- Summary
- Singer Dionne Warwick was born in East Orange, New Jersey, on December 12, 1940. The oldest of three siblings, Warwick was raised in a deeply religious and musical family. At fourteen, Warwick helped form The Gospelaires. In 1959, Warwick received a music scholarship to the University of Hartford. Warwick signed a recording contract in 1962 and her first single, Don't Make Me Over, was a hit, attracting both R&B and pop audiences. From 1963 to 1966, Warwick achieved unprecedented success by becoming the first crossover artist to have a dozen consecutive Top 100 hits. Known for her partnership with songwriters, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, she became the first African American solo female artist to receive a Grammy for Do You Know the Way to San Jose in 1968. By 1970, she had recorded thirty hit singles, close to twenty best-selling albums and received a second Grammy for the album, I'll Never Fall In Love Again.
