Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Charts. She is one of the most-charted female vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Billboard Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998, and 80 singles making all Billboard charts combined.

Dionne has always been so tacky by shitting on material she consented to record, usually not long after she release the damn song(s) (see also: "Heartbreaker").

Dionne said that when she worked with Barry Gibb on the Heartbreaker album she didn't want it to be "Guilty 2." And it's was like "bitch, why wouldn't you want a Guilty 2?" Guilty was a huge smash hit, you should be so lucky.

R27...Yes, I'm mistaken on who the writers & producers of this were. However, on page 176 of her autobiography Dionne writes that she hated this project, but agreed to it because Clive Davis thought it was a good idea. She also writes "The one song that I still feel uncomfortable even mentioning is titled 'Where My Lips Have Been'." I don't think Dionne had any affection for this song or this album.

I vaguely remember the controversy over Faith being considered R&B, since it was usually a category dominated by black artists. I think retroactively it seems strange, but at the time, I think George Michael had the vocal talent (and tracks) to blur the lines a bit. Today I think most would consider Faith strictly a pop album. At least I do. Perhaps others have more information.

by Anonymousreply 78September 27, 2020 12:27 AM

"Father Figure", "One More Try" and "Monkey" all charted within the R&B Top Ten. Strictly pop?

by Anonymousreply 79September 27, 2020 12:30 AM

The reference wasn’t how they charted at the time, but rather whether they’d be widely considered R&B today. Googling tracks from Faith on R&B charts at the time doesn’t make you some music insider. Stop trolling.

Careless Whisper was also a favorite on black radio at the time, too. So it's funny Dionne would complain about George Michael winning that award when he had success on the R&B charts throughout the 80s before Faith.

He was also part of the Motown Returns to the Apollo TV special and did a duet with Smokey Robinson singing Careless Whisper.

I had one thing against George Michael and it wasn't his weight, his stank or his taste in where to meet new friends.

He bogarted.

Everything.

Mortal sin. So fuck him. Yeah, his sound was itchy in a whitish Greekish way. But girlfriend was about as R&B as Diane was. Please.

But I did get a big gold ring off him once when he was passed out. You know how they like those big gold rings.

And, yeah, Smokey fucked up that duet. Poor old thing has been "forgetful" for about 30 years. People in the biz have called him "Smoked" for about that long. Of course I always loved him just for his name. Plus in theory it would have been nice to have a light soprano like him to highlight my beautiful and peerless contralto-matzo-soprano tones.

And, yes. Listen to R87. I am STILL raking in the bread on that sack of sap. Every time a bridge collapses, a dam breaks or the ass end of Malibu burns they start paying up to play it. Yes, Baby. THAT'S what friends are for!

Now fuck off. I am midway through volume nine of my autobiographical diva memoirs and it's getting good. I'm up to 1962 and the publisher has only given me until 2024 to get it done.

I think as people age, they become more like their true selves. Some people work on themselves and try to be better, kinder people, while others kind of just stay the same, or just become more rotten and unlikeable. I think Dionne falls in the latter category. She lashes out and is hypercritical of others in the industry, and there seems to be this hardness and anger that doesn’t allow anyone to honor her career. Madonna is like that —still writhing around on Instagram, trying to be a 25 year old diva, instead of aging gracefully and supporting/mentoring younger artists who are achieving the success she did.

I am gratified by the generous anal-yses and bullshit guesses about my private life and my persona.

I have no care or interest in bitterness except as a flavor enhancer in my caipirinhas. My Lord knows the fucking purity of my heart. And no one can deliver the beautiful tones I do with a fouled spirit. I'm not an angel, but nearer my God to Thee than these stupid, jealous trash mouths.

Dear dead and rotted-to-her-glory Aretha was not pure in the way my spirit is. She had nasty guilt, and she knew how she never atoned. It hurt her. This legs were as needily open for business as her mouth was open for Lee's Chicken. Not that that's nasty. No. But it's WHO got by those heavy asbestos curtains of hers. That's all I'm saying. Nope. No more. But you can find the stories. Yes you can. But I'm not dirtying myself them. Not on Sunday.

With that, I grace you with my gift. HIS gift. Believe. And buy HIS servants records, 8Tracks, cassettes, cds and online music. God wants you to. Don't risk a fucking smiting.

Miss Baker, you bloated cockroach, enough.

Ain't it enough that I got Damont into the WH as a "Temporary Buttler. That's the title of the people who change The Donald's Dee-Pends and polish the golden throne and hose down the bathroom after him. Once I found out that Damont was an "Asymptomatic Super Spreader" I sent his ass forth to do some good for the country. Damont also has pitched in with the press office cleaning and serving drinks at the Krazy Katholic Kourt Kunt soiree (That bitch is so bad she gets FOUR K's.) and even working with Chris "D'Orka" Christie to get gravy off his tie. And shirt. And jacket. And trousers. And socks. And hair.

COUNTDOWN!

And my plan is working perfectly. I am praying The Donald makes it to the dee-bate so the steroids are at maximum hallucination strength.

So you're fucking welcome. And, Anita, God may forgive you for those last five releases you crapped out before your (were) ree-tired, but my ears won't. With those bat ears you've got flapping on either side of your swelled-up head, it's a wonder you didn't lose your mind every time you opened your mouth.

I did not give a fux and Re's fax. Once that cancer metastasized into her fat I knew that meant there was no hope. Since that meant it had gotten to the 80% of her body that was fat. It was sad. I wept for her disgrace but I did get two of those pairs of shoes they squeezed onto her hooves at the never-ending funeral. Sure, I had to pay to get the stains out, but they look better on me than on her old carcass. Alive or dead.

CBD? Please. I have a pot plantation 40 miles west of Rio that is growing 43 varieties of the best gange on the planet. Sure I lose a lot of workers to snakes and cats and something I don't know what to call it - zombie croc? - but I get what's left of them buried. It's win-win. Ka-Ching. Look for my new magazine, "Dee-Weed - A Dionne Living Magazine," which is the start of my new empire.

Her date was the late Brian Linehan. Trust me, I have much better thighs. She also smiled at me several times and we talked about how beautiful certain moments were.

"I commend her for never getting a nose job like most would have, to change that enormously hideous nostriled honker into a regular nose."

The nostrils were the key ingredient to her unique singing style. Since she possessed no power or range, she set herself apart by bleating like a bored farm animal while expelling massive amounts of air through those two hideous, deformed holes in her face. It gave her voice a breathy quality that some people apparently found appealing in the mid-to-late 20th century.

Also, I have it on VERY good authority that Miss Warwick has put those massive nostrils to use in rather, um, interesting and unconventional ways. Especially as she as aged, and certain other orifices have, shall we say, lost their elasticity. Not unlike her vocal cords.
