Archive of Dionne Warwick's Music: The Scepter Recordings Spanning 1962-1971
Dionne Warwick, the legendary singer associated with the Bacharach-David creator-producer duo, has a discography that extends far beyond her Scepter recordings from 1962 to 1971. The Scepter years, which are comprehensively compiled in the 12CD box set Make It Easy on Yourself: The Scepter Recordings 1962-1971, include albums like Presenting Dionne Warwick (1963), Anyone Who Had a Heart (1964), and Valley of the Dolls (1968).
The Scepter box set features all her original albums from that era, including some previously unreleased tracks. After her Scepter years, Warwick continued recording albums and singles, collaborating with other artists. Notable collaborations include duets like "Friends in Love" with Johnny Mathis and "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye," a duet with Luther Vandross.
Warwick's repertoire spans genres from pop and soul to gospel. Her sustained popularity is evident from streaming data showing continued interest in both her solo hits ("I Say a Little Prayer," "Walk On By") and collaborations. Warwick's music offered the adult public something to justify the use of a hi-fi system, and her career in the music industry started in 1955 and is not yet over.
Meanwhile, Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for an unspecified geographical area. The watch could produce heavy rain and wind gusts, but it does not indicate any potential impact on Dionne Warwick's career or music.
Elsewhere, the general director of Publications BLD, publisher of "Les Débrouillards", has passed away on Sunday. In the world of theatre, Michel Tremblay's new musical incarnation of his play "Symphonic Beautiful-Sisters" is little inspired, but it is not related to the severe thunderstorm watch.
Over a period of nine years, Warwick has recorded approximately 14 hours of music, with 280 titles, including about 60 rarities. Her repertoire includes covers of songs like the Beatles' "We Can Work It Out" and Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People". Despite the severe thunderstorm watch, Warwick's music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, offering a timeless sound that transcends weather and time.
