A brilliant vocal performance by Dusty. It has the trademark that she often used of starting soft and then building to a breathtaking crescendo. She was truly a wonderful vocalist. I understand that other singers study her and her phrasing. They should !!!
hey havent seen this in years, thats me whafting the white sheet about in the wind machine, I must say I love Dusty and it was a privilage to have been in this video. xx vin
ffm...Dusty released lots of great lp's in the seventies and many of us never missed any of those awesome works which are all musical masterworks to anyone who loves the best music has to offer...Dusty is the most unique blue-eyed soul singer & greatest voice ever in popular music!
well maybe a lot of people you know, but not younger people, they never even heard of the pet shop boys, more people know her from son of a preacher man in the movie pulp fiction, or oldies radio, which plays her other songs but almost never plays that pet shop boys song. p.e.t.a. recently stated that they wanted the pet shop boys to change their name and i had to explain to people who the pet shop boys are.
oh ok. im in the u.s. i wish i heard the pet shop boys more and that people ten years younger than me dont look at me with blank stares when i mention them. the same happens when i mention erasure.
I'm normally not much of a country listener (closest to country I really enjoy is John Denver. (Yes, yes, I know it's folksy pop). I first heard this from Rupert Hine in "Better Off Dead" (Hilarious film. Highly recommended). This is a beautiful song and Dusty does a spectacular job with it. Amazing.
TV news at 06-30 am is the usual mix of mayhem, murder human interest etc. etc.
But Dusty ahh!, constantly uplifting, perhaps a couple more and then try the news and weather again. I my part of the UK we get as much rain as the Lake District, the countryside is just as grand though
this song is soo soo beautiful.. what a voice. i've posted a version of goin' back i did on my page so if you're interested have a look, but nothing will ever compare to her version ;0)
What a fab song from a fab album. I'd forgotten how good this album was. Dusty is great and often her later work is overshadowed by her early years. It's all good from an enduring artist.
espuetblanc...true, so true... The fact that Dusty was hounded over the years by journalists, determined to pry into her private life, made her fans more protective towards her. Her voice..wow, no-one sings like this. It is so moving, touches you deep inside. Dusty will always remain in our hearts.
dustys vocie is exquisite..full of naunce..wish she done more in this genre as it showcases her voice perfectly..never thought her pop schmaltz did her voice justice at all.. the psb realized it and let her voice roam and fill their uncluttered electronic sounscapes brilliantly!!
I've had a good half hour of my favourite soul singer and as usual I get the lump in throat condition. She was wonderful, if there was a fan club I'd join it..........T
I read all these comments about Dusty being a lesbian is it important? it seems to be to some. What Dusty was off stage is unimportant.She could sing and I addored her voice, she had SOUL
Right Said 73gnikxela: No matter what Dusty Springfield (Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O Brien) was, first and foremost to me, she was first female phenomenon in music. A true model to me and many other people, her music broke ground for other musicians and I admit, when I feel the need to cry, I just listen to that voice and the tears roll down. Dusty is truly missed by anyone who has or has not heard of her.
Dusty was lesbian. She wasn't bisexual. Get over it. People judging her made her life a misery. Who cares who she slept with? she was a brilliant singer and should have been appreciated more in this country.
couldn't have said it better myself, 73gnikxela- Dusty's lesbianism really tortured her, if anyone ever really looked at her life and hears what her closest friends have to say, there is no doubt. EVERYONE who came out back in the 60's and 70's and even 80's always claimed to be bisexual, at least at first (elton john, billie jean king, martina navratilova, dusty herself). It wasn't as alienating and shocking to the public as admitting being completely gay.
For the man down there hu said dusty would of liked him.. sorry to put a downer on u.. but the women that you had a crush on for so long was actually a lesbian and she married a women lmao x
All those radio station that seem to think that Dusty only did "Son of a Preacher Man" should think again. Let their audience know how diverse she could be. This is a truly wonderfull, moody song. Marvelous video to go with it. 10 out of 10 from me.
I have had a crush on Dusty since I was 14. I am 58. Had she lived, I think she would have liked me. But seriously, I love Dusty. Such a style, such soul, Dusty forever my honey! Hey, I learned a few of her songs. Maybe I will post it some time. Tony Learner
You gotta love Dusty's style. Her movements allow the proper translation of this lovely song. Most singers can't translate their material that hey are singing. yhat is what set Dusty apart from many othrs-Dusty knew how to translate and understand what her songs were about

hmm okay
i know what you mean
in the us the pet shop boys were only succesful in the 80s and in the 90s to the 2000s they were completely ignored by the us media
what is a shame
and erasure are not successful anymore in europe too they lost their rellevance in the late 90s
but erasure contrary to the pet shop boyxs had a big monster hit with always in 1994 in the us
