Music legend Dionne Warwick isn’t impressed by much, but a recent tribute performance from Cynthia Erivo brought tears to the Grammy winner’s eyes.
Music legend and Twitter-X queen Dionne Warwick isn’t impressed by much (ahem, Elon Musk), but a recent tribute performance from Cynthia Erivo brought tears to the five-time Grammy winner’s eyes.
The 83-year-old singer was one of the five artists feted at the 46th Kennedy Center Honors earlier this month. During the ceremony, which aired Wednesday night on CBS, “Wicked” star Erivo celebrated Warwick’s lifetime achievement with a moving rendition of the singer’s “Alfie.”
In 1967, Warwick released her own take on the song, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Other singers who have performed the showstopper — written to promote the 1966 film of the same name — include Cilla Black, Cher and Barbra Streisand.
