Descripción:Written in 1962 by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, "Make It Easy On Yourself" was recorded originally as a demo by Dionne Warwick and intended to be her first single release. However, Bacharach gave the tune to Jerry Butler whose version was a #20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. Dionne was very angry and hurled the epithet, "don't make me over, man" which is street slang for "don't lie to me". The duo decided to make Warwick's epithet into a song that was entirely hers called "Don't Make Me Over". Warwick's original demo version of "Make It Easy On Yourself" was included in her first LP Presenting Dionne Warwick.
Warwick, the original intended recipient of the song, sang the tune in concert at the Garden State Arts Center in June 1970. The stunning live version of "Make It Easy On Yourself" was released as a single in September 1970, and Warwick finally had her own hit with it, peaking at #25 on the CashBox Top 100, #27 on the Record World Top 40 and reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100, #26 on the Billboard R&B Chart, and #2 on the Billboard AC chart in the US and #24 in Canada. In 2006 Rhino Records reissued on CD the 1970 album "Very Dionne" which included Dionne's live version. Rhino also released on the "Very Dionne" reissue hereto unknown additional tracks found in the Warner vaults, including a duet of the tune with BJ Thomas recorded in December 1969, along with two other tunes. Also discovered in the Warner vaults was an empty tape box labeled with notations that Dionne Warwick first recorded Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Everybodys Out of Town" in the same session in December 1969. BJ Thomas recorded the tune a month later as his followup to Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. The master tape containing Dionne's original version of "Everybody's Out of Town" has never been found.

The tunes featured in this video are Do You Know the Way to San Jose, Walk On By and Paper Mache. Make It Easy On Yourself, featured in another video, was written in 1962 by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and was recorded originally as a demo record by Dionne and intended to be her first single release. However, Bacharach gave the tune to Jerry Butler whose version was a #20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. Dionne was very angry and felt Bacharach had betrayed her and hurled the epithet, "don't make me over, man" which is street slang for "don't lie to me". The duo decided to make Warwick's epithet into a song that was entirely hers called "Don't Make Me Over". Warwick's original demo version of "Make It Easy On Yourself" was included in her first LP Presenting Dionne Warwick. Warwick, the original intended recipient of the song, sang the stunning live version of "Make It Easy On Yourself" which was released as a single in September 1970. Dionne finally had her hit with the tune, peaking at #25 on the CashBox Top 100 and reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100, #26 on the Billboard R&B Chart, and #2 on the Billboard AC chart in the US and #24 in Canada.

Descripción:Dionne Warwick's Paper Mache was pulled from her Grammy winning LP I'll Never Fall In Love Again and released as a single in April 1970. The tune hit #31 on the Cash Box Top 40, #33 on the Record World Top 40 and bubbled under the Billboard Top 40 at #42 and hit the #6 position on the Billboard AC chart. Released at the beginning of the "me decade" this indictment of consumerism boasts some of Hal David's wittest and most wry lyrics. Another underappreciated gem by Bacharach/ David in Dionne's catalog.

Descripción: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 question 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 then 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."
