The elegance of Dionne Warwick

One of the most accomplished and distinctive voices that transcends genre, Dionne Warwick is a true legend. 

The Sweet Spot was beyond thrilled to speak to her about her decades of hits, her partnership with Burt Bacharach and Hal David and her new release "I'm Back". 

Every bit as warm and lovely as her music, tune in for a warm and wonderful conversation with a legendary artist followed by a Dionne Warwick power hour of music! 

Cassio Ware and his Jersey house music fam!

There’s an old saying that you can tell a man by the company he keeps and if this is indeed true Cassio Ware is a real gem! The House Music legend rolled up in our Brooklyn studios with some of Jersey’s most talented (and nicest!) and we proceeded to have a blast! Cassio laid out a lot of the history of the Jersey House scene and shared new music that the talented Vickie Ryan, Cynthia Tucker and Kyle “The Voice” Abercrombie and DJ Sharif who joined us in the studio, contributed to. What a stellar night from some of Jerseys brightest house music stars!
