Ranked among the 40 biggest hitmakers from the ’50s to the late ’90s, Dionne Warwick celebrates 80 years of life today. Warwick is one of the most-charted vocalists of all time with 56 singles making Billboard’s Top 100 between 1962 and 1988 while 12 of them ranked in the Top 10. She dominated the R&B, Pop, and Adult Contemporary charts at the height of her career when the competition for gifted vocalists was much higher than today, and might we add, quite difficult to navigate. Dionne Warwick not only succeeded but she rightfully gained a reputation for her sass, ferocious personality, and witty banter. Warwick has been known to be a true diva, and she brought that same energy to Twitter.

She joined the app in 2012 but leading up to her 80th birthday, the legendary artist has become increasingly active. Truthfully, Dionne Warwick is the best thing to happen to Twitter in 2020 often trolling her celebrity friends and foes.
Her niece Brittani is responsible for teaching Ms. Warwick the ropes on Twitter. W Magazine referred to her as a must-follow and she accredits Brittani as her “Social & Branding Director” thanking her millennial niece for helping her “figure this Twitter thing out!”
To commemorate this milestone of an 80th birthday, Dionne Warwick calls her fellow A-list friends to help her celebrate with a cause for A Holiday Musical Birthday Celebration. She is historically known for her philanthropic endeavors as the former Goodwill Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization. This year Warwick is hosting a virtual party and concert where she intends to raise money for Hunger Not Impossible, which is an organization connecting kids and families with prepaid, nutritious to-go meals from nearby restaurants. The six-time Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter invites fans and donors to the only place to be before the long-awaited Keyshia Cole and Ashanti Verzuz this Saturday (Dec. 12) on the Queen’s actual birthday.
