I was so looking forward to watching this documentary depicting the classy and award winning singer Dionne Warwick and once again those goosebumps made the hair on my arms stand at attention. I learned a bit more about Dionne Warwick, her upbringing, her relationship with Whitney Houston, and even one of her earliest mentors, the great Hollywood actress Marlene Dietrich.
I can't say there is one particular song of Ms. Warwick that stands above the rest (simply because they are all memorable and heartwarming) but listening to how Ms. Warwick first felt about songs like "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" and her gathering of the troops to put together the Aids foundation "That's What Friends Are For" to raise millions of dollars for the Aids foundation tell us how truly committed she has been to certain causes that may have not been popular for the time.
I simply love her music and this documentary makes me love her even more. I will be sure to purchase it when it becomes available.

A Legend, On And Off The Stage!
Finally, Dionne Warwick is getting some of the due she deserves. I know, how can you say that a women who has had the career, accomplishments and accolades that she has received, is underrated, but I do. As Clive Davis says herein, she is at the top pantheon of female singers-an all time great. You have to have seen her in concert, in her prime, to truly appreciate the power of her vocal talents and her ability to move you through song. I've been privileged to see her live a couple of dozens times, beginning in 1969. The first record I ever bought was a Dionne Warwick album.
But, of course, as this outstanding documentary shows, she is much more than just her music. She is a leader. A philanthropist. A mover. A shaker. She is a legend!
