    Dusty Springfield was an all time great, no one could lay down a soul joint vocal like her, with the exception of the legendary Aretha Franklin, of course. The two best vocalists of that '60's and '70's era, and Dusty's great songs and performances are still brilliant to this day.

      I totally agree that the bass and the drums are absolutely amazing but I would also add that the production of this song is so good and if you hear it in stereo and pan it hard left you’ll see there’s no drums there but if you pan it hard right you’ll see there’s no bass there so it was very interesting the way they mixed it

    I was 13 years old when I first heard this song on Top Of The Pops - Dusty In Memphis was a commercial failure at the time [ 1969 ] but now it's regarded as one of the finest albums ever recorded , not difficult to see why - Dusty would be headlining nowadays filling stadiums and festivals worldwide - you never know what you've got until it's gone . Without Dusty there'd have been no Adele , no Amy Winehouse , no Paloma Faith .
    What a voice that lady had .

      That is ridiculous. Adele, Amy Winehouse, Paloma Faith, etc owe infinitely more to the Black singers Dusty tried to capitalize off of than to Dusty herself. If there were no Dusty, those women you mention absolutely could have still had the careers they enjoyed. But take away Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Diana Ross and the Supremes, and then Adele's, Amy's, and Paloma's careers become literally impossible. This song is iconic, and Dusty does a wonderful job with it, and she had a very good career. But the white British women you mention didn't owe their success to her, unless you're saying she proved white British women could record decent, commercially successful music that copied the sound of Black American women.

      @@nickscarfo6616 thank you; I need to sit and watch Pulp Fiction again, it’s been too long. I’ve just always loved this song and it has always been ranked high in my list of favs. I loved the music in Tarantino’s ‘Hollywood’ movie (with Brad and Leonardo); great movie, imo. Also, music is great in Forest Gump and Platoon,…

    Billy Ray was a preacher's son
    And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
    When they gathered around and started talkin'
    That's when Billy would take me walkin'
    Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
    Then he'd look into my eyes
    Lord knows, to my surprise
    The only one who could ever reach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    The only boy who could ever teach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
    Bein' good isn't always easy
    No matter how hard I try
    When he started sweet-talkin' to me
    He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
    He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
    Can I get away again tonight?
    The only one who could ever reach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    The only boy who could ever teach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)
    How well I remember
    The look that was in his eyes
    Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
    Takin' time to make time
    Tellin' me that he's all mine
    Learnin' from each other's knowin'
    Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
    The only one who could ever reach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    The only boy who could ever teach me
    Was the son of a preacher man
    Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
    He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
    (The only boy who could ever teach me)
    Was the son of a preacher man
    (The only one who could ever reach me)
    Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

      The great love of my life, was indeed the son (the only son) of a Preacher Man.
      Tommy, gave his devotion to me. I was three years older. This was 39-years ago and our love for each other was considered taboo then. His father never would have approved, but Tommy's dear and beloved mother knew and only wanted our happiness. This was barely 11 years after the Stonwall Riots. Yes, Tommy was the LOVE of my life.
