FIRST TIME HEARING DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - SON OF A PREACHER MAN REACTION

[@paulmason6474]

Dusty was deported from South Africa in 1964 along with her group the Echos as she played to an integrated audience. She had it written into her contract that she would NOT play to segregated audiences. A woman who stood by her principles. Well done Dusty for standing up to something that was wrong.

[@samson9535]

Now, look what is happening in South Africa!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

I LOVE HER

"I need to find me a son of a preacher man" - classic!!!!!!

[@TwistedSither]

Great song! Dusty's voice is so smooth.

[@kevinmarker-cz3bx]

Reach for your dreams..I'm a fan..love your drive..Elvis makes you melt..love the journey

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

When Dusty was recording this in Memphis she was chatting with the others in the studio. She mentioned to the Producer that, back in London, Jimmy Page and John Paul-Jones were starting their own band. On hearing this, the Producer shouted out “get me Atlantic Records lawyer on the phone now”. Altlantic then set up a contract ready for the new band - Led Zeppelin.

[@Mark28644]

A truly great song by the late, great Dusty Springfield. May she rest in peace.

[@topgazza]

Berry Gordy heard Dusty sing and she recorded a soul album in the States. What a voice

[@StarrySkies80]

Thanks, Jayy! I agree about the background singers. It's fun to sing and dance to. One of my faves. And you're welcome! I'm glad to you're going to Graceland!

[@thomassanfrancisco5850]

Another great song and cool reaction. I need to check out more of her.

[@laminage]

She did alot for Black Artists. Her real name is Mary Catherine Elizabeth O'Brien who is of Irish Background. She was in a Group called The Lana Sisters patterned after the Andrew Sisters then she was in a Folk Group called The Springfields then she changed her name to Dusty Springfield. She refused to play for a Segregated Audience in South Africa and she got called The White Negress. She also went to the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) in 1965 and convinced them to do a Special featuring The Music of Motown. It was called Ready Steady Go The Sounds Of Motown. If you can check it out. Other folks whom she worked with was PP Arnold who was one of The Ikettes in the 1960's, she sang with Tom Jones and she like Dionne Warwick benefitted from The Work of Burt Bacharach/Hal Davis who wrote some of her other songs. In The UK, many feel she kicked the door open for the next generation of Blue Eyed Soul Singers like Amy Winehouse (RIP), Jessi J. and Adele. Also if you can check out Ruthanne, Nadine Coyle (formerly of Girls Aloud) Duffy, and Natasha Bedingfield.

[@tamlamotownmagic2646]

Her full name was Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien born on the 16th April, 1939 in West Hampstead, London. Her parents were Irish.

[@tammymcavoy3541]

Her voice still gives me chills ❤

[@827dusty]

Dusty is a British woman, Born in London I think. She had a ton of soul in her. I remember her and Aretha Franklin doing a Duet of a Motown song on a night time TV show, back in the late 1960s. Two great artists singing together. It was fantastic.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

dusty827 Dusty and Martha Reeves were friends.

[@leeoobrien7726]

Dusty (mary o brien) an irish woman born to irish parents emigrated to england

[@dioliv1]

She was instrumental in bringing Motown music to the UK in the 60s and 70s

[@matthawkins8880]

The term Blue Eyed Soul was created for her.

[@stevenator0281]

Aretha Franklin ran into Dusty in an elevator at the record company and said one word to her, "GIRL!"

[@mcol4644]

If I never would of saw what Dusty looked like, I would of thought she was black and American. Not white and British haha. What a voice she had man. This song is such a vibe, I wish I was growing up in the 60s. The music hit differently

[@mattwilliams5386]

This song was in Pulp Fiction...my favourite film ever

[@chloesavoia9919]

This is such a great jam, her voice always boosts my mood.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Great song. Try Shirley Bassey...Goldfinger...Albert Hall

[@kateyoo77]

My favorite! Never getting tired of listening it

I cannot hear this song without thinking of the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction.

[@lesterine77]

Takes me back i middle school when one of favorite movies of all time came out. Pulp fiction.

[@adorable_anarchy2]

Dusty is the best! ❤️. Listen to the rest of that album. I Have Found My Way is incredible. This whole album was so well done.

[@pauljohnson7791]

Your reactions to the lyrics - as each line was sung - were priceless! I already adored this song, but you made it even better!

British blue eyed Soul.

[@sneif24]

I remember this song from Pulp Fiction

[@mikemorgan5394]

It's Deep South southern Gospel soul. Pure Memphis. laid back and done right with no caterwauling. You can almost see the white church and porch of preacher's house nearby.

[@stevechabalik6985]

Do yourself a favor and listen to Dusty sing "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore". A perfect song (written by Randy Newman) given an absolutely perfect performance.

[@vickiroman189]

One of my top 5 faves ever.

[@michaelswords4416]

She was School teacher before becoming a singer.

[@chetpietras8402]

GOTTA review one of her earlier hits from 1964.... "I Only Want to be With YOU"!!!

[@theConquerersMama]

My song with my hubby, the best son of a preacher man ever. ❤️

[@Mark-iv7np]

Never will be another Dusty! Incredible voice. I suggest reacting to Wishing and Hoping, I only want to be with You and A Brand New Me. Won't b disappointed.

[@Mark-iv7np]

One of the greatest singers ever was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Highly recommend reacting to I only want to be With You, You don't have to Say You love Me or A Brand New Me. Oh. Especially Wishing and Hoping so u find a son of a preacher man! Ahahaha 😀

[@louisdiaz9959]

Hi Mrs. Jay Show listen to "The Look of Love" by Dusty Springfield. Mr.Diaz please

They used to call her the blonde bombshell. Beautiful and talented. Gone too young RIP. Try her biggest song “I Only Want To Be WithYou”. Thank you Jay

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Great song!! Jayy, you really need to react to a song by Heart called “Magic Man”! Son of a Preacher Man made me think of Magic Man but from a...different perspective, so to speak. Haha! A bit darker than Dusty Springfield’s song but similar subject matter. 😊

[@ladyshar42]

oooh, yes, do some Heart

[@jasonchace494]

You will love ann Wilson voice from heart

[@-C.S.R]

I kind of heard a little bit of Adele in her voice! So I looked it up just to see if she ever covered this song and then to come find out she’s gonna play this lady in a movie! So I guess I’m not the only one that thought the same thing!

[@Russ_Keith]

Just saw this and now I'm excited. There was supposed to be a bio movie about her a few years ago but it fell through. And played by Adele? The only problem I can see with that is the speaking voice. They couldn't be more different in that respect. If it happens it'll be interesting.

[@-C.S.R]

@@Russ_Keith That’s probably the reason why it never happened and maybe her acting as well? But when she was a bit heavier the luck would’ve been close and the singing for sure!

[@Russ_Keith]

@@-C.S.R Actually her look would be better now. Dusty was very petite and slim. Charlize Theron was to play her and I'm sure she could have pulled off the accent. Not so sure about the singing. Alas we'll never know.

[@teddisk848]

There is another video you should see of the way the way this song should be done. Look up Joss Stone-Son of a Preacher Man from a UK awards show posted 14 years ago. YES!

[@normawinton6832]

Dusty has such a smooth voice

[@kevinarmstrong9034]

Great Reaction as always your expression listening to the lyrics was priceless ☺️

Oh my she had such an amazing voice, one of the best soul singers in the world, if you get a chance to listen to "Kiss me goodbye" it is a personal favorite of mine from her...

She’s iconic

[@petermitchell6348]

When Dusty's records first started appearing in the States, and before anyone had seen her, many assumed she was a lady of colour. Imagine their surprise when a blond haired blue-eyed woman turned up.

[@ChannelUmptyThree]

That's EXACTLY what happened to me

Yeah, it's a great song because it's bluesy, jazzy and slightly funky all at the same time. A sort of coo trifecta.

Gotta watch those preacher boys! You need to listen to Ode to Bille Joe as well.

[@haroldmachroli7038]

This song was offered to Aretha Franklin first. She turned it down cuz she though it was disrespectful, since she was the a preacher's daughter. Although Aretha changed her mind and covered it later. Both versions are great. You should check out Dusty's songs The Look of Love and, You Don't Have to Say you Love Me.

Old dude here. Today's young artists could learn a lesson from this song. It is possible to write a hit song about sex, sensuality, relationships, etc and still be classy and not vulgar for the sake of vulgar. Just sayin'
