I like the smooth, easy way Dionne sings.

Good poll; two greats! I feel like Aretha is going to win this because she seems to be more popular overall. But personally I love Dionne Warwick. Such great pitch...and she always looked so effortless singing.

For me, Dionne. And not only on that song. She has a beautiful voice, and she completely mesmerized me with Deja Vu.

No picking for me I like both of them, different women, different looks, different styles, different music choices.

I love both also, but if pressed, I would probably choose the original 1966 Dionne Warwick. ....

I have a lot of respect for Aretha, but if I'm honest, I'd have to choose Dionne Warwick, and that preference goes back to childhood.

I also like them both, but I vote Dionne Warwick. She worked incredibly well with Burt Bacharach. Her vocals stamped her own identity on many of Bacharach-David's well constructed songs. Anyone who had a heart, walk on by, Reach out for Me, Message to Michael, the Windows of the World, Do You Know the Way to San Jose, and Promises, Promises would be my favorites by her.

Yeah, her performances of Bacharach songs are especially great. My favorite back when I was a little kid in the late 60s/early 70s, was "Do You Know the Way to San Jose."
