I totally agree that the bass and the drums are absolutely amazing but I would also add that the production of this song is so good and if you hear it in stereo and pan it hard left you’ll see there’s no drums there but if you pan it hard right you’ll see there’s no bass there so it was very interesting the way they mixed it
Tommy Cogbill was the bass player and was in a class of his own. He played bass on many classic songs. Kentucky Rain (Elvis) is also a great bass line.
True but the bassist did go to the 5 chord to early in the bridge 1:24 ,pretty sure it was a flub and they decided to just leave it in and not redo the track
Someone knew how to produce a song. Distant horns, clear bass, background chorus, drums, everything flawless. With the right voice and the right song. All the planets aligned in that studio.
Hope all is well with both of you. Btw I’m the 2cd son of 5 boys from our pops, The preacher man. We’re all in our 50s now and when this song came on we all just gave each other a look. Until I said you know we all got a big demerit in the big check list in the sky.
Oh, your not the only one. This song takes me back to my first love when I was 14 yrs old in hillbilly heaven Chicago I'll. Still love it. And I'm 66 now.
My ex wife used to sing this to me as my old man was a night club owner and promoter who became a preacher when I was about 17. RIP Lisa....we never made it but I never stopped caring about you baby.
Just imagine you're a teenager at some house party in the 60s and you just smoked a joint and then this comes on the radio and you hear this song for the first time. I bet it was an amazing time to be alive !
@@nickscarfo6616 thank you; I need to sit and watch Pulp Fiction again, it’s been too long. I’ve just always loved this song and it has always been ranked high in my list of favs. I loved the music in Tarantino’s ‘Hollywood’ movie (with Brad and Leonardo); great movie, imo. Also, music is great in Forest Gump and Platoon,…
Dusty Springfield was an all time great, no one could lay down a soul joint vocal like her, with the exception of the legendary Aretha Franklin, of course. The two best vocalists of that '60's and '70's era, and Dusty's great songs and performances are still brilliant to this day.
I was 13 years old when I first heard this song on Top Of The Pops - Dusty In Memphis was a commercial failure at the time [ 1969 ] but now it's regarded as one of the finest albums ever recorded , not difficult to see why - Dusty would be headlining nowadays filling stadiums and festivals worldwide - you never know what you've got until it's gone . Without Dusty there'd have been no Adele , no Amy Winehouse , no Paloma Faith . What a voice that lady had .
That is ridiculous. Adele, Amy Winehouse, Paloma Faith, etc owe infinitely more to the Black singers Dusty tried to capitalize off of than to Dusty herself. If there were no Dusty, those women you mention absolutely could have still had the careers they enjoyed. But take away Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Diana Ross and the Supremes, and then Adele's, Amy's, and Paloma's careers become literally impossible. This song is iconic, and Dusty does a wonderful job with it, and she had a very good career. But the white British women you mention didn't owe their success to her, unless you're saying she proved white British women could record decent, commercially successful music that copied the sound of Black American women.
Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered around and started talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin' Out through the back yard we'd go walkin' Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows, to my surprise The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was Bein' good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right" He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right" Can I get away again tonight? The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was) How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealin' kisses from me on the sly Takin' time to make time Tellin' me that he's all mine Learnin' from each other's knowin' Lookin' to see how much we've grown and The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man (The only boy who could ever teach me) Was the son of a preacher man (The only one who could ever reach me) Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
The great love of my life, was indeed the son (the only son) of a Preacher Man. Tommy, gave his devotion to me. I was three years older. This was 39-years ago and our love for each other was considered taboo then. His father never would have approved, but Tommy's dear and beloved mother knew and only wanted our happiness. This was barely 11 years after the Stonwall Riots. Yes, Tommy was the LOVE of my life.
@@ChristopherDavis-uh1gq You having a laugh? You really don’t know this stuff? Or know how to research it? Okay, I’ll do it for you. Be back in a bit…. But in the meantime think about this. You’ve heard of Country and Western music and Bluegrass, right? White people’s Hillbilly music…Well, they evolved from American folk music which evolved from, amongst other things, from Celtic folk, and were all over the South at the same time the Blues and Gospel were evolving. It was a very incestuous time, musically speaking!
@@ChristopherDavis-uh1gq TH-cam is taking the piss. Not only won’t they allow links to be posted, they binned any replies that simply mentioned the name of the wiki pages!! The worst thing that ever happened to YT was Google buying it.
This brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in the 60s listening to my older sisters singing these songs. When I heard Dusty's voice again, I cried like a little girl. I did not know it was such a big part of me.
Don’t forget the amazing bass line. Living higher up toward the treble than usual and going all but out of control again and again, as if wild child Billy Ray the Preacher’s son himself were playing it. Maybe that’s exactly what it was intended to evoke.
Production. Performance. Recording. Everything about this track is perfect. I love how the groove is at once heavy and understated. It's so tasteful. The American Sound Studio house band, man... Their pocket was just so good. It blows my mind.
I always love Dusty Springfield. Her voice is unforgettable! She's beautiful and talented. I use to drive my mom mad listening to her in the radio very loud and do my homework. I miss my Beloved Mom. I also heard Dusty Springfield had passed...💐🎵💞
One way to know a song is good is when your at a stop light on your harley playing this and two old ass woman start dancing on the side walk. Greatest thing I ever seen.
This makes me cry. My dad always played this stuff. Then he left and took his records. Took me twenty years to find some album called “DUSTY IN MEMPHIS”. I thought they had bad weather and a great singing lady. Turns out DUSTY SPRINGFIELD WAS IN MEMPHIS WITH THE MEMPHIS HORNS. COMPUTERS HELPED ME FIND HER
I know it's now a well-worn cliche to enthuse about how much you love Dusty in Memphis, but god damn that is a truly great album of American pop music goodness
DUSTY DID IT THE BEST !!!! HEARING THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME GOT YOUR ATTENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTION AND YOU WANTED MORE...SO CLEAR AND HEARTFELT WAS HER VOICE...IT FOSTERED UP EMOTION IN AN INSTANT...THE FEMINE VOICE DID ITS WORK ...IT JARRED YOU.
Dusty Springfield’s vocal on this is so incredible and it is accentuated so brilliantly by the unbelievably tight sound the band are creating to support her. This is not my favourite song of all time, not by a long way. The songs people love the most are those ones which tell us a story that strikes a chord as well as being brilliantly performed. This song doesn’t really tell me a story, but man oh man is this for me hands down the best song I’ve heard in terms of how musically tight each member is together and for that reason I love it so much
There's no way to listen to this song and not feel like the coolest person in the world. Lord help you if you happen to have your headphones in while in public and this song comes on, because it takes over you, and you _have_ to dance. You have no choice. You're not in control of your body at that moment.
I have 5 Chihuahuas and the 2 puppies I got last month are OBSESSED with this song. The first time I played it they were 8 weeks old and they started yapping and making sounds now at 12 weeks they straight up howl, they are OBSESSED and if I sing along, FORGET IT. I don't even have a good voice it's just they are that obsessed.
It's funny how Dusty makes the relationship sound sweet while other renditions give the image of a wolf in sheep's clothing, a bad boy who cannot be resisted as he tempts you astray. But the son of the preacher man in Dusty's songs -- and I know the lyrics are the same -- sounds like the one you settle down one, not just the one you kick up your heels with.
As an aside, from what I read, and I am not swearing to it, the song was first presented to Aretha Franklin by the writers. She turned it down, but then decided to do her own recording of it after it became a hit for Dusty.
The guitar intro on this is the sample that Cyprus Hill used on their tune "Hits from the Bong", This is a great version of this song, Dusty is awesome
A great version? This was an iconic song, that put Dusty Springfield in rarified air. Timeless, and powerful. What other version, besides maybe Aretha Franklin's can come close to this?
The reverb on this track is really amazing. It's really long and it's a plate or a spring (artificial), but it's not overwhelming. Her voice is still so present and clear. Must be a great mic and compressor combo.
I pulled into the 7-11 a couple weeks ago on my way home from work and a dude with a BIG white truck was blasting this song. His stereo made me jealous, It was AB FAB!!!
Two and a half minutes of pure bliss.
What a woman. What a voice.
She was a mess
Yes he was
Amen.
What a bass line.

Religion is a business. I mean no disrespect
@@patmcdonald548 I think it's more of a way to power people.
@@auroraedits3133 Yes to power some corrupt people, making their flocks moronic.
It's funny how Dusty makes the relationship sound sweet while other renditions give the image of a wolf in sheep's clothing, a bad boy who cannot be resisted as he tempts you astray. But the son of the preacher man in Dusty's songs -- and I know the lyrics are the same -- sounds like the one you settle down one, not just the one you kick up your heels with.
This is still one of the sultriest songs ever written/performed. Wow, if this doesn't move you, Jack, you dead!
She is so perfect , I love this song . It never ages , hey Dusty. 💕💕💕💕💕

Pulp Fiction brought me here!💯
As an aside, from what I read, and I am not swearing to it, the song was first presented to Aretha Franklin by the writers. She turned it down, but then decided to do her own recording of it after it became a hit for Dusty.
The guitar intro on this is the sample that Cyprus Hill used on their tune "Hits from the Bong", This is a great version of this song, Dusty is awesome
A great version? This was an iconic song, that put Dusty Springfield in rarified air. Timeless, and powerful. What other version, besides maybe Aretha Franklin's can come close to this?
Yes, this is awesome. Did not know CH used this beat in HFTB. Great beat too.
One of the greatest songs AND performances. Ever.
The reverb on this track is really amazing. It's really long and it's a plate or a spring (artificial), but it's not overwhelming. Her voice is still so present and clear. Must be a great mic and compressor combo.
No,a pure soul plus alcohol.Thats how it is,or was
I pulled into the 7-11 a couple weeks ago on my way home from work and a dude with a BIG white truck was blasting this song. His stereo made me jealous, It was AB FAB!!!
Love this song and props to Cypress Hill for the sample of it in Hits from the bong ❤❤❤
Dusty's delivery🎼 is crazy🎵 & then the Chorus( background vocals ) On Point!
When people ask me to define what "groove" is, I tell them to listen to this track.
