Multi-Platinum Producer Elliott Pulls Family Members Whitney Houston, Sissy Houston & More to Record Song for Tyler Perry's Upcoming Film 'Daddy's Little Girls'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Super producer Damon Elliott has been working on his number one fan's album. His mother, Dionne Warwick, is set to release her 45th anniversary celebration album, entitled "My Friends & Me." This album promises to be a dynamic fusion of Warwick's legendary, sultry R&B vocals on the same track with some of today's and yesterday's Hip Hop, Country, Pop and R&B artists. It will feature duets with Mya, Cyndi Lauper, Da Brat, Debra Cox, Reba McEntire, Kelis, Gladys Knight, Angie Stone, Chante' Moore, Olivia Newton-John and more.

"I'm thrilled to be back in the studio and this time with my son. With 45 years in the music industry I've had an amazing career. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the world's greatest musical minds in the business," says Warwick. "Just being able to commemorate this phase in my life and work with artists I personally enjoy is truly a blessing." The "My Friends & Me" album is scheduled to be released Tuesday, November 7, 2006.

Warwick is most recognized for her 60's, 70's and 80's recordings. The Grammy award winning artist has had nearly 60 charted hits with songs like "Don't Make Me Over," "Do you know the way to San Jose?," Anyone Who Had A Heart," "Walk On By," "That's What Friends Are For" and many, many more. In May 2006, Warwick made an appearance on the season finale of American Idol, singing a medley of her hits before an audience of 36 million with her longtime collaborator Burt Bacharach accompanying her on the piano. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is involved with numerous charitable causes. A savvy entrepreneur as well, Warwick even has her own skincare line called Enyo.

Her youngest son, Damon Elliott, has made quite a name for himself in the music industry, producing over 68 million records for various multi-platinum artists such as Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Destiny's Child, Gwen Stefani, Mya, Pink, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Macy Gray, just to name a few. In addition to the highly anticipated Warwick release, Elliott is currently in the studio producing a global heartwarming hit entitled "Family Comes First," set to release on Tyler Perry's "Daddy's Little Girls" soundtrack. "Our goal is to blossom the challenges of life into a rainbow of music and we're the perfect family unit to do so," comforts Elliott.
