CD has the best of her collection. You will know
every song and they all are awesome!

5The velvet and expressive voice!  Jan 07, 2006
Mrs Warwick is a living legend. Her presence in the musical stages was never more expected, because somehow she filled a visible void in this wide sector of the market.

She represented the kind, expressive, romantic and charm voice inside the varied universe of musical genres. The white voices were literally complete; there were quite a lot number of options: Petula Clark, Brenda Lee, Peggy Lee, Tammy Wynette, Connie Francis, Bobbie Gentry, Dusty Springfield, but the Black voices lacked of someone like her. Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin filled the soul spirit, but hardly you would be able to watch just a spectacle under moonlight with such music.

The best evidence in this sense was the fact composer of the artistic level Burt Bacharach composed a part of his unforgettable creations for her. Do you know the way to San Jose? or This guy 's in love with you are irrefutable testimonies that seem to valid this statement

Go for this album that will reward you over and over again.
