Iconic artist Dionne Warwick has earned her second career nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She is one of 17 musical acts that scored a nod for the Class of 2022.

She is nominated alongside Beck, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, DEVO, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Dolly Parton, Rage Against The Machine, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, and A Tribe Called Quest.

To be eligible for a nomination in this institution, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. 

Warwick has been eligible for this nomination since 1988. She is credited for being “cool, sassy, and sophisticated.” Her sophisticated voice and soulful tone made some of the most memorable songs of the 1960s.

Her mantel holds five Grammy awards, as well as an additional “Lifetime Achievement Award,” which she earned back in 2019.

Warwick’s vocal delivery was a defining sound of 1960s cool, with an effortless delivery and a soulful and resonant tone.

She continues to tour to this day, and she recently became a Twitter sensation with her playful tweets directed at artists with “the” in their names. She is one true song stylist.

Her innovation in song interpretation, combined with a seemingly flawless ability to stay relevant, has made her a mainstay in popular music history.

With her cousin, the late Whitney Houston getting inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago, that may be an advantage for Dionne Warwick on this year’s ballot.
