Con una carrera que abarca más de seis décadas, su voz melódica y su estilo inimitable la han convertido en una de las artistas más queridas y respetadas del siglo XX.
La música siempre estuvo presente en la vida de Dionne Warwick. Creció en una familia con un fuerte trasfondo musical; su madre, Lee Drinkard Warrick, era manager de la Drinkard Singers, un famoso grupo gospel. Su padre, Mancel Warrick, también tenía vínculos con el mundo del entretenimiento. Dionne comenzó su carrera musical cantando en coros de la iglesia, donde su talento vocal se destacó desde temprana edad.
