Make Way for Dionne Warwick, the third album by American singer Dionne Warwick, was released in late 1964. It was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City with producers Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and was released by Scepter Records. The album was Warwick's first LP to chart, reaching #65 on the Billboard Top 200 and #10 on the Billboard Black Albums chart.

All four of Warwick's hit singles from 1964 were included on the album: "Walk On By", "A House Is Not a Home", "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)", and "Reach Out for Me". Also included were the songs "Wishin' and Hopin'", "Land of Make Believe" and the Carole King-Gerry Goffin composition "Make The Night A Little Longer". Of note was one of the first versions of the song,"(They Long To Be) Close To You".

On the album's cover, set upon a black background, were three pictures of Warwick in a dark evening gown, showcasing her as one author put it[citation needed], "A one-woman Supremes".

When appearing on a January 19, 1965, broadcast of the NBC-TV show Hullabaloo, Warwick appeared on stage after walking out of a giant backdrop of the album cover, wearing the same sequined gown and flip hairstyle that the photographs reflected. She then performed a live version of "Reach Out For Me", her current single at the time. She was introduced on the show by Paul Anka, and sang with both Anka and Liza Minnelli.
