She’s also in the Grammy Museum where a 50th anniversary career exhibit was unveiled. Now, the legendary singer Dionne Warwick is coming to Detroit.
Ahead of her performance she spoke with “Live in the D’s” Tati Amare about what she’s been up to, including recording a new gospel album. “I had the pleasure of recording with some of the most important gospel singers of today, yesterday, and anytime at all,” Warwick said.
