First Time Ever Hearing Dusty Springfield "Son of a Preacher Man" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@bmm7132]

RIP DUSTY Springfield. 💕. She even played with JIMMY HENDRIX and he loved her too. She could sing, dance, play guitar, do arrangements!💜💙💚💛🧡❤ Love her Thank you guys 😊

[@Hexcaliblur83]

Dusty.. Dusty.. Dusty.. You silver tongued Minx ❤️🤩❤️ Listening to Dusty with that sensual voice is like pouring honey in your ears.. 😍

[@terjoe6643]

Dusty was one of the greatest singers ever. She could sing every style. She started in Country and Western, moved to classic pop and could sing soul just as beautifully and smoothly. Gorgeous voice.

[@mscommerce]

Dusty was English, and a huge sensation when she went to Memphis and changed styles and recorded a soul album.

[@jakesnacks1149]

Delta blues fascinated England

[@leeoobrien7726]

Dusty was irish her name mary o brien her family emigrated to england

[@mscommerce]

@@leeoobrien7726 My sincere apologies for the mistake. No insult intended to the Irish, whose musical and poetic talent is famed, or to all the O'Briens of the world!

[@thomaswheatley94]

​@@leeoobrien7726she was born in England her parents moved to Ireland when she was an adult. Her father was irish mother English.

[@magnificenthonky]

Being the Son of a Preacher Man, I have always loved this song.

[@jongauchay9948]

One of the greatest songs ever written. I love this song!

[@josephmatthews604]

The hair style Dusty is wearing is called the Bouffant style where the hair is piled up in a nice, commanding and attractive position and was the “rage” hair style the 1960s. 👏👏👏

[@jasonrichardson1208]

Oh yes...Dusty sang the original version. This cut was released on the 1969 album DUSTY IN MEMPHIS which incorporated the soulful "memphis sound". The style and arrangements on this album were a successful departure from the British pop/ folk music of her career up to that point. Yes, you heard me right....DUSTY was indeed British....but with a sultry southern accent when she sang. You should really hear her version of THE LOOK OF LOVE!! 😍😜

[@Knarsen]

This is why i read the comments. Straight up learned something. Thx

[@shirleycameron7718]

She was a teaser.....love it......!!!

[@buckfan1969]

Every guy had a crush on Dusty back in the 60's, including me. Was a shock to learn years later that we had no chance...great performer gone way too soon.

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

What a freaking gorgeous voice

[@AlamoDame7]

A great singer-- British-- In the Rock and Roll HOF Class of 1999 !!! "Preacher Man was one of Dusty's BIG hits-- Check out her other hits: Her #1 Hit-- "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (She belts it out in that one!) and " The Look of Love."

[@leeoobrien7726]

Irish, mary o brien was her name

[@AlamoDame7]

Thar's right! Thanks! @@leeoobrien7726

[@thomaswheatley94]

​@@leeoobrien7726she wasnt irish she was born in london west Hempstead.

[@aucourant9998]

Dusty had a beautiful sultry soulful voice. She was a very shy person in reality and the album this song is on took a long time to make because of Dusty's reticence in singing in front of such a formidable group of virtuoso musicians in Memphis.

[@felixkmgalanti9064]

DUSTY! The Queen of Blue Eyed Soul!

[@chriswhinery925]

This song was actually first offered to Aretha Franklin and she turned it down, so it was given to Dusty instead, and then after Aretha heard Dusty's version she decided she liked it after all and recorded her own version of it.

[@redstep-child3096]

I love this version. I would fucking shit my pants in public if Aretha did this.

[@slutinawhorinskaya]

Do not disparage Aretha.

[@redstep-child3096]

Can you imagine is grandma Aretha sang this?

[@tarafoley6030]

Chris Whinery ... √

[@tarafoley6030]

Red Step Child ... She Did ... But only after Dusty hit Huge with it ... !

[@no2all]

My favorite Dusty Springfield song is "The Look Of Love". A classic song sang as only Dusty could...sultry and sexy.

[@bufordt.justice6741]

dusty was pure soul and she could belt when she needed to but she sang to fit the song and to define the lyrics of the song. in other words, to tell the tale of the song while displaying ultra cool and style.

[@dellafenton2417]

Love Dusty, such a distinctive voice. Great song too

[@yvonnereeve9103]

Dusty refused to sing to an all white audience in South Africa back in the days of apartheid she was told to sing to an all white audience or leave the country so she left. I admire her a great deal

[@jp3813]

She knew a thing or two about discrimination given that she mostly had romantic relationships w/ women.

[@amb6899]

Dusty was one of the greatest singers ever. Inducted several days after her passing. This was out in 68. Had many very good songs. You don't have to Say you Love Me, I only want to be With You. Wishing and Hoping and Brand new Me. She shows her vocals most in You don't Have to Say you Love Me Appreciate if you would react to one of those great songs.

[@jorgejimenez-velez648]

Great song the lyrics are definitely suggestive. She was great lots of hits an appearances all over TV. Hair straight out of the 60's. Great choice, love your verbal rapport.

[@robinfry4408]

The Look Of Love is a must-listen as done by Dusty. Other great versions by Sergio Mendes & Brasil'66 and Herb Alpert who plays trumpet on Dusty's recording as well as being the "A" in A & M Records and an incredible producer and genius on trumpet

[@tinabenton3643]

Always loved this song. Still one of my favorite oldies.

[@condoguy710]

Dusty in Memphis is a great album . A classic

[@larrycunningham9171]

First time I ever heard this song was in the mid 90s while watching pulp fiction. Been listening to it ever since

[@elizabethdemerie13]

ASIA you are an old soul, I am too because I am in love with her look too! I say we bring it back lol

[@jmr152]

Love that song. Hard to believe she's been gone since '99.

[@Leann2]

Awesome song , I love 💕 this song so very much.

[@llschnitz]

Elvis' Girls are singing backup. The Sweet Inspirations!

[@edgarsnake2857]

Love Dusty. Love your reaction.

[@46reno]

Dusty has all kinds of soul. She owns that song.

[@MrBonners]

She was the first. Genre is 'Memphis Country Soul'.

[@pholt5419]

Listening to my generation, love u 2!

[@robrobertson4619]

This British diva released hits in England back in the 60’s. American record executives couldn’t get her to America fast enough! She ended up in Memphis doing her thing😉

[@tammymcavoy3541]

One of my all time favorite songs , her voice still gives me cy

[@tammymcavoy3541]

Chills

[@stevenhiscoe7717]

Dusty Springfield was born Mary O'Brien in London. She was of Irish descent.

[@leftwingmayheim]

One of my favorite songs from 60s! I am digging the vest Dusty wearing. BJ I dont think Carol Burnette had that hairstyle. Carol in her heyday was a block hairdo. But many many country female stars had that hair style. .. e.g Tammy Wynnette . huge country star of 60s 70s. ( stand by your man singer)

[@craigjourdain5365]

Listen to ( these boots are made for walking) by Nancy Sinatra 👍👍👍👍👍

[@JessBecause77]

Joss Stone has an amazing cover for this song. Highly recommend checking it out. She has an unique voice. You'd probably like a lot of her songs. Jet Lag is my favorite by her.

[@billshine401]

Great choice. She had a great career. Check out some others of hers.

[@wesleyballard6735]

Dusty in Memphis is one of the best albums ever

[@marieoleary527]

Dusty was part of the British Invasion (think music) during the 60’s

[@mlvll1009]

A 1970's tv special 'Liza with a Z' Liza Minelli sang a cover version in her show was the best versian i heard.

[@garthdev]

Best female voice EVER!!!

[@x_mau9355]

i dig you

[@Cynthia-tp1kh]

My wedding dress had those sleeves. Loved them

[@ALEXMONARES]

The Pulp fiction song......great song

[@mikefitznb1]

I enjoy just seeing your reactions to my kinda music

[@chadgilmore5046]

They played this song in the movie Pulp Fiction 1994

[@RachelSDay1982]

The son of the preacher man obviously won her heart before he kissed her. That's the way to develop a long-lasting relationship. That's true love. 😊❤

[@teri7398]

Dusty! Check out "Wishing And Hoping"

[@valwebb7640]

A much loved artist in the UK

[@johammerstein3605]

this song was featured in the movie "Pulp Fiction"

[@dracula7644]

A class of what a real talented woman is.

[@mikemilne]

So good- -That Old Sweet Roll -You Dont Have To Say You Love Me -Just A Little Loving and of course I Can't Make It On My Own, where she confesses, "Now you know me You know how proud I am And what I'm gonna tell you now Won't be easy to say..."

[@katherinemiller2401]

Love Dusty! Also, Asia you are so beautiful!

[@stevestarr6395]

Smooth voice like silk!

[@RobertKinchen]

I love watching you guys…..you are always open to new music experiences…..keep up the good vibes…..

[@eclecticwitch6669]

Love this!

[@laurogarza4953]

Sinbad used to feature parts of this song as part of his introduction music to his comedy acts.

[@danielfardella1622]

"Them southern girls with the way they TAWK knock me out when I'm down there..." (beach-boys said). That song was in PULP FICTION too

[@cheryla7480]

I was one of her biggest fans. She just kept having hit after hit after hit. You could hardly listen to the radio without hearing her every four or five songs. One of my favourites was “ The Look of Love “ It was in the 1967 Bond movie, that was kind of a parody of the Bond movies. called Casino Royals.

[@Canucklehead557]

So Dusty Springfield made suggestions about her relationship with the "Son of a Preacher man". Never again to be excluded from the show. Awesome. Jim Morrison sings "Girl we couldn't get much higher," get's excluded for life. This song is about zikual experience.

[@leahbaumann3325]

Areatha Franklin recorded this song a couple of years after Dusty. The writers wrote this song for Areatha but she wasn;t able to record it and it was offered to Dusty. Then Areatha recorded it.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great reactions

[@bakercarl8518]

A great classic. It still works..

[@dancouver23]

Cypress Hill sampled the intro to this song hard with their track "Hits From The Bong". You may have heard it there.

[@OuachitaMtn]

Fabulous

[@SailorBarsoom]

If you're wondering about the age of the two people in this song, note that they're "looking to see how much we've grown."

[@barryshannon5253]

during apartide in SA she refused to play to segregated audiences.

[@doloresvargas6450]

Play Time has come today by The Chambers Brothers.Tony

[@marcs3684]

Song is in movie pulp fiction

[@Zebred2001]

Great classic! This song has been covered by Honey Cone amongst many others. Gotta check out Dusty Springfield's cover of the Van Morrison classic - Tupelo Honey!

[@Chanson60svinyl]

RIP edna Wright

R.I.P. DUSTY SPRINGFIELD 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊

RIP Dusty 🎀

[@kevinmarker-cz3bx]

Still here..Still liken..I'm loyal A1..happy ya'll rollin duet gangster hard..feel me

[@bigs1546]

Asia, I looked through a lot of comments and I could not find one on that outfit. Those sleeves [from a hip old grey lady who lived through the '60's] are called "Trumpet Sleeves" and you can get a crocheted vest from sooo many places these days. Everything old is new again ! Mind you NEVER wear those sleeves to a BBQ !

[@jp80a68]

The version you may have heard is from Aretha Franklin. Dusty Springfield was gay which was unusual in the 1960, although she did not come out till later. She was a big star in the UK and she was responsible and helped with the first tour by Motown stars in I think 1965. In those days black and white arists did not perform togther, but she was eager and happy to sing with Martha from Martha and the Vandellas. There is a great BBC documentary on that tour on you tube, it's worth a watch.

[@anthonyfieldhouse9691]

That lady had soul

[@WorldofColnago]

Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do - check that one out gujs.

[@wheelmanstan]

"I'm diggin' this whole situation" haha, she went all out

[@kikivon3501]

The Queen Supreme herself Miss Aretha covered this song

[@Oldlady72]

My favorite cover of this is by Joss Stone

[@jamesblevins1445]

Pulp Fiction , features the cover your thinking of.

[@sharonspencer2796]

Dusty Springfield is from the UK.

[@idalily3810]

Dusty was amazing. That is all.

[@PaddyIrishman]

Cypress Hill - Hits From The Bong!!!!!!

[@robinbeerman4726]

Heard this when just little girl, didn't know what the song meant. Haha.

[@juandelrio3206]

I remember back in the 60's, Aretha Franklin did her version of "son of a preacher" back in the days when radio stations was racially segregated. Blue Eyes Soul music it was called on the black radio station.

[@crochetloverangelgrace54]

Love dusty Springfield think it was the beehive hair style

[@denisemay6807]

We always jokingly called that hairdo as “hair-for-Jesus,” because all the TV preachers and singers kept that hairstyle long after it went out of style.

[@leemp337]

now do Cypress Hill - Hits from the Bong. they sampled this song. both are classics.

[@danielglenn915]

Can never hear this now without either seeing it in Pulp Fiction or feeling it in Hits from the Bong lol

[@tinaoconnell7488]

Wishing & hoping is also a good one to react to

[@msdeedee1808]

Aretha did a real soulful version as well. Listen to her version.

[@crhu319]

Dusty was a British soul original. Her version is immortal even though Aretha Franklin recorded it too shortly after. I like only one version better, and it was sung only to me. Suck it up buttercups!

[@x_mau9355]

yea Billy Ray got game.

[@BadgerBJJ]

My mind keeps saying “hits from the bong.”

[@terri8988]

I’m sorry to say she is wearing a wig 😊 Dusty can sing 😊

[@bobsam55]

BJ you are a funny guy. You have me cracking up

[@bosshog9090]

It reminds me of Pulp Fiction

[@leeoobrien7726]

Dusty (mary o brien) was irish her family emigrated to england hence all the english trying to claim her
