Dionne Warwick Erhält Den Ehrenpreis Des Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreises 2013 Für Ihr Soziales Und Karitatives Engagement, Insbesondere Im Kampf Gegen AIDS Dionne Warwick erhält den Ehrenpreis des Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreises 2013 für ihr soziales und karitatives Engagement, insbesondere im Kampf gegen AIDS. Die US-amerikanische Sängerin Dionne Warwick (geboren 1940 in East Orange, New Jersey) ist eine Legende des Soul. Seit ihrem Debüt mit „Don´t make me over“ im Dezember 1962 erreichten über 60 ihrer Songs die weltweiten Charts. Dionne Warwick war 1968 die erste afroamerikanische Sängerin, die mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnet und mit ihren Hits zum Weltstar wurde. Sie gilt als „the artist who bridged the gap" – als Brückenbauerin zwischen Pop, Gospel und R&B. Sie überwand Grenzen zwischen Rassen, Kulturen und musikalischen Genres. Dionne Warwick bereitete den Weg für die weiblichen afro-amerikanischen R&B-Stars wie ihre Cousine Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé und Alicia Keys, die sich in Interviews immer wieder auf Dionne Warwick beziehen. Dabei stammen ihre berühmtesten Titel aus der Feder eines weißen Komponisten: Burt Bacharach. Mit Stücken wie „Say A Little Prayer“, „I’ll Never Fall In Love Again“, „Heartbreaker” oder „Walk on by” erwiesen sie sich als kongeniales Team. Seit Beginn ihrer Karriere engagiert sich Dionne Warwick in bedeutendem Umfang für soziale und karitative Organisationen. Die Souldiva sagt von sich, sie habe es sich „zur Aufgabe gemacht“, wo immer sie kann „die Stimme derer zu sein, die keine Stimme haben“. Sie setzte sich in unzähligen Benefizkonzerten und Charity- Aktionen für eine bessere Gesundheitsversorgung vor allem für Kinder, für Armuts- und Hungerbekämpfung und Katastrophenhilfe ein. Als „U.S. Ambassador for Health" setzte sie sich in den USA für ein besseres Gesundheitssystem ein. Seit 2002 ist sie als „Goodwill Ambassador" der Welternährungsorganisation FAO tätig. 1984 war sie Protagonistin bei „We Are the World". Untrennbar bleibt sie mit „That’s What Friends Are For” verbunden, einer Hymne des Helfens. Der Millionen- Erlös ihres Welthits floss in vollem Umfang der von Elizabeth Taylor gegründeten amerikanischen Aids-Hilfe amfAR zu, die davon in den ersten beiden Jahren ihrer Existenz ihr komplettes Budget bestreiten konnte. Über die Jahre engagierte sich Warwick immer wieder für die Institution. Dionne Warwick wurde vielfach für ihr karitatives Engagement ausgezeichnet. Für ihren großen sozialen Einsatz und ihre aufmerksamkeitsstarke Stimme im Kampf gegen AIDS wird Dionne Warwick mit dem Ehrenpreis des Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreises 2013 ausgezeichnet. .

    LISA FISCHER BIO Lisa Fischer is a singer who really gets around. Her life is an endless round of planes, trains, and automoBiles, rehearsals and fittings. On tour with the Rolling Stones, Sting, Chris Botti or Nine Inch Nails, her name may not Be on the marquee, But she doesn't care. She's Busy loving every minute of it. It's easy to see why she works all the time: her astonishing range, her spot-on intonation, her mastery of the stage, the way her tone wraps itself around your heart and won't let go, the infectious quality of her time feel: these things keep her on top of the list. But it's the sweetness of her smile, her visiBle pleasure in watching her Bandmates do their stuff, her glamorous- girl-next-door quality that make fans all over the world think she's their own secret discovery (despite the fact that the YouTube version of her duet with Mick Jagger on 'Gimme Shelter' has millions of hits). The rest of her resume is pretty impressive too: touring, recording, and music making with Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Beyonce, Dionne Warwick, Dolly Parton, Bobby McFerrin, Alicia Keyes, Lou Reed, Louie Vega, Aretha Franklin, John Scofield, George Benson, Laurie Anderson, Lee Ritenour, Jackie Evancho (and many others). Along with many other top session and backup singers like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Patti Austin, and Judith Hill, "the greatest artists you've never heard of" (but whose voices are instantly recognizable), she's featured in Morgan Neville's acclaimed documentary film Twenty Feet from Stardom, distributed By Miramax in the US and scheduled for European premieres throughout 2013-2014 season.
