The best from Britain. Also the best version of this song. No doubt. Dusty could sing anything and make it her own. She was just amazing!!! ❤❤❤Dusty❤❤❤
Dusty and Martha Reeves were very dear friends back in the day. In fact, back in the '60s, this lovely lady was largely responsible for introducing many Motown artists, and soul music in particular, to Britain, Europe in general, and the rest of the world. There are some clips of her Motown special here on TH-cam. It's unfortunate that, during her life, the world never gave her the credit or appreciation she so richly deserved for bringing so much to the world of music. We owe her so much.
Youngsters of 2013, the reality TV age ... Look at this lady. 1. She is talented. Listen to that voice.. This is a lady that learned her craft and rose up to dominate it. 2. Look at her. Classy. Elegant. Brilliant at what she did.. Absolutely brilliant.,forget leeches like Simon Cowell. This lady was the real deal. 3. Watch her. Learn. And then realise how brilliant she was.
Dear Darling Dusty. I saw her live 3 times. She was just lovely! I think this is one of the very best displays of Dustys pure enjoyment in singing. Those of us who as kids fell for her, have never forgotten those appearances on Ready Steady Go( still the best pop music show EVER) or Guest starring on other shows and of course her own 4 TV series of shows. Bless you , Darling. We miss you, Forever! You gave us more than you realized.
One of my greatest female singers. Definitely could of made Heat Wave as popular of a song as Martha Reeves if she was offered to do it. Martha is another of my favorite singers.
This really is first class stuff. Just been listening to some other Dusty from that period. Taken for granted a bit, but really she was a great singer.
Dusty darling....thank you for all your wonderful musical contributions. You invented yourself and your style of singing....a true original. Also, I own your three CD Box Set (wonderful).
How sad that it's been years since someone has left a positive comment about Dusty Springfield. Damn this woman could sing! I've never heard a song of hers that disappointed me. I understand that she was perfectionist and would sometimes have a syllable edited and re-do it. She originally did Son Of A Preacher Man and after hearing Aretha Franklin's version wished she'd done some of the things Aretha did to the song. If you listen to Son Of A Preacher Man, you'll hear an absolutely perfect song. Aretha's was very good too, but Dusty had nothing to complain about, at least not from my perspective.
Yes. It's called "Dusty Springfield Live at the BBC". I think Amazon and Barnes and Noble carry it in the US...probably in Britain also. It is well worth the price!
@MrHarveyluke I agree with you. before contemporary white singers like teena marie, christina agulerra, joss stone, and even lady gaga, there was dusty springfield giving it to us with her own raw yet soulful rendition. i miss her.
@Mycroftsbrother she used her influence with ATV as it was to produce an hour long RSG special featuring the Tamla stars that were on tour here ( not a very successful tour up to then) Dusty saved the tour and brought Tamla Motown to the wider UK audience.
I'm a huge Linda fan, but you are WRONG about her "teaching" Dusty. This was filmed in the U.K. for Dusty's series on the BBC on 9-12-1967. DS was already established here in the states since going solo in '64. She had respect from many R&B singers since performing with Motown singers at the Brooklyn Fox in '64. In contrast, Linda didn't have her first hit until November of 1967 with the Stone Ponies.Why would producers in the U.K. hire a then unknown U.S folk singer to tutor DS in in R&B?
Dusty is the greatest female singer from England but Linda Ronstadt has a better version of this song. Both Linda and Dusty leave todays singer behind with their great voice that does not need loud music or dancers to hide their lack of talent.
The best from Britain. Also the best version of this song. No doubt. Dusty could sing anything and make it her own. She was just amazing!!! ❤❤❤Dusty❤❤❤
She was beautiful lyric and soul ❤️
She just looks so alive and vibrant here. She also looks like she is having so much fun. It just takes my breath away.

This lady in my view is the greatest female rock/pop/blues singer ever. Breathtakingly brilliant and so beautiful too. RIP Dusty

Oh well said xx
Exactly!
Amen.
And God Bless Dusty, forever.
Couldn't put it better myself. No one can beat the 60's Brit girls - Dusty, Petula, Cilla, Sandie and Lulu. The original girl power!
@@simonleaf2765 Bring them all back !!! Love the female Brits

Very sadly Dusty's final series was wiped by the BBC! I think it was made in 1969!
She was a great one. It was a great time to be about a 12-year-old glued to the transistor radio.
Another underated singer may she R.I.P.
What a voice she had. It's a shame we've lost such a talented lady. She's by far my favourite singer I absolutely love her, her voice is so smooth
This is astonishing . What an incredible vocal talent Dusty was. How greatly she is missed.
Probably from a Saturday night variety programme. Total class that is long gone on British tv. Luckily i'm old enough to remember such class.
Whoever voted with a thumb down on this outstanding performance can sit on it!
Agreed!
Yes. Together with a rusty nail.
Totally agree with you!
great DVD, I own it...Dusty Forever...best female pop singer of the 60's
She is burning this song up! Awesome.
The Motown Sound... Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
Bravo Dusty.
R.I.P.
The greatest white soul singer EVER !! Miss you so much !!
One of my greatest female singers. Definitely could of made Heat Wave as popular of a song as Martha Reeves if she was offered to do it. Martha is another of my favorite singers.
She died too young
The best soul singer. Black or white. Period!
Remembering the wonderful Dusty Springfield who was born 80 years ago today 16th April 1939. Dusty was a huge fan and supporter of Motown.
You ARE 100% CORRECT........ SHE HELP SPREAD MOTOWN MUSIC IN THE UK BACK IN THE 60'S.
I LOVE ME SOME DUSTY........."BLUE EYE SOUL" AT IT BEST !!!!!
This really is first class stuff. Just been listening to some other Dusty from that period. Taken for granted a bit, but really she was a great singer.
What a superb singer she was!
Don't get singers like her..last amy winehouse ❤
The Motown Sound !
Bravo Dusty !
Dusty was always so elegant. A true lady of soul.
What a voice
One of the greatest soul singers EVER.
Dusty darling....thank you for all your wonderful musical contributions. You invented yourself and your style of singing....a true original. Also, I own your three CD Box Set (wonderful).
You're in love. You have great taste.
Amen!
Very special yes she was
Well said❤

Bow down, the GodMother of British Soul.
The top female vocalist of the 1960s,top vocalist of all time and very generous woman to other people and artists.I hope shes in Heaven..
she's in Rock 'n Roll Heaven, no doubt
Magnificent!
The Motown Sound !
Dusty ++++++
I would have had such a crush on her had I seen this in '67. She looks beautiful and owns this song here.
Brit Soul Sister!
Dusty on FIRE!!!
Dusty played at my prom. Great talent.
Lucky you!
Girl can sing...
She embodied the sixties, style, song, and dance.
I couldn't agree more :) Absolutely love this - one of my favourite Dusty videos xx
Love this.
Bless her, haven't seen this before, just like her to do this successfully
wow! wonderful version.
Dusty could sing the phone book!!

BRILLIANT.
The on and only! Nobody but nobody could come close to anything like that voice in the 60 s and 70s. Forever loved and sorely missed.
The woman's got soul.
what a voice! what a feeling! She has SOUL. uhh..no. Maybe SHE is SOUL.
Fantastic !!
Martha and the Vandellas will love this cover Dusty has done on this song.
Thank God we had her !!!
majestic...
TOTALLY AGREE, AMAZING !!
@MrHarveyluke I agree with you. before contemporary white singers like teena marie, christina agulerra, joss stone, and even lady gaga, there was dusty springfield giving it to us with her own raw yet soulful rendition. i miss her.
A silly thing called...Heat Wave!
We're still clapping, Dusty. :)
Best comment!
Oh yeah what a tune xx
She so cute ❤😊YNWA
wow!
Powerful
❤️
I don't remember ever seeing her perform anything quite so up-tempo before. 👍❤
The Queen of White Soul!
Dare I say it but does this out MOTOWN and even out SOUL the original?
At the time, I thought Dusty sung Motown better than some of Morown stars themselves. RIP Dusty & thanks for the music.
the perfect antidote to watching american idol (not that i watch it lol) thanks, dusty!
@Mycroftsbrother she used her influence with ATV as it was to produce an hour long RSG special featuring the Tamla stars that were on tour here ( not a very successful tour up to then) Dusty saved the tour and brought Tamla Motown to the wider UK audience.
💗💗💗
GET A LOAD OF THIS SOULFUL STRUTING CUTIE!....////
Good Song Thanks:)
Wow, this is the loudest I've ever heard Dusty. Usually she barely registers over a very cool coo.
I think at the end she says, "What? No. I'm through with it." Don't blame her. It was an awesome performance and didn't need worn out.
I did not she sang Motown, Pleasant suprise.
If she would had lived in the.u.s.a,she could be motown's singer
@Nicklas4500 Well, then...I only have 3 words for her:
YOU GO GIRL!!!
She does Americona very very good...
God plz bring back Dusty Springfield and we trace you for Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.
Is it me, or is it getting HOT in here?
"The Voice" scores again... 5 stars at least!
She was meant to be a tough lady as well as a perfectionist! very well may be lethal to those who invoke her anger! BUT STICK IT TO 'EM DUSTY!
Jeezus she was the shxt!
I'm a huge Linda fan, but you are WRONG about her "teaching" Dusty. This was filmed in the U.K. for Dusty's series on the BBC on 9-12-1967.

Did she do an album with Motown music?
3 people must got dropped on their heads when they were young where their brain only like Miley Cyrus.
Dusty seems a bit miffed at the end
Obviously wishing the orchestra would stop. It did seem to go on a bit
Better than Martha and the Vandella's version
Sike.
?
Jim Sidwell I would say, as good as. Dusty glorified the sound of Motown and I love her for that.
Phil WHO?
Sorry Phil Collins, but THIS is how you GLORIFY a song.
Any lipreaders here? What does she mouth when the song's over and the show isn't? I think she's a little annoyed! what ya'll think?
Classic case of a cover being better than the original lol
Dusty is the greatest female singer from England but Linda Ronstadt has a better version of this song. Both Linda and Dusty leave todays singer behind with their great voice that does not need loud music or dancers to hide their lack of talent.
I heard the song from Ronstadt first and liked it better than the M and the Vs but Dusty hits it out of the park here
Great job, but nobody does it like Linda Ronstadt....nobody!
What a shame playback
It's not playback, there're background singers who sing with her, but she's singing live although it sounds perfect
