Brilliant footage of an adored icon! She gave all in her performances! you know what else I loved about her? she dressed like no one else - wholesome, even when she wore beads and sequins. a little bit nerdy. and then the bouffant 'do's' - i loved her style - it was like no other - she was unique in every way.
We can be eternally grateful that the magnificent Dusty had one flaw - she couldn't mime for toffee! She was clearly more comfortable with singing live, and the result is a whole library - mainly thanks to gferdinandus - of jaw-dropping talent. Her live version of "I don't want to go on without you" has got to be right up there as possibly the best live pop performance ever, don'tcha think?
GO DUSTY!!! We love you and you will be forever missed. Marvin must have dropped dead after he heard her sing it. She could always sing a song and make it sound better than the original!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I was just thinking the same thing myself! I’m a black guy who feels every atom of soul that Dusty resonates in her performances. I also find it extremely difficult to think of any European woman other than Teena Marie and Amy Winehouse that had this natural gift and love that came out in their songs and performances. Dusty is a GODESS in my eyes and heart. Her talent is still irrefutable and stands alone with these few exceptional wonders. Miss you Dusty and we are truly blessed to have “Witnessed” your pure soulful energy. You’ve got a witness in me Beautiful. ✨♥️💯👑
@@Mikeystar1969 dusty was the real deal she not only covered mainstream black singers like the motown artists and aretha and dionne she also covered artists that did not crossover hard core soul people like baby washington and Mitty collier check out how dusty sings I had a talk with my man all I could say was SING IT GIRL!!!!!!
@@Mikeystar1969 mikey another white soul singer you should check out is timi yuro an underrated italian american female singer that sang her ass off she only had 3 hits in the early sixties hurt what's the matter baby and make the world go away you would swear you were listening to a black women this chick had a voice that would blow the roof off the joint
She kicked the Door Open for Every British Blue Eyed Soul Singer from Amy Winehouse (RiP), Duffy, Joss Stone, Jessie J., Lisa Stansfield, and of course Adele.
This is hands down the best youtube video for when you're feeling like shit. The terrible dancing, the out of sync miming, the outfits, Dusty looking like an excitable librarian and that insanely powerful voice running through the whole thing.
I love Marvin Gaye but Dusty is giving him a run for his money she's even dancing the way black folks do in church notice how she jumps back a.little bit the girl did her homework she loved black music and unlike a lot of white singers that try to have soul but fail maybe not financially but definetly to my black ears Dusty was always on point
Wow! What an awesome soulful rendition of a great Marvin Gaye song that was one of John Lennon's favorites. That's the joy of rock and soul right there, the way I felt at a Ray Charles concert in the early sixties. She killed it. In a good way!!
Dusty looked like she was having such a great time dancing around doing this lip sync. She was enjoying the reaction of the audience to her. She got a lot of them fired up alright. So nice to see her getting such a kick out of it. What a robust vocal she laid down here. The early days.
She wasn't lip syncing, she was live singing to a recorded backing. Common practice in back in the day and obviously different from the released singles.
She doesn't have a microphone and sometimes her lips aren't moving yet she is singing. An obvious lip sync. But I do know that there were cases when she did sing live to recorded backing tracks, I like that better. She did that with "I Only Want To Be With You." I still like this regardless, her boundless energy. The good old days, she was having a fantastic time. But the vocal was pre-recorded. They did that too sometimes on t.v. shows back in the day.
Dusty totally blew a certain London-based blues quintet out of the water, who recorded this on their first album. Her version makes one say..."the Rolling who..?"
no, i dont know what delta gospel is, I know what gospel is, maybe its the same thing, i dont know. But in my simplistic view, soul means singing from the soul, which means its not just about the technical ability of the vocals, but the singers ability to make you "feel" the music dusty had a great voice, but people feel the songs.
Nice! We could've never seen a performance like this in the racist America of the early 60's. I can only imagine the concerts off camera... must've been something special.
Dusty so desperately wanted to go dancing with the crowd. It was hard for her to focus on lip-syncing to the lyrics. She appeared to be having a ball during this TV performance.
I'm not a prude, but I think this is way sexier than modern music videos which border on soft porn. Those feel more manufactured. The way she moves in this video just makes you want to move with her.
Most songs during the 1950s and 1960s lasted only that long. 45 RPM records were ideal for this amount of singing/performing time. Also, during this time period, record companies and music artists were focused on selling singles, which provided the most money for everyone involved. If a music artist had two or three hit singles, the record label would then release an LP/album of music made during the recording session. Occasionally, a music artist sometimes had to go back into the recording studio to record more songs, because he/she/they did not anticipate such musical success.

Dusty selling the hell out of this mediocre song. Terrific energy she's dishing out here. The kids in the audience ate it up. She appeared to be having a wonderful time doing this performance.
No way can this be considered a mediocre song this one of Marvin Gayes best records straight out of the church everytime I hear it I can see those old ladies running up and down the aisle with those big beautiful hats after they catch the HOLY GHOST the rest of the congregation is also out of control they turn the church upside down I LOVE IT I guess it's a matter of what you've been exposed to
dear "super" nothin... if she was black you wouldn't be talking right now... all your b.s. is just you trying to sound intellectual and its coming off as predjudice.. what are you trying to say really? because she's not african american she doesn't pull it off... ?? she's not "deep gospel" enough... what? she doesn't believe in God now??? GET A GRIP and frankly you could never pull it off EVER!!! stop hating

A very convincing soulful performance for sure. She was a true legend in blue eyed Soul music, with true authentic energy and soul.
Dusty makes this song her own. What a singer.
Just saw this for the first time. Sheer exuberance! Great energy! Soulful, strong vocal! Fun!
she certainly does - beautiful voice on a beautiful woman!
She had everything to be famous indeed
Dusty would br my grandmother's age. She is alive and doing well. What a shame to think the world lost this woman decades ago. 😢
Brilliant footage of an adored icon! She gave all in her performances! you know what else I loved about her? she dressed like no one else - wholesome, even when she wore beads and sequins. a little bit nerdy. and then the bouffant 'do's' - i loved her style - it was like no other - she was unique in every way.
Hallelujah! 🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽 That's a VOICE!
WOW what a great version DUSTY you could knock spots of anyone so soulful go sister. FABULOUS.
She's just so damned great!!!! WOW!!!! She don't quit. The real deal!!!
What an incredible performance, so much power, so much soul.
Amazing vocal range and suave at the same time sultry and husky voice's timbre
Looks like she's having a load of fun there!
Without her miming, we would never have gotten to see this outstanding and wonderful performance! Viva la Dusty!
A Spoon full of Soul Loving music 🙂👍 Dusty Forever

westview80 I think it was difficult for her to mime because she was so into the moment full of emotions! Great singer!
What do people mean by "miming" here?
Lip-syncing to the recording.
GO DUSTY!!! We love you and you will be forever missed. Marvin must have dropped dead after he heard her sing it. She could always sing a song and make it sound better than the original!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I LIKE THE WAY SHE BELTS THIS SONG OUT A GREAT COVER ....////
She's on FIRE!
The only & only Dusty. What other White singer can sing sing with this much Soul. The UK's greatest female Pop singer.
Absolutely . 🤗

Dusty knew a good song! She's pumped!!
i sure due miss dusty.
This song from Marvin is full of soul ask Dusty,
Absolutely brilliant dusty is one of the best if not the one vocally
Her real name is Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. I wish she sang more songs like this.
She was wonderful
Dusty was incredible! R.I.P.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!! Dusty had so much Soul.
She kicked the Door Open for Every British Blue Eyed Soul Singer from Amy Winehouse (RiP), Duffy, Joss Stone, Jessie J., Lisa Stansfield, and of course Adele.
You forgot Lulu and Alison Moyet but Agreed, she was so good, MOTOWN sought HER out when across the pond!
How about Annie Lennox?
Ten years later and that's still a pretentious comment.
The guy in stripes behind her in the beginning of the video has awesome footwork!!
OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE HER
she could sing a menu and give it soul
Spectacular and so versatile!!
Happy Birthday sweet Dusty. You are missed!
Outstanding. Astonishingly good.
Just LOVE DUSTY! ALWAYS Have, ALWAYS WILL!
MAGIC from DUSTY ............. ❤️
I died, went to heaven, and Dusty was singing Motown!
Супер !
Дасти красотка ! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

AMEN

Amen!

Early 60's pop TV at it's very best. This is how it was! She's was just lovin' this!
I remember when the Springfields ended and thought it was all over - then Dusty rebounded with stuff like this.
Wow! What an awesome soulful rendition of a great Marvin Gaye song that was one of John Lennon's favorites. That's the joy of rock and soul right there, the way I felt at a Ray Charles concert in the early sixties. She killed it. In a good way!!
On top of all that vocal magic, she was quite a dancer too ! R.I.P. Dusty.
What a talent! And check out the guy on the right in the group dancing1
fantastic , sounds wonderful
Wow wow
Wow pure brilliance
holy freaking wow

I always make the mistake of listening to this song when I go to bed. Wroooong! It can’t go sleep, I’m so stirred up now!!!
Omg this made my day! Thanks for posting!
Brilliant!
today the 12th anniversary of when that incredible lady The First White Lady of Soul came home !
Nailed Dust.
Celebrate her birthday every 16th of April.
Dusty was a total firecracker!
Dusty totally blew a certain London-based blues quintet out of the water, who recorded this on their first album. Her version makes one say..."the Rolling who..?"
very good old video
Fucking amazing..

Fab --
Nailed. One of the few times a cover surpasses the original. Were those drunks on stage listening to the same song?
Bollix
She,z bangin it out while Uncle nob edz dance like every event
Dusty Amy Kiki my best three Brit girls
Jaw dropping stuff, and gives it that extra oomph compared to the original.
Marvin Gaye's jaw must have dropped when he saw this.
Go head girl tear the stage up
Nice! We could've never seen a performance like this in the racist America of the early 60's.
I can only imagine the concerts off camera... must've been something special.
Dusty so desperately wanted to go dancing with the crowd. It was hard for her to focus on lip-syncing to the lyrics. She appeared to be having a ball during this TV performance.
I love Marvin Gaye, but this version by Dusty is the best. True blue eyed soul.
You wanna talk about tearing the stage up go head girl
yes, she is.
The Soul Goddess
Don't worry, Marvin. Your version of "Witness" is safe. Not even close!
quite a mod version. someone, get my parka
My other sister turned me on to Dusty Springfield. A Blue-soul sister from England.
@carolinaguy1973
That is a weird statement to make, can you not just enjoy the music without trying to intellectualise it?
I'm not a prude, but I think this is way sexier than modern music videos which border on soft porn. Those feel more manufactured. The way she moves in this video just makes you want to move with her.
dusty should have been on motown......fact
She's like a female Joe Cocker...So Soulful.
Why is this only 2:39??

U.s.a?
UK Ready Steady Go show.
Thanks a lot
The Brits knew good American songs better than Americans did!!!
Plus we never had segregation in the UK
love motown..prefer dustys covers to most of the originals...
Was that an american show?
No, it was in England. Dusty had her own show on TV called Dusty.
@@amerebrushhand8940 this performance is from Ready, Steady Go! in London
kudos to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
The Rolling Stones brought me here, now i've got a witness
Anyone here after ABC's new show Rebel?

The crowd in Marvin Gaye's version seem to be partying harder. Maybe because these guys are Brits? 😁
When being American was cool
Playbavk?
Dusty selling the hell out of this mediocre song. Terrific energy she's dishing out here. The kids in the audience ate it up.
She appeared to be having a wonderful time doing this performance.
Mediocre song? You must be pulling our legs. I'll assume you haven't heard the Marvin Gaye version of this song.
No way can this be considered a mediocre song this one of Marvin Gayes best records straight out of the church everytime I hear it I can see those old ladies running up and down the aisle with those big beautiful hats after they catch the HOLY GHOST the rest of the congregation is also out of control they turn the church upside down I LOVE IT I guess it's a matter of what you've been exposed to
Comment test
She's better than Marvin Gaye!
No doubt.
dear "super" nothin... if she was black you wouldn't be talking right now... all your b.s. is just you trying to sound intellectual and its coming off as predjudice.. what are you trying to say really? because she's not african american she doesn't pull it off... ?? she's not "deep gospel" enough... what? she doesn't believe in God now??? GET A GRIP and frankly you could never pull it off EVER!!! stop hating
