To celebrate Black Music Month, we are excited to bring back our Vault of Soul series. This week, we're uncovering the life and legacy of Dionne Warwick.
The world has rediscovered Dionne Warwick.
Now, as the legendary singer might put it, do you know the way to the Hall of Fame?
Warwick, whose star has ascended again thanks to Twitter and “Saturday Night Live,” is on the ballot for the first time in her career, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently announced.
“I am a firm believer that when it’s supposed to happen, that’s when it does,” Warwick said. “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame never even entered my mind and when somebody called me to let me know that I had been nominated really? It took them 58 years to figure it out, I guess.”

The artist who crafted a towering mural of the late Whitney Houston by putting together more than 1,000 glass pieces on a luxury apartment building in Newark has finished her work.
The 19 foot by 28 foot mosaic was more than just a tribute to the late iconic singer, who was born in Newark and sang in the gospel choir at New Hope Baptist Church as a child. It was a way to uplift the community and remind residents along with visitors that Houston got her start in the Brick City, a place with rich musical roots.
