"What an excellent gospel record by Dionne Warwick.



She sounds right at home throughout this album and delivers some amazing operatics and hits some notes I'd never heard her hit before! I adore her version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and wish she included more verses, but the chosen parts of the song coupled with her simple yet captivating arrangement is just bliss on the ears.



A MUST for all Warwick fans as well as those who enjoy heartfelt gospel music."

Dionne Warwick:Early Gospel

"This collection of some of Dionne's earlier recordings meant to show her Religious Influences is a treasure, mainly because they are not a competitive recapitulation of the un-disputed Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson, (a very wise move to the credit of Dionne). Here Dionne chooses something very unique by her choice of background singers, more an accompaniment than a background choir which fits Dionne's selection of songs very well. The Effort Dionne puts forth here gives evidence of something very special to the heart of Dionne, not just a credit recording; something to boost Dionne's consumer base. They are a flavor all their own, not pressed or strained, or mis-fit, but something you can close you eyes to, and envision what heaven might be like, or at least a portion of it, lively and seemingly spontaneous honest praise to The Lord lifted straight from the heart. A very nice gift from Dionne, unfortunately for us, an all too rare offering. Enjoy this rare collection soon, and your spirit will be all the better for it."

Heaven opens when Dionne Sings Gospel, July 8, 2008

Folks, plain and simple...When Dionne and the Gospelaires sing Gospel even atheists turn to the Lord. Spellbinding vocal performances on every single track. Dionne at her very, very best. When a singer is singing the songs they personally love you can hear heaven in their voice. This album is a conduit between heaven and earth.. I own 63 DW albums and all available CDs. The Magic of Believing is my very favorite. Get it now!"
