Six-time Grammy Award winner Dionne Warwick joins In Focus to discuss Black History Month and her new single "Power In the Name," which will profit charities for the homeless — a top issue for the new New York City mayor.
The legendary singer is not new to the philanthropy game — she is also widely known for her hit song "That's What Friends Are For," which raised money for AIDS research back in the 1980's.
As the second-most charted female vocalist during the rock era (1955-1999), Warwick talks about being newly nominated to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and what that means for her six-decade career. As one of the most-charted vocalists of all time, Warwick discusses her start with her family gospel group, the Drinkard Singers.
The singer, who enjoyed a rise to fame in the mid-1950s and is known as one of the biggest hitmakers in the 20th century, is now perhaps even more famous for her social media personality. She discusses her career and newly-found social media fame.
