FIRST TIME LISTENING TO | Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

[@daleb1279]

Born and raised in London to Irish parents and recorded this in Memphis because she was a literal British Dame (bestowed by Queen Elizabeth, Order of the British Empire, Dame Dusty) who had soul. She was part of the so called blue eyed soul singers of the 1960s.

[@dagmar.6954]

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). Her biggest hit was "Son Of A Preacher Man" in 1969. She had a lot of hits such as "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", "I Only Want To Be With You", "I'll Try Anything", "Wishin' & Hopin' ", "The Look Of Love", "The Windmills Of Your Mind", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" & many more.

You kids don't know all the great music we grew up with. Glad you can appreciate this music as well!

[@bobbiecrawford3245]

That little dance was called the hitchhiker with a little skate thrown in

[@conniedean1977]

Listen to “The Look of Love”. Very sultry. Dusty was awesome. ❤️

[@deborahcornell171]

The great Aretha Franklin loved this song (& did her own version) & loved Dusty's voice. When this became a hit, Aretha & Dusty ran into each other on an elevator. Aretha laid her hand on Dusty's shoulder & just said "Girl...." in that knowing, admiring way. I love both of those great ladies. 🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵

That is the HEIGHT of praise.

Dusty Springfield was born in London on April 6, 1939 and died on March 2, 1999 in Henley-on-Thames, England. IMO, her best song was You Don't Have To Say You Love Me. Then there is The Look Of Love, A Brand New Me, I Just Don't Know What to Do and o manymore.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yeah, I LOVE "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"!!!!

[@sherigrow6480]

Her album Dusty in Memphis is so very good. You hear that Memphis sound in this song,

[@hazelanglin5907]

I grew up listening to Dusty Springfield. A great singer. She was called white queen of soul.

[@DaBlackX]

Fun Fact: Dusty Springfield is literally why Led Zepplin got signed, when they were struggling and trying to get a record deal. John Paul Jones was a session musician for her during one of her life shows and she went and told management to pay attention to him, then the rest is history.

[@karendavis2668]

My son used to think the lyrics were "son of a creature" man! Definitely gave it a different meaning 😂❤🦋

[@Charli1996]

Ty 4 showing respect to this song. It’s LEGENDARY & means a lot to a lot of people🫶🏻

[@meganb6543]

She also sang on a Pet Shop Boys tune called, What Have I Done To Deserve This. Great tune. Check it out!

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

...Dustys got the juice, my mum loved singing this song...🤙☝️😌

[@amber3567]

Great song from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack - a good watch if you haven’t seen it yet

[@JulesfromHouston]

Sorry, I hated that movie, but to each his own 🤥🤠

[@JL-is9rg]

​@@JulesfromHoustonyep. Same. One watch and that was it for me.

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

Her The Look of Love is incredibly romantic.

[@dsusan17]

Great reaction!

[@mellisa212]

It goes how it goes. Another great one she sings

[@heatherakintola9169]

Great song!

[@Laura_Martin42]

Love Dusty! This is her biggest hit and it rocks!

[@vhoy7899]

Wishing and hoping

[@itsakittyting]

I Only Want To Be With You is my favorite DS song ☺

[@shawnklein9997]

Anyone who had a heart and I only wanna be with you my two favorites, she ended up having a very difficult life and had a musical redemption at the end singing with the pet shop boys what have I done to deserve this , great song also

[@Morgaine]

One potential answer is #UniversalBasicIncome - everybody doesn't win, but nobody loses to the extent they do now. It could end poverty right now.

[@mollywulff9926]

Damn good song.

[@crissyb65]

Love this woman.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

So sexy and completely covered! What a great singer she was! One of my favorite songs of the era.

[@sarablack2547]

Sexy is a feeling from within not how much skin you can show or clothes so tight you can see their organs. Dusty does sexy with clothes on as does Kylie minogue.

[@godandguns6808]

The look of love😊

[@verukaward]

Great reaction to a great song!

[@PluckyHeroine]

Joss Stone did a great cover of this, too.

[@JL-is9rg]

Yes! it's an awesome live performance if that's the one you mean.

[@PluckyHeroine]

@@JL-is9rg Yep😁

[@catwhisperer9489]

LOVE Joss Stone!!

[@leeannies-tears369]

LOL I loved her so much when I was a girl

[@mattreynolds612]

Dusty is soul. This is her best jam though. 🎶✌️💃 You should do Aretha's "Baby I love you!"

[@nickpalmer3076]

Dusty Springfield great UK soul singer.

[@productivepenguin8865]

Great reaction! My fav of hers is "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," especially done live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4OXp3hvrbFmr80

[@juandelrio3206]

The singing of the Son of a Preacher Man between Dusty Springfield's version and Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin's version, I love Dusty's version better and still do. Your reaction takes me back to the mid 60's when I was teenager and for the first time hearing her on the radio, I was hooked.

[@ilonafann8348]

Try Dusty Springfield and Tom Jones "I'm gonna make you love me"! Excellent!!

[@trishriley9681]

❤

[@karenjack8727]

The Austin Powers comment had me dying 😂😂😂

[@veraluxmundi2032]

Not so much. He had nothing worthwhile to say. Nothing about her voice or style, just a bit of fooling around and making fun of her 'moves'. Crap reaction.

[@Justamy1973]

I never realized Cypress Hill sampled this in their “Hits From The Bong” check em’ out

[@minimonkeyful]

Cypress hill also sampled this track for " huts from the bong".

[@timothyking7117]

My second favorite d.springfield song is ‘The Look of Love’ because it shows how versatile her talent is - it’s a jazz standard. Although different versions are better than others. I prefer the version that ends with lusty sax solo; as opposed to extended trumpet solo

[@CherylHughes-ts9jz]

Song is steamy 🔥💃🔥

[@trevorross1600]

🔥

[@arsanima777]

These moves that you are so fascinated by were typical of singers from the 60s. Some performed them more rarely and softly (e.g. The Mamas & the Papas), and some were very intense, e.g. 'Tom Jones - Treat Her Right - This is Tom Jones TV Show' (this one would make you laugh).

[@ABtheKreator]

I did that one, loved it kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWOUh6mKlpeYoKMsi=QWjXsOkkpXvlAuV5

[@hazelanglin5907]

A great song I only want to be with you. Also wishing abd hoping. All her songs are good

[@lenellscheeler9355]

My favorite old school songs. So much soul for a white girl. Check out a band called Smith. The song Baby, it's you. Another soulful white girl. Love both of these songs.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎

[@heatherakintola9169]

If you like this, take a listen to Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots..."

[@catwhisperer9489]

LOVE that song!!!

[@Kathryne0816]

Just FYI, Elvis like Dusty, too, and covered at least one of her songs (You Don't Have to Say You Love Me). The wig and eyelashes may be dated now but the voice is timeless.

[@promiscuous675]

Thank you. Well now we know you haven't seen Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" (1994) I hope you will add it to your movie reaction channel, though I suppose you could react to the other musical tracks you haven't heard from the soundtrack first.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yeah, he should react to the songs, first, IMO!!!
