1 Released in November 1962, the recording of "Don't Make Me Over," reached #21
on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and #5 on the R&B chart in January 1963, becoming
the first of over 50 singles Warwick scored between 1962 and 1998. Warwick's
original version of this track was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000.
That same year she recorded and released a revamped and updated version of the
song on her album Dionne Sings Dionne II, roughly thirty-eight years after
recording the original version.

3 Warwick, for years an aficionado of psychic phenomena, was advised by famed
astrologist Linda Goodman in 1971 to add a small "e" to her last name, for good
luck and to recognize her married name and her spouse, actor and drummer William
"Bill" Elliott. Goodman convinced Warwick that the extra small "e" would add a
vibration needed to balance her last name and bring her even more good fortune in
her marriage and her professional life. Apparently none of that happened because
in 1975 she got rid of extra "e" and went back to Warwick again.
