Over an illustrious career that has spanned close to four decades, Dionne Warwick has established herself as an international household name. Her reputation as a hitmaker has been firmly etched into public consciousness, thanks to the nearly sixty records that have made the charts since "Don't Make Me Over" began its fateful climb up the charts in the early months of 1963. As a performer, she has charmed and entertained audiences quite literally on every continent, amassing a global audience from Rome to Rio, from London to Lagos and from Manhattan to Madrid. And while she has been the subject of countless cover stories and feature articles, there are a few important "firsts" that make Dionne Warwick a true pioneer. You may not know that as the recipient of her first of five Grammy Awards in 1968 (for the classics "Do You Know The Way To San Jose'", Dionne became the first black solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for "Best Contemporary Female Vocal Performance" a feat only previously accomplished by one of her own African-American musical "she-roes", the late Ella Fitzgerald. Other black female recording artists certainly racked up their share of crossover pop and R&B hits in the '60s but Dionne Warwick was the first such artist to rack up a dozen consecutive Top 100 hit singles from 1963-1966, preceding the mainstream success of some of her musical peers.By making her debut performance--and introduced by the legendary Marlene Dietrich--at The Olympia Theater in Paris in 1963, Dionne also became the first black female pop and soul singer to achieve international stardom. As she was establishing herself as a major force in American contemporary music, she was simultaneously winning over audiences throughout Europe through early hits like "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and "Walk On By". She was also the first black female performer to appear before the Queen of England at the Royal Command Performance in 1968 and since that time, Dionne has performed before numerous kings, queens, presidents and heads of state the world over.
