Heartbreaker is a 1982 album by Dionne Warwick, her fourth for the Arista label. It was largely written by the Bee Gees, and produced by Barry Gibb with Karl Richardson and Albhy Galuten; Gibb and Galuten also served as musicians on the album.
Heartbreaker sold an estimated three million copies worldwide. In the United States, the album was certified Gold for sales in excess of 500,000 copies. In the United Kingdom, it reached #3 in the UK Albums Chart and was certified Platinum.
The title track, which was the album's lead single, hit the U.S. Pop Top 10 as well as No. 1 Adult Contemporary in the United States, and No.2 in the UK. The following two singles were "Take The Short Way Home" and "All The Love In The World" (the latter reaching the UK Top 10). In the UK, "Yours" was also released as a single.
The songs of Heartbreaker, with the exception of the final track, a cover of "Our Day Will Come", were initially recorded by Barry Gibb in February 1982 as a set of demos for the album. (These demo recordings were eventually released in 2006 as the album The Heartbreaker Demos.) Warwick recorded the songs during the spring of 1982, and the album was released that fall.
The LP was originally issued as number AL-9609 in the Arista Catalog.
All tracks written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb, except where noted.
The Heartbreaker Demos is a demo version of the album by Barry Gibb. Originally circulating on tape among collectors and later also on CD the album saw wide release on iTunes in October 2006. The album does not include the non-Gibb composition Our Day Will Come.
