Re: Post a Dusty Springfield song
^Indeed. I always like the song. When the US music scene was invaded by the brits, Dusty introduced the Motown sound to England. She became life long friends with Martha Reeves of "Martha and the Vandellas". Preacher's son was written for Martha, but she wouldn't sing it because it was too close to home. She was a preacher's daughter. So she passed it to Dusty who made it a huge hit.
Dusty was an interesting person.
Dusty And Martha... and a few others.

Re: Post a Dusty Springfield song
Dusty Springfield and Cilla Black, two of my favourite British songstresses from the 60's & 70's, got together in 1993 and recorded this number. Heart and Soul ...
I was devastated when Dusty died.

Re: Post a Dusty Springfield song
I loved her!
To me, this is/was Dusty's Greatest album. She was sent down to Memphis, Tennessee to make an album with some of her favorite back-up singers, bands, etc, but she was soooo intimidated that she went back to New York to make the album!
WOW!
............and to show some of her other "Problems":
In her early career much of her odd behaviour was carried out more or less in fun — like her famous food fights — and it was at the time dismissed as merely "eccentric". One story related in her biography tells how, when Springfield first performed in America, she was too nervous to meet the other performers on the bill, so she found a box full of crockery and hurled it down a flight of stairs in order to bring the other performers out of their dressing rooms.
But as the Springfield persona became more and more famous, she was indulged, pampered and spoiled, and plummeted into chronic drug and alcohol abuse. For much of the Seventies, living in Hollywood, Springfield alternately battled mental health and substance abuse issues. When her career imploded, she began to internalise her violent behaviour. The seriousness of her increasingly frequent acts of self-harm resulted in her being hospitalised on numerous occasions. Though she reportedly attempted suicide several times, it was later realized that she was battling with the mental health problem of cutting.
Throughout much of Springfield's career, her sexuality was a matter of speculation. In 1970, she disclosed that she was bisexual when she told Ray Connolly of the London Evening Standard during an interview that "A lot of people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it....I know I'm perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy." By 1970 standards, Springfield had made a very bold statement. The fact that she never married meant that the issue continued to be raised throughout her life from this point onwards, although she stated that she had enjoyed relationships with both men and women "and liked it".
