Others receiving this year’s honors are rapper and actor Queen Latifah, opera singer Renée Fleming and 1970s music icon Barry Gibb.

Kennedy Center president Deborah F. Rutter called this year’s crop of inductees “an extraordinary mix of individuals who have redefined their art forms.” Warwick shot to stardom in the 1960s as the muse for the superstar songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She said her pride at receiving the honor will be mixed with “a bit of sadness because Burt and Hal won’t be there.” Bacharach died in February, and David died in 2012.
“As my son said the other day, ‘Congratulations, and it’s about time,’” Warwick said. “I told him everything happens when it’s supposed to happen.” Fleming is also part of an obscure bit of Kennedy Center Honors trivia, having performed along with fellow 2023 honoree Queen Latifah at the 2014 Super Bowl. Fleming sang the national anthem while Latifah performed “America the Beautiful.”
