Friends is a 1985 album recorded by Dionne Warwick, her seventh for the Arista label. The LP was originally issued as number AL 8-8398 in the Arista Catalog. It stands as one of Warwick's most successful albums.
History[edit]
The album was executive produced by Clive Davis. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard album chart in March 1986. It was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, at the 1987 Grammy Awards, eventually selling 900,000 US copies.[citation needed] The album yielded the single 'That's What Friends Are For', which became Warwick's biggest U.S. hit, spending four weeks at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. A second single, 'Whisper in the Dark', was released in 1986.
'On My Own', a song recorded by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald, was originally written for Warwick by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. Warwick recorded the song to be released on this album but it wasn't included in the final track list. The version recorded by LaBelle and McDonald was released in 1986 and became a hit. Warwick has performed the song live on several occasions.
In USSR the album was released under the translated title Друзья.

| Allmusic | [2] |
Bil Carpenter from Allmusic called Friends Can Be Lovers 'certainly one of her best-produced, best-sung and well-packaged albums since joining the Arista roster.' He found that 'Here lies the pleasant balance between Dionnesque pop anthems ('Age of Miracles' and 'I Sing at Dawn'), ballads (Sting's 'Fragile' and a duet with Whitney Houston on 'Love Will Find a Way'), down-right funk on 'Much Too Much' and shameless lust on 'Where My Lips Have Been'.'[2]
