She was brilliant.W is for Dionne Warwick
My, she just had the sweetest voice.
I think she's still aliveShe was brilliant.
I was only meaning that in her day as a major musical force she was wonderful. Her success must be shared with Hal David and Burt Bacharach, though.I think she's still alive
Go ahead and laugh......hell, I did. It's funny.
Obviously, I'm not a Robby Benson fan.....at least not on the same level as DJ. I just hope she doesn't beat me too badly......I have a second interview this evening, and have to look pretty.
Who???I was only meaning that in her day as a major musical force she was wonderful. Her success must be shared with Hal David and Burt Bacharach, though.

Wow.....I only recognize about two of these.Burt Freeman Bacharach (/ˈbækəræk/ bak-ə-rak; born May 12, 1928) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, record producer and pianist.

Most of their hits were written specifically for and performed by Dionne Warwick, but early on they worked with Gene Pitney and Gene McDaniels. Following the initial success of these collaborations, Bacharach went on to write hits for The Carpenters, Dusty Springfield, Bobbie Gentry, Jackie DeShannon, Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, B.J. Thomas and others.
Warwick's songs were some of my favorite pre-rock songs growing up.Wow.....I only recognize about two of these.
Unless......If Bobbie Gentry sang about some poor fool hurling himself off the Tallahatchie Bridge, then I recognize three.
Thanks for the info, Frank!

...nah, she's a sweet and purty gal...just a little depplapidated.....Good luck, Sunny-but I don't think you'll need it. You got this!
Oh man! But that was so sweet of you to check into that -- smooches to you!Update for Dana Jean
I gave you wrong information, and must apologize.
Apparently, Robby Benson moved from Boone to Asheville, NC in 2007. I must have had my head under a rock for the last 7 years, because I didn't know he had moved. He lived here while teaching at ASU. I never knew he had moved.....I found this out when I asked my former Sunday school student if he could get me an autographed photo for you.....they were neighbors. I wondered why I hadn't seen them shopping at Earthfare lately...... Anyway, sorry for the mixed up info, and for the havok it wreaked with your hormones.
She is a woman!!Oh man! But that was so sweet of you to check into that -- smooches to you!
