The evening featured a premiere screening of the new PBS Special of multi Grammy-winning artist, Dionne Warwick, whose career has spanned over five decades. The special,  My Music Presents: Dionne Warwick – Then Came You,  showcases her career in song with tributes from friends and admirers, such as Gladys Knight, Barry Manilow, Smokey Robinson, and her main songwriter Burt Bacharach. In advance of the national premiere, the Paley Center welcomed Dionne for an in-person conversation with Larry King around her successful career selling over 100 million records. Clips from the Paley Archive illuminated the conversation celebrating Warwick, who is known for songs such as “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Walk On By,” and “That’s What Friends Are For.”
