Dionne Warwick: ‘Britain has always been very good to me. I feel its wonderful embrace’

The legendary singer, 83, on coping with loss, fighting sexism, taking on the Snoop Dogg – and what she really thought of Cilla Black

I’m from New Jersey, so I’d never really encountered racism until I was asked to play to segregated audiences in the deep south. Then I pointed out to Snoop Dogg that he might have a daughter one day (which, incidentally, turned out to be the case) who’d hear young women referred to as bitches. Dionne will perform at the Love Supreme Jazz Festival at Glynde Place, East Sussex, from 5-7 July ( lovesupremefestival.com)
