Dionne (1972 Album)
''Dionne'' is a studio album by American singer Dionne Warwick. It was released by Warner Bros. Records in January 1972 in the United States. Her debut with the label following her departure from Scepter Records after the release of ''Very Dionne'' (1970), it features production by Burt Bacharach, Bob James, and Don Sebesky. Her lowest-charting album in years, it peaked at number 54 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, her highest peak during her stint with Warner Bros. Records. Critical reception AllMusic editor Tim Sendra found that "the record is only half good because half of the record is not arranged and produced by Bacharach. Instead, the chores are (mis)handled by Bob James and Don Sebesky, both of whom imitate the lush and sweeping sound of Bacharach but with none of his subtlety, wit or grace."

Albums Arranged By Don Sebesky
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983 and was gradually supplanted by the cassette tape during the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s, sharply declined during the 1990s and had largely disappeared duri ...
