FIRST TIME HEARING Dusty Springfield - Only Want To Be With You REACTION

[@teethang1]

"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is a must AND "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" when she teamed up with the Pet Shop Boys is an absolutely HAVE TO!

[@SLam-ve3yp]

I love her song All I See Is You.

[@gertrudewalker6882]

Oh definitely 😃

[@escapingreality3306]

You beat me to it @teethang1! Yes this is my favourite Pet Shop Boys song. I especially love Dusty's solo (vocal, she isn't playing electric guitar, although maybe she could at the time, no idea 😉). I like the music video as well.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

The Look of Love is super relaxing

[@Shane-Flanagan]

@Penderyn The Pet Shop Boys dull???

[@bradsullivan2495]

"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is a prime example of Dusty's powerful voice. That's next up, right?😁

[@randyem6910]

My favorite song by Dusty.

[@Peggi109]

I hope!

[@victorcowboywest]

Check out "WISHIN' AND HOPIN",THE LOOK OF LOVE".

[@garywheeler6665]

She was insanely good throughout her long career. I loved her singing back then and I believe she led the women of the British invasion. Just a remarkable talent all-in-all.

[@MrRedjack12]

that song is pure killer! the emotion in her voice is amazing.

[@Shrykespeare]

The late, great Dusty Springfield. What a tremendous talent. I hope that at some point you will do her duet with The Pet Shop Boys, "What Have I Done To Deserve This?". For more of her 60s stuff, you can react to "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", "All I See is You", or "Wishin' and Hopin'". Thanks for reacting!

[@marietheresahughes2911]

Yes one of my favourite collaborations ❤🌟❤ Pet Shop Boys 😊

[@pilesovinyl]

Damn straight dude.

[@brianherrington7226]

Her cover of Anyone Who Had A Heart is my personal favorite.

[@Teletran35]

I loved when she was with the Pet Shop Boys

[@brianherrington7226]

Hey everyone look a troll

[@mariaportengen2959]

Back in the sixties again. Those were the days. A great singer is Dusty. 💕💕🎶🎶👍

[@marybaillie8907]

Only Dusty could pull at your heart strings when she sang. You Don't Have to Say you Love Me Wishin and Hopin Son of a Preacher Man The Look of Love One of the best of the British Invasion females along with Petula Clark , Cilia Black, Lulu, etc Glad you both enjoyed her. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@RIXRADvidz]

You're so Sweet. no pun intended. genuinely a nice person. Bigg Huggs !!

[@sallybannister6224]

She is just amazing but actually her roots are Southern Irish, not British . But any way she is just fantastic and so brave being the first female superstar to come out as being gay, very unusual back then. She actually started out in a group called the Springfields, not sure, family members maybe . Her real name was very Irish sounding

[@gorblimeyguv]

@@sallybannister6224 I don't think she ever actually "came out" as in publicly proclaiming her sexuality. It just became known who she was and she never denied it. It was pretty much an open secret as I remember people saying she was lesbian when I was at school in about 1970. She was a truly great artiste and by all accounts kind, modest and a really lovely human being.

[@marybaillie8907]

Never knew she was Irish or gay!!! Just knew I loved her and music. Lol 👍✌️🇨🇦

[@surlechapeau]

J & Amber, you'll love her "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", "The Look Of Love" and "Wishin and Hopin' "!!!

[@sheilameyers152]

Dusty has a soulful sound!

[@sarablack2547]

Great picks!

[@surlechapeau]

@@sarablack2547 thanks!

[@ggvno167]

The Look of Love is a must!!

[@daddyguerrero]

Dusty has some very bluesy and soulful songs in her repertoire. Have to hit The Look of Love and You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me.

[@easyrolling]

She was a legend. The first lady of the BrItish invasion .RIP.. She hit it big here about the same time The Beatles did.. What you need to do is react to the other queen from back then and that is Petula Clark, Downtown is a must.. super reaction as always

[@jeankelly4492]

One of my first memories as a child was this song playing in the car as mom was driving downtown! I was born in '64 so it must have been a few years later and still popular.

[@drumdust]

Yes!!!!!

[@susieq9801]

Pet Clark was terrific too. You've GOT TO sing along with "Downtown".

[@gmRandy1530]

So so many hits from this woman

[@Isleofskye]

"All I See Is You" "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" and " Baby Blue/How Can I Be Sure? Middle Of Nowhere/ I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten"/The Look Of Love/ Little By Little/Some Of Your Lovin/Wishin' And Hopin'' and my favourite " Going Back" :)

[@turnerdan53]

Dusty was part of the female British Invasion along with Petula Clark. You need to listen to Petula also. Her songs Downtown, I Know A Place and Don't Sleep In The Subway were all big hits in the early 60's

[@tomschmitz261]

don't forget "this is my song" and "eternally"...

[@bethmiller1840]

I vote for Downtown. It's the very first song I remember singing in the car when I was very little.

[@Dreyno]

@@bethmiller1840 Downtown. Featuring Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Vic Flick (James Bond theme) and Big Jim Sullivan (almost everyone) on guitar.

[@mthivier]

It wasn't as bit a chart hit as some of Petula's others, but I alway loved "Who Am I?", which I always thought was such a quintessentially '60s song.

[@douglassellers7528]

Son of a Preacher Man! Play it please!

[@garywheeler6665]

Dusty was the British "Queen of Pop". She had a bunch of hits in the '60 and '70s. IMO her best stuff came from an album she did in Memphis. That gave us "Son of a Preacher Man".

[@markfadness9204]

Another one of my favs -- good picks today! "I Only Want To Be With You" (1964) was Dusty's 1st single to chart in the U.S on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking @ #12. Part of the British Invasion ignited by the The Beatles at the beginning of 1964. One of the key British Invasion female singers to successfully hit U.S charts, along with Petula Clark). Dusty charted 19 singles on the Billboard Pop chart, 4 reached the Top 10, zero #1s (a 1987 collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?," charted highest, peaking @ #2 for 2 weeks) .

[@mrb4749]

Dusty was one of the greatest singers ever was inducted into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame shortly after her passing. You don't have to Say you Love Me really shows her range. This was great. A Brand New Me is another great song. Also noted fot doing covers as good or better like Linda Ronstadt. Am I the Same Girl, Don't Make me Over by Dionne Warwick, did a duet with Tom Jones I'm gonna Make u Live Me. Terrific 👍

[@michaelrizzuto820]

Please react to "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" by Dusty. Nothing but class from a classy lady with one of the best voices ever. God Bless and RIP Dusty.

[@johnthewiz]

Dusty- a British institution and a voice that just makes you wanna dance.

[@mattshaw6180]

Dusty Springfield's versions of "Spooky" and "The Look of Love" are SO SULTRY, you'll be breathless!

[@sazguest]

Spooky is such a cool song!

[@loradavis7040]

yes. Spooky ❤

[@21paulst]

The Look of Love really brings her vocals to the foreground.

[@simply_psi]

They are both such great songs and really explore her vocal talent.

[@AdmiralDonkey]

I always find it strange that nobody mentions 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself' when Dusty is brought up. One of my favourite tracks of hers and a fantastic showcase of her incredible voice.

[@alberthall1456]

I was one of the many teenage boys who was in love with Dusty. And, of course, I knew she was singing this directly to me.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Queen of Blue Eyed Soul thanks for coming back to her

[@pttp5509]

You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me and The Look Of Love are her absolute best! They really showcase her vocal talent

[@reneemallicone6839]

Love Dusty. She died 13 days before her induction into the R and R Hall of Fame in 1999 of breast cancer. She was only 60. She was great! Awesome voice!

[@jeffduke70]

Dusty has a beautiful voice. "I just don't know what to do with myself" is another good one by her.

[@christinelegate8137]

Great choice. Dusty was an amazing singer and was known for soulful voice. She appeared on Tom Jones TV show a few times around 1969 and they did some great duets.

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

This is an example of why previous generations were happier than today’s. There are a ton of examples of songs like this that do nothing but put a smile on your face. It doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t have any negative overtones to it. It’s just somebody happy singing about why they’re happy - and you feel happy hearing it. 😊

[@petercourtien4581]

I think you’re on to something. Music is magnificent. I feel sorry for those that don’t know that.

[@tgforty5]

The next one should be "The Look of Love." One of the most sensual performances ever recorded.

[@jeffmorse645]

Dusty had such a great voice. Early 1960s - it was her first hit. I love this song and her look. Stuff from that era was so bright, upbeat and optimistic.

[@mikec3853]

Yay! You guys are really hitting it out of the park this week. I love what this song brought out in you guys! It's what sets you apart from others in a great way. Dusty does have plenty of great songs, soulful gems like "Some Of Your Lovin'", slow seducers like "The Look Of Love", big ballads like "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", " I Close My Eyes and Count To 10' Upbeat pop in the vein of this with "I'll Try Anything", "Stay Awhile", "Magic Garden". Plus so many others! You can't help but love Dusty! I would say "Some Of Your Lovin' " and "I'll Try Anything" would really appeal to you.

[@bradsullivan2495]

This came out in 1964 (when she was 24) and managed to become a hit despite the onslaught of Beatlemania that year.

[@BillGraper]

I can't believe this! I heard this on a classic Casey Kasem from 1982 about an hour ago. It was a long distance dedication. I wanted to request this for Female Friday... and then you put this video up. Pretty awesome! This is a great sounding 60's song. 😎

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Dusty was the original British Invasion...this song came out about 3 weeks before the Beatles debuted their 1st song, I wanna hold your hand. Yes this was colorized afterwards.

[@glennk1931]

“Wishin and Hopin” is another beautifully arranged and sung by Dusty.

[@timjester8555]

Yes, definitely.

[@kateritter5765]

A song we all need to hear - "What The World Needs Now Is Love" Jackie DeShannon

[@mbsmith2197]

I agree! Beautiful song and means even more today.

[@marybaillie8907]

She was on tour with The Beatles in 1964 and she sang this song in Toronto. Beautiful song. 🎶

[@bethmiller1840]

Great suggestion!

[@teresajarrell452]

yes we do! ❣️😃👍

[@Eric-ms1ry]

And much later ...in the early 80s Jackie ( a physically sexy lady like Dusty) co wrote virtually the biggest selling song of the year........Bette Davis' Eyes

[@janiceduke1205]

She died after a five-year battle with breast cancer at the age of 59 in 1999. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later that year. Her fans hold "Dusty Day" every year in London to remember her music and raise money for breast cancer research.

[@bosgaurus1]

Her song *_The Look Of Love_* is AMAZING! The original recording is so clean and precise that professional audiophiles have for nearly 50 years used it to diagnose, calibrate, and set up their systems. This is the version from the 1967 movie Casino Royale (a spoof of Bond movies). The song was nominated for an Oscar and is in the Grammy Hall of Fame. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXWwhWmrjtp3rK8

[@alexandervasel6845]

You are so right. A truly great song!!!

[@maureenormston1687]

This is my absolute favourite of hers.......sultry, smoky, sexy .....oh and that sax......it’s sublime ❤️

[@robynsmith3040]

Another great one from Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

Yes yes yes!!

[@johnreilly9452]

Absolutely yes I love that track, sheer perfection

[@debrabeck9630]

Dusty also covered Leslie Gore’s song, You Don’t Own Me. I loved that song by both women. Powerful!

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Dusty was considered pop/blue eyed soul as her genres. She had a remarkably (seemingly at least) long career for someone who sadly passed very young. She died from a recurrence of her breast cancer just months before her 60th birthday. She was later inducted into the rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and her friend Elton John did her induction. He called her the best white singer he had ever heard. incredible talent.

[@3John16]

DUSTY. Her style and voice were one of a kind! LOOK OF LOVE ☆ JUST A LITTLE LOVIN ☆ WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND ☆ Live

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Oh and you must hear her 80’s duet with Pet Shop Boys, What Did I Do to Deserve This. The song reacted to last time was Son of a Preacher Man

[@garfield122010]

For a powerful performance, you should do '' I close my eyes and count to ten '' my favourite track of hers, dusty was one of the best ❤❤❤

[@twenty3enigma]

This came out on Nov. 3, 1963 -- so toddler that I was -- I remember it from being on the radio EVERY summer through my early childhood.

[@jeromecabral192]

Thank you for sharing . The color of the video back then was in Technicolor. The camra tubes in the camera had rare earth phoshors on the screens that made the color brilliant than ones used today

[@redflamered]

One of the most perfectly produced songs of all time. You can literally hear every instrument. Springfield's vocal is also perfection.

[@guyfaux3978]

Beats Phil Spector's Wall of Sound hands down.

[@danm9006]

Dusty's brother Tom was a song writer. One of his songs was performed by The Seekers, "I'll Never Find Another You." If you haven't done a reaction video for The Seekers, check them out.

[@Thoseweekendgolfguysradioshow]

Y'all need to do "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" by Dusty. Its one of the best songs ever written

[@TheOtherBill]

The song gets even better when you read the story of how it came to be. Sorry I no longer have the link but it's worth searching for.

[@rwschumm]

Classic '60's sound! Remember it well, listening to my small portable transistor radio, waiting for my favorites to be played! :) Excellent Choice, just listen to Dusty and How the Violins SOAR! :)

[@woodyheyward4143]

For those who don't know, Dusty Springfield was more than a singer. She is responsible for so many different people making it in the music industry. She was known to be selfless and always standing up for different artists trying to make it. She was truly a gracious lady. As a teenager in the 60's, her music was everywhere. I loved her then and still love that voice today. Take the time to learn about her. Truly worth it. Love and peace my friends.

[@motta3838]

R.I.P DUSTY

[@erict956]

Dusty's voice was simply amazing

[@richardcummins5465]

This was actually Dustys first hit, after going " solo " Previously was part of The Springfields trio singing folk and Country music .

[@penname5766]

To my mind, this is one of the best songs ever written. It manages to be one of the most upbeat songs you could find, and yet simultaneously moving. It’s also just one hell of a tune.

[@andyanderson3628]

She recorded in Memphis for a famous album. "Son of a Preacher Man".

[@DavidJohnson-yq4nz]

Any song by Dusty is just so fine

[@DickyMint51]

They should listen to to “Son of a Preacher Man” 😊

[@DavidJohnson-yq4nz]

@@DickyMint51 Agree totally

[@JonHammerHeart]

Such a happy, up song! Makes you want to move. Great arrangement musically and Dusty soaring over it all! Pure bottled joy!

[@kimcutts6153]

Great reaction guys. Another great female singer/song from the 60s is "Downtown" by Petula Clark. I really think you'd both like it. 👍 🎵🎙💖

[@glenonoko4918]

Yes, Petula Clark's "Downtown" has my vote too!

[@MN_Cozy]

Yes please!!

[@cspaikido]

She could literally sing just about any music genre around at her time, rock, country, pop, blues, jazz, and anything else you could think of.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

“You don’t have to say you love me” is her best!

[@joel65913]

A very fun song and a tremendously talented woman. Love that you are exploring the performers with multiple samplings though there are still many great talents that you haven't gotten to yet with even a single listen. Dinah Washington, Rosemary Clooney, Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, Helen Reddy and Judy Garland-the 100th anniversary of her birth is coming on June 10th and she has so many great recordings (Old Man River, The Man That Got Away, The Trolley Song, Battle Hymn of the Republic etc.) besides Somewhere Over the Rainbow-among them.

[@tomsperduti2967]

Dusty Springfield was the White Queen of Soul.

[@brianherrington7226]

Her first hit in the pop charts. Many don’t know that Dusty was originally a folkie with The Springfields with the tune Silver Threads and Golden Needles.

[@juliethompson5160]

Absolutely! She was in The Springfields with her brother Tom, who was a songwriter. Thank you for including this one.

[@jackiesconiers4230]

Thanks for this! My Mom and I danced around cleaning the house with this. Smiling from ear to ear!

[@christineobrien7707]

It's a catchy little ditty. It puts a smile on my face too 🙂

[@wordstowordlessthings]

If you want gorgeous, otherworldly, mesmerizing Dusty, you gotta do Windmills of Your Mind! Probably a lyric video as they're pretty intricate.

[@ernierivas5484]

"The Look of Love" - another great Dusty song ...

[@georgecharles941]

when I was growing up in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's there was a whole array of rich music...excellent!

[@annas9131]

Her most beautiful song is The Look of Love. Her voice and the way she can express feelings with her voice in that song is just great. Completely different from the songs you heard so far.

[@garrythomson6006]

I was so blessed to grow up in the sixties , thank you lord , sixties music so upbeat. Dusty and Petula Clark were such a huge part of the British Invasion

[@jimyoung6271]

"You don't have to say you love me" and "Just don't know what to do with myself" are two of my favourite Dusty Springfield songs.

[@curtisnieskes773]

Listen to Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt's duet " I don't know much (but I know i love you)" .Probably the best duet ever. Do the live version 1990 Grammy Awards. Amazing!!

[@teresajarrell452]

YES! YES!! YES!!! They ❤️ LINDA RONSTADT, but they haven't heard AARON NEVILLE. I ❤️ AARON NEVILLE!! two perfect voices 👍😃❣️

[@FelixcatGarcia]

In this same time frame, you had Petula Clark's "Downtown" a lighter pop sound, and Cilla Black's "You're My World" with more power still, both brits. SO MUCH MUSIC SO LITTLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@walterrutherford8321]

I associate Downtown with Windy by The Association (no pun intended). I think they often played on the radio around the same time.

[@bingbong7316]

There's a vid of Cilla doing "Anyone Who Had A Heart" live, right back at the beginning, that's phenomenal.

[@graceholaday4793]

The Look of Love is a must listen from Dusty.

[@mosesruiz9813]

Dusty Springfield! What a talent! So soulful! Dusty was close friends with Martha Reeves of the Vandellas and was instrumental in popularizing Motown music in Britain. She performed many Motown songs by various artists.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..Such a Catchy sweet summer song!..Absolutely 100!!

[@shanenolan8252]

I love how she dances during the instrumental.

[@rayutube]

I remember hearing the Bay City Rollers version of this song in the mid 70s but lately, I've been listening to The Tourists' 1979 version sung by a pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox (alongside Dave Stewart), which I completely missed back then.

[@johnreilly9452]

Her major international solo breakthrough track. Dusty was the premier iconic female pop star to come from the UK in the 60s A unique soulful, yet soft and smoky voice. Theres a cover of a Charles Aznavour song she covered called Yesterday when I was young, absolutely beautiful.

[@mikeat2637]

Dusty Springfield was one of the finest singers of her generation, and you have to check out more of her songs.

[@christianmattison6096]

I was head over heals in love with Dusty Springfield when I was in 6th grade! She still sounds great over 50 years later! :)

[@sixletters9759]

The first time I've ever hit the thumbs up before even watching a video. Dusty is one of my all time favorites ! You have to do "The Look of Love" next. Dayum, she is so sultry singing that song.

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

This one alone was huge for her, Dusty was 1 of the greats of British female recording artists including hosting her own tv show during the latter 60's - back then you only got that on true talent and being very special, unlike its more general free for all of who gets their own show these days based on more dubious genuine factor of that. To this day Dusty remains one of the most respected and highly regarded vocalists of all time adored by her fellow peers back then in her era, and even now by later artists (hence how the 90's collaboration with Pet Shop Boys came about). She and Cilla Black were also great friends.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Now go explore the Dusty Springfield Universe, her music, her times, the way she evolved in her sound, then emerged into the 80's scene with the Pet Shop Boys. Dusty is a Goddess in Pop Music where are lot of people are concerned, she defined an era, with that Voice.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

"I Only Want to Be With You" was Dusty's breakout debut hit in 1963. Check out these other Dusty hits: "Wishin' and Hopin'," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," which was her one and only #1 hit, and her incredible take on a classic that many others have recorded, "The Look of Love," but hers is one of the best. If you've already done "Son of A Preacher Man," then you've done her best song. But these others are excellent, too. Dusty Springfield was one of the best parts of the British Invasion. Gone much too young.

Another great one from Dusty is, A Brand New Me, a great tune. She’s a great singer!

[@blackprix]

One of my favorite female vocalist of the time loved her… Very talented

[@helgar791]

I saw Dusty once about 1965 here in NYC. She did this and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". She was a dynamic, personable, and exciting performer. Dusty was an advocate of integrated audiences, which were not common at that time, and an early advocate for LGBTQ rights. Her version of "The Look Of Love" was a popular audiophile hit, and was played at most HiFi shows during the late 70's and 80's. One of the great singer/performers of her time. We miss you Dusty.

I bought this record when it came out and I still love it.

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

[@PickleBoot_Arts]

The classic British Invasion sound from 1963. For a similar singer, try Petula Clark "My Love" or "Downtown."

[@bradsullivan2495]

You previously reacted to the Bay City Rollers' 1976 cover of this song. This is THE best version.

[@rileyandmike]

Colorized means it was originally in black & white

[@jodytollefson7187]

I love how this song is so open and how the love interest can be anyone since Dusty was a lesbian and anyone in the lgbtq+ community today can feel included with this song from 1964. Samantha fox did a cover of this song in the 80s and like Dusty Samantha is a lesbian.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

Her version of "Spooky" is fantastic

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

This is my all time favorite Dusty Springfield song. This song was a hit while The Beatles were dominating the charts. I was in junior high when this song was on my favorite AM radio station WABC in NY with Cousin Brucie!

[@nickpalmer3076]

Dusty's first record.Truly soulful.
