Dionne Warwick - Heartbreaker (The Very Best)
Dionne Warwick

Dionne - the third member of the Bacharach/David team

Back on tour (and coming to Nottingham) Dionne shows us what all the fuss is about.

Lileth Burgetta

It's a bit of a surprise but for all her classy interpretations of Burt Bacharach / Hal David songs, Dionne Warwick's biggest hit in the UK was the 1982 song Heartbreaker.

It reached number 2 and gives this latest collection of hits its title.

That said, the album is dominated by those easy listening gems from the 60s.

The usual suspects appear. Walk On By, San Jose, The Look of Love and I'll Never Fall In Love Again.

Usual maybe, but no matter how often your hear them they still make you sit up and take notice; such is the class of Bacharach and David and the way Warwick conveys the song.

Compare her take on Alfie with Cilla's screech. No contest.

After a bust up with Mr Bacharach, Dionne's hits dried up until the Gibb brothers stepped in with some Bee Gees magic.

Thus Heartbreaker and All The Love In The World put the singer back in the limelight.

Three years later Bacharach was back on board and That's What Friends Are For was raising money for AIDS research.

The songs here are great, the voice is sheer perfection.

It's not a definitive collection. There's no Promises, Promises or Make It Easy On Yourself.

Given that Aretha Franklin recently had a double CD of her finest moments, it's a shame the same wasn't done for Dionne.

Still, this remains a classy collection.

Heartbreaker is released on BMG / WSM WSMCD101.
