Make Way for Dionne Warwick
Her third studio album, with "Walk On By" as its first single.
Dionne Warwick, 1964
The singles were "Walk On By" (April 26, 1964), "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" (August 1964) and "Reach Out for Me" (October 1964). It was her first album to enter the US charts, at 68 on Billboard and 10 on the R&B albums chart. "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "I Smiled Yesterday" had also been on the debut, "Get Rid of Him" is a 1962 Shirelles track with Warwick replacing Shirley Alston's vocal, and this is one of the earliest recordings of "(They Long to Be) Close to You". AllMusic's Lindsay Planer gave it 3 of 5, noting that other songs here later became signatures for other performers. Collectables reissued it on CD on November 29, 2011.
