Dionne Warwick Biography

Dionne Warwick was a pop and R&B music star of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly known for singing the songs of the composer-lyricist team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. (Her Bacharach/David hits include “Walk On By,” “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” “I Say A Little Prayer” and “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again.”) In the 1980s she collaborated with Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder on the Grammy-winning single “That’s What Friends Are For,” a fundraiser for AIDS victims.

Dionne Warwick gained fresh notoriety in the 1990s with her infomercials for the Psychic Friends Network, a pay-per-call service that offered “psychic” readings over the phone. Warwick has since lived in Brazil and the United States, performing at times and selling a line of skin care products. She published a children’s book, Say A Little Prayer, in 2008.
