Video Description:
Dionne Warwick's I'll Never Fall In Love Again written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David was released in December 1969 and raced into the Billboard and Cashbox Top 10 in January 1970, peaking at # 6. The tune hit #1 on the Billboard AC charts, # 3 on the Canadian Chart and crossed over into the Top 20 R &B Chart and became another international million seller for Warwick. The tune was also featured in Dionne's album of the same name which won the Grammy Award for 1970 for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Female at the nationally televised NARAS Grammy Awards ceremony held in February 1971. Warwick was so hot on the charts that she was also named the #1 Female Vocalist-Albums and Singles-1970 by the influential Cashbox Magazine for the second year in a row; Warwick would win that honor for a third consecutive year for 1971. Warwick also earned #1 honors from industry's The National Association of Record Merchandisers (NARM) for the years 1964, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971. The tune was written for the Bacharach/David Broadway Musical Promises, Promises. Writes Nick Tosches, the renowned writer, music journalist, novelist, biographer and poet in the January 7, 1972 issue of the rock magazine FUSION; "The best Warwick album, the one that should be copped as an introductory taste of the artist in questio
n is I'll Never Fall In Love Again (along with Golden Hits Part 1 and Part 2), which not only has the great title tune of the same name but also the great "The Wine Is Young," which trucks such mustard as The wine is young/our dreams are old/and it hurts me more than I can bear/to go on. This stuff is nifty; getting into Dionne Warwick is like finding buried treasure. The Bacharach/David repertoire which milady chooses to sing is so fascinatingly cynical / fatalistic / stoical / emotional / happy, simultaneously! It's pure emotion. There is a whole lot more to emotion than some rock punk bursting his dexedrine-staved blood vessels by screaming "Baby I need you baby" into a microphone. Dionne Warwick is not a rock and roll singer. She's not a jazz singer either. Rhythm and blues? Nope. A pop singer? No way. Did you ever tongue-kiss with someone who barfed a Singapore Sling bolus into your mouth, and then four years later you're with someone else and you feel good and you realize how beautiful it all was and th
en it's all melancholy/happiness, sort of? That's the kind of singer Dionne Warwick is. She's beautiful. Dionne, paired with Bacharach's string/horn/reed arrangements, comes up as a lyric mezzo-sopranoid par-excellence, melodious/expressiveness-wise. If you've never gotten into her, you ought to. Get hep to Dionne Warwick. For your own sake."
