What's so special about this performance is that there are no background vocals anywhere. Dionne is carrying the melody through the chorus all by her lonesome working her way through 2 or 3 registers with stunning ease and flexibility. Few girl singers, then or now, could do this with such effortless finesse.

This is a prime example of who Ms. Warwick is as an artist....a Pop & Soul Diva!

@bravespear7 She sure did SANG!! Wow.. Aretha, boss lady she may be and one of my favorites, can't hold a candle to Dionne in some respects.. The changes in the registers, and the softer tones.. for example. :) Love it!!

So much class. There's really so much finesse and depth to this rendition. She reels you in slowly with understatement that speaks to her supreme confidence. Then she builds the narrative into a rollercoaster of fluttering valleys and peaks. Like someone else said with "no backup singers". Watch other performers try their hand at this song and you'll see how they pale in comparison.

Dionne float through this mother fucker like a butterfly and hit a real high "C" at the end, lol. She can be fucked wit because she will surprise you and you won't know what hit you, lol.

dionne shut up. This is so watered down. How dare you
Aretha wrote it, recorded it, but baby DIONNE sang IT!! She dances flutters, floats , soars and glides through this song like nothing you've ever heard or ever will, then she stamps it at the end with a POP!! Waking us from the daydream!! I never tire of hearing THIS SONG!! I love the dress, the hair, the stance, the posture ,the poise, the gestures too!
