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). She had a lot of hits such as "I Only Want To Be With You", "I'll Try Anything", "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", "Wishin' & Hopin' ", "The Look Of Love", "The Windmills Of Your Mind", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" & many more.
Dusty Springfield had an amazing voice. She rose to fame in the 60s with hits like "I Only Want to Be With You", "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Wishin' and Hopin'". But in the 70s she didn't chart much. In 1987 she shot back up the charts with her collaboration with Pet Shop Boys "What Have I Done to Deserve This" which revitalized her career.
Dusty was pure fire RIP Dusty, songs like, The Look of Love, Wishin and Hopin, I Only Want to be With You, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me and the incredible Spooky
Yes, trumpet and baritone sax coming thru! Dusty had a ton of hits in the 60s and 70s and made a brief comeback in the 80s w New Wave darlings, the Pet Shop Boys. Not country even though it was recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Studios which was famous for producing a soulful, southern sound and country music. Love Dusty, for more give a listen to "The Look of Love" (very smooth, sexy and jazzy), "Anyone Who Had a Heart", "Wishin' and Hopin'", "Brand New Me"!
This wonder & legendary song falls into the R&B/Soul genre. This song with many of her other ones have always offered out a soulful & groovy sound. Check out Nancy Sinatra: 'These Boots are Made for Walking'...enjoy!
- Lulu - "To Sir with Love" (1967). Barbara Pegg had a character part in the movie by the same name that starred Sidney Poitier. - Petula Clark - "Downtown" (1964). Such a happy upbeat song and sort of was taking us from the doo waap early Rock sound as the Beatles came in also. BOTH BRITISH WOMEN WHO HAD THESE HITS IN THE US. Lulu is Scottish and Petula Clark English/Welsh. Petula Clark is in her 90s today and Lulu (Barbara "Babs" Pegg) is in her 70s today - Turtles - Happy Together (1967) a male group as another upbeat happy song of the era. - The Archies - "Sugar Sugar" (1969) Pop of the era also. It was a feature tune on the hit cartoon show of that era we all knew. Songs got a bit more geared toward the young boomers when yet teens to young adults. YOU DID THE MONKEES and similar HAPPY SONGS. The 1960s songs were mostly SHORTER as that was how radio preferred then or they would not play them.... why? 70s longer came in and some featured videos especially last half the 70s and 80s most got videos the MTV era.
Ok so I have looked through you reactions and I see you have not reacted to David Bowie yet Which means you are really missing out React to TVC15 then get into his commercial hits David is one of a kind genius I promise

Dusty could start out a song nice and easy, then drop down some soul into the chorus. Another good choice for a reaction.

Also try the British singer Petula Clark: :Downtown," "Don't Sleep in the Subway" and "My Love."
Songs from that era were very short, that's how it was. Check out the Pet Shop Boys' song featuring Dusty called What Have I Done To Deserve This.
Soul music.
all time classic! ♥
Dusty did a duet with Burt Bacharach called "A House Is Not A Home" well worth a reaction ❤️❤️❤️
Dusty is the QUEEN of white soul. This is her most famous album. The whole thing is soul, bluesy, sexy, and definitively Dusty.
She had a variety tv show in London. Tom Jones appeared on it to sing I'll Never Fall In Love Again.
Dusty is great. Check out Goin' Back, it's a wonderful tune!!
It was used in Pulp Fiction.
It's classic R&B my friend.❤
Should check out Ode to Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry
This is soul music, but back in the day, the distinctions weren't set in stone.
My dude this is soul music. The “blue eyed” variety
It IS a sexy sound!
Longer isn't always better! Lol. But yes, this song is great, and sexy!! Dusty Springfield is a rabbit hole you will LOVE going down. Trust me!
Please check out Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Cher. It has the same vibe. Yes that's a trumpet.
Soul music
Iconic voice
I'd categorize it as soul
This is called blue-eyed soul, you cute thing, you. Try her You don't Have to Say You Love Me to break your little heart.
She had the hit with this, but I prefer Arethra's gospel-inflected version.
Ok so I have looked through you reactions and I see you have not reacted to David Bowie yet
Which means you are really missing out
React to TVC15 then get into his commercial hits
David is one of a kind genius I promise
