Fecha de Nacimiento: 12 de diciembre de 1940
Biografía:
Es una cantante estadounidense de soul y pop. Hermana de Dee Dee Warwick, sobrina de Cissy Houston y prima de Whitney Houston.
El trabajo musical más elogiado de Dionne Warwick es el que realizó con los compositores Hal David y Burt Bacharach.
Se inició en la música como cantante gospel con su familia. Su debut en solitario de la mano de Burt Bacharach en 1962 (“Don’t Make Me Over”) apareció por una errata de imprenta bajo el apellido Warwick, no Warrick; un error que propició el nombre artístico de Dionne para toda su carrera. Este sencillo tuvo un cierto éxito, situación que no volvería a repetirse hasta 1964 con “Anyone Who Had a Heart” y “Walk on By”, este último un éxito en el Reino Unido. Les sucederían otros hasta 1971 en la que abandonó el sello Scepter por una fuerte disputa mantenida con Bacharach.
En su etapa posterior en Warner, consiguió el éxito con el tema “Then Came You”, de 1974 escrito por Thom Bell y Linda Creed e interpretado en un dueto con The Spinners.
En la década de los 80, y tras un nuevo cambio de sello discográfico, obtuvo un nuevo éxito con “Heartbreaker” en 1982, canción compuesta por The Bee Gees con la voz de Barry Gibb en el coro. A partir de entonces sus grabaciones se fueron espaciando, hasta un repunte de popularidad en 2006 con un álbum de duetos (My friends & me).

Biography:
She is an American soul and pop singer. Sister of Dee Dee Warwick, niece of Cissy Houston, and cousin of Whitney Houston.
Dionne Warwick’s most praised musical work is the one she made with composers Hal David and Burt Bacharach.
He started in music as a gospel singer with his family. His 1962 Burt Bacharach solo debut (“Don’t Make Me Over”) appeared by misprint under the surname Warwick, not Warrick; a mistake that led to the artistic name of Dionne for her entire career. This single had some success, a situation that would not be repeated until 1964 with “Anyone Who Had a Heart” and “Walk on By”, the latter a hit in the UK. Others would succeed them until 1971 in which he left the Scepter label due to a strong dispute with Bacharach.
In his later stint at Warners, he found success with the 1974 song “Then Came You,” written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed and performed as a duet with The Spinners.
In the 1980s, and after a new change of record label, he had a new success with “Heartbreaker” in 1982, a song composed by The Bee Gees with the voice of Barry Gibb in the chorus. From then on his recordings were spaced out, until a rise in popularity in 2006 with an album of duets (My friends & me).
