2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee Dionne Warwick and Linda Ronstadt live (3:00) perform Anyone Who Had a Heart. Written by the songwriting team of Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) for Dionne Warwick in 1963, the (remastered) single recording hit the Top Ten in the United States, Canada, Spain, Netherlands, South Africa, Belgium, and Australia. In 1993, Linda Ronstadt recorded the song for her album Winter Light.

Dionne Warwick recorded "Anyone Who Had a Heart" at Bell Sound Studios in Manhattan in November 1963, in a session produced by Bacharach which also yielded "Walk On By" and "In the Land of Make Believe" and included session drummer Gary Chester. According to published reports, Warwick nailed the tune in only one take. Source: Wikipedia

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in March 2022, the music icon was asked how she felt about her nomination for the Rock Hall Class of 2022.

“I’m not a rock and roller. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as I grew to know it many, many years ago was specifically for rock and roll acts,” the Walk On By hitmaker explained. “I feel now, especially when I hear that Dolly Parton was nominated, they should rename the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and call it The Music Hall of Fame. It would bring so many other genres into it… why not?”

This year 2022 marks the second time Dionne has been nominated for the prestigious music museum. Other artists in the running include Eminem, Lionel Richie, Beck, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, DEVO, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Rage Against The Machine, Carly Simon, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Dolly Parton is joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame whether she wants to or not. The country-music legend, who made global headlines recently when she asked that her nomination be withdrawn because she felt she hadn’t earned the right to become a member, will nevertheless be inducted later this year, organizers announced May 4, 2022, as part of a varied group of acts that includes Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon.
