Randy
Edelman’s
December 19 concert
at Carnegie Hall was a
luminous celebration of a
career that has shaped both
film and popular music for
decades. From the moment
he took the stage, the
evening carried a sense of
occasion heightened by the
presence of royalty in the
audience and distinguished
guests from the worlds
of culture and design,
including Tahari, whose
attendance reflected the
elegance of the night.
Edelman’s film score medley
was a powerful reminder
of how deeply his music
lives in the collective
memory. As themes from his
iconic scores filled the hall,
the audience was transported
through moments of triumph,
tenderness, and cinematic
wonder. Each composition felt
timeless, resonating far beyond
the screen and into shared human
experience.
Equally stirring were Edelman’s
pop classics, most notably
“Weekend in New England.”
Performed with warmth and
quiet emotional depth, the song
landed not as a relic of the past,
but as a living, breathing work
that continues to speak across
generations.
What made
the evening extraordinary was
Edelman’s sincerity. In a hall filled
with luminaries, he remained
gracious, heartfelt and deeply
connected to the music and the
audience. Carnegie Hall did not
simply host a concert that night—
it bore witness to legacy, artistry
and a composer whose music
continues to endure.

A Legendary Night for a Legendary Voice:
Dionne Warwick
Celebrates 85 Years
BY EILEEN SHAPIRO
CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT
Dionne Warwick’s 85th birthday was not
simply a celebration of another year—it
was a tribute to a lifetime of musical
excellence, grace and cultural impact.
Born on December 12, 1940, Warwick
has given the world one of the most
elegant and enduring voices in popular
music, and her birthday gathering in
December 2025 reflected the stature
of an artist whose influence spans
generations.
The celebration brought together friends,
industry insiders, and longtime admirers,
including Mike Todd, Publisher of Get
Out Magazine, who was in attendance to
honor the iconic singer. The atmosphere
was warm, reverent, and joyful–an
intimate yet star-studded affair befitting
a woman whose career has shaped the
soundtrack of countless lives.
One of the most talked-about moments
of the evening came during a birthday
speech in which it was revealed that
Warwick is planning a new album titled
“DWuets”, expected for release in
2026. The announcement was met with
excitement and admiration, especially as
Warwick has indicated this may be her
final album—a poignant milestone in an
extraordinary career.
The project will feature songs written by
legendary songwriter Diane Warren, with
anticipated collaborations from a diverse
and impressive group of artists, including
Saweetie, who was in attendance, and
Mya, John Legend and many others. The
album continues a creative partnership
between Warwick and Warren that
spans decades. Warren previously wrote
“Much Too Much” for Warwick’s 1993
album Friends Can Be Lovers, and more
recently penned “Free,” released by
Warwick in October 2022 in support of
global refugee initiatives.
As guests mingled and shared stories,
the evening felt less like a party and more
like a living history lesson—one filled with
laughter, reverence and deep appreciation
for a woman whose voice has transcended
eras, genres and generations. Mike Todd’s
presence underscored the significance of
the night, capturing a moment when legacy,
celebration and future artistry beautifully
intersected.
Dionne spoke to the gathering, saying that
when she woke up and thought of 85, she
then repeated that 85 is a big number!
Dionne Warwick continues to look forward
while standing firmly in her legacy, and it just
so happens that she was walking again after
a month long recovery from a foot operation.
If the whispers from her birthday celebration
are any
indication,
DWuets will
be a fitting
and powerful
chapter—
perhaps a
final one—in
a career that
has already
given the
world so
much.
Keep your
ears open in
2026.
