I'd really like to get all of the Dionne Warwick LPs he produced. Does anyone have any suggestions for which of those are the best ones to get first (I plan on getting all of them eventually)?
Most of the albums were released as twofers on CD. I would just get them all.
These are the titles:
Presenting Dionne Warwick/Anyone Who Had a Heart (Sequel, 1995)
Make Way For/The Sensitive Sound Of Dionne Warwick (Sequel, 1995)
Here I Am/Here Where There Is Love (Sequel, 1995)
Promises, Promises/I'll Never Fall In Love Again (Rhino Handmade, 2004)
The Windows Of The World / Valley Of The Dolls (Rhino Handmade, 2004)
Very Dionne (Rhino Handmade, 2004)
My favorite of these albums is "Make Way For Dionne Warwick":
1. A House Is Not a Home (Bacharach, David)
2. People (Merrill, Styne)
3. (They Long to Be) Close to You (Bacharach, David)
4. The Last One to Be Loved (Bacharach, David)
5. Land of Make Believe (Bacharach, David)
6. Reach Out for Me (Bacharach, David)
7. (You'll Never Get to Heaven) If You Break My Heart (Bacharach, David )
8. Walk on By (Bacharach, David)
9. Wishin' and Hopin' (Bacharach, David)
10. I Smiled Yesterday (Bacharach, David)
11. Get Rid of Him (Greenfield, Miller)
12. Make the Night a Little Longer (Goffin, King)
There are more than a dozen of absolutely brilliant songs that are written, arranged and conducted by Burt Bacharach, but not included on the Burt Bacharach Look Of Love box set, e.g.
The Beginning Of Loneliness, Another Night (from The Windows Of The World)
Let Me Be Lonely, Where Would I Go (from The Valley Of The Dolls)
Who Is Gonna Love Me, Whoever You Are I Love You (from Promises Promises)
The Wine Is Young, Knowing When To Leave, Let Me Go To Him (from I'll Never Fall in Love Again)
The Green Grass Starts To Grow, Walk The Way You Talk (from Very Dionne)
Who Gets The Guy (single, included as a bonus track on the Rhino Handmade Very Dionne)
