Back in the very late 60's this was my life . God , such lovely memories. Were it possible to turn time on it's head, I would be the first in line, never looking back.
Both the song and Dusty herself are indescribably sublime. She made it into so much more than just another late '60s psychedelic pop tune. I understand Dusty actually didn't want to do the song, didn't like or understand it, but recorded it as per contract- it was the soundtrack of the original 1968 "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, although it didn't seem to have much to do with the plot (wealthy man pulls bank heist just for kicks). No matter- both this amazing song and Dusty will live forever....
That relaxed delivery of words , as if she's in the shower. Dusty has got that very calming tone of voice, she could tell you the world is ending, and you'd smile , close your eyes and sleep.
Great version by Dusty. She was a great singer and we're lucky to have these videos to show that to generations that were not around when she was alive.
Originally composed by Michel Legrand (music) and Alan & Marilyn Bergman (lyrics) in 1968, “Windmills of Your Mind” is a shimmering POP GEM covered by peerless English interpreter Dusty Springfield for her seminal 1969 LP “Dusty in Memphis.”
Voice of an angel ,the 60's and 70's was the era of real Soul music and sublime singing . The Temptations ,Four Tops,Isley Brothers, probably the most accomplished and dynanic boy bands ever. Gladys Knight ,Diana Ross,Dusty,Roberta Flack some of the best Soul singers. 👌
IMO she did the best version of this beautiful song from "the thomas crown affair." she totally owned this song. i love the minimalist accompaniment - she is the focus and center of this ballad.
There's no one else that sings this song better than Dusty Springfield. No-one else.

i just love her whisper bedroom voice so soft but so powerful when she hits the high notes. excellent singer.
OMG...this song brings tears to my eyes, she is magnificent.
