State Theatre New Jersey presents Dionne Warwick on November 13th

originally published: 11/05/2024

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents Dionne Warwick on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 7:30pm.  A recent inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dionne is a six-time Grammy® Award-winning music legend who has earned more than 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records.

Dionne was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1961 and went on to record 18 consecutive Top 100 singles (“Don’t Make Me Over,” Walk on By,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Heartbreaker,” “Déjà Vu,” among countless others). She received her first Grammy® in 1968 for “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”. Warwick became the first African American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance.  Known as the artist who “bridged the gap,” Warwick’s soulful blend of pop, gospel and R&B music transcended race, culture, and musical boundaries.

Always one to give back, Warwick has supported and campaigned for many causes and charities close to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children’s hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education for which she has been recognized and honored and has raised millions of dollars. In 1987, she was appointed the first United States Ambassador of Health by President Ronald Reagan and in 2002, served as Global Ambassador for Health and Ambassador for the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), and she continues to serve as Ambassador today. In recognition of her accomplishments and support of education, a New Jersey school was named in her honor, the Dionne Warwick Institute for Economics and Entrepreneurship. Warwick was also a key participating artist in the all-star charity single, “We Are the World,” and in 1984, performed at Live Aid.

Warwick has been honored by AMFAR, the Desert Aids Project, and Clive Davis at his pre-Grammy® party. She was also inducted into the Grammy® Museum where a special 50th Anniversary career exhibit was unveiled. Most recently, Warwick released a star-studded duets album entitled, Feels So Good, featuring collaborations with some of today’s greatest artists. Most recently, she was the recipient of the coveted and prestigious 2017 Marian Anderson Award for her career accomplishments and philanthropy. She was honored in a 2018 PBS Television Special, Then Came You, was named 2019 Ambassador to the Smithonian Institute’s Year in Music, and is a 2019 Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Warwick’s pride and joy are her two sons, singer/recording artist David Elliott and award-winning music producer Damon Elliott, and her family.
