The live album A Man and A Woman is both delightful and slightly odd: Warwick dueting with Isaac Hayes, who had just had a hit with a paen to troilism called Moonlight Lovin’ (Ménage à Trois). Its solitary single isn’t a medley, more an attempt to bind two songs together as a call-and-response. It works.
Why Warwick couldn’t get a hit for most of the 70s is an intriguing question, particularly given the singles she was putting out: perhaps she was too associated with the 60s to be reinvented. Certainly, the strutting, beautifully orchestrated Keepin’ My Head Above Water deserved better than to vanish without trace.
Warwick would have been a perfect fit for the kind of feathery soft soul peddled by the Chi-Lites and the Stylistics and it is a bit of a mystery why she didn’t make more records in that vein. She also turned out to be adept at disco, as evidenced by this lovely Thom Bell-produced, MFSB-assisted single.
Warwick isn’t exactly renowned as an experimental artist, which makes You Can Have Him a genuine oddity: daringly enough, there is literally nothing to the first third of the song except frantic drums and vocals. It’s viscerally exciting and hard-hitting in a way her singles seldom were.
Warwick was scooped out of her 70s doldrums by Barry Manilow, who produced her platinum-selling 1979 album Dionne. Its big single, a Grammy winner, was a beautifully written easy-listening ballad that sounded as if it should be on a film soundtrack: for better or worse, it set the tone for most of her subsequent work.
Reach Out for Me is a study in dramatic contrasts. The verses are soft, at odds with the toughness of the lyrics – “you just can’t accept the abuse you’re taking” – but on the choruses the strings swell, and so does Warwick’s voice: it sounds as if the microphone is struggling to cope with the sheer power of her singing.
Co-written by Isaac Hayes, Déjà Vu was a markedly different single to its predecessor, I’ll Never Love This Way Again: a breathily sung, lushly orchestrated disco ballad with a distinctly funky undertow, rather than an MOR showstopper. A hit at the time, but subsequently forgotten, it deserves rediscovery.
In the middle of a commercially fallow period for Warwick, Then Came You was a No 1 hit in the US, smartly pairing her with the Spinners and genius producer Thom Bell: a supremely classy example of the mid-70s Philly sound, it briefly threatened to reinvent Warwick as a straightforward soul singer.
A rare thing: a Bacharach and David protest song, the gentleness of its arrangement masking a lyric haunted by the Vietnam war – “when boys grow into men, they start to wonder when their country will call” – which perhaps accounts for its muted commercial response: certainly, it was nothing to do with Warwick’s magisterial performance.
The commercial failure of Warwick’s early 70s solo albums – and the shadow cast by her 60s work – means they are packed with hidden gems. The flop single I’m Just Being Myself is a case in point: a fabulous piece of period soul, written and produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland but influenced by Curtis Mayfield’s contemporary work.
