While some of the volumes in Legacy's LOVE SONGS series are limited to a particular (often latter-day) period of the artist's recording career, the label's Dionne Warwick collection is far more definitive, spanning eras in a cross-licensing coup. So you get not only Warwick's late-1970s/early-'80s MOR hits, but also the '60s Bacharach-David tunes that made her a pop icon. Such stellar examples of the latter as the transcendent "Alfie" and the breezy, bossa nova-tinged "Walk on By" share space with the Bee Gees-penned '80s hit "Heartbreaker" and the bombs-away epic ballad "I'll Never Love This Way Again" (produced by Barry Manilow, appropriately enough). Even a '90s take on the supple Sting composition "Fragile" is offered up here. By cobbling together tracks from disparate stretches of Warwick's career, LOVE SONGS presents a pretty effective snapshot of the singer's multi-faceted musical personality.
