Dionne makes us over wonderfully well!

A few words,"Why isn't this released in the USA? I don't understand how this works or doesn't. Does Dionne not have a company in the USA? This album proves that Dionne can still sing at 60 yrs. old. This is a great album with some great remakes. I have the originals. They are great as well. I can't decide which I like better. My favorite cut on Dionne 2 is In Between the Heartaches. I had this on an old LP, the original and liked it then. I think Message to Michael is better than the original in some ways because of the instrumentation. Well, maybe not better but I'm partial to this one. Dionne has now done three different versions of Say a Little Prayer:The original, the one on Dionne Sings Dionne and now a new one. Again, I can't decide which one I like best of the three. I also liked the lady that sang it on My Best Friend's Wedding soundtrack but didn't like the fact she sings The momment me wake up. I guess she was trying to sound Jamaican or something. Anyway, like all the songs on here, Look of Love, but of course I like the original too. I guess I'm partial to Carpenters' Close to You but I do like this version very much. I have heard Dionne's original of this and this is definitely better. I think that I like the original version of You'll Never Get to Heaven. I'm not wild about the backup singers on this but it's still good singing by her. I think Dionne is the most underrated singer of our time. Why don't they ever do a behind the music on her on VH1 or do her on Biography? This is a wonderful album even though it costs more because it's an import. I think if it were released with a single it might have a hit for her and put her up there with Cher for some kind of musical record. Now, I wish she would remake Valley of the Dolls. She kind of remade Alfie on her live album, Hot Live and Otherwise. I love the old songs but also hope that Dionne does some new ones and that she keeps singing as long as she can. I guess she smokes and hope she will quit that. I met her doing a concert along with Burt Bacharach and it was one of the best concerts I'd ever been too. Buy this and you won't be dissappointed. One other song that is great is Don't Make Me Over. Glad she did make it over, it's great and the arrangement fits the changing times. Hope Dionne continues to sing forever. She is one of my favorites of all time. She has now been done on Biography. Now they need to put her on Behind the Music. I am still listening to this after I bought it a least a year ago. Why isn't it released here? It should be. I think there would be many hits from this album.

Dionne Sings Dionne II far surpasses the first.

This compilation of newly recorded gems by Ms. Warwick is a must have for die-hard fans and for new converts. The arrangements are beautiful and they allow Ms. Warwick's, now baritone, voice to still sound strong and full. "Then Came You" is especially catchy with Dionne doing all her own background work. Who needs those Spinners anyway! The best tracks are "In Between The Heartaches" and "The Look Of Love." Weakest: "What A Fool Believes." Sorry, Dionne, I've heard Michael McDonald sing it, and he's better.

Gem!!!!! Gem!!! Gem!!!!

Ms. Warwick is the orignal diva of all divas. This album is testimony that Dionne is still one of the most underrated singers of our time. The musical arrangements are just superb. Especially, In between the Heartaches, what a treasure. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album over and over. Must have for all of Warwick loyal fans like myself who fell in love with her voice ever since I first listen to her music. Keep making beautiful music Ms. Warwick.
