Yes, Dusty could squeeze emotion from a stone. It was her gift, And make a blue song sound clean. Too bad she didn't do "Teach Me Tonight". Perfect for her.
Everything Dusty did was special. She was her own woman, he own singer. Nobody will ever be like her. Her body movements, her arm and hand movements. He phrasing. A crystal clear voice. Every time I hear her sing, I get chills up up my spine. Ho other singer does that to me.
I'm not a musical person, but she has always intrigued me. Her style and artistic choices never get old. She sung some timeless hits that tug at your emotions.
What a great classic song that still tweaks the strings of my soul when I hear it today just as much as it did when I first heard it back in the 1969 when i was 12!!! Even better to see her performing it.
I was tripping in a London club, many years ago... and they played this as their "one last tune!". Your comment was my exact thoughts at that moment in time.
“Look of Love” is certainly a very sensual song, Michael❗️ It’s unfortunate kids of today really don’t hear beautiful music like what Dusty & so many artists sang years ago.
David, it baffles me. I was still quite young at this time. I remember Bobby Gentry's Ode to Billie Joe knocking The Beatles from #1 in 1967 and I wasn't angry; in fact I just listened and acknowledged her work was unique and deserving. Today some rapper passes The Beatles for #1 songs on Spotify and he and many of the young people of today actually believe that he's more significant than they were. I don't know what many of them are actually listening for in a song today? All I can do is help try and educate some of them like my niece and nephew. I don't bash what they like, but introduce them something with a better melody, song structure, etc. It's finally worked after over a decade of patient and calm instruction. Take care!
@@michaelulbricht9438Your patience & concern is something many older folks don’t bother to have with younger people. You’re helping them, which is highly commendable, Michael. I’m sure they will develop an appreciation for great music from a different time. Music can reflect life & in today’s world there is much negativity & sexual exploitation. The Staple Singers great “Respect Yourself” is a song many should listen to. Keep safe, Michael.
David, ironically I just recently introduced them to Mavis Staples I'll Take You There. Both of them are good people and are intelligent and respectful. My friend, at least I know they'll try and always be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. My Sister and her Husband did a great job; I merely helped out. Thanks for your kind words, and I hope things go well for you!
Watching this video shows just how great of a singer and entertainer she was. Singing from the heart is something you can't fake. Dusty you were and will always be the real thing. RIP
I've loved this song since it first came out when I was a 6 year-old boy, but the thing that I've just come now to really appreciate--all these years later--is that it's not just Dusty's voice but the music, too, that makes it so great. That is one heck of a bassline! And the horn arrangement!
Dude, I’m a totally metalhead dirtbag… like gnarly, obscure black metal type shit. And this is fucking brilliant! That horn section is completely bananas! There’s a couple Lesley Gore songs that have horns like that, but nothing comes close to this.
@@sigurdfenrisson2446 Yeah, man, that's just it! Wherever you come from musically, if you're into it deeply enough, you recognize the brilliance of stuff that happens in genres far outside your own. For me, it's been like acquiring onion layers of appreciation. As a kid growing up listening to my dad's jazz (reel-to-reels of his band and the bands that he was into in the 50s) and really getting into the heavier side of 60s psychedelia, even "borrowing" my older brother's bass to form garage bands in the 70s, it all seemed like magic to me. Didn't matter if it was Sly Stone, Steppenwolf, Atomic Rooster, Deep Purple, Captain Beyond, Stanley Clarke, Frank Zappa, Gentle Giant or James Cotton, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters or those amazing funk bands. There is bluegrass that rocks and classical that is heavier than heavy metal (2 Cellos is probably the most obvious example. And their videos are just so much fun...)
One of the greatest female vocalists of our time. International superstar. Over 25 top 40 hits and thousands of excellent recordings. Dusty was TOO GREAT.
A timeless classic that will survive us. Late 1968. 19 years later when she guested with the Pet Shop Boys on "What Have I Done to Deserve This" her voice changed very little.
+chettee American are always too slow to react, lack of self esteem and play the wait and see game.. just like in Peal Harbour. And in Vietnam, they over reacted with mighty armories
I'm a hard rock/ heavy classic rock guy, but that's the way it's done right there folks. The soul, the soul on down to the moves. She is the original mama and owns this shit. Book it...
When I was 13, my very first boyfriend was the son of a preacher man. I listened to this son all the time then. It still brings back so many great memories of my younger years.
Me...I've always love this song. Had something special happen to me 3yrs ago and it was playing in the background. Now..I play it occasionally...just to remember.💕
On this day in 1968 {November 24th} Dusty Springfield performed "Son of a Preacher Man" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... At the time the song was in its first week on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; seven weeks later on January 12th, 1969 it would peak at #10 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 12 week... Aretha Franklin covered the song in 1970, her version was the B-side of "Call Me", and "Call Me" peaked at #13 {for 2 weeks} on the Top 100 on March 29th, 1970... Sadly, Ms. Springfield, born Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien, passed away on March 2nd, 1999 at the young age of 59... May she R.I.P.
You can't take it with you. Someone once asked me if I wanted fame or fortune. Neither appealed to me. I wanted Peace and love...Amazing sugar magnolia wife ;),9 kids and I got to adopt my autistic brother. All that in 1200 sq ft. I bet your garage is bigger. We all go through the same feelings, just for different meanings. I hope you find what your still looking for. I bet you throw away more than I make. Peace and love
I think she's the most soulful British female singer ever. It's no coincidence that Adele looks and sounds just like her. About the sexiest 3 minutes ever put to record.
@@CurlySuzySue Nope, born and raised in London. Died in Henley-on-Thames. Her father and mother were of Irish descent, as am I, but I’m British, born and bred. Her father had even worked for the British Raj in the Indian Empire. You know, I’m very proud of my Irish ancestry - as I’m sure Dusty was - but I’m not Irish, and would be a total plastic faker if I tried to be. There’s lots of us in Britain
great 60's song, dusty springfield what a singer, and a lady with one hell of a soul voice, always loved her voice, played a lot of dusty when i was younger still do, just loved her music.
I love this song. Never mind that the execution is perfect, as was every song that Dusty sang. My first serious crush was on a girl who was the daughter of a preacher man, back in 1967-68. ❤ Dusty's soulful performance reignites those feelings whenever I hear this.
This song was a theme in my childhood, my Mother had it on all the time. I could close my eyes and I'm 10, sitting in her red camaro to Wyandot lake water park(closed now) as she drops my buddy and I off while she went to work for the day. Only rule was don't leave the park. It took me getting in to adulthood before I realized why she would let some 10 year old kids be alone in a park all day. For the price of a season family pass of 4 she could basically get free babysitting for pennies per hr from about 10a-6pm.
Hi, who else is listening to this great song? It's October 6, 2019. Lilly This song will never go out of date! :) "The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a pizza man"
I am Polish and I am 20 yo, i have nothing to do with her, or place she come from, but i can say that I AM HER FAN, and i wish people will listen to her after 1000 years!!!!1

No autotune..just pure talent. Beautiful voice and a beautiful lady.

The FINEST female singer Britain ever produced. Light years ahead of the competition.

Dusty Dusty Dusty..... good Lord. There will never be another.
Her moves are contagious.
She had a slight rasp in her voice which took her to another level. Listen to her do The Look of Love. It may be the most sensual rendition ever.

There's a segment of Barbara Eden on a 1967 Engelbert Humperdick singing a little jazzed up version with male dancers, but still don't compare 😉

For those that don't know, she went from a 1950's folk group ( The Springfields ) to a sexy soul singer. Not many could do that.
I love the way he dance to the song.. Truly Elegant...
Classic pre disco moves... Yeah.
What a beautiful woman ,great singer, loved her hand gestures.
beautiful voice and beautiful woman..
A timeless classic that will survive us. Late 1968.
19 years later when she guested with the Pet Shop Boys on "What Have I Done to Deserve This" her voice changed very little.
Im a preachers son and I love this song. My ex wife dedicated this song too me when we was together.
bro i feel it, my girlfriend dedicated it to me bc i am a preachers son as well, but we are still together, Big up bro
Beautiful voice!
What a sound - people forget what 'good singing' is. She's amazing !
