曾榮獲5次葛萊美的肯定,也是第一個同時拿下葛萊美最佳流行女歌手與R&B歌手的黑人女歌手。
40年代生於紐澤西的Dionne Warwick狄昂華薇克,6歲開始學音樂,並擔任家族福音歌唱隊的成員,後來在大學裡接受正統的音樂訓練,隨後從紐澤西鄉下遠赴紐約發展,擔任歌手與樂 團的合音工作,在因緣際會下被當時已名噪一時的作曲/編曲/製作人的勃特貝克瑞克(Burt Bacharach)發堀,且著手為她寫下首支個人Top 21單曲Don't Make Me Over,狄昂自信中帶著沮喪的唱法,成功地詮釋歌詞意境,引起樂迷共鳴,之後,她便與勃特貝克瑞克(曲)、賀爾大衛 (Hal David,詞)結成堅強的創作成/演唱三人組,特別自六○ -八○年代間,締造了許多令人百聽不厭的排行暢銷曲,因此若是樂迷只知道她是現代節奏藍調天后惠妮休斯頓的阿姨,曾經1986年與艾爾頓強、史提夫汪達為 籌措愛滋病基金所合唱的排行Top 10單曲That's What Friends Are For等事蹟是絕對不夠的,因為她在此之前的成就,已經足以和披頭四、海灘男孩 (Beach Boys)以及摩城唱片(Motown)的許多超級巨星相提並論。

This Girl Is In Love With You
Artist: Dionne Warwick
You see this girl, this girl's in love with you
Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell it know each other very well
How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause
I've heard some talk they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll just die
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll just die
