My Life, as I See It: An Autobiography
Dionne Warwick made her singing debut in church at the request of her grandfather, the Reverend Elzae Warrick, when she was six years old.

First I want to say that I love Ms. Dionne Warwick and think she's a legend. I was very excited to read this book. But the book is all over the place. The book is not written chronologically at all and often times moves from chapter to chapter leaving the reader to wonder why/how things are connected or why they are even being discussed at that moment. You do get some in depth and a deep understanding of her professional life but you are in a lot of ways left in the dark about her personal life.

When one thinks of music from the 70s, one name that might come to mind is Dionne Warwick.
You might remember her for songs such as "I'll Never Love this Way Again" or "Deja Vu"....or for anyone whos a fan of 80s music you may remember her part in "We Are the World" or her later hit "That's What Friends are For". This book goes into her life from her start in Gospel Music to her fandom in Brazil.
A good book for fans of the icon Dionne Warwick.

Dionne has an interesting story to tell, but I found the book jumpy and hard to read.
Pretty good, but not as juicy or as revealing as I thought it would be.
