Reviews Customer Reviews for Dionne Warwick Greatest Hits 1979 1990      Good quality but not her best      Rating:      The cd had about four songs that I liked, but the bulk of the songs were unknown to me.     Customer Reviews for Dionne Warwick Greatest Hits 1979 1990 Cd      A sampling of hits with a few non-album tracks added, but missing some key gems      Rating:      As mentioned by others, the title of this compilation CD is deceiving as only eight of the songs included were among her hits during the years specified. In fact, several were not even released as singles! The UK version of this collection had a slightly different tracklisting, which added a few more gems but omitted the gorgeous "No Night So Long" and the lovely "Friends In Love" with Johnny Mathis, and was as follows: 1. That's What Friends Are For 2. Heartbreaker 3. Love Power (duet with Jeffrey Osborne) 4. I'll Never Love This Way Again 5. How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye (duet with Luther Vandross) 6. Deja Vu 7. Walk Away 8. Take Good Care Of You And Me (duet with Jeffrey Osborne) 9. All The Love In The World 10. Run To Me (duet with Barry Manilow) 11. Yours 12. So Amazing 13. True Love 14. I Don't Need Another Love (duet with The Spinners) Both versions of this CD come up short in terms of tracks. As another review noted, "Take The Short Way Home" was an unfortunate oversight. Other tracks, like "Easy Love" and "We Never Said Goodbye" (from No Night So Long), the single version of "Got A Date" (LP version appeared on How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye), and "Finder Of Lost Loves" (from Finder of Lost Loves, issued in some territories as Without Your Love) would have resulted in a more well-rounded tracklisting. Although these songs had modest chart placings, they are memorable moments from her Arista years. Despite the shortcomings, this CD isn't a total waste. There are some classic vocal performances to be found here, like "Heartbreaker", the grammy-winning "I'll Never Love This Way Again", and the epic "No Night So Long", which would make this CD a decent introduction to Dionne for a more casual or new fan. However, long-time and passionate Dionne fans would be far better served with European 3CD set Dionne Warwick: Legends which includes just about all her singles from this period along with key album cuts and all five studio side tracks from her triumphant 1981 masterpiece Hot! Live And Otherwise. I still wish that concert had been filmed and the video released...the audio itself is energy-filled magic! Anyhow, hopefully one day BMG will reissue her Arista albums on CD, remastered with bonus tracks (bsides and single versions), even if only in limited-edition pressings like the Rhino Handmade reissues of her Scepter albums.
