Quincy Jones: The Cinema Of Quincy Jones 1964-1970 (Remastered) 6CDs-New $78.99Description Every artist, even great ones, experiences peaks and valleys. When Dionne Warwick signed with Arista Records in 1979, she had nothing to prove, but her glory also seemed like a thing of the past. She was already a part of pop history with an unparalleled string of hits penned by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. In fact, when she signed with Warner Brothers in 1971, the plan was that history would continue and she would still be singing hits by the songwriter team that had made her famous. However, it didn’t turn out that way. Bacharach and David broke up and Warwick found herself in a dry spell. She had to prove that she could manage on her own and she needed someone to believe in her. Video: Dionne Warwick – HEARTBREAKER (Barry Gibb) 1982 Limited 12 CD box set.
