@@debrabrabenec3731 My bad, Debra. Actually, it was recorded initially by Billy Joe Royal. "Down in the Boondocks" is a song written by Joe South, with sampling from Gene Pitney's "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa", and recorded by American artist Billy Joe Royal. So, I was getting my feet tangled a bit there. However, even though that was the more popular version (at least, I believe it was) that I was referring to, you are correct that BJ Kramer did indeed record his own version of it, as well.
The whole staging and choreography is so old-fashioned, it looks like something from the mid-Fifties. It's like some dusty old machine went "Oh, it's "Country", better have some cowboy motifs, oh, but we have to have female dancers, let's put them in cowboy costumes, but it has to be arty, so let's have some silhouettes and stuff. done."
She looked even cuter with her natural long and ginger g Hair and with lighter hair....about her singing voice,she was a good mezzo soprano who could sing many kinds of music,especially soul and blues
An Aussie here, I can tell you where almost any place is in America and I didn't need to visit it to learn. It's just opening your ears and eyes to the rest of the world. I can't imagine there'd be many people outside of America who DIDN'T know where Tulsa is. Granted I will say, I have been shocked to discover a few Aussie's who don't know where Savannah is. Maybe naming cities is not for everyone. But still, our educations systems in commonwealth countries are much more complex and we learn far more things about the world than I've discovered some Americans come away knowing, even about your own country. It mind boggled me to see the range of idiotic answered coming from the mouths of US college kids on some of these shows where they stop them and ask them ranges of quiz questions when they find them on the streets. I'm not sure what's going on over there education wise. Not in a country that touts itself as leaders of the free world. You would think everything would be immaculate. I was appalled to learn of the education standards in some southern areas, that there's are groups of people who fell so far through the cracks that's they are working adults who can't read a single thing. How is this possible?
@bojack 40 You Brits are very insular. I met some who had no idea how large the US was and assumed one could travel from one location to another in one day, when it would actually take three or four hours by plane to do so. I met Brits who thought you could travel from. New York to California and back in one day. They had never heard of the state where we were, New Jersey, and some thought it was part of New York City.
Dusty always knew how to move.
She had sense of rythm
she looks so beautiful
I’ve never seen this hair on her before. And this is an incredibly complex to sing. And she’s the best of course.
How cool to see her not in a dress and with her hair down!! Cool upload thanks
Amazing , Imagine Dusty & Gene Pitney together singing songs , Mind blowing in a great way :-)
They kind of did, on Ready Steady Go. They played a speeded up version of. 24... , and Dusty and Genevkid mixed to it together.
Loved Gene Pitney on this song, now after hearing Dusty, Wow, Wow..
Doesn't she look absolutely fabulous! Love the hair style. I'm her #1 fan
+Thomas Sperduti I could fight you for that title haha
I am!
I am!
Sorry mate I’m her no1 fan..and I’ve met her!!!
You and 50,000,000 others !
Such a great song for Dusty's singing style!
Bacharac wrote songs that were perfect for her
Beautifully acted there. Great use of backing dancers as well.
Great song, wonderful singer. Thanks for the upload!
oh dusty... so many memories
Great cover of this song, interesting to hear the changes in lyrics to fit a female singing it
Gotta love Dusty
I love this song she is singing !!!!!!
If you closed your eyes while listening to the intro to this song, you'd swear it was "Down in the Boondocks" by Pitney.
Thought that was by Billy J. Kramer. Did Gene record it also?

@@georgeralph8031 You're right, I was confusing Billy J Kramer with Billy Joe Royal, whose version is the hit I remember! Thanks!
Loving the hair the song and of course our dusty
A perfect song for Dusty to cover Gene Pitneys hit of 1963 !
I thought bacarach wrote this wonderful song for her,and not for pitney
It was Gene Pitney's song. Dusty does a good job even if the genders were wrong as she sang it.
SuperStar ! Miss Dusty Springfield.
thanks for sharing, haven't seen this before.
love it!

SUCH a good sog. And Dusty's drag queen arm movements are idolized.
She looked even cuter with her natural long and ginger g

Love this song
Just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you Dusty.
(Wish she had covered that song)
She did on her first album, A Girl Called Dusty
You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you. That one?
Utter class
She looks great and relaxed!
Cow girls :D
That hairdo suited her
great video! thanks
Just discovered this song From the show Castle Rock.
Long hair and slacks wow😉 Which show was this from ? Does anyone know? But love this cowgirl look on her!😘
The fact of the matter is she'd probably had no idea where Tulsa was. She was a Brit from the U.K.
George Ralph as we Brits are not so insular or parochial as Americans I am pretty sure she found out
So ?
Ya'll...Dusty was actually known for her love of maps. Who knows she's might have looked it up. .

A song about cheating on your lover and going for someone "better"..... Regardless, it is a great sounding song. Rustic and old, but in a good way.
Patina...
Yeah lol, I was just thinking how to relate to this yikes!
Bad scenography but she looked very fine with that hairdo
This's my opinion
It is a perfect "tit for tat" to Gene's betrayal and infidelity...😉😏
Which show was it?it was playback
How does the background set relate to this song?
I GUESS IT,S A OKLAHOMA BARN DANCE SETTING ?....////
it doesn't...no way, but the song is so wonderful I don't care
He took her to a cafe in Oklahoma where they danced. Seems fitting to me
?
Adele needs to cover this.
PLEASE NO
Why not?
ragemanchoo82
Because you should NEVER damage something thats already perfect!!
Dusty was different class.
No!
Peerless as ever.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SONG ...DOWN IN THE BOON DOCKS
Same tune. Youre right
