    What I loved about the Ed Sullivan Show (we watched it every Sunday) everybody sang with the orchestra or with a group. Performances were live there was no lip-synching on The Ed Sullivan Show. Ed wouldn't allow it. That's what I loved about this show and about this time.

      Ed's rule of live singing backfired with The Doors when they did "Light My Fire". He understandably didn't shake their hands & never had them back.

    Hi Guys greetings from England 🇬🇧 Dusty was an iconic english singer with such a rich voice!!! Dusty was born in London and was one of the first ever female english singers to make it big in America 🇺🇸 and she was part of the famous English invasion of The USA in the 1960s.tragically Dusty passed away far too early in 1999 and you should check out Dusty singing "The Look of Love" this really is a great song. Also in the 1980s Dusty and The Pet Shop Boys recorded a song together called "What Have I Done To Deserve This" and this song shows a different style to Dusty Singing.

      English by birth, proudly Irish by heritage. She was born Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. It may be possible to get more Irish than that ... but not *much* more.

    Dusty in Memphis is one of the top 100 albums of the last century according to rolling stone magazine. You should listen to the album. You should listen to Joss Stone also, she is a modern day Dusty Springfield.

    The Windmills of Your Mind is another great one by Dusty. Noel Harrison performed the song for the movie The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and it won an Oscar for Best Song, but I prefer Dusty's version on the Dusty in Memphis album.
    Sting later covered it for the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.

    This is one of the great British female singers from the 60's. She had such a beautiful unique voice & covered many genres (blue-eyed soul, pop ,ballads, country, jazz). "Son Of A Preacher Man" is her most famous song. But she had a lot of hits such as "Wishin' & Hopin'", "I Only Want To Be With You", "I'll Try Anything", "The Look Of Love", "The Windmills Of Your Mind", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" & many more.

    I spent a wk. on R&R in Sydney, Australia. What a rush! From Viet. War to Sydney in one short flight. I met an Aussie gal & we went out for dinner & to see Dusty Springfield performing in a club live. 1969!!! It was so good & so was the young lady that I managed to go back about 6 wks. later for a wk. of Leave before going home.

    Female blue-eyed soul from an Irish girl. The song was originally given to Aretha. She turned it down because of its suggestive sexual topic. She eventually recorded it anyway, after Dusty had the hit with it. Dusty and her siblings started out as The Springfields and were popular in Britain. They wrote songs that became hits for The Seekers. Elvis loved those musicians and the production, which became known as The Memphis Sound. Elvis came to that studio a year later and recorded a few albums there, which are now Elvis In Memphis. Check out the Elvis songs, "Stranger in My Hometown" and "Baby, You're Wearing That Loved on Look" for Elvis' Memphis sound with the same musicians and similar arrangements.

  • @richarddaugherty8583
    @richarddaugherty8583 Před 14 dny +2

    I think this was the first Dusty Springfield song I heard when I was a teenager 50 years ago! I always thought she was a Southern woman after hearing this song. To my surprise she turns out to be English! You should really listen to her cover of If You Go Away (the BBC performance)! The song is originally in French and is called Ne Me Quitte Pas. In this performance she actually sings a verse in the original French. Very moving!

  • @halcyonpoet

    Absolute stunner! For some Dusty drama try ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me’ and for something totally different her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys on ‘What Have I Done to Deserve This?’ Preferably the live performance at the BRITS Awards 1988.

      I left home aged 16 after a major spat with my family. Nowhere to live. No work. Nothing to look forward to & too much pride to accept any fault. Survived the London streets of the mid '60's for nearly a year. Heard 'Going Back' playing on a radio, somewhere. It hit a chord & I took Dusty's advice. That song turned my life around.
      Thank you, Dusty. R.I.P.

    This British artist was often mistaken by radio listers to b=e a Black female artist of the "Motown" record label, in the mid 60s. She got soul! Once she appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, a lot of jaws dropped in surprise. Great artist, and very Big in the 1960s. Her and Petula Clark, were maybe the only female artists of "The British Invasion," of the 1960s.

    Dusty pretty much introduced soul music to Britain - when it was largely alienated in the US - and is possibly important in that. Also in her voice. And, oh, not performing to apartheid audiences in South Africa. That probably too, but these days it's hard to tell....

    Loved Dusty as a kid in England, with her group, the Springfields, with her brother. The sole exception was their take on 'Spanish Harlem', which didn't stand up to the original, which I'd just heard and was dismayed to hear a relatively pallid cover, as was the custom in those days. Was delighted when she went solo and crossed the pond sometime after my family did. She certainly earned her accolades and at minimum cult status all these years later. Thanks for this.
