CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS

#1090 DEJA VU Dionne Warwick
Dionne Warwick had recorded some gorgeous songs in the 60s- most from the songbook of composers Burt Bacharach & Hal David. In the 70s, the 2 songwriters split and, as a result, Warwick had lost the source of her hit songs. Her career faltered, with the exception of a US #1 collaboration with The Spinners- "Then Came You". In 1979, Barry Manilow produced her 'Dionne' album (her second with that title). It proved a spectacular success, returning Warwick to the charts with some consistency. "Deja Vu" was penned by Adrienne Anderson and Isaac Hayes. The former had co-written with Manilow in the past, while the latter had played a key role in R&B as will be outlined further up this Top 1200.
