Dionne Warwick Trains and Boats and Planes 1966 Hit
dibotis asked:
Dionne Warwick’s hit single Trains and Boats and Planes was recorded in 1966 and released on the Scepter label in June 1966. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart on July 2, 1966. The tune peaked at #22. Dionne’s recording contains the original vocal bridge as composed by Bacharach and often heard in other versions as an instrumental bridge, due to the difficulty of the leap in octive required to vocalize the bridge properly. Dionne, unlike many who also covered the tune, had the vocal chops to sing the tune the way Bacharach composed it. Warwick’s recording, arranged, produced and conducted by Bacharach, was the highest charting version of the tune. Bacharach himself recorded the tune which hit in the UK in 1965.
awesome voice and song i love dionne warwick
They don’t make songs like this anymore, do they? And Dionne Warwick can show today’s young singers a thing or two about real singing. Beautiful, thanks for posting!
so very true I’m a product of that generation and now I might be losing my first love these are the songs I listened when I thought of him as we dated It was as hard then as it is now a very difficult man (with a girlfriend who doesnt exist if you get my drift lost soul good songs
wow..forgot about this one. Thank you
Ahh,Yes! a can soda:$0.10 A 45 record: $2.00.-
Hambers=$0.35,Levi Jeans were the favorite thing to wear—Christmas meant the love and gathering of family! Music would define emotions of love lost,imagined love and new found loves.
I miss this voice.
If GOD gave me a choice of any era i could go back to,this would be the one for me. The sixties may have been a time of civil unrest and evolution,but it was also a time of love and realness. I miss the simple things of life,because things have become so complicated and hearing this song just takes me back to a time when strangers could meet and not mean each other any harm. These songs by Dionne more then any other just puts me in that state of mind. GOD Bless her.
After so many time this song still touches a human’s heart:)
Thanks!
