Singer

In a career spanning 70 years, Dionne Warwick ranks among the biggest US hit-makers and is one of the most-charted vocalists of all time. Early hits such as 'Walk On By' (1964) and 'I Say a Little Prayer' (1967) cemented her reputation as one of the era's finest soul and R&B singers. She weathered a dry spell in the 1970s to bounce back with 1982's 'Heartbreaker'—her biggest career hit. Now in her eighties, Dionne Warwick is still performing and was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
