She uses expressions, to bring out all the qualities of a great entertainer with a range of vocals that so many singers do not have. She should of had better management so the world would have listened to her more.
Wow! When I look at Dusty and then look at Lady Gaga I have to ask myself. "Where and when did the music world start going crazy?" Hope I live long enough to see the love of great voices and real music, without all the gimmicks, return.
This is one of the great examples of passion harnessed and controlled in tension that builds up and then gets released. Wonderful. A fabulous lady and beautiful!
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.

@K9spot66 Do you mean the key change? Otherwise referred to as "modulation" when the key goes up half a step. Not sure if that's what you mean because that's a musical thing and "editing' usually refers to film.
I'm watching this on a Sunday afternoon in 2010, and it occurs to me that Dusty is timeless. Where ever we are, when ever we hear her, she creates a special place and feeling that is Dustyland, forever young, fab, meaningful, deep and true. Thank you, Mary, for the wonderful gift you shared with the world. As she later sang. "Quiet, please, there's a lady on stage. She's singing, and she means it."
And thank you gferdinandus, for the timeless posts.
@BlondBeehive true. Absolutely wonderful and timeless. Dusty was a true lady with class. Opposite of people like FatherVineyard. I ask would him would you say this in front of people? You are a scumbag if ever there was one. A true scumbag that deserves everlasting hellfire.
this song is timeless, written by the great team of Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, never heard anyone do a bad version of it and Dusty does an excellent rendition.
I love this song! One of my all time favorite romantic ballads. It's been covered by a LOT of singers. But the late great Dusty does her usual TOP NOTCH job with her version. THANKS so very much for sharing this delightful gem with us! :)
there's a lost performance BBC where led zeppelin was a back up band for some folk singer whom i can't remember his name. and like, robert plant was just on harmonica and stuff. BBC has soooo much cool stuff....
I've discovered the wonderful Dusty Springfield some days ago (where I have been living before...I wonder myself). She's absolutely fantastic ! If Frank Sinatra was the "voice" among male singers, so Dusty is the "VOICE" among female singers ! I simply adore her. Thanks for posting this superb videos !
Hi, and welcome to the club! The exact same thing happened to me 40-some years ago! You are very fortunate because you have so many great Dusty songs to yet hear. I think that most of us "old-timers" agree that the feeling never goes away. Enjoy!
Has everyone gotten their "Dusty Springfield Live at the BBC" DVD? I highly recommend it, and Dusty is a wonderful houseguest! If the demand is there, perhaps someone at the BBC will get off their duff and scour the world for other episodes. There have to be some out there...somewhere. Spread the word!
Disclaimer: I'm not associated with the BBC or anyone selling DVDs; I just love Dusty!
I've loved this song for a couple of years, but this has definitely become wedding material. As in, I'll be singing it to my fiancee at our wedding. :)
This performance puts even Dusty at a whole new level. Can ANY singer active today come close to matching this warmth, this range, this sheer COMFORT shown here by the greatest songstress of all time?
Dusty's performance here is only analogous to the one slow dance you had with the Queen of the Prom you pined for all through high school. Wow.
on a scale of 1 to 10, assuming 1 is terrible and 10 is perfect, you`d have to add up all the atoms in the known universe and multiply them by all the grains of sand on every beach on the planet to get my rating.
gferdinandus, by some strange mathematical symmetry that number is also the number of thank you`s i owe you for posting all these great dusty springfield clips on youtube.
Actually, I hit the "post" button too quickly. I wanted to comment on how Dusty could sing so powerfully without becoming harsh. She was a master of dynamics. Singing softly or powerfully, she never lost that beautiful quality that made her voice so easily recognizable. Many modern singers could benefit by listening to Dusty. What an artist she was!
If Dusty were around today she would be blowing the female "entertainers" out of the water. There are no comparisons to this class act. Forever in my heart!
If Dusty were here to day she would be blowing todays' female "entertainers" out of the water-no comparisons-a true classic who will forever remain in my heart.
Wow!! Absolutely wonderful. Not only was she a great singer, but also an excellent actress too. The camera absolutely loves her. No wonder the English loved her so much.
It's so hard to pick a favourite song from the BBC DVD, but this, i think, just about seals it for me, lovely lyrics, sung with feeling and her usual professionalism by the lovely Dusty....i could watch this time after time.
Thanks jenny5wren! I purchased three Dusty CD's last week and I guess I'm going to have to find that one now. :) I have to have Dusty singing that song.
This song sung by the one and only Dusty simply breaks my heart. Love is everything. Thanks for your immeasurable talent Dusty. You have left us a treasure of goose bump inducing musical memories.
Hi RobinS2006, did you know that this track is on the album WHERE AM I GOING, it's one of the bonus tracks on the 1998 CD re-issue,and NO i don't work for the record company. Can't wait to get this CD myself.
By the way Robin' i must apologise because when i went to vote for your comment (goose bumps) i hit the wrong thumb which turned red instead of green for good comment, i must say i agree with you entirely.
