Title: POOR DIONNE!
Review: This is one of the saddest examples of vocal deterioration I've everheard. I have LOVED Dionne since I was a kid, but anyone with earsknows that she has chain-smoked her vocal cords to death. She justsounds so awful and strained on this--listen to any of the sound clips.They're all bad, but "I Say A Little Prayer" may be the worst. She completely obliterates the melody to fit it into her shrinking range.And the production is so amateurish--it sounds like an old demo fromthe 1980's, full of cheesy synths. Add to that the stale "Duets" concept,and you have a disaster from start to finish. Anyone remotely interestedin this once-glorious voice would be better off with any of the compilations of her classic hits from the 60's, easily found on RhinoRecords. What a shame!
