My Life As I See It: An Autobiography

Dionne Warwick made her singing debut in church at the request of her grandfather, the Reverend Elzae Warrick, when she was six years old. No one knew then that she would become an international music legend.Dionne released the first of more than fifty-six charted hits in 1962 with Don’t Make Me Over, followed by Anyone Who Had a Heart,
Walk On By,
I Say a Little Prayer,
Alfie, and A House Is Not a Home, to name a few. She received her first Grammy in 1968 for Do You Know the Way to San Jose and later recorded the classic hit That’s What Friends Are For. She was considered the voice of Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions, and the rest is here, in her first autobiography. Dionne tells the stories of her life from her childhood in East Orange, New Jersey, in a two-family home with her parents, brother, and sister, to now, as she celebrates her fiftieth year in show business.
