Dionne Warwick, nacida como Marie Dionne Warrick el 12 de diciembre de 1940 en East Orange, Nueva Jersey, ha dejado una huella imborrable en la historia de la música. 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.
A finales de los años 50, Warwick asistió a la Universidad de Hartford en Connecticut, donde estudió música. Durante ese tiempo, formó parte del grupo The Gospelaires, con quienes realizó giras y grabaciones. Su gran oportunidad llegó cuando fue descubierta por el compositor Burt Bacharach y el letrista Hal David. Este encuentro marcó el inicio de una fructífera colaboración que redefiniría su carrera.
El trío Bacharach-David-Warwick lanzó una serie de éxitos que catapultaron a Dionne Warwick a la fama internacional. Canciones icónicas como "Walk On By", "I Say a Little Prayer" y "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" no solo dominaron las listas de éxitos,

Wherever, wherever boy I'll do it
Yes I will
Forever and ever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you through it
I've got to keep you pleased in every way I can
Gonna give you all of me as much as you can stand
Make love to you right now, that's all I want to do
