Dusty was a rare talent who could sing the deepest soul to the lightest pop and everything in between. She was taken too soon, but thank you Fil for doing this and educating your subscribers about her and keeping her memory alive.

[@Dusty19536]

i was at the RAH that night and the crowd went absolutely wild throughout the show, standing applause after each song, it was one of the highlights of my life being there as I had followed her since 1963 and was fortunate to meet her several times. Best singer ever.

[@marbleman52]

I was a teenager in the 60's and I always loved her song " You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". The way she belted that song out was incredible; what a strong voice she had...WOW..!! It had a superb arrangement and she nailed it.!

[@phillipecook3227]

Absolutely!

[@Yowza78]

Yes!

[@dankierson]

All right, she had a very distinctive voice and furry phrasing. But by 1979 she'd entered a mannerist version of herself. Look at Dusty's poor effort at "Lose Again" in that concert: wouldn't put a stitch in Linda Ronstadt's panties.

[@evanlanctot323]

One of the finest female singers ever!

[@patriciavance5167]

"Wishin and Hopin" was the first song of hers I ever heard. She had a great voice and was a part of the British Invasion.

[@buckjohnson1119]

Patricia Vance Yes, that was a great one! 🤗

[@bmasencup]

Thank you so much for responding with this awesome review of the one & only....Dusty. Fan comments reflect the greatness of her talent & profound impact on so many: Discovering Dusty Springfield is like discovering Plutonium. No words to express her supremacy. An immense, astonishing & timeless talent. No one comes near her before or since. Sit in the dark and listen/watch her sing most anything... and you may find the earth stops turning for a couple of minutes. She paints a masterpiece with her voice. Beautiful, spine-tingling....absolutely sublime. She goes someplace in herself and pulls out pure unadulterated soul. She still nails you to the floor whenever you hear her sing...whatever you hear her sing. Pure vocal soul genius. Classic elegance...Sheer class. A stunning, brilliant interpreter of song with a spectacular voice, utterly without pretense. She was an immense talent. She had an astonishing voice. And it doesn’t date. Mesmerizing perfection…. Spellbinding, jaw dropping sophistication. Only truly known on recordings that most of her fans never heard. Spine tingling…. Her voice cuts right through you. Sultry & smokey, breathy & dripping with emotion, deep longing & smoldering vulnerability. She slays you with her voice. News of her death sent a chill down the spines of anyone who had been touched by her music. She's showing the Angels how it's done now.

[@jolanhowes3604]

This is one of the best and most beautiful descriptions of the magic of Dusty's voice that I've ever read. No singer has ever touched my soul the way she has. I've listened to almost all of the best female vocalists, but Dusty will "always" be my favorite- hands down. She had that rare gift to be able to bring tears to your eyes and melt your heart with how she used her emotions. This oh so special woman had it all and gave it all. We are so blessed.

[@Hampsonful]

A perfectionist to the end, and it shows. Thank you for that wonderful description of Dusty.

[@edfou5]

Great Dusty piece and BRAVO for your continued good work. Dusty holds a position beyond Icon, if you're of a certain age she's in your DNA and when she passed it was the shared sense of someone in your family having been lost. Crazy, I know. Easily the Greatest Female Vocalist the UK ever produced. And by the way Dusty did more to aggressively promote black female singers than anyone AND refused to play to segregated audiences in South Africa...

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I love Dusty and her catalog of music. Because of this review, I also respect her for so many other reasons. It is a good feeling to know that Dusty was a great citizen on this planet. I’ve always been proud of the fact that the Beatles demanded integrated audiences be allowed in their American shows. I didn’t know Dusty did this as well. Thank you Fil for this information on one my my childhood idols.

[@harpgal9950]

Thank you! Your commentary was so interesting. Dusty was one of my favorite female artists. Her cover of Windmills of Your Mind, the theme song from The Thomas Crown Affair, is stunning. Her vocal and the orchestration can't be topped.

[@Hampsonful]

There are many versions but hers is far and away the best.

[@suzannerobbins6293]

Dusty Springfield had perfect pitch! I read where she could tell in an instant if someone was off key! Had her music played at my 50th Anniversary Party too! She rocks! Anne Murray was a friend, and shared these stories!

[@AD4MRick]

In the sixties i had a copy of " You don't h to say you love me" on 45. I loved that song. I wore that little record out I played it so much.

[@knightnurse432]

I always loved this song, and Dusty was great. Her fans adored her. RIP beautiful lady🌹

[@av8153]

Nobody sings "The Look of Love" like Dusty Springfield .

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Yes, it could be very "soft" and alluring, too. Her ballads were sensational.

[@lesmcnabney1761]

Possibly the greatest ever UK female singer. Her version of Going Back by Goffin/King is utterly sublime. Good background and analysis Fil.

[@dalem8332]

Being the Son of a preacher man, l always identified with this song lol. I was the bad boy rock n roll rebel preachers son in town with hair down past my shoulders that went on the road at 18 with my rock group. My dad was so cool though .. he knew l could sing and play and write and do it well...he knew music was in my blood and told me to follow my passion. He supported me always, talking of me with pride to anyone who questioned what l was doing This song takes me back in time. Thanks Fil!😎🎼🎵🎶

[@aprils6589]

Thank you for sharing. So many don't have that support when they go against the norm. Know your still rocking🤘

[@randybailin4902]

"The crowd goes mild at the end." LOL.

[@mariorabottini5687]

The amazing Dusty Springfield... what a brilliant voice and a sensational stage presence she had! Thanks Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘

[@thriftwithjoy]

I didn't fully appreciate her voice in the 60's (we had so much music to listen to!) but now I am hearing more and more in her voice. My favorite so far is her version of "Windmills of My Mind." Each phrase rings out like a beautiful bell at the end.

[@stephenmichalski2643]

Quit spying on me Fil.......I was listening to her do this last nite......hated every second of it obviously as I watched it 3 times........what a gem she was/is still.......without a doubt one of the most greatest iconic voices ever

[@drewpall2598]

Dusty Springfield is another iconic female vocalist who left her mark on the music industry and beyond! I can only imagine Dusty is up there smiling down at an excellent analysis you gave her!

[@OutOnTheTiles]

You review the greatest artists! Dusty is legend. She was on Atlantic with Zeppelin when they started out. Dusty in Memphis is an incredible listen. Cheers ✌️🎸❤️

[@loripond1839]

This is the song I am most familiar with of Dusty Springfield's. Powerful voice, great stage presence considering she wasn't getting anything back from the audience, so true ! And definitely did not know about the history of her career in music or her personal matters, both with her sexual identity and health. I cannot imagine the courage that took for her to come out in those days! Thankfully society and cultural attitudes have changed now but in some places still have a ways to go... R.I.P....Dusty.....Thanks Fil !!....✌❤🤘

[@strooomon]

She is so unappreciated here in the States. Wish I had a chance to see her. Luckily, we have youtube to recreate what was missed. Even luckier to have one so knowledgeable, allowing me to learn a bit more about music, one of the few joys left on this planet.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Never seen her this loose, kidding around! Trying to loosen THEM up probably. Her VOICE is so striking, so emotive, just the best. I watched a bio here on YT that said many music people believed she was the best female singer Britain ever put out. I Agree. And she was a bit ahead of her time, with female singers being mostly pop, not more hard stuff. Such a perfectionist, so the songs sure sound great. I'm a huge fan, been so since around 1967 when I was in high school. Now I've got her discs out and going to start listening again. You WOULD know how good she is, which is so cool. THANKS, your my fave reaction person, and your a professional, too, which helps. Sorry for long post, just a big fan. Lost her too soon.

[@JOHNWLOUCKS]

such a great singer with so many amazing songs ! The pop singer minimalists of today don't even come close to Dusty.

[@jazzcat8786]

A fantastic voice!! Great analysis, now I know everything about Dusty!! You mentioned Aretha..... time for an analysis on her!?!

[@nanettebryant7599]

When I think if Dusty Springfield I automatically think of Petula Clark and Lulu..all great singers from back then..Wishin' and a Hoping is the first Dusty song I remember ..great analysis..thanks Fil..❤

[@redcrabsc1149]

Oh, Fil- THANK YOU!!! You recognized Dusty not only as an amazing singer, but also for her contributions to equality in re: race, sexual orientation, etc. Dusty is one of my very favorite artists (if not my favorite, period). When I was around 11 years old, my parents took in a college student and gave him room & board in exchange for keeping an eye on us kids. He had "Stay Awhile/ I Only Want To Be With You" & played that album constantly. Initially, being into the Beatles, Monkees, etc. I didn't get it at all, but Dusty just grew on me, and before long, I was asking Jim if I could play his Dusty album. When Jim graduated from college a few years later, he gave me the album- I was SO touched by that, and I still have it! Thanks again for recognizing an ICON! ROCK!

[@cyyoung9175]

That's a really great story...thanks😘

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

Oh my god, my favorite female vocalist...thank you! Seeing her will be high on my to-do list once my time machine is fully operational.

[@patriciabarkley735]

She was great! She was from my high school days 50 years ago. I sang along with her albums every day! I read she was a perfectionist.

[@sharonn9676]

Dusty Springfield was such a great singer. Stay a While was my favorite. I read somewhere she had cats and when she passed away she left her money for the cats. That’s what I read. Thank you Fil😊

[@joejones9520]

I hope she really did..cats are much worthier than almost all people.

[@usermo]

Thank you so much Fil she's my favorite from my day

[@wentkat]

Dusty Springfield singing Son of a Preacher Man gives me goosebumps.......every time

[@GaryColemanNC]

Her Bacharach/David work is powerful and flawless...

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

Gary Coleman If there’s a more sumptuous song than “The Look of Love”, I haven’t heard it.

[@lesliejohnson1153]

I don't know if this is outside what Fil wants for this channel, but watching this and thinking how much Bacharach and David influenced music in the 70's I thought an analysis would be great.

[@Ursaminor31]

Check out her knowing when to leave performance out there that song is phrased so difficultly. And she is fab

[@Braglemaster123]

Yes

[@Ursaminor31]

Omg. Yesssss I’m a dustyphile, you just made me respect you even more.

[@userutubeable]

Love me some Dusty! Thanx Fil

[@allisonyoung4007]

This song was so popular that my middle school marching band did a horn heavy arrangement ! Nostalgia~ sweet ~ size 7~ sigh 😏

[@Ailise80]

LOVE her♥️..... And your stories and trivia behind these artists are so much fun. 😁👍 Dusty in Memphis is one of my all time favorite albums😍

[@KabobHope]

Dusty in Memphis is her best and one of the definitive albums of the era. It would make my personal desert island disks.

[@christiangasior4244]

that album also sounds amazing. it's one of those albums to toss in when testing a stereo along with Aja by Steely Dan, Rage Against the Machine self-titled, Black Album by Metallica, etc...

[@rosiekitties]

Love her I grew up listening to her in he 60;s

[@BOOMNERD51]

I loved Dusty Springfield's voice. I knew so little about her history and her pioneering. I was so sorry to learn that she can died after fighting cancer. Once again you have opened a new catalogue of listening. Early or late any music new to you yourself is an exciting discovery. Thank God for recordings we have so much art available forever, more or less. Thanks for the details of her vocal techniques and massive number of recordings!

[@harmonygordon6901]

Thanks for another great analysis. When I was a kid, we had radio on in our house A LOT. I only knew a lot of music by sound, never seeing the performance. When this song came out, I thought she was a black singer. What a surprise for me when I saw her on a TV show! 😂😂 memories! Dusty became one of my parents favorite artists. Was so blessed. I loved a lot of my parents music. Later, my parents returned the complement. They enjoyed a lot of my favorite performers. My mother might have even loved Boy George MORE than I did. Music was a huge part of family life. We didn't go on many vacations. We went instead to see live music preformed. I have seen so many MUSIC GREATS ! ❤👧 luv Harmony Portland Oregon U.S.A. .

[@pickersgrip]

The sexiest female voice I’ve ever heard! Her and Aretha, both queens of soul.

[@LostMyMojo100]

Her duet with Hendrix was ..... I don't know how to describe it!!!! She was a helluva singer!!!

[@LostMyMojo100]

Is..... Not was.....

[@PBG345]

Great job on the bio and capsulation of many remarkable moments in Dusty’s life. Thank you. I’ve been her fan for many years and it’s nice to hear in this technical forum. There is a song All I See Is You, written by Welshman … Clive Westlake. I think there might be an opportunity there for a lesson on ballads.

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

What a Woman!!! So many do not realize that it was Dusty's hits that we're covered by later artists who brought those songs back into popularity. She well deserves tribute. Great pick Fil. 🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶😎👍🏾

[@StephenS-2024]

She has presence. Just plain cool.

[@tommypwood672]

She did that bit with Pet Shop Boys. What have I done to deserve this

[@mevrammcoyoteV8f150]

You don't say you have to love me..Elvis did this cover of her hit..very good too..must of made her very proud..thanks Fil

[@kenhall5551]

Another great pic Fil. Bravo. Dusty was quite the showman. She could work a crowd. terrific performance. Great analysis as usual.

[@Neal_Schier]

"She could hold a note for days." Indeed! Fil brings out a great point as to how well Dusty could control her voice even as she got older. This is a really cool thing about certain female vocalists whose voices just grew into even more wonderful instrunents with the passage of time. It is as if they looked Father Time in the eyes and said "Ok, watch this then!" They just seemed to have taken it in stride and explored different aspects of their gift. Talent in all its manifestations. Can you imagine the great sounds singers like Karen Carpenter or Patsy Kline would have conjured up had they lived?

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Listen to Joni Mitchell do "Both sides now" back when if first came out and then listen to the version where she is older and her voice is SO different, husky, etc and yet it is so magical. It is on the Love Actually soundtrack. Highly recommend it. I actually like the version where she's older.

[@Neal_Schier]

@@KindCountsDeb3773 Good suggestion. Will do.

[@pandorafox3944]

Love love love that velvety voice! Also enjoyed her work with the Pet Shop Boys in the 80's... Thanks again Fil! 🤘🤘🤘

[@jerryp7721]

This site never fails.Thanks for featuring “the greatest white female singer of all time” per Sir Elton John. Excellent analysis as always. Thanks!

[@tammycenter8757]

@Fil, I love how educational your videos are. I haven't been able to watch for the last week because I have been sick but I am trying to catch up on what I have missed.

[@drewpall2598]

Tammy Center... hopefully You are feeling better these days. have fun catching up on Fil's videos

[@michele21auntiem]

Please get better soon.

[@wonsworld61]

a wonderful tribute to a stellar career .. thanks Fil

[@katmonaghan9341]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs, and of course, performed by Dusty first and foremost. Thanks for sharing info on her life and struggles. I had no idea.

[@barbarazeee490]

Hi Fil. Who doesn't love her voice? Distinctive, iconic... ~Thanks.

[@ritahall6628]

Thanks for this much deserved acknowledgment of a great artist and the great analysis. !!

[@ghtsw11]

A brilliant summary of one of the greatest singers.

[@pauladupree8679]

She sure had a natural excellent tone! Thanks for sharing

[@LeeBee-hs6mj]

Another legendary female artist! Thanks fella 👍👍

[@jdcapshew]

I’m getting pretty addicted to Fil, the choice of artists and the perceptive analyses.

[@jeremiahlarkin1134]

Hi 👋 Fil, I haven’t heard this song in decades! I remember my older brother(God rest him)playing her as well as a lot of the others you have show cased! What a Superb Job you do! We Love ❤️ you in this house 🏡

[@ADGreen-es6hm]

I love Dusty , she was an Icon of the Sixties , Man can she sing !

[@kavitadeva]

Wow how little I knew. Thanks fil. I would never have believed how amazing her career was.

[@larryredburn8688]

LOVE DUSTY SPRINGFIELD 😍😍😍😍

[@pattiherf6246]

ANOTHER AWESOME PERFORMANCE... EVERY TIME.. NAILS IT !!!

[@aprils6589]

Loved how she seemed to just belt out a song. Thank you for letting us know how complex it really was.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

looked easy, far from it !

[@darlatidwell9995]

Great analysis and song Fil !! Very memorable song of those times.

[@judyjudy51]

I can feel a you tube Dusty binge coming on . .

[@lauriebaeseman1998]

Love that song! Thanks for sharing this song with us!💖💖

[@michaelholycross8718]

I loved her when I was a little boy, still love her and I'm 61.😊 Thank you.

[@whalewoman813]

My beautiful Dusty, my favorite 60s singer. Her voice had so much emotion, she was just so incredible. Losing You is one of my favorites

[@catsofsherman1316]

Love Dusty. Her version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow is the best ever. Great voice and performer.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

she said that Carole King was a favorite writer/singer of hers. no doubt

[@jeaniechowdury576]

Yay!! Another great analysis! Thank you!

[@mrsdth1943]

She sort of had a soulful sound .. one of my all time favorite songs.. Thanks Fil

[@Ursaminor31]

The white queen of soul as she was known

[@nellgwenn]

Her version of The Look of Love has got to be one of the sexiest songs ever recorded.

[@terryjohinke8065]

Good ol" music and she was so good. Good taste Fil. Terry from Oz.

[@conniemueller7905]

💝 Thanx for the memories!

[@SilverJ56]

One of my favorite songs!!! My new most favorite YT channel too!! Excellent analysis and historical information!!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

having a professional musician like Fil do it is so meaningful.

[@egeo03]

For decades I used to think this was the only hit she had. She is so much greater than this one song. She was an amazing talent.

[@vincegotera]

Fil, thanks for a great video! Love Dusty Springfield, especially her record of "The Look of Love" (which I remember so vividly from my teenage days ... I fell in love with that sultry voice!) and also her version of "Spooky." Great analysis!

[@secondsun7727]

Damn I forget - Dusty had it going on WOW!!!!!!! Thanks For very cool

[@pamnichols7877]

Love this performance!!!!!! She was a trailblazer for sure! Great analysis! Love the story of her career. How about that Led Zeppelin bit. Who would have known? ✌️

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

This was fascinating. Loved her R &B sound in this and showmanship is top notch. She opened for Beatles when they came to US the only time I saw her or them, but screaming was so loud throughout, I can only remember sound of bass guitar. 😎

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Nice Fil, remember hearing her songs, Jeff in LA USA

[@brendaparker3825]

She was such a delight! Loved her and her music. Oh the memoies that came flooding back. She could flat sing those songs!! Fil I adore your smile!! Oh my Lord you make me so happy! Thank you again! God bless you my friend!

[@idankoos4156]

And once again,one of my all time singing inspirations...love her...she sounds similar and looks so similar to the great Tammy Wynette

[@RawOlympia]

Good evening...thank you for another great artist

[@TheMarkEH]

Hello Fil, please keep doing what you are doing. You are filling a void, and making many people very happy, with such rich analyses of great artists.

[@no1jerseygirl]

Thank you for this video -Dusty Springfield is my absolute favorite female vocalist. Her voice is so unique, there's no mistaking her. She could sing anything. I forgot that she helped Led Zeppelin signed on Atlantic. It was so sad when she passed, she was induced into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame afterwards. I love your videos - I'm actually a new subscriber. Your videos are so interesting!

[@charlievance8750]

This great song was recorded at American Studios. Reggie Young was on Lead-Guitar

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Vocal was great was interested in hearing this so many years after the song was a hit good job

[@desmit6]

It still amazes me looking back, how all these great artists pulled their stuff off live... there was no alternative back then. I was a young ‘un in the 70s and still appreciate it all.

[@toddbogeart6757]

Very Kool jammin, classic almost forgot, almost.Thanx Phil

[@bbb462cid]

When I was a little Bluto and this song was on the radio, I thought she sang "son of the creature man". Great stuff as always, Fil!

[@wingsofpegasus]

Sounds like a decent 70's prog rock track!

[@bbb462cid]

lol maybe Rob Zombie could take a crack at it for one of his films

[@vascoemyer]

Not only in near perfect control to my ear the quality of Dusty's voice is akin to a fine, reed instrument. It's unique quality truly sets her apart - like, the early recordings in the 1960s are incredibly special. A genuine singer with emotion and pitch perfect in each perfectly delivered note and phrase, so glad we have her legacy of recordings and performances.

[@duanetergesen7364]

I love how you analyze all type of music besides Rock on the big country fan 2 I always love this song another good job Fil

[@duanetergesen7364]

I hate auto correct LOL

[@BobBlarneystone]

She could belt it out as needed. I wish she'd recorded more music.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

gone too soon.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

You are a great reaction poster. And, I love Dusty, so so so talented. Her voice is deeper here, more powerful, but I really love her softer vocals, like on "the look of love". But, she was incredible, period. Thanks p.s. LOVE the history you give, very enlightening.

[@egeo03]

Just listened to alt tracks to "I just don't know what to do with myself" and "Oh No Not My Baby" Which brought me here. Amazing stuff.
