This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
What with Burt Bacharach’s big recent comeback and all, it didn’t exactly take a call to the Psychic Friends Network to predict this collection from singer Dionne Warwick.
After all, she voiced most of Burt and partner Hal David’s hits in the ’60s — including Anyone Who Had A Heart, Walk On By, I Say A Little Prayer, Do You Know The Way To San Jose, I’ll Never Fall In Love Again and more. All of which are included here, mastered from the original tapes to bring out every chirpy horn and sweet string. You also get later hits like Then Came You and Heartbreaker, but frankly, they seem like filler after the perfection of Burt and Hal. Sorry, Dionne, but I had to say it — that’s what friends are for.
