  • Dee Dee Warwick sound like her sister Dionne Warwick and looks like her too a bit

  • it's the money morning ;)

  • i'm sent sraight back to an oldies nighter at the Casino, me, Gaz Kellet,Tony Livesy Eddie Ryan, Jed Rudd ( a Wheel legend ) and Snap, Billy Harrison and Steve Hewitt. it only seems like a few months ago, but it was more like 35/36 years ago. I can still picture what and were we where stood when Dee dees anthem was played. Life is but a fleeting minute. BRILLIANT SOUND.

  • Watched/listened to this in the morning and oddly after nearly 4 years of being on YouTube this song/video is no longer available as of this evening. Guess these old hags don't want anyone to know that they once had talent.

  • fucking monday !

    <3

  • beautifull

    

  • That Drinkard gene pool is something else! Dionne's son David is following in his mom & auntie's footsteps with some gorgeous smooth jazz stylings, while his brother is wasting time with rap/hip-hop music. My view is that Dee Dee's voice was nowhere near the high register of her "Aunt Sis" but was "earthier" than sister Dionne's.

  • i can remember rippin up the dance floor of the Northern Soul All - Nighters at Clouds in Edinburgh to this, FANTASTIC

  • She sounds pretty damn good. I never knew that Dionne's sister sang. Why didn't they give her some good new material to sing so she could have made a name for herself.

  • I love Dee Dee but i like the Mamas and the Papas singing this better.

  • I just especially love the way she says "be here with meeeeeee" at 0.30.

  • This song is from the Mamas and the Papas in 1966

  • Super Class Soul Artist * * * * *

    Many Many Big Hits An Absolute Star,Total Top Top Cred !!!! Fav Track- Mashed Potato,Cameo Parkray records ^

    Brilliant Posting .....

    Thanks Gaz *

  • She sings this beautifully.

  • Goodbye Dee Dee, at rest now.

  • She sounds a little like Cissy Houston when she reaches for her higher notes.

  • R.I.P. Dee Dee.

  • R.I.P

  • Another sad loss to the world of soul music, RIP DEEDEE, X

  • RIP DEE DEE..You are at peace now..

  • R.I.P

  • RIP Dee Dee

  • Thanks for posting.

    Absolutely brilliant uptempo that I just love all the time and play out whenever I get chance - but there so many brilliant ballads that she recorded. Another of the true godesses of soul has gone to heaven

  • R.I.P

  • R.I.P.

  • RIP, your music will always be rememberd.

  • We are saddened to hear the news. Prayers to you and your family. Peace be with you.

  • this morning [Saturday] at 10:00 my beloved sister Dee Dee made her transition..............she went peacefully of which i am grateful.

    again i must say thank you to all that held her in prayer..............knowing that God has given her a merciful release from the pain she suffered with for so very long has been my comfort.

    all that is left to say is that God has another incredible voice to add to His angelic choir.

    God Bless You All for Caring.

  • My condolences to Dee Dee's family. A beautiful voice she and her sister Dionne has. I hope to hear more from Dionne and my prayers go out to the family

  • R.I.P DEE DEE..you'll be missed love

  • DeeDee Warwick died today in east orange NJ from a long illness she had .

  • you will be missed my friend and singing better than ever

  • Cool version!Thanks for posting

  • The Mamas & Papas did do this first..Dee Dee covered their song which was the flip side to "I'll Be Better Off Without You"

  • I always thought the Mamma's and the Pappa's did this song first. there version is cool. I like her also.

  • Whatever happened to DEE DEE?

  • Dee Dee is doing well,working a lot with Dionne,and you can finally hear her on CD with Dionne's new gospel album"Why We Sing"..She continues to do the backing vocal for Dionne's one woman show "Music and Me"

  • I'm so glad I found this posting! Great arrangement that would've floored Petula Clark and Tony Hatch! Now this version SHOULD have been a hit single! Mercury Records sure didn't know what they had in Dee Dee.

  • brill mate ktf

  • Fantastic dancing track,if this does`nt get you up nothing will,great tune,ktf.

  • i'v always had a great respect for this diva

  • Stunning. Better than the original.

  • nice one g ktf

  • This is nice. I love Dee Dee also. Although I don't remember it when it was out, as a kid I thought that "When Love Slips Away" was one of the best songs in the world....You know what? I still do.

  • When Love Slips Away could be a hit even today.I always used this to convince people they needed to be in her fan club

  • I like this a lot better than the original Mamas/Papas version...much more fun to listen to. DeeDee is definitely an underrated talent.

  • I love this version,but it is just another Mercury recording that they could not handle the distortion of her performance on vinyl ..and boy did that anger her

  • Interesting take on the song...

    My favorite Dee Dee song is "Yours Until Tomorrow"

  • You can hear Dionne in Whitney and Cissy and vice versa. Dee Dee has a different sound altogether, quite unique. Shame she neve became a big star.

  • I actually hear Cissy in Dee Dee voice. Dee Dee has also been quoted that Cissy really pushed her to sing!!

  • good!

  • From the President of Dee Dee's International fan club years ago, thrilled to see this tribute and will pass it on to her!!!!!

  • Glad you liked it...Thanks

  • Please let her know that there are many, many people who were not even born when these songs were around. But we have become really big fans!! Love her!

  • Have let her know....She is so happy!!!!

  • Does anyone have Dee Dee Warwick's "I Want To Be With You"?

  • I do and will post it soon along with some others but this much underated singer

  • I can barely wait. Much thanks Dukey453!

  • PLEASE post what you have..I would do but am computer idiot-smile
