Long Description:   Listen to an interview with the legendary vocalist Dionne Warwick. She'll be performing in Central Indiana later this month.  Warwick rose to prominence in the early 1960s, after catching the attention of the songwriter and producer Burt Bacharach. During the 1960s, Warwick became the primary voice for Bacharach's chart-topping compositions, co-written with lyricist Hal David. Songs like “Don't Make Me Over,” “Walk on By,” “I Say A Little Prayer,” “I'll Never Fall in Love Again” and many others, dominated the charts. That success led Warwick to become one of the most-charted vocalists of all time, with 80 singles hitting the Billboard charts. Warwick has won 6 Grammy awards, among many other notable accolades. Last month, she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Dionne also discusses the importance of music education, her entrepreneurial pursuits, and how she approaches her craft with elegance and authenticity.Join us for an unforgettable conversation with a true icon as Miss Warwick drops gems on artistry, perseverance, and staying true to yourself.

CNN, Award-Winning Director, The long awaited award winning documentary chronicling the life and career of music legend Dionne Warwick will finally make its way to television. “Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over” airs on New Year's Day  - Sunday, January 1st, 2023 – at 9 pm ET/PT on  CNN. “Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over” was five years in the making, according to filmmaker Dave Wooley, who wrote and solely produced the documentary. Wooley also directed the film alongside veteran David Heilbroner (of “Say Her Name: The Life & Death of Sandra Bland”). “Working on Ms. Warwick's documentary is a dream come true. “To see the movie come to fruition and most importantly, for Ms. Warwick to receive such accolades during her lifetime is gratifying,” explains Wooley, who earned the following honors for the movie – First Runner Up at the Toronto International Film Festival (category: People's Choice Award for Documentaries), Best Feature Film: Black Harvest Film Festival - Gene Siskel Film Center, Audience Award: Best Non Fiction- Montclair Film Festival, Annapolis Film Festival: Audience Award as well as the Audience Award: Bronze Lens and a 90% critics' rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Wooley, who also co-authored Ms. Warwick's autobiography, “My Life as I See It”, wants viewers to realize there's more to the singing icon than the several classic hits she enjoyed (“Walk On By”, “I Say A Little Prayer”, “Do You Know The Way To San Jose”, “Then Came You”, “That's What Friends Are For”). “I want folks to learn about Ms. Warwick's legacy and as a transformational leader,” explains Wooley. “We focus on her work and commitment to Civil Rights in the 1960's and how she stood up and stared down at Jim Crow racism. Then we move on into the 1980's with the AIDS epidemic and her ambassadorship on the US commission to address this matter, which led to Ms. Warwick to prompt then-President Ronald Reagan to speak directly on the issue.”The documentary, which also features Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Bill Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Burt Bacharach, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys among others, was privately screened at the Apollo Theater in NYC's Harlem – the very venue where Ms. Warwick began her long storied solo career. Wooley explains how the icon reacted when seeing the film. “Upon viewing, Ms. Warwick said to me, ‘Dave, you put your foot in that (film)'. That meant so much to me because I put my entire being into making the doc. It's indeed an honor.”© 2022 All Rights Reserved© 2022 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

She received a lifetime Grammy Award in 2018 and continues to be involved in music, most recently on the single "Power In The Name" by her son Damon Elliott & Krayzie Bone (of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) where Warwick adds guest vocals. She shares about the new song, a documentary that's in the works, her WG Design Lab and her love for Brazil. We cap off the Famous Friday Show with the side-splitting Now THAT'S Punny!

"I Say A Little Prayer" Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Volunteered Slavery (Atlantic, 1969) Roland Kirk, Charles McGhee, Dick Griffin, Ron Burton, Vernon Martin, Sonny Brown, Joseph "Habao" Texidor, The Roland Kirk Spirit Choir. El tema es una obra de Burt Bacharach y Hal David, aunque también se pueden escuchar citas de otros temas que no mencionaré. Una versión muy conocida la cantó la gran Aretha Franklin, aunque fue compuesta inicialmente para Dionne Warwick, que logró un gran éxito en 1968. Parte del disco está grabado en directo en el Festival de Jazz de Newport de 1968, aunque la primera cara del disco, y en concreto el tema que suena en JazzX5, está grabado en estudio en 1969. "I Say A Little Prayer" también se incluía también en la más que recomendable recopilación Does Your House Have Lyons?, que en mi caso fue un disco que perteneció al "Club de las mil pesetas". © Pachi Tapiz, 2021 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

ABOUT DIONNE'S 80th BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISERThis year of 2020 held many great moments for the legendary Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award winner Dionne Warwick - her appearance on Fox TV's The Masked Singer as well as dropping by the Verzus online special with Gladys Knight and Patti Labelle being two examples.On Saturday, Dec. 12 2020, at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. Pacific time, Ms. Warwick will be hosting a dual live online event as she celebrates the holiday season and a milestone - her 80th birthday. "For years, I'd hold a Christmas and birthday dinner at my home," she explained in a recent interview. "But since we can't do that this time around due to the pandemic, we'll be bringing the party to fans as a live stream event. I want to show folks that I'm still here and kicking!"On the heels of her album, The Voices of Christmas, Ms. Warwick will be joined by many guests who participated in the holiday recording - Johnny Mathis, the Oak Ridge Boys w/John Rich, Billy Ray Cyrus and Aloe Blacc, to name a few. In addition, entertainers and celebrities from around the world will send birthday and Christmas greetings.Portions of the proceeds from the live stream event will benefit Hunger Not Impossible - a text-based service that connects kids and families in need with prepaid, nutritious, to-go meals from nearby restaurants. "Every year, there are families that cannot afford to even buy basic foods for their children - and it's worse near the holiday season," Ms. Warwick stated, "With this event, we'll be able to help this wonderful organization with its efforts to feed folks."Hunger Not Impossible website - www.notimpossible.comFor information regarding Dionne Warwick's celebration, go to www.officialdionnewarwick.comDIONNE WARWICK BIO (FROM BIOGRAPHY.COM)Dionne Warwick sang in a gospel trio before recording her first hit songs, including "Walk on By" and "I Say a Little Prayer." After a lull in her career in the 1970s, her album Dionne (1979) sold a million copies. She went on to release the albums Heartbreaker (1982) and How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye? (1983). In 2012, Warwick celebrated her 50th anniversary in the music business with the album Now.Born Marie Dionne Warrick on December 12, 1940, in East Orange, New Jersey, Dionne Warwick has enjoyed a tremendously long career as a singer. She comes from a gospel musical background as the daughter of a record promoter and a gospel group manager and performer. As a teenager, Warwick started up her group, the Gospelaires, with her sister, Dee Dee, and aunt Cissy Houston.After finishing high school in 1959, Warwick pursued her passion at the Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. She also landed some work with her group singing backing vocals for recording sessions in New York City. During one session, Warwick met Burt Bacharach. Bacharach hired her to record demos featuring songs written by him and lyricist Hal David. A record executive liked Warwick's demo so much that Warwick got her own record deal.In 1962, Warwick released her first single, "Don't Make Me Over." It became a hit the following year. A typo on the record led to an accidental name. Instead of "Dionne Warrick," the label read "Dionne Warwick." She decided to keep the new moniker and went on to greater chart success. In 1964, Warwick had two Top 10 singles with "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "Walk On By"-both penned by Bacharach and David. "Walk On By" was also her first No. 1 R&B hit.: More hits, including many written by Bacharach and David, followed as the 1960s progressed. "Message to Michael" made the Top 10 in 1966, and her version of "I Say A Little Prayer" climbed as high as the No. 4 spot the following year. Warwick also found great success with her contributions to movie soundtracks. The theme song for the 1967 film Alfie, starring Michael Caine, was a solid success for her, as was "Valley of the Dolls," from the 1968 movie of the same name.In 1968, Warwick had other hits, including her trademark tune "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," which earned Warwick her first Grammy Award. That same year, Warwick made history as the first African-American woman to perform for Queen Elizabeth II in England.Warwick reached the top of the pop charts for the first time in 1974 with "Then Came You," which she recorded with the Spinners. But then Warwick suffered a career slump for several years. In 1979, she made a triumphant return to the charts with the ballad "I'll Never Love This Way Again." She also soon became a fixture on television with the music program Solid Gold, which she hosted in the early 1980s. Warwick also had several successful collaborative efforts. In 1982, she made the charts with "Friends In Love" with Johnny Mathis, and "Heart Breaker" with Barry Gibb.Around this time, Warwick scored one of the biggest hits of her career with "That's What Friends Are For." Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Gladys Knight also appeared on this 1985 No. 1 hit, which was an AIDS charity single written by Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. "Love Power," her duet with Jeffrey Osbourne two years later, marked her next major hit.Warwick encountered some challenges beginning in the 1990s. It was revealed in the late 1990s that she had a lien against her for unpaid taxes. In 2002, she was arrested in a Miami airport for possession of marijuana. She lost her sister, Dee Dee, in 2008, and her cousin, Whitney Houston, four years later. Despite these personal losses, Warwick continued to perform and to record new music.In 2012, Warwick celebrated her 50th year in music with the album Now. The recording features songs written by Bacharach and David. She once explained her longevity to Jet magazine, saying, "I really attribute it to remaining who I am and not jumping ship, being completely cognizant of what the people ... are accustomed to hearing from me."Warwick has two sons, David and Damon Elliot, from her marriage to actor and musician William David Elliot. She has worked with both of her sons on different projects over the years.For more interviews visit: www.iamrefocusedradio.comPodcast Sponsors:Rockafellas Barber Shop San AntonioRico Rodriguez (Owner)www.facebook.com/Rockafellas-Barber-Shop-105026620034718/?ref=page_internal1733 BabcockSan Antonio, Texas 78229Phone: (210) 782-5188The Dear Agency specializes in helping you understand your coverage BEFORE you need it!We offer all lines of personal and commercial insurance, including Auto, Home and Life.Contact Dawn Dear at 210-507-2169 and visit us at 7529 N Loop 1604 in Live Oak, TX or farmersagent.com/ddear

Story by: Gail NoblesPodcast vocals by: Gail NoblesActress: Gail NoblesActress: Yes, time is winding up now. (singing)........ Having a little fun remembering Aretha Franklin. "I Say A Little Prayer" is today's song. A song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick.You know Aretha Franklin was a singer, songwriter, actress, pianist, and civil rights activist. Franklin began her career as a child singing gospel at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father C.L. Franklin was a minister. Aretha is known for gospel mixing it with the mainstream of pop and R&B. She said, " Well it was just natural for me coming from the church."I have to agree with that. Though she sang gospel, I can tell no matter what kind of song she sang. When Aretha sang "I Say A Little Prayer", I knew it was a love song but hidden was the church, and Aretha sang like she was in church. If Aretha is in heaven, her soul is with the saints now. She left us on August 16, 2018. I can hear her in my mind how she would sing "I Say A Little Prayer" today. Actress: Don't you worry about me. Just keep on singing. (singing)Actress: It doesn't matter whether it's rock n roll or gospel. People need prayer. There is no category when I say ... (singing). We all need prayer!"I Say A Little Prayer" by Aretha Franklin was released in 1968. To hear the original song by Aretha, "I Say A Little Prayer", go to Spotify.com. I'm Gail Nobles on the CAT BEAR.

Just scraping in before the end of the month, the May '19 edition of UP! is a full on explosion of club anthems both past and present. The set starts off with 2 more progressive sounding tracks "Fire In My Soul" and "Lift Me Up". Zoe Badwi's club stomper has been given a 2019 update, this time by Sydney DJ Dom de Sousa. Dirty Disco are turning out some very impressive remixes lately and they don't disappoint on three classic hits "Who's Zoomin' Who", "Proud" and "The Rhythm Of The Night". All of which could have appeared on a Mardi Gras Anthems edition, but I didn't want to wait until March 2020 to use them. Joel Dickinson turns in an awesome mix of Ben Platt's "Bad Habit" and Madonna's "Medellin" gets the club treatment from Jasmin to close out the set. Summer approaches in the north and winter is coming in the south. May '19's UP! is perfect for both. Enjoy Anthony 1/ "FIRE IN MY SOUL" (Christian Poow Club Mix) - OLIVER HELDENS ft.

Host Deardra Shuler talks with singer Jonathan Butler who was born and raised in Cape Town during Apartheid. Jonathan Butler started singing and playing acoustic guitar as a child. Racial segregation and poverty during Apartheid has been the subject of many of his records. His first single earned a Sarie Award, South Africa's equivalent to the Grammy Awards. Butler  has achieved chart-topping success, Grammy ® nominations and other accolades for his recordings. His self-titled debut album put him on the map internationally and garnered two Grammy ® nominations, which include the R&B-pop vocal statement "Lies" and the poignant instrumental, "Going Home." Butler, a multi-talented musician, produces, arranges, and plays guitar, bass and keyboards. He has released several best-selling Gospel CDs, most notably "Gospel Goes Classical" and "Brand New Day.  He  has come full circle and back to his love of Bacharach with the music of his new album, Close To You. The 11-­song project features 10 Bacharach/David gemstones from the mid-­60s to early 70s (including vocal versions of “The Look Of Love,” “Walk On By,” “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” “This Guy’s In Love With You” the first single “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” plus instrumental versions of “Do You Know The Way To San Jose” and his new smooth jazz single “I Say A Little Prayer,” as well as one original composition, the ebulliently autobiographical “Cape Town.”

Another chance to listen to the singer-songwriter speaking to Kirsty Young in 2008. Her extraordinary voice has captivated us for decades and, as one half of the group Eurythmics and as a solo artist, she's sold tens of millions of records and won fistfuls of awards. As a teenager, her musical ability was her passport out of her home town of Aberdeen. At that point, a career as a flautist beckoned: but, after studying in London, she felt she could never make her mark as a classical musician. It was a chance encounter with aspiring pop-star Dave Stewart that set her on an entirely different path. For much of the 1980s, all her creative energy went into making music. But when her children were born, she says, her priorities shifted. Now she devotes much of her time and energy to supporting different humanitarian causes. She says: "I need to find meaning in my life to make me happy; and that's been an ongoing struggle."

The career of composer Burt Bacharach (The Look Of Love , Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Alfie , Magic Moments, I Say A Little Prayer) encompasses every decade of the last 50 years. He hits the 21st century with his newest DC, At This Time, and talks with us about these socially-conscious songs.
