Through out the world of soul and blues, people are hearing of the death of Dee De Warwick. This beautiful, sensual voiced 
woman had fans wrapped around her finger in the 60’s with “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me,” and “You‘re No Good.” With Warwick’s strong impression in the world of music, R&B never was the same.
Having deep family ties with music, Warwick, the niece of gospel singer Cissy Houston, was born with soul in her blood. Having been a cousin to Whitney Houston and the sister of Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick began singing in the 1950’s with her sister as the Gospelaires and along side the Drinkard Singers, a gospel group comprised of Warwick’s aunts and uncles. Warwick was a two time Grammy nominated artist and had sang backup for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett prior to a solo career. She had performed backup vocals on Dionne’s one-woman biographical show “My Music & Me,” and Dionne’s gospel album “Why We Sing.” Dionne was with her sister when she passed in a nursing home in Essex County, New Jersey. Warwick was in failing health over the recent months, passing away at the age of 63.
