Speaker 2: a moment, we'll be talking with a singer songwriter herself,
Speaker 2: a legend, Deon Warwick, will be joining us here on
Speaker 2: The Doctor Sky Show. But a little brief background of
Speaker 2: our special guests which we're honored to have. Deon Warwick scintillating,
Speaker 2: soothing and sensual, best described the familiar and legendary voice
Speaker 2: of five time Grammy Award winning music legend Eon Warwick,
Speaker 2: who has become a cornerstone of American pop music and culture.
Speaker 2: Warwick's career, which currently celebrates over fifty years, has established
Speaker 2: terrorists and an international music icon and concert act. Hears are
Speaker 2: in more than sixty charted hit songs and sold over
Speaker 2: one hundred million records and ladies and gentlemen, it's a
Speaker 2: distinct honor on the Doctor Sky Show. Welcome Miss Dion Warwick,
Speaker 2: Mss Warwick, thank you so much for being with us today.
Speaker 2: I just love your music and the whole career that
Speaker 2: we'll talk about here today. So thank you, so.
Speaker 1: Thank you very very much for inviting me.
Speaker 2: Well, it's my pleasure. And the ladies and gentlemen they're
Speaker 2: listening to our show, I'm sure they're going to enjoy
Speaker 2: this so much. You know, as I mentioned to you
Speaker 2: off the air we were talking, we're both native New Jerseyans.
Speaker 2: But describe how you got your saying career started. This
Speaker 2: is very interesting and I think it's something that the
Speaker 2: audience would like to know. Maybe they don't know about
Speaker 2: the early days of Dion Warwick. How did you get started?
Speaker 1: Well, that is sane, I'm love, he said, get around
Speaker 1: with me and saying, well, you know you came out
Speaker 1: sing I uh instead of my singing if you want
Speaker 1: to call it that, at the age of six wow
Speaker 1: and singing jobspel music. I'm from a gospel singing family,
Speaker 1: so that was the music of choice and a preference.
Speaker 1: So I am I guess you could call.
Speaker 2: That my beginning, absolutely, and what a beautiful beginning it is.
Speaker 2: As we talk with the legend your self, Miss Deon
Speaker 2: Warwick joining us here on the Doctor Sky Show. You know,
Speaker 2: it's so interesting as I listened to your music over
Speaker 2: the years, and really seriously so many fans of Dion
Speaker 2: Warwick around the world, as we're going to get into
Speaker 2: your new twenty twenty two tour that you're going to
Speaker 2: be doing, and proudly so I want to hear from
Speaker 2: you yourself. The relationship with Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
Speaker 2: I mean, just two amazing geniuses in the music world.
Speaker 2: And I think what Burt Baceruch described the relationship between
Speaker 2: the two of you and I quote, a musical relationship
Speaker 2: that's like a perfect marriage end of quote. Is that
Speaker 2: pretty much the way you would describe it to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the industry itself kind of gave us
Speaker 1: a crudeo. We were known as the Triangle marriage.
Speaker 3: That was.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. You know, it's so amazing just to
Speaker 2: sit and listen to your music. I've got a couple
Speaker 2: of CDs here at our station. We're going to be
Speaker 2: playing this music in your honor and obviously there's so
Speaker 2: much to play, it would go on for months and months.
Speaker 2: But this is so interesting to all the listeners out
Speaker 2: there as we talk about your career here, I know
Speaker 2: that this is something interesting also the listeners who probably
Speaker 2: want to know your relationship as you came to know
Speaker 2: Sydney Potier, who sadly passed away here. What an icon.
Speaker 2: But would you describe miss Warwick your encounter with him
Speaker 2: on fifty fourth and Broadway. I think that's something that's
Speaker 2: really a beautiful story. Tell us that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Well, it's true. I literally stopped and was coming out
Speaker 1: of recording studio. We had just finished his fashion and
Speaker 1: the studio we were in was on fifty fourth Street,
Speaker 1: and as we turned the corner coming down Broadway, I
Speaker 1: started sittingey Fortier and I left my group standing on
Speaker 1: the corner of fifty four Broadway, and I started following him.
Speaker 1: And I know they thought I'd lost my mind. But
Speaker 1: and on Broadway there are no shorefronts stories that you
Speaker 1: didn't see any fashion or shoes or things of that.
Speaker 1: Natured it's nothing but office buildings, and I guess so
Speaker 1: close to him, I literally jumped into it. He turned
Speaker 1: around and he looked at me, this little girl, you
Speaker 1: want my autograph? What do you want? I mean, I
Speaker 1: was just a club of no words. My mouth just
Speaker 1: stopped working. Yes, And from that moment is this right
Speaker 1: to his transition. Anytime I was in the same room
Speaker 1: or the same place with him, it's greeting to me.
Speaker 1: It was my hello, Dion, it was little girl, what
Speaker 1: do you want?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Wow? And that became what a lifelong relationship I mean describe.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so sad that we hear this news,
Speaker 2: just what within the last few weeks of his passing,
Speaker 2: But tell us a little bit more. I mean you
Speaker 2: you were very close to him all the way to
Speaker 2: the time that he passed on to the night into heaven.
Speaker 1: You know, although we didn't see each other every day,
Speaker 1: you know sometimes it was maybe eight months or years,
Speaker 1: but didn't alter the relationship. You know. It's like a
Speaker 1: good old friend that you have a conversation with and
Speaker 1: just don't speak for many many news and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're talking again to each other and
Speaker 1: the conversation continues. He is such a wonderful gentle man.
Speaker 1: He was the kind of a man that every little
Speaker 1: girl should have mastillations of trying to meet you know,
Speaker 1: ideal person. He was regal, he was kind, he was wonderful,
Speaker 1: just a wonderful person.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. You know, I see the world changing, and not
Speaker 2: necessarily for the better, Miss Warwick. And I tried to
Speaker 2: be an optimist here, but as you know, back in
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six on your album Here's Where There was Love,
Speaker 2: What the world needs now is love? Well, what a
Speaker 2: beautiful song and the different iterations that have come out
Speaker 2: from that song and sing with people like Phoebe Wonder
Speaker 2: and so many of the other great accents and performers
Speaker 2: that you know, talk to us about what we think
Speaker 2: or you think that is the importance of that song
Speaker 2: ever so much now in these times today, And I
Speaker 2: don't mean to be negative. I just know that things
Speaker 2: are not as happy as many people would like them.
Speaker 2: So the significance of that song to tell us in
Speaker 2: your own work.
Speaker 1: You know, our entire world, not only in the United States,
Speaker 1: but I'm concerned about the stage as well. Sure basically
Speaker 1: is in such a chaotic mode right now, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make rum a reason of it. It's very
Speaker 1: difficult to do. You know, I don't understand how people
Speaker 1: have lost the sense of being human being. You know,
Speaker 1: I was taught at a very early age and my grandfather,
Speaker 1: being a minister, that he said to me, and it's
Speaker 1: very tendrage. He said, beyond you know, we will all
Speaker 1: fit here on this earth to be of service to
Speaker 1: each other. And we are as much times as you
Speaker 1: take to say hello, how are you? Or can I
Speaker 1: help you? Let me carry that bag for you, let
Speaker 1: the open this door for you. Just the humanist equalities
Speaker 1: that we're all given at birth, and we have to
Speaker 1: get back to it, we really really do. And the
Speaker 1: words of world versus a new single, you know, a
Speaker 1: power in the name and its positive connotation and they
Speaker 1: get to just listen and then practice.
Speaker 2: Wow, powerful words in these times. And ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: as you've been listening, our very special guest legend herself,
Speaker 2: Deon Warwick, Miss Beyond Warwick, is joining us on the
Speaker 2: Doctor Sky Show. We only have a few more minutes
Speaker 2: with her today and I do appreciate this greatly, Miss Warwick.
Speaker 2: You know I wanted to talk about a little bit this.
Speaker 2: You received your first Grammy in nineteen sixty eight for
Speaker 2: the Megahead. You know, the way to San Jose and
Speaker 2: a second Grammy in nineteen seventy for the best selling
Speaker 2: album I'll Never Fall in Love Again. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: hard to ask a performer like yourself what's your favorite
Speaker 2: song and why? But I'm going to go and be
Speaker 2: a little bold and just ask. I mean, of all
Speaker 2: the songs that you've had that are so popular out there,
Speaker 2: what strikes a special note in your heart and why
Speaker 2: they all do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's basically the reason that I am every single
Speaker 1: one of them a special every single one, And so
Speaker 1: I can't I don't have a favorite child. I'm sure
Speaker 1: my music happens to be my children.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful and if I'm correct, one of your recent albums,
Speaker 2: She's Back, This was produced by your son on CD
Speaker 2: AM I righting that a subject direct?
Speaker 1: Absolutely right.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a beautiful relationship there. And in ending this
Speaker 2: conversation today, which I don't want to do but time,
Speaker 2: of course, is what rules and everything? I wanted to
Speaker 2: describe your upcoming what eight countries tour with some thirty
Speaker 2: five concerts this year twenty twenty two. And it starts
Speaker 2: off I see as we move into May Washington, DC,
Speaker 2: Atlantic City, and then the legend yourself, Miss Warwick, you
Speaker 2: go off to Germany, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. Wow, that's
Speaker 2: a beautiful world tour, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, and you know it's it's something that
Speaker 1: I try to do that is not every year. Every
Speaker 1: other year. I tried to not only go to Western Europe,
Speaker 1: go south from there as well. So it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's a joy to still be able to do it,
Speaker 1: first of all, sure and still have an audience that
Speaker 1: wants to hear me.
Speaker 2: Well, Miss Warwick, we're going to be playing in the
Speaker 2: background here the listeners will hear it. A tribute from
Speaker 2: Bert Macerroch to yourself as you sing some of the
Speaker 2: amazing songs that you have in your musical career, with
Speaker 2: of course lyricist Hell David responsible for a lot of
Speaker 2: the words.
Speaker 5: Do you know in anyfield where one sheeves a degree
Speaker 5: of success, I suppose an element of luck is usually involved.
Speaker 5: For me, I've always felt lucky to work the terrific
Speaker 5: lyricist mister hal David. I know I speak for how
Speaker 5: when I say one of the luckiest things to happen
Speaker 5: to the both of us was that opportunity to write
Speaker 5: songs for an extremely warm and talented lady Dion Warwick.
Speaker 5: She's too much.
Speaker 3: People have said, our musical relationship is like a perfect marriage.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's spilled on love and understanding her love of
