Rapid: There are several French versions on KZbin. I forget the names. I understand a little French, taking it in high school and college, a long time ago. It is an incredibly beautiful language. Dusty shows her stuff here. All singers should learn to sing part of it in French. "Do not leave me", Ne me quitte pas.

The "greatest" lady singer of all time!!! And I'm 84 yrs old.......

David Leininger and Duane too- I'm 65 and no singer has ever moved me the way she does. Dusty will always be my number one gal. My father would have been 95 now, and he adored her. We would sit and listen to "our Dusty", together, with tears streaming down our faces, because we just couldn't get over the beauty of her voice. I love that younger people are discovering her! I'm surprised at how many there are. They should be proud of their superior taste in singers.

Dark but hauntingly beautiful, lyrics, melody. Dusty Springfield is my favorite female singer of all time. Rest in peace Dusty. My favorite song of hers is "You dont have to say you love me".

[@cuchelo1]

Some singers are technically wonderful but lack an emotional connection to the material. Some singers miss notes here and there but sell the performance with their interpretation of the lyrics. Dusty had it all- flawless vocals and a great storyteller. She truly was one of a kind. Performers nowadays should study tapes like this as a master class on how to simply stand on a bare stage and deliver it.

[@perdybirdie]

I agree 100%. she was an amazing singer and told stories through song which is what a good singer is supposed to do, and she gave a stellar show even while just standing in the same place. she made every performance her own which is why I love her so much

oj shilinski Yes! I've always loved Dame Shirley Bassey. I don't know how true it is, but someone said that the Welsh people are such good singers because of the way the Welsh language trains them to use their vocal chords. Whatever the reason, there are so many extraordinary singers from Wales!

Ron van der Tuijn ; Yes, best female version( for the best male version, check out Glenn Campbell's live and studio versions. The live performance was a rare clip from a 1960s Bob Hope Special.

By the way, Glenn recently passed away , too. This was my favorite song by him.

I got to spend an evening with Dusty Springfield in 1966. She was in L.A. for something and my friend introduced me to her at a little club, where she sang a couple of songs for the audience. It was totally unannounced and completely wonderful. I remember after we left the club we went to Denny's and she asked for a cuppa tea (it was IRIS tea). Someone came up and asked her name; she looked down at the teabag, then looked up at the person and said, "I'm Iris!". What a hoot! GREAT lady. GREAT talent. Gone too soon!!!
