Album Description
As soulful as she is sophisticated in her distinctive vocal stylings, five-time GRAMMY -winning superstar Dionne Warwick is a globally beloved music icon and humanitarian. Warwick first climbed the charts in 1962 with her debut hit single, "Don't Make Me Over," penned by Burt Bacharach and Hal David-she emerged as the foremost interpreter of their compositions, and remains so. Over the course of an illustrious, hit-filled career that's endured more than 45 years and spans five decades, Warwick has also become a true contemporary music legend. With the inspirational WHY WE SING, she builds on her legacy with a new studio album, following up a duets collection and her first-ever holiday music release. It will, no doubt, also remind us why we love Dionne Warwick.

 Dionne's most disappointing recording... June 4, 2008

I am a big Dionne Warwick fan and looked very forward to this gospel set, yet I must admit that I consider it one of the worst and most disappointing recordings of her long and wonderful career. For starters, Dionne does not stand out on these recordings. She is over-shadowed and over-sung by loads of backing vocalists and guests. I want more of Dionne in these songs. Also for me, I do not think Dionne ever quite connects with many of the songs. They are a tad too sterile for me. I wanted to hear her really getting into the spirit, as if she were in the best church service ever, absolutely singing her heart out, which I know she can still do. I do not get that here. The recordings seem too produced and too professional to me. Yes, this album is good, but something is definiely missing, and for me, it is Dionne. Any guest vocalist could have sung her parts on this set. That should not be the case.

Fav tracks are: "I Lift My Heart", "Rise, Shine & Give God The Glory" and "The World Needs Jesus". Dionne is in GOOD voice on these tracks and it just takes me away when I listen to them on my MP3 player on the train going to work in NYC! (You need something uplifting when riding along with all the attitudes and bad energy..LOL)It's great to here David Elliott (her son) dueting and in the the backround vocals too :)
DIONNE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! Go 'head, lady! Keep on singin'!!!!
Rise, Shine and Give Dionne the Glory! April 14, 2008

Dionne Warwick is a true visionary when it comes to music. She can interpret lyrics like no other. Her ability to convey emotion through song is unparralled. In an age of shallow and uninspired music, we have this gem known as "Why We Sing". This wonderful return to greatness, for one of the most talented female vocalists of all time, is a joy to listen to. The music is soulful, uplifting and passionate. If you are a fan of great music or are just tired of the same old thing, do yourself a favor and discover one of the best albums Dionne Warwick has ever recorded.
UPLIFTING AND EXTREMELY GRAMMY-WORTHY April 14, 2008

After too many remake albums of her hits, along comes something so wonderfully fresh from Dionne Warwick. Fans will not be diappointed. Those who love gospel and inspirational music will share this recording with their loved ones and friends. I can hear it in fellowship halls in many a church. I wish this album was out when my 27 year old niece passed away this January. I definitely could have used it then. However, I have it now, and it is an utmost joy.
It is so great that Dionne is also singing with sister, Dee Dee on the title track, bringing her out of a long absence from the music scene. It is one of the highlights of the album.
Not one song diappoints. It covers a lot of ground from the traditional gospel sound to contemporary christian balladry. All with the same purpose. To uplift and to sing praise. Dionne has certainly come home after 40 years from her last gospel effort. I can see another Grammy on her trophy shelf for a Traditional Gospel Album. She is doing what she loves most, and it can be heard. The sound is sweet. Revel in it.
