DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME (REACTION VIDEO)

[@jamesferris4573]

Dusty Springfield was an incredible talent and a powerhouse female performer from England who had many amazing hits during the 60s. This was the decade when talent was real and plentiful, and it seemed as if the never-ending supply of raw talent would never end.

[@laurieweatbrook5020]

Every time I hear music from the 50's and 60's I realize that I was very fortunate to have been around when the greatest music was playing every day, all day long!!! Love it!!!

[@jamesferris4573]

@tradde11 I was raised in the late 50s and early 60s, and the level of talent from those days seemed endless. There were so many artists from before the British Invasion and during the invasion that were far superior to me than anyone or anything in today's music altered by pitch correction, auto tune, and half naked dancers to dustract the audience from the fact that there is no talent or originality on the stage in front of them.

[@Amaberean]

Exactly. I grew up in the 50’s & 60’s I used to tell my sons, and now tell my grandkids; If the world is still here in a hundred years, people will STILL be listening to my generations music. NOBODY will remember most of that crap you people listen to. Now that my sons are older they agree with me. They love it all now. They tell their kids (my grandkids) “better listen to your grandpa. He’s right.” Lol

9 April 2024, born in May 1943, I too am so glad I got to love 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s music, all genres 🤩

[@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 "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.

Great classic song from an amazing singer

[@williambethel6913]

Older music is so much better than recent times ,

[@Thomas-rw9nt]

Dusty was/is awesome. I love her songs.

[@debbielessard4040]

Dusty Springfield was a universal icon!!

[@StevenEverett7]

Sung by Dusty in 1966 and later covered by Elvis in 1970. She was a fabulous singer that I always enjoyed listening to. She was probably best known for "Son of a Preacher Man".

[@ed.z.]

Dusty Springfield was a goddess. I loved her so much. Dusty RIP.

[@alisonmcveigh3571]

Dusty is a legend. That was a live performance - no auto tune needed here. Just pure talent. With ref to you recognising it, the only other version I've heard is Elvis.

[@tlgarrison8433]

I find it funny every time a reacter says, "I feel like I have heard this before." Of course you have! You're listening to iconic music! That Saud, I'm glad you're truly getting a chance to appreciate it now.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Fantastic performance. Back when singers only had the voice to count on, no multiple takes, no auto tune or vocal effects and no lip syncing.

[@TexasRose50]

And no dancing and a big production. I think they do that to take away from the talent they don’t have.

[@texasps91]

There have been covers, but she was the original one who recorded it in 1966.

[@traceycater]

Elvis did this with of course with his own twist. He did good!

[@janethards16]

15 years old when I first heard this song on the radio and it touched me to the core. Everything about it was amazing and I started crying, thinking of the broken hearted people in the world. I still get goosebumps when I hear this beautiful song.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

The easy power in Dusty's voice is deceptive. She doesn't look like she's trying, but brings so much power that it blows you away.

[@conniedean1977]

That microphone is crap, but she still shines through. ❤

[@gayle5967]

Dusty is the greatest white, female singer of all time. She can sing anything better than you ever thought it could sound. She had it all. Her vocal interpretations are second to none. RiP Dusty, taken from us by breast cancer, 25 years ago today....on March 2, 1999. Listen to her sing Goin Back and Some of Your Lovin by Carole King, and Losing You, written by her brother Tom Springfield for her. 24 Hours From Tulsa, Just a Little Lovin, and Tupelo Honey are just a few gems....and of course Son of a Preacher Man, The Look of Love, and Spooky. She truly was the Queen of Blue Eyed Soul. Her full name is Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien, a woman of Irish Catholic descent, born and raised in London, and who attended convent schools. DUSTY was her stage name. This is an Italian song, with the English lyrics commissioned by Dusty and written for her by Vicki Wickham and Simon Napier Bell. It is a Dusty song, anyone else is doing a cover.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Amazing singer. She has a few timeless classics that are always a pleasure to hear.

[@susanthompson8962]

Dusty Springfield sang this song originally, back in the 60's. "Wishin' and Hopin'" is another good song.

[@janw491]

I was 7 when this was around. I can still sing along but can’t remember why I walk into the next room 🤣😂🤣😂

[@TexasRose50]

Join the club! Lol! Same here.

[@trudymorris9981]

We always sung to Dusty Springfield's music. Very talented lady. You should listen to "I only want to be with you" by Dusty Springfield.

[@reneerollins4433]

Wow! It's been forever since I heard her sing that song! Beautiful!

[@nickpalmer3076]

Glad you like Dusty.

[@AnthonyWard-g9r]

The song has "legs". You would have heard it dozens of times in sooooo many locations xx

[@firequeen2194]

Love Dusty Springfield! I still have her CD and listen to it often. Her music has been featured in many romcoms. My absolute favorite is “Son of a Preacher Man”, my personal karaoke song 🎶, lol.

[@cheriemelissa]

Don't know if this song was ever in a movie but Dusty was very popular and this song was a hit back in the day. Such a beautiful song!

[@pageribe2399]

I was just barely a teenager, or younger, when this came out. It really grabbed me. Everything she ever sang was great!

[@elraz1234]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. The Spanish version is sung by my favorite Mexican artist.

[@stevelambert6404]

My mom loved listening to this music and looking back I'm glad I was exposed to beautiful music as a kid

[@firefighterchick]

Wow, I haven't this in a long time.😮 She had a distinctive unique voice and her biggest commercial success was in the '60s. I believe she was born in London and sadly in 1999 succumbed to breast cancer she was 59 years old.

[@jimmythetout109]

Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O"Brien ....known as Dusty Springfield..got her nickname " dusty ' , by her penchant for playing football with boys in the street . But ....she grew up to be a very girly ....girl . Awarded the OBE for her immense talent as a recrdingartist

[@AnthonyWard-g9r]

Later on in her career she performed a number of Pet Shop boys material, less dramatic but still DUSTY. She was superb both as a singer and as an iconic personality xx

[@mariawilliams4941]

Absolutely loved Dusty’s voice, she used to be with her brother and maybe another guy? She once said about the song “Preacher man” as soon as Aretha recorded it she knew by Aretha pausing for a short breath it would completely blow her version out of the water it didn’t of course we lost her far to early, there used to rumours about her heavy eye makeup, she was losing her sight or wouldn’t wear glasses 💜💜

[@AnthonyWard-g9r]

Dusty was SND AND STILL IS unique in every way. Listen to The colour of your eyes please. Completely different but..... wonderful xx

[@bella-xp7qd]

It was her tv show that everyone reacts to, Tom Jones sing I'll Never Fall In Love Again

[@roniboyd613]

More Dusty please!!!

[@MB-pw9mf]

Dusty was one of the greatest singers ever. Actually this magnificent song is one of my favorite songs ever I'm listening to music over 60 yrs. More very good songs by her include I only Wanna be With You, Son of a Preacher Man, Wishing and Hoping, A Brand New Me and more her and Linda Ronstadt do covers as good as the original. Best of success on yr channel

[@granny2012joan]

I haven’t heard this in a very long time, brings back a lot of memories ❤❤❤

[@phyl1042]

Beautiful voice, I just wish the band wasn't trying to drown out her vocals.

[@DrTramp-uu1hh]

It's one of the songs in the "Pirate Radio/The Boat That Rocked" movie.

[@Amaberean]

Damn, doesn’t she remind you of the great Petula Clark? (Another one of your own)

[@melmcquire1611]

Dottie West Forrester Sisters Sweethearts of the Rodeo Charley McClain

[@debibailey2968]

Oh my goodness yes! The Forrester Sisters were one of my favorites!!!!

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

Oddly enough, Dusty didn't like the song and didn't want to record it. She was finally convinced to do it and it became one of her biggest hits!

[@cricketpitts3744]

Wow haven't heard this in a minute ❤

[@Russ_Keith]

Speaking as a life-long Dusty fan with every song by her I could find, I have never heard one that I don't still enjoy listening to. She has sung everything from folk songs to Jazz. I have some favourites and they are not necessarily her biggest hits. She can be dramatic as in this one, sultry as in Spooky, The Look of Love or Tupelo Honey or contemplative as in The Windmills of Your Mind. Her earlier solo work, after "The Springfields" disbanded, was heavily influenced by Tamla Motown and she was instrumental in setting up a special edition of the popular "Ready Steady Go" pop music show in 1965 that was devoted to performances by the members of the touring Tamla Motown show which launched them in the UK, during which she performed with some of the artists. Several of the artists in the tour have said how influential that particular show was in breaking them over here. Although I have gone on a bit, I could probably write a thesis on her and her work but relax, I'm not going to do it here. I would however like to refer you to her album "Dusty in Memphis" as a high point in her oeuvre.

[@BobbiTopacio]

Debbie Ryenalds has sung this song tooit is is wonerfull nds sang hisn

[@charlessaunders6083]

Can't wait till you delve into Marty Robbins.

[@rebeccamccann8710]

Craig has done a couple of Marty’s ballads, My Master’s Call and Ballad of the Alamo

[@Jeri_C11]

I’ve been so used to hearing Elvis sing this, I forgot she did it. 😊😊❤❤

[@boomeister2]

Please react to Dusty's "Son of a Preacher Man" for some blue-eyed soul!

[@rosemariediamond5948]

The version you might recognize is by Linda Ronstat. Very emotional

[@pammiller7754]

Elvis sang this also

[@lelandcross9092]

Derailers song: lost and found

[@maryannanderson2213]

You asked, "Why don't people sing like this anymore?" I think this was a hypothetical question, but I want to answer it anyway. They don't sing like this anymore because they don't have to. Today all you have to do is look good in some skimpy costume and sing and then an engineer on a sound board back at the studio will make the song worth listening to. The person who had the worst audition on American Idol could be autotuned right into the number one song in the land and that is just wrong! As a result of this many modern-day singers have gotten lazy. When Dusty Springfield sang this, there was no such thing as autotune and singers had to stand (or fall) based solely on their own voice so they practiced and practiced and practiced until they got it right. These songs were recorded before a live studio audience and all the musicians and the singers were on stage at the same time and were recorded at the same time. If the harmonica was supposed to fade out, the person playing the harmonica would know when to start playing more softly or he would just casually back away from the microphone. This was NOT something that was fixed back in the studio. You were expected to know your part and do it flawlessly and do it in one take. I live in Nashville and I used to go to the taping of many shows and their performances showed singers at their very best because if they made an error they might have to do another take and that was so expensive that their producers would not have tolerated a bunch of mistakes. Also, when we went to see our favorites in concert they were actually singing. If someone had tried to lip-synch, I think the entire audience would have got up and walked out. If we wanted to listen to the recorded version we could have stayed home and played the record on our record player. Young people today don't seem to know the difference between singers who are autotuned and singers who just had fantastic voices so consequently they do not give the respect for these OLD singers that is due them. I hate that.

[@Tessie46255]

Excellent! ❤

[@ericeisenhart6370]

❤ hey guy i miss u and the dog u dog passed😢

[@darindavis9904]

I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching your reactions. I’ve really enjoyed them! Could you please react to I Miss My Friend by Darryl Worley. Preferably the music video version. Thank you

[@Lfg117]

Way too underrated. Elton John gave her very high praise. In my panetheon of UK music icons - 🔥.

[@Michelle_Crn]

Tom Jones also covered this song and did an amazing job. I love Dusty Springfield but I actually prefer Tom's version.

[@tinajustvig5921]

It reminds me of Karen Carpenter.

[@brettmiller7138]

Elvis did this song after Dusty's original recording

[@michaelthayer1746]

Vikki Carr covered this

[@weslennon3425]

She does a good on "Son Of a Preacher Man", but may be better by Joss Stone.

[@trina0116]

Elvis had a version of this song

[@gix2lee]

Your parents probably played it and you heard it as a child.

[@RockCowboy_00]

Decent version, but I like Elvis' version of this song best.
