I believe that was "That's What Friends Are For", although I'm not really sure what that had to do with AIDS research. Unless maybe she was just trying to suggest that a true friend would take care of you if you had AIDS, I don't know.

I'll agree with what Kim said.

Did Dionne Warwick have any other songs?
I'm not sure if she has other songs. Whenever I think of Dionne Warwick I think of the Psychic Friends Network!
The answer is, indeed, "That's What Friends Are For". Nice work, folks!
Kim, I have no clue what that has to do with AIDS. One would hope that you wouldn't have to say to a friend with AIDS that you're not going to desert him/her!
JD, the song I always think of with Dionne Warwick is "I Say A Little Prayer For You."
