Dionne Warwick

Produced by Barry Manilow and penned by Will Jennings who was inspired by the poem I Shall Pass This Way But Once (commonly attributed to French-American Quaker Stephen Grellet), this 1979 hit won Dionne the 1980 Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. The searing melody (composed by Richard Kerr) is on falling in love knowing it may never be the same again at least before the good is gone.
