A linguistic irritant VIII

Record companies, while a recording artist is still alive, please don't jump the gun on declaring the artist's career, or at least the hit-making days, over.  I have a Dionne Warwick compilation titled, "Her All-Time Greatest Hits."  Upon closer inspection, however, it contains only her hits from 1962 to 1970.  Although Warwick released a lot of good music during that time, her career and hits extend far past 1970.  "All-Time Greatest Hits?"  No.  Those were her greatest hits during her early years.
