Miss Dionne Warwick - Don't Make Me Over (Year 1967)

No, her voice has changed she no longer has the clarity in it that she used to.

HAS - she is alive and still singing great!

She had one of the greatest voices ever.

there is so much soul into this song....
i just love it..

qtronics1..a nice story, but not exactly the way it happened... this is actually her 1st recording as a solo artist. However, she wanted to record the song "Make it easy on yourself", but Bacharach gave the song to someone else instead. When she walked in & found out "her song" was given away, she got niffed & snapped at them "Don't make me over", & walked out. They loved her fire & decided that they would write a song just for her based on that one phrase.. but I like your version too ;),

I think I may like your story better. LOL
Now you got me second guessing if I have it right.
I'll have to pull out my CD album, and do a verification. {I'll get back with you on that}
I've never seen Dionne in concert. I came close a few times but never made it.
I make a point to only play her songs periodically on purpose because I consider her songs like "fine wine" oldies.
And you know you don't drink fine wine every day or it's not special.

@qtronics1 I heard "Say a Little Prayer" had similar beginnings. She came into the studio and spoke about a letter she received from a friend serving in Nam.

That's very interesting since we probably all knew some one that had a connection with the {Viet Nam} war.
Would like to find out more history on her songs. I'll have to do some digging on Google.
