KENNEDY CENTER HONORS for the legendary, iconic and beautiful MS. DIONNE WARWICK!

[YourExcellency]

Dionne is American royalty, music royalty. When you watch her performances from the 60s and 70s, it is phenomenal. She is American music.

Dionne Warwick is an American Treasure. Her voice and style are legendary. Her philanthropy unmatched.

[Justaskkjames]

Ladies and gentlemen, we're looking at a living legend. Dionne deserves all her flowers now! Dionne was breaking barriers and knocking down doors when black folks were only good enough to come through the back door.

They should make a movie about her life and times. The greatest of all times.

She a gorgeous woman even as she ages ❤

Just thrilled that I got to see and hear this brilliant legend: best musical catalog of all time and the most difficult songs to sing. I’d say most underrated singer, but she was alway regarded as a one of a king genius : her phrasing, tone, range, the way she effortlessly transitioned through chest, head, ect while always keeping the emotions of the song first and foremost. She could sing anything. Jennifer, great interview. Respectful but probing. You don’t make a national treasure uncomfortable. Bravo, great job! Ken, Florida

When she went back to her East Orange roots, I about fell out! 😂😂😂😂

To those southerners, she was like “y’all better recognize!” 😂

I brought "Thats What Friends are For" on a 45 record and gave it to my friend on Christmas

Dione Warrick is a icon....she and whitney Houston are cousins and the duet together is special...could never be another icon like Dione or Whitney....

[kennethmckee]

One more thing: I was little white boy in 1969’ and to this day I remember walking the aisles of Sears and her Albums always faced the main aisle because I just assumed“ we’ll she’s the most beautiful woman in the world, I was in awe of her beauty and then I found out she sang. Wow, I was a happy little boy in Willingboro N. J. Love ya, you still are magnificent! K.m Florida
