Before she became one of the biggest-selling female solo artists of the 20th century, Dionne Warwick was a teenaged piano major who earned tuition money as a background singer on records by The Drifters, Dinah Washington, Brook Benton, Solomon Burke and other vocal greats.
“Doing sessions was helping me get through college and things were working out the way I wanted. But because I had a hit record, well, once you do, you have no choice but to follow it up. And that’s what I did.” During their first decade as a team, Warwick made more than 30 hit singles, all by Bacharach and David . Their classics included “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” and “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” which earned Warwick her first Grammy Award in 1967.
