-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
Dusty Springfield used to tell the story of meeting Aretha Franklin shortly after this song was released. They ran into each other in an elevator. Aretha looked at Dusty, put her hand on Dusty’s arm, shook her head approvingly, and said simply, “Girl….” Dusty said it was the best compliment she’d ever received.
🤣
R.I.P. Aretha & Dusty 🙏 ❤
Great story! I had not heard the story before. Thanks!
Aretha recorded a cover.
Great story
“You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” is her best song.
Agree.
Disagree. Wishin' and Hopin' is her best stuff! But, then, it's a bit like eating a dozen glazed donuts and trying to decide which one was the best - They're all good!
The look of love
"In Private" is one of her later songs, but for me, is one of her best.
My Dad's father was a Methodist minister. This was my Mom's favorite song. I can still see and hear her humming and singing it in the kitchen when he was on submarine deployment. Sadly she has passed, but a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing.
‘You Don’t have to say you Love Me’ …… make me well up just thinking about this song…. It’s a must 😊
Awesome song. I had forgotten until you mentioned it.
That’s my favorite, I’ll be singing for a week no! You don’t have to say you love me…I will understand. ❤️
And....Only Want to Be With You.....
Ode to Billy Joe Is a one of a kind storytelling gem. Performed, written and composed by Bobbie Gentry in 1967. Her live version is particularly well done. A film was even made about her story from the song.
I nobody ever really figured out what happened to Billy Joe.
I second this choice.
Agree
Agree
Everybody knows what happened to Billy Joe - he jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. What no one knows - and what Bobbie's keeping mum about - is what Billy Joe and the girl were throwing off the bridge a couple of days before Billy Joe jumped.
If listening to Dusty Springfield means you guys are dipping your toes into the music of British chanteuses like Dusty, Lulu, Marianne Faithful, Petula Clarke and more, I won’t be mad at you.
One of Britain's finest! Should give Dusty's 'Spooky' a listen, another A+ tune.
Just posted the same thing. Spooky is fantastic.
Agreed. Spooky is probably my favourite.
This song -- and the entire "Dusty in Memphis" album -- actually gets better with repeated listenings. I have roughly 600 CDs. If I had to give up all but 10, "DiM" would be one that I'd keep.
Gawd bless The Swampers 😢😎🙌👍
Ah Dusty Springfield, what a voice! Another example of how much soul Brits can have. 😉 check out her version of The Look of Love.
Or her version of Spooky 🎶😎🙌👍
God, I love that song! It's not rock, but I'd like to see them listen to it.
@@tjj300 , there’s more to rock than screaming guitars. It’s as much about talent and attitude, too.not trying to disrespect you, just saying.
@@lisaannbarriner9633 I don't call bossa nova rock music. Do you?
Dusty Springfield is one of my favorite female singers. The next song should definitely be, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me." Others are: "I Only Want to Be With You," "Wishin' and Hopin'," and "The Look of Love." Her covers of, "How Can I Be Sure," and "Spooky" are really good too.
Ohh, I'd LOVE to hear those covers.
I usually hate covers but, there are a few that are done so well that the singer kinda makes it their own.
I've got to look them up!😘👍💖
She had so many great songs.
Those are all very good, but The Look of Love is too good for words.
@@Maydoggie The Look Of Love is absolute 🔥 Her voice in that song is just straight sultry. Her voice in anything that isn't pop driven is like a blend of silk and velvet. I hope the do that song of hers over any other for sure!
A&A, you love her "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" her #1 hit (1966),
and “I Only Want to Be with You” her first hit (1963). These songs show her range and power!!!!
Dusty In Memphis is incredible and I’d highly recommend listening to the whole thing front to back. She chose the songs on it, but they weren’t written by or even for her, and yet the emotion behind her voice always feels so genuine. One of my all time favorite albums for sure.
I was 14 when this song came out, and I don't know a thing about what these young fellows are talking about. All I know is, that I've been enjoying this song for 54 years.
'Dusty in Memphis' is one of the all-time great albums.
This should be like watching kids opening Christmas presents. Can't wait
Dusty will blow their socks off. Lol
Dusty's hits sound rather different from one another. For your next reaction for her, I suggest "I Only Want to Be With You", which is quite different from this, as you might expect since it's from 1963. She also has a pretty and soulful pop ballad called "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", later covered by Elvis. I also hope you hit the song that finished a very strong second on this poll, Carly Simon's "You're So Vain".
All those are great!
"I Only Want to Be With You" is good to see Dusty's development from straight pop to soul and provide a bridge back to the early 60s where you get groups like the Ronettes and the Crystals (and Carole King's writing before she emerged as an artist.)
Classy soul voice that fit's like a glove with the Memphis Sound. Just a unique beautiful voice. Dusty could sing anything and make it sound great
"To fit" is a verb.
Where did you get the idea that a verb needs an apostrophe?
“The Look of Love” sultry like a whisper even the horn solo is so held back, you wanna lean in.
The song is a Burt Bacharach / Hal David composition but Burt loved the way Dusty did it. Also, Dusty was an activist. Love her. ✨🤪
Probably one of the sultriest songs I've ever heard. 😍
"I Only Want To Be With You" is pure pop gold.
One of the best sounds coming out of the 60's. This is S for me, and a generation of women.
Yess S. Guys like it too
Dusty's version of "Spooky" remains my absolute favorite of that song. "The Look of Love" is totally sultry, while the earlier cut "I Only Want to Be With You" is pure mid-60s pop. More!!
Her version of Spooky is incredible.
I’m surprised you didn’t remember that song from Pulp Fiction. Great tune, one of many Tarantino uses in his movies.
Were these kids even born when Pulp Fiction came out?
If you want to jump outside the channel's "comfort zone," Dusty Springfield sang on one of The Pet Shop Boys hits What Have I Done To Deserve This. It's one of their best songs.
Yes! Please react to Pet Shop Boys!!
Regards from Chile!
Because Dusty.😘
Yes. Pet shop boys. About time we got to them.
This is one of my favorite songs 👍🏼
Such a good song, and I particularly love that Neil Tennant wrote that song for her before they'd even met and spent years trying to persuade her to sing it. He wouldn't let anyone else do it. And thereafter they had a nice friendly and working relationship with her until her untimely death x
Dusty’s voice was a whole vibe. It was so, so smooth! Check out “The Look of Love” or “The Windmills of Your Mind” next.
The Look Of Love is just sublime.
Her voice is as silky smooth as you like, absolutely stunning.
I'm a drummer. I love John Bonham. I love Mitch Mitchell. I love Benny Benson. I love Buddy Rich. But when this drummer goes to that ride at the climax, it is hands down one of my all time favorite drum moments in popular music. It's SO effective. Like, just that moment influenced me as a teen when I was learning a lot just as much as some entire artist's catelogues did.
Absolutely nailed it, mate!
"I Only Want to be with You" Is a steamroller of a song. Sandwiched right in the middle of the British Invasion, I was a high energy blast from the other half of the gene pool. Notice the vocal she tosses in at the end of the instumental. Who would have thought of that little tidbit.
She is from England and considered by many the Queen of blue eyed soul. Later in the 1980’s she gained a whole new generation of fans with a collaboration with Pet Shop Boys ,What Did I Do to Deserve This
If you guys want to hear one of the most most beautiful female voices and the sweetest pop production ever, you need to hit some Carpenters. Try "Rainy Days and Mondays (my favorite)," "Superstar," or "Goodbye to Love." In the 70's this music was immensely popular but considered by rock fans to be bubblegum music. But in the years since, most hard rockers have come out of their Carpenters closet and have grown to appreciate the Wrecking Crew's playing, Richard's production and arrangement, and Karen's deep angelic voice, perfect pitch, and drumming. Give them a shot.
“TIME HAS COME TODAY“- The Chambers Brothers Long version, then Live. PLEASE and Thank You
Yes please! That was one of my favorite darkroom songs.
Amen to that suggestion!
Yes!
That's a must.
Great song!
Gotta do "Ode to Billy Joe" and talk about what they were throwing off the bridge. "These Boots are Made for Walking" , "Walk on By" , "Different Drum" great songs to do
The song that came in second on your poll, Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain, really needs to be heard by you gents. MAJOR hit.
I love how open-minded you guys are, listening to music of another generation with such respect and appreciation. Heart-warming! Love you for that!
Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love" is my favourite from her. Thanks.
Yeah mine too but they never listen to women. This is kind of a good ole boys club. I guess women can't appreciate or understand music?
@@eileendobbs8009 "never listen to women"? what the actual F are you talking about? geez, these race- and gender-baiting freaks are the worst!
This! So sultry!
@@robland6804 since I'm such a "freak" I'll just have to unsubscribe I guess. I wouldn't want to hurt your fragile male ego.
@@eileendobbs8009 don't let the door hit you! lol
Hope you hit the close second in the poll - “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon at some point. Some of the coolest lyrics in popular music history.
That's a good point. It's definitely not my favorite Carly - I'd go with The Right Thing To Do - but You're So Vain was one of those songs that was a pop culture phenomenon well beyond its musical success because of the vibe and mystery it created.
"That's the way I always heard it should be" is a favorite of mine
......And some of the most discussed/debated lyrics in music history! 😊
@@Largeagegaplove Definitely!
An incredible piece of garbage...a vain woman singing about the over-the-top vain Mick Jagger! Oh PLEASE!!
Thanks for the good music from Dusty Springfield! RIP Dusty ( she died 1999)
This Classic Became An INSTANT Rock Anthem When Released,, Billy Thorpe "Children Of The Sun" A MUST HEAR!!..R.I.P. Billy 🙏 ❤
Haven't heard it for years, but I want!
TRUTH!!! The guitar work alone is stupendous, in my opinion.
@@lisaannbarriner9633 Agreed.
Just as the bridge is starting, I think it is a sax that comes in low. It just hits me deep in my soul. 💀😍
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!
☮️💟♾️
SHAMELESS BIRTHDAY POST! HAPPY 50th TO ME!!!!!!
An absolute Queen, a microphone and a band.....
I haven't heard that song in ages. Great band behind Dusty's soulful vocals. I would like to see you guys react to the original "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White, another classic radio hit back in the day.
Dusty Springfield born in London of Irish parents. She gained great fame in the UK - first with the band The Springfields (1961-1963) and then as a solo artist with hits like "I Only Want to be With You", "Some of Your Lovin" and a UK #1 hit with "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (a big diva ballad which Elvis had a US hit with a few years later).
She had a particular liking and a great voice for soul tinged music though. Songs like this one, her cover of the Stax family (Hayes, Cropper etc) song "Every Ounce of Strength" and "I'll Try Anything" are very much soul music leaning tracks. Later in her career she worked with various people, such as the Pet Shop Boys in the late 1980s on tracks like "Nothing Has Been Proved" (theme from the film "Scandal") and the excellent "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"
Less soul oriented were her pop tracks like "Am I the Same Girl", The Young Rascals "How Can I Be Sure" etc and hits such as "Little by Little", "What's It Gonna Be" and "Going Back" and the wonderful Clive Westlake ballad "I Close my Eyes and Count to Ten" - of which her performance was copied pretty much note for note by people like Tracey Ullman and Mari Wilson as well as Marc Almond and others.
Along with the Righteous Brothers and The Young Rascals, Dusty was one of first 'blue eyed soul" artists. She was one of the first female champions of integrated audiences, although Alan Freed was the real champion. Dusty was also one of first champions of gay rights in the industry, and demanded inclusivity in her audiences by promoters. I had the pleasure of seeing Dusty around 1965. She was an active, dynamic, and personable performer that liked to create a bond with her audience. Early on she did a Burt Bacharah and Hal David song, "Wishin' and Hopin' ", which premiered the British/European version of a hit first done by Dionne Warwick, and was her first hit as a solo artist. Afterwards her hits were "I Only Want To Be With You" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". She was very reluctant, mostly out of respect for American black artists, to go to Memphis and do the album this came from. But it clearly turned out well, and garnered her respect from artists in this country.
That groove, the horns, the subtle guitar licks, and Dusty's smoky, sensual vocals are sooooooo smooth: The definition of "cool".
That intro is the coolest intro to any song ever. Super chill
Another one of those old songs I wish were twice as long!
Love Dusty You guys are killing it. Thanks again for another great reaction video. Love you both. Love how the music 🎵🎶 touches your souls. ❤️
Dusty, a fantastic voice. 💕💕🎶🎶
Great review! Welcome to the smooth soulful sound of Miss Dusty Springfield. Never surpassed ❤️
An absolutely perfect song. The harmonies are spot-on. The instrumentation doesn't overpower the vocals. And Dusty's rendition has never been smoother or more sultry. Everything completely meshes, and leaves you wanting more.
I love her voice so much. I had heard this song a lot growing up and liked it but it took on a new meaning at one point with a girlfriend who, one night we were starting to fool around and she said what is your favorite song to bang to? And I said probably a CCR song but let me think about it for a minute and then she unequivocally said that at the very top of her list was this song, Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield, and so we put it on and proceeded to have fun, laugh. I will never think of this song in exactly the same way again. 😀
If I played "Son of a Preacher Man" at a radio station, this song would have a fair chance of being played next, Bobby Gentry "Ode to Billy Joe". Jeannie C. Riley "Harper Valley P.T.A." would be 3rd. All southern female vocals from the same era and local.
"Lotta Love" by Nicolette Larson....written by Neil Young.....lovely tune from '78.
Peace from PA ✌
A beautiful voice. A great ambassador for soul music in the UK.
'The look of love' is worth checking out. Dusty's voice is fantastic. Greetings from Holland :)
Glad you experienced the incredible voice of the GREAT Dusty This lady was the shit
The definitive in SULTRY is Dusty doing The Look Of Love. Don’t miss it even if you don’t react to it. You’re welcome.
Remember fellas this was released in 69. The incredible diversity of artists and hits in those days was just the way it was. Same year: Diana Ross & the Supremes, Someday We'll Be Together is another example of those times. Keep up your passion 👏
So glad you’re featuring Dusty Springfield. One of the best ever.
One of her best and a true legend.
Such an iconic hit. Carly next!! Also you should try to check out Harry Chapin too. I think you might like his beautiful writing skills.
Cat's in the Cradle makes me cry every time I hear it. Killed on the LIE driving g a VW Beetle.😪😪 RIP HARRY😻
So glad to see that you guys finally discovered Dusty.
It's worth keeping in mind that "Son of a Preacher Man", and that "Dusty in Memphis" album, come from a bit later in her career. She had already been a massive hit in the UK and much of the rest of the world for several years, with power ballads such as "You don't have to say you love me", "I only want to be with you" and more. She was a contemporary of the Beatles, had her own UK TV show, and was massive before she ever went to Memphis.
The genius of this song and this performance is damned near every cover sounds like the original.
Ode to Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry (1967) has a really sultry/eerie quality to it. Would be a great one for you guys to hit next.
This will have haters for sure but check out the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter has one of the most beautiful voices in popular music and her brother Richard does great arrangements.
Great drummer too!
I completely agree with you Karen Carpenter's voice and she was a world-class drummer but I hated Richard's arrangements to the point of making their music mostly unlistenable for me. She had started working on a solo album without him before she died. I wonder to this day what that would've sounded like... 🤔
Every time I hear " You don`t have to say you love me" I cry!. My mom passed when I was 12 and this was her favorite song!
Same vibe-Bobbie Gentry "Ode to Bille Joe" or "Fancy"
Yyyyyeahhhhhhhh, buddy!!!!!! One of the greatest songs of the 60s. Good choice, fellas.
The memories I have of this song have me in tears laughing every time I hear it. My senior year of high school (late 90’s) we had a talent competition and a guy friend of mine surprised us all by dressing as an old lady (think mama from the “Mama’s House” show), and he lipsanc his heart out! He won hands down, we were all in tears and holding our sides!
Oldies music gives you a feeling that today's music can't ever give you.
Though it sounds like the Muscle Shoals Swampers playing on this, it turns out it was a group of musicians referred to as the Memphis Cats. They played a lot with Elvis as well.
They were known at the Nashville Cats. David Briggs was a member of the Nashville Cats. The Nashville Cats played with Elvis.
@@surlechapeau I'm certainly familiar with the blanket term Nashville Cats, but most every article I've read on the album 'Dusty in Memphis' mentions the backing musicians as the 'Memphis Cats,' who had also played with other Atlantic artists, such as Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett-as well as Elvis. This isn't to imply that there wasn't cross-pollination between Nashville and Memphis with musicians, but both scenes were going strong in the late 60's and it was easier to make money by staying put. To me this is a little like trying to pin down exactly who was a part of the 'Wrecking Crew' of LA musicians, when the people in the Crew couldn't agree on the number of people themselves. All the people in the personnel listing for Dusty in Memphis, including Reggie Young and Tommy Cogbill, worked a lot out of American Sound Studios in Memphis, whose studio crew was known as the 'Memphis Boys,' like Fame recording studio's people were known as the Swampers. It's possible that they coined the term 'Memphis Cats' as a combination of Memphis Boys with certain Nashville Cats to make a hybrid term for the backing band, thus 'Memphis Cats,' but I dunno : just spitballing here. I think this whole confusion really underscores how overall bad studio musician documentation was in the 50s-70s, and unless you were looking at the AFM call sheets for a particular studio session (and you knew exactly which song's session was used on the album cut) it could be difficult to tell.
@@PlateOshrimp499 You are 100% correct, except as far as I know, they were only known as the Memphis Boys, not Cats. But yes, not the Swampers, not the MGs.
A & A - Please consider a reaction to At Seventeen by Janis Ian, despite the 8% on the poll. It is perhaps the most honest and self-reflective song ever written. It will bring you to tears. The low poll performance is really a reflection of the other great songs on the poll.
Yes I agree. It's hard to choose from the great songs they list
It was the best song on that poll. I think it makes people uncomfortable though, so maybe they voted for something that was easier to listen to?
I was one of the 8%. That song has so much meaning and Janis' voice is impeccable.
@@Verlopil Very insightful comment. Thank you.
@@BaseballMom523 As was I. Such a meaningful song.
Dusty in Memphis is an incredible album. There are so many incredible songs. Dusty is one of my all-time favorite singers. She was known as "the white queen of soul". Her range is phenomenal. 24 Hours from Tulsa is a favorite.
I love this song, 'Wishin' and Hopin'" is just as good!
This made my Friday! A little too much Guinness, and now this morning is brighter. Great song! Fine job, gents!
I cannot wait to hit play .. You guys are gonna love this !!
Think you guys nailed it, the reserve and holding back paradoxically makes the song hit harder than it seems it should.
Oddly enough, this makes me think of The Cars' first album, where the New Wave songs hold back a bit, they never unload completely, which to me makes them have even more impact.
You have excellent taste!
I think the reason you didnt give it an A+ because it didnt blow you away where you were shocked. You seemed to love the song and the singing was great. Glad you got to this song finally.
I cannot BELIEVE you have never heard this one! Amazing.
Andy & Alex,, This Song/Group Will Truly Hit You Both Different,, The Stranglers "Golden Brown"
Springfield's solo career began in late 1963 with the upbeat pop record "I Only Want to Be with You" - a UK no. 4 hit, and the first of her six transatlantic Top 40 hits in the 1960s, along with “Stay Awhile” (1964), "All I See Is You" (1966), "I'll Try Anything" (1967) and the two releases now considered her signature songs: "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966 UK no. 1/US no. 4) and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1968/69 UK no. 9/US no. 10).
Nice reaction guys!! Enjoy the conversation!🤘🔥
Those bell hits on the ride cymbal, pure heaven.
The Buoys "Timothy"..A MUST HEAR That Caused HUGE Controversy When Released,, But Would Become A Big Hit For Them.
Agree...I suggested that months ago on the request for One hit wonders....wonder what happened to that thread?
STOP! Totally unfair to steer these innocents towards Timothy. While It is my #1 absolute favorite "so bad its good song", followed closely by Bloodrock's DOA, and Ziegler and Evans - In the Year 2525, It is cruel sadism to recommend these sonic trainwrecks unironically!
@@Phiiy5 Absolutely. One cannot listen to any of those without proper preparation and context.
All her songs r great. That voice!
One of my all time favs...ever. Has everything perfect about rock n roll...bluesy, sexy, subversive. I was around when it came out...and its still so relevant today
Classic track from Dusty. The entire album is worthwhile - probably her best all around effort.
So enjoying the great music you 2 have been reacting to lately. Hope this trend continues : )
She was born in England, you would never know it listening to her!
Dusty had that smokey, soulful voice. Incredible!
Music from this era was just on another level!
She was a top star back in the sixties. We listened to her a lot.
Loved this song growing up. I humbly suggest Ode To Billy Joe by Bobby Gentry, another great storytelling song.
Just wantin you guys to know that I’ve been listening to ‘Feel The Love’ for 3 years now since I found your channel! 😆🙌 Been a minute for me, great one to start with! ✔️🎶💃
Just another great song from the wonderful 60's, my teenage years.
This song is on my playlist....Love this song for many years!
Listen to Dusty Springfield singing Going Back. Beautiful lyrics
What's so crazy is the Dusty is British, a Londoner. She's so soulful and gets that grit sung well!
Almost brings tears listening to this. It's just SO freakin' good. That makes is S for me. If it's that good... come on...
"Windmills of Your Mind" is another must.
