Dionne Warwick - Finder Of Lost Loves 2 x CD, Album, Deluxe Edition, Review: Finding Dionne!!! - I had this 1985 album on cassette and had simply played it one time too many. I was so glad to see this out on CD and depsite the price, it is well worth it because every song on here is a winner!! It opens with "No One In The World," which was released shortly before Anita Baker's version. Dionne's however, held it's own and remains one of the best covers of the song to date. Track # 2 "Without Your Love," has a great feel to it with nice harmony. It's the type of song you like to listen to while driving along the Paciffic Coast Highway in a convertible. The third track, one of my favorites, is a duet with Barry Manilow called "Run To Me,", which is simply brilliant in every sense of the word. Dionne's voice is powerful, melodic and blends perfectly with Barry's. Tune # 4 "Finders of Lost Loves" was used for the televsion show with the same name by Aaron Spelling, and was#6 and #2 on the Billboard Charts for R&B and Pop respectively. This duet between Dionne and newcomer (at the time) Glen Jones was phenomenal. The song is packed with raw emotion and really good singing, with each singer complementing the other. Track #5 "Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore" is another favorite of mine. Dionne really belts this song out with such vocal dynamics, letting you know in no uncertain terms that you are listening to an accomplished vocalist. "It's You" is a Stevie Wonder song that has Stevie's trademark of great harmony, wonderful words and terrific arrangement. There's no going wrong with this tune. Track # 7 "It's Love" is another work of art that clearly depicts a woman walking into a room and cathing everyone's eye as she falls in love with that special guy as soon as she sees him; great use of words and imagery. "Bedroom Eyes" gives us chance to slow things down a little, but this Barry Manilow song is no sleeper and allows Dionne to provide us with her sultry melodic tones along with Barry Manilow's timeless orchestration. Track # 9 "Weakness," is another duet with Stevie Wonder from the motion picture "The Woman in Red," which was a big hit in the 80's. The final song on this album "You Made Me Want To Love Again," is also a favorite of mine. Dionne sings this song like there is no tomorrow. Her impeccable range and her ability to change dynamics mid song is excpetional. There is no better way to close an album but on a high note, and Dionne does not fail in this attempt. Dionne recorded a lot of great songs with Arista and this album is a oerfect example of ture musicianship. Every Dionne Warwick fan should have this album in their collection. I also recommend the album "Legends which is a 3 cd collection of Dionnes work from the 80's to 90's. So what are you waiting for? Order these CDs without question, you won't regret it! Review: "Finder Of Lost Loves" will find you-Salsoul Connection Ol' Skool Rarities! - An extremely rare, sought-after classic, this surpasses Dionne Warwick's first for Arista Records, which was produced by Barry Manilow. "No One In The World", done later by Anita Baker for her album "Rapture" (Elektra) launches the album off perfectly (Russell Thompkins Jr., formerly of The Stylistics also recorded this song for his CD "A Matter Of Style). "Without Your Love" is not something all or any of us should ever be without. "Run To Me", penned by the Bee Gees (Maurice Gibb would die from cancer. Robin Gibb would lose his life several years later) is a duet with Barry Manilow, longtime friend and colleague. "Finder Of Lost Loves", theme from the TV show of the same title which starred Tony Franciosa (TV's Matt Helm) and Deborah Adair, which lasted, sadly, only one season, is a tremendous duet with Glenn Jones ( and the most outstanding track on this album). No wonder this one is rare! Warwick sings of regret saying "Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore". With Grammy winner and Motown superstar Stevie Wonder is " It's You", penned by him. "It's Love", you already know. "Bedroom Eyes" and "Weakness" (again, with Stevie Wonder) are self explanatory for your dim all the lights moments. "You Made Me Want To Love Again" is a victory song for those of us who lose faith in love, unless it comes again. With Dionnè Warwick, it should not be a problem. (Arista/BMG)

I really enjoyed listening to this album of outtakes and left over ...
I really enjoyed listening to this album of outtakes and left over tracks. The best cut is Broken Bottles. This should have be put out as a single...it would have been a hit. For those who love Dionne Warwick, you need this album. While this album was not a hit, I think it was one of her best albums. You made me want to love again is a gem. Run to you is fabulous and was a minor hit in early 1985. If Arista had promoted this album who knows what could have been. With out your love is a great song and could have been a hit. The weakest song on the album is the title track. I never cared for it then and I still don't care for it know. The album includes the title track song with Luther Vandross. Either way, the song does do anything for me. The two songs with Stevie Wonder are great and again could have been hits. Overall, a great album and I am happy to see it on CD and with expanded tracks. I heard that the Heartbreaker album is being released as an expanded album...I can not wait.

Płyta wygląda jak zwykły CDR. Dodatkowo przerwy sa w trakcie utworu, materiał jest źle pocięty i przygotowany.

This album is a MUST and certainly for admirers of the songstress Dionne Warwick and Aunt of the late Whitney Houston. This album not a best seller like 'Heartbreaaker' but in my opinion one that ought to have been as a musical delight with great duets 'Run To Me' with Barry Manilow and 'It's You' with Stevie Wonder as well as solo songs which illustrate the amazing vocal talent of the lady with an inimitable vocal! A favourite of mine being the uptempo song 'It's Love' but every song a delight and winner in my eyes! Treat yourselves to this musical gem and one guarantee if you appreciate a singer of songs; you'll not be disappointed you did!
