Born in 1940, Dionne Warwick began singing at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey as a child. By the 1950s, when she was still a teenager, she joined the gospel singing group The Drinkard Singers and in the early 1960s the spin-off group The Sweet Inspirations. During that time, she was discovered by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David, who helped sign her to Scepter Records. In 1962, she released her debut single "Don't Make Me Over" with her debut album "Presenting Dionne Warwick" dropping in 1963. Over the next six decades, Warwick produced 69 top 100 singles on the Billboard charts and sold well over 100 million records. On January 1, 2023, she was featured in the CNN feature film "Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over," fittingly named after her debut single.
