A new documentary and an art exhibit put 80-year-old Dionne Warwick back in the spotlight. But as far as journalist and critic Michael A. Gonzales is concerned, she never left it.

Also, THANK YOU for including Martina, I remember reading lots of things about Tricky's music back in the day where they don't even mention her. I was always dumbfounded and unsurprised at the same time. It's a gross feeling. You always include the ladies which makes your writing more in-depth. I really appreciate you!
Thanks again Neko. There were so many woman singers in the '90s who never got the props they deserved. One of my favorites was Joi, who has sung backgrounds for Outkast and D'Angelo, but also released a few under the radar albums in the '90s. Her second album was never officially released, but it's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGBz5zki5zc&t=483s I wrote an article about her a few years back that you might dig; she's so good: https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/08/joi-feature
Ah! Michael writing about Dionne is the treat I needed!
He's the best. <3
Seriously, one of my very favorites.
Thank you Neko. You've made my morning.
You are so welcome! I also read your great piece on Tricky and was so thrilled to revisit he and Martina! I love those sounds so much.

Thank you Sari. I'm blushing over here and I haven't even had my coffee yet.
