Warwick's sister Dee Dee Warwick also had a successful singing career, scoring a Top 20 R&B hit in the form of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" in 1967. Young has released fewer solo albums since he was freed from his contract with CBS/Sony Records in 1993, but divides his time between family, the informal Tex-Mex group Los Pacominos and performing live during Eighties revival tours in the UK (in 2001 and 2003).

During this period, she was perhaps best known for hosting infomercials for the Psychic Friends Network, a 900 number psychic service. Young's biggest worldwide hit followed in 1985 with a version of Daryl Hall's "Everytime You Go Away". Her career took a major downturn in the 1990s, with only a few moderate selling albums released and no major singles. 1984 was a difficult year for Young as a serious throat condition affected his vocal chords to the extent that he couldn't sing at all, though he'd recovered by the end of the year and famously performed the opening line to the Band Aid single. In 1986, Warwick led the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) benefit single "That's What Friends Are For" with Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder; it was a number one hit, and garnered Warwick's fifth Grammy. Young's style at the time was a warm, approachable white soul, though he took playful criticism for his fashion decisions - these included chunky handknitted sweaters and leather suits with matching ties, not so chic even for 1983.

Warwick's next hit was her 1982 full-length collaboration with the Bee Gees, Heartbreaker. 2 respectively, while the album "No Parlez" was awarded platinum in various countries. The accompanying album, Dionne, was her first to go platinum. 4 and no. A five-year hiatus ensued, ending with "I'll Never Love This Way Again", produced by Barry Manilow. Follow up singles "Come Back And Stay" and the re-release of "Love Of The Common People" made it to no. Her career slowed greatly in the 1970s, with no big hits until 1974's "Then Came You" with the Spinners. His first two singles, "Iron Out The Rough Spots" and "Love Of The Common People" had no success, but the third one, a cover of the Marvin Gaye classic "Wherever I Lay My Hat" maintained the top spot in the UK singles chart for three weeks in the summer of 1983. Similar success followed all over Europe.

More hits and a few Grammies followed in the last two years of the 1960s. The Q-Tips went their separate ways in 1982 and Young was signed by CBS Records as a solo performer. A 1967 LP called Here Where There Is Love became a big hit, as did her single "I Say A Little Prayer." Her next big hit was unusual in that was not written by Bacharach and David; "(Theme From) Valley of the Dolls" was a smash success, as was the follow-up, "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?". In Europe, however, their "Letter Song" enjoyed some minor success. Warwick weathered the British Invasion better than most American artists, and she released only a few minor hits in the late 1960s, most notably 1966's "Message to Michael". This band established its name by playing live, but never had any hits in the UK. The song was a moderate hit, but the follow-ups were unsuccessful until 1964's "Anyone Who Had a Heart". This was followed by "Walk on By", a major hit in Britain. In December of 1979 the Streetband broke up and Young formed the Q-Tips.
