[basicaa]

Magnificent

[lumbiaknight87]

[zilcheynon]

Been a fan of hers since i first heard her. Thanks for posting. Allows her music to be heard.

[elPelonLoco24]

WOW! always loved me sum Dusty but hearing her soulful version of this classic just kills me. kills me big time! didn't think anyone could give me the chills like I got whenever I would hear the Lenny Welch version. but this one beats that one. maybe by only that - snaps finger - much but it does. thank you, thank you for posting this.

[HookedOnHaley]

I get the blues most every night, since I fell for you!!!

Miss you, Sweetheart!!

[bradly2007]

Stunning performance make "Since I Fell For You" definitive here...Dusty gets inside this classic making it her own...looks and sounds incredible, nobody compares to this great singer...Bravo Dusty, you are loved and missed by many and RIP great lady!

[Loejyrrab]

You Tube is such a pleasure. I just rediscovered a great singer in Ms.Springfield. I will be coming back here often to treat my ears and eyes to a splendid talent. RIP baby!

[harrisonandreed]

creepiest comments.

[trschaefer]

Such a distinctive sound… just perfect for this song. I love you Dusty!!!!

[paricksanchez]

dusty better then orginnal

[tanagerbirder]

I bought the original by lenny Welch back in the 60s. Had this version been available, I would have bought this. Dusty could really give the blues 'feeling'.

None better!

[MissMusicUSA87]

@tanagerbirder I think the original was actually Buddy & Ella Johnson, but Lenny Welch made it a hit

[eeksdeeks]

a pretty face.

lovely eyes.

feminine smooth silky sexy voice.

beautiful legs (from other images i saw of her)

cute.

[jdftn1947]

what a great day (Easter Sunday 2011) 1st I found Mavis Staples' verison of this wonderful song and now Dusty Springfield .what a great day thanks for posiitng it

Jim

[milltown420]

my favorite performance. next to 'losing you'....its just amazing that voice that comes out of her. best. female. singer. ever. such control of her voice. she knows EXACTLY how to sing this song and she does it. nobody, including Barbara, can even TOUCH her version....and i've never heard Barbara's version. no need.

[priscamolotsi]

LOVE her!!

[grwatanabe]

makes it look easy

[malbuff]

She sings this song about as well as it can be sung, and her subtle, breathy voice puts it over beautifully. But the arrangement is a little too tame and the ending is weak.

[47yesican]

Her "Hand Jesters" Are Just Amazing. That Told So Much About Her.

oooooohhhhhh ddddaaaammmm, She's Gone!!

[mikesterSTLMO]

Kim Zolciak (ya know, the "Don't Be Tardy for the Party" chick from Real Housewives of Atlanta) so needs to play Dusty if and when they ever give her life the big screen treatment. She's not only a dead ringer for her, but she's a biggo breasted gal that has dipped her toe in the lady pond as well.

[Twom44]

She could gargle a song and it would still sound terrific.What a soulful voice. Dusty, thanks for being.

[VadimShinnik1989]

ooooooooo uuu eee that is pleasantly ....

[Jaynesgang]

You know, I never really appreciated Dusty when she was around. I was too young and thought that she was just a pop singer. You just have to love this lady. Such a smoke drenched voice that soothes the soul.

[laggie24]

DUSTY SINGS SO SWEETLY ... YET HER WORDS ARE BITTER ... SO THAT'S WHY THE BITTERSWEET IS THE PERFECT EXPRESSION HERE.

[Ruby445]

This was a special voice from a special woman who stood up to apartheid in South Africa, among other things. Her voice reminds me of a single blend scotch over ice--smooth, warming and very satisfying.

[supersondessixties]

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.

Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.

[julianlovers]

Ahhhh Beautiful Dusty at her soulful best. She never ceased to deliver and is sorely missed by all her fans. Todays singers don't come anywhere close to her. Iagree with Nicklas and say itwold be around 71/72 as by then she had changed her hairstyle to a more softer look and the same for the eye make up too.

Rest In Peace Dusty your music lives on xxx

[smoky3132]

Dusty: Your voice, your style, your Beauty still haunts me to this day. No one else even comes close. You will always be in my heart. You will always be the best.

[raiphdude7]

This chick has it, to say the least. Could someone tell these 'new' babes to get some Dusty in their vocabulary?

[narcissa912]

*melts*

[jackscholesbramall]

this could be for dusty from just about everyone who heard her, as i sure fell for her

[JoshMich1985]

This is a good version. I really like Nina Simone's take on the song as well.

[susej1able]

Dusty puts her heart into this song, beautifully done.....Dusty was a wonderful enterainer, loved her work.

[whitedunks]

Ugh, I love her. True blue-eyed soul, from a 27 yr old :)

[7ljm]

Unique voice ... God given talent.

What year is this?

[timmon385]

@7ljm I would take a guess and say it's 1967 or 68. If not then it's pretty close.

[Nicklas4500]

@timmon385 I'd say a bit later, '71 or '72

[COVKID58]

@Nicklas4500

This performance was from the "Tom Jones Show" which aired 28/12/72.

[ariesrisin1]

Barbra's version is better but i do love Dusty's soul

[nellie2581]

I love this song.

[thepoopie2]

the best version is lenny welch. wait to you hear it.

[kickassfan]

singing goddess queen....

[musicmanregina]

wow-what a priviledge to watch and listen.

[pontecanis]

Utter class...what a sweet lady and a fabulous voice...RIP Dusty

[bradly2007]

Hauntingly gorgeous performance show Dusty a legendary great not appreciated as she should have been as this stunning performance shows. Dusty has a voice so fine with depth of soul taking the listener to the core of a song like nobody else and what a gorgeous face...miss you Dusty! Performance is magical & rare...

[JeffMcNeal]

That was lovely. What a voice.

[TheBeanie1963]

Hubba hubba I love you dusty !!!!!

[GiuseppePascuale928]

P.S. That final note is SUBLIME — she could have held it all night!

[flamesounds]

@GiuseppePascuale928 Probably not a female singer in the last 30 years that could have hit that one that sweetly.......

[GiuseppePascuale928]

@flamesounds I know that's right!

[GiuseppePascuale928]

Her voice is smooth like buttercream and soulful as Soulville here. So what if she may have been a bit buzzed in this clip (as suggested by the Dusty "Bible" and also her face whilst performing) — I think it actually adds to the magic of the whole thing!

[bigtool66]

What a voice.......WOW

[bigtool66]

What a voice.......WOW

[ROCKERWORLD1]

great

[inousch]

Wonderful! all the ***** for you, Ine

[abbafan999]

What makes me laugh is that I've read the Dusty has been quoted to had said that she was a perfectionist in the studio because when you make a record it stays for ever so it has to be right whereas if you do a poor live performance you can hope your audience will forget about it and move on. We're all reviewing her live performances these days me included. They are here to stay thanks to you tube. I think she'd be horrified if she'd known that would happen!

[bradly2007]

@abbafan999 something this gorgeous don't think Dusty would have been anything but proud...sublime perfection!

[ognet]

I love Dusty but this isn't a patch on the version by Jose Feliciano.....

[herasmarket]

oh yeah she's good -- Babs is good too but there are some songs that sounded awful when Babs sang them -- when did Dusty start her trademark of wearing lots of eyeliner (it became her signature) and she isn't wearing any here -- just wondering?

[hedwigkiesler]

well, until i heard doris day's version, i considered this the ultimate one. but now i've just heard ms streisand do it. and she is so absolutely and objectively unbeatable.

even though: this is still great.

[allanconner]

Ms. Streisand,

THIS is how you sing this song!

[ZIEBELL5]

Come on! You are not fair!

There are so many different renditions of this great song, but to say that Streisand's version was not good, and that Dusty was the only one to know how to sing it is pure nonsense!

[allanconner]

Well....#1. Never said that B.S. was not good. #2 Never said that Dusty's was the only one who knew how to sing it!. The great thing about music is that everyone gets an opinion. I can name several songs that B.S. sang that she was fantastic on.(Somewhere etc) Some songs that she tends to oversing (Since I fell for you,You don't bring me flowers)

My opinion is fair because it is my opinion!

[samnight]

@allanconner Shame on you...you are blessed with two legends singing this incredible song and you choose to put one down. Please post a link to your version.

[allanconner]

@samnight Shame on me for voicing my opinion? I think Streisand tends to over sing. Read the post I made six months ago real good.

[bradly2007]

@allanconner Streisand does a fine version & see no reason to put one fine version against another...

[ronshepard63]

@allanconner  really !!! come on now lol

[MultiNabokov]

@allanconner ; that's it exactly, just what I said to my friend when we listened to Barbras' version.

[havenoneatall]

You are all so right whoever said her best work was done in England. I am assuming the Pet Shop Boys brought her back to her roots and managed to give us one of her very best recording sessions in the production of 'REPUTATION & RARITIES' All of us were happy to see her back in touch with her great singing and songs to remember her by. Thank you PSBs.

[BlackMonk66]

Most would say that Dusty In Memphis was a better album than Reputation. She has some good material on Brand New Me and Cameo, too. I think she just had a bad period artistically and would have regardless of where she was. During this period, she gave up control over her records to other people, so the quality of those records depended on who was in control.

[dedeurs]

It seems that the perfection bug that often bit her in the studio, never did so on stage.

She said she was so proud of Going Back, but she came close to ruining it. It turned out quite lifeless.

I also never cared much for her 1970 soul addiction. She was great at blues and particularly jazzy things, Come back to me, Earthbound Gypsy, or Hollywood glossies like Second Turn Around, that one is so sophisticated.

The one above was unknown to me and a pure delight, thanks for posting!

[lyricalminded3]

SOUL, not just blue eyed soul, but SOUL, at its best

[Specialdark23]

Blued Eyed Soul at it's best!

[RandiSierra]

TOTALLY!!!  OMG that's so weird I was JUST thinking that today. OK on another note she is TOTALLY cute!!!

[jimdivax]

lovely nuanced version of this. I see disagreements in these streeams about how Dusty SHOULD have sung. Either belting or whipering. Real soul singing uses both...like shifting gears, ramping up the emotion...just as human emotion flows in the soul like a wave, never consistent. Intimacy and tranquility to joy and rage! Dusty could do the lot!

[raaxx1968]

does anyone know what year this was?

[swampfoxgeneral]

I can't believe some of the negative comments here. There was no female artist of her era comparable to her.

[COVKID58]

This is what Dusty could with a song...get to the emotional heart of a song and communicate its meaning with great and rare depth of feeling.

[Merkara1]

all i can say is warm mmm. so sensual.

[railsplitter69]

Oh Dusty - You left us much too soon.

[arfurchance10]

Is'nt she beautiful? just like a porcelain doll.

Love yer Dusty X X X Ray♥

[bradly2007]

Gorgeous to watch & listen to Dusty taking a classic and making it her own...nobody could match this vocal wonder!

[bille1954]

Just love her...Monday

[Kevsgirl234]

I know the original is by Nina Simone, but I love Dusty So ....it goes :)

[rvcrvc2]

I don't know if Nina was first, but Lenny Welch is why this song is remembered.

[Kevsgirl234]

Sorry it took so long to answer I have been away. You are correct the original was first popularized by Buddy Johnson's sister, Ella Johnson with Buddy Johnson Orchestra. Lenny Welch's version was the most poular. Thanks for the correction :) Rachel

[Kevsgirl234]

My answer above was supposed to be in response to rvcrvc2 :)

[phillydog17]

Wow!

[moviestarblonde]

Dusty 's voice is like velvet. Fabulous!

[audreywade]

..shame on you ...this is a wonderfull take......your not listeing to the sentiment of the vocalswithin this song............

[Nicklas4500]

Strange misanthrope. How can you say she isn't holding the notes? What about 1:16 to 1:21 or the long sustained note at the end, which to my ears sound perfectly held. This is a beautiful and amazingly skilled vocal performance.

[barebels]

You sir....are tone deaf

[coffeescup]

you are horribly incorrect and MISperceptive...

[bobjonesohya]

Other than the version recorded by Lenny Welch I rate this as my favorite version.

[PlseScowlMore]

I think Dusty's edge hit its peak on Cameo. Who Gets Your Love is like her (Judy Garland's) The Man That Got Away. It's a voice captured at its emotionally-wrought peak. She never sounded this sad after. Sure, her BBC live sessions were great, like Streisand on those People albums. But I much prefer them on the edge of the precipice... like Streisand's Butterfly and Superman, going all crazy experimenting before the fall.

[gferdinandus]

A very interesting comment. Thanks.

[feherbear]

Yes she was a very big fish in a very little pond in England. The musical references in the last message were from the BBC shows.

[CrankCase08]

She just got lazy when she went to America. Here she is just crooning in a way that they like. she was capable of far better, as before she left England.

[feherbear]

You are way off base. As she said in interviews she had nowhere else to go in England. Then the music world shifted and "girl singers" were left behind. Perhaps you are too young to remember? She made critically acclaimed albums that did not sell. It had nothing to do with being "lazy"! She sang tons of covers of standards in England was that "just crooning" as well? Get a grip Cranky and stick your judgmental attitude where the sun don't shine!

[CrankCase08]

Funny how some people get all personal when someone says they disagree with.

At the time she was still hugely popular in Britain; I suspect the fault laid with her management.

On every track on 'Dusty In Memphis" and onwards she is employing that lazy, laid-back crooning style, whereas in Britain she was often belting out her voice to full effect.

She herself said later on TV that she discovered that the American industry knew no better than here. She virtually accepted it was a mistake.

[feherbear]

Disagreement is not the issue. There are many flavors. I object to you calling her lazy. As I watch the old clips of her show I note even then she was a master of intonation and did not "belt" when it was not called for. One of the great things about her was how many differnt things she could sing: following an amazing Motown song with an Irish folk tune for instance. "Dusty in Memphis" is not crooning and is considered one of the top 100 albums of ALL TIME by Rolling Stone Mag.

[CrankCase08]

She got lazy with her voice, catering to american tastes.

I don't care what that Rolling Stone rag said, I'd say 'Dusty In Memphis" is way overrated. All her best stuff was done in England, and that includes the material done after she returned. Dusty herself said she was disappointed with America and it wan't what she expected, being glad to return to England. If you want her at her best, I suggest the BBC shows, all sung live and as good as any studio recording.

[feherbear]

Did you expect her to sing Italaian ballads forever?

[CrankCase08]

An erroneous argument. She didn't sing that many Italian ballads.

[feherbear]

Look at the BBC intro to All I Need Is You. She says quote "perhaps it is because I sing quite alot of Italian ballads." She had conquered the little country of England and went to try America. Where, by the way, many of the songs she was most attracted to were written -- Motown! You are the one who wanted her to stay in England and "belt". Logically that equals her Italian Ballads.

[CrankCase08]

No, it doesn't . She did sing a lot of Italian songs, but they were by no means the majority. She was already singing Motown before she left England. If you check an interview on TV after she returned, with Janet Street Porter, she effectively confessed that the whole experience was effectively a mistake and had left her disappointed.

[feherbear]

Whatever you say Pops. Check out the documentaries and the books. I think we can all agree that her career did not go the way she wanted but she left England because she was unsatisfied with where she was musically and personally. You may also want to check out a logic book.

[CrankCase08]

I don't need any logic book. Yes she left England because she found herself out of step with the British music industry, but she returned to England because she found that the American music industry was not what she had expected. The point I was trying to make was that she was capable of much better than what she was doing in the US, and it's a pity she wasted so much time there.

[mnmcv1]

i dont think displaying another aspect of her voice (which was not only appealling, but something she had done in England, too- ever heard of "The Look of Love"?), a more breathy, intimate style, was "being lazy". And if you were more familiar with her work, you'd know she belted quite a bit in the ensuing years ("A Brand New Me", "What Good is I Love You", "Haunted", "Natchez Trace", "Breakin' Up a Happy Home"...hell, even "That's the Kind of Love I've Got For You").

poor argument...

[theblueangel28]

divine

[bayridgegroove]

Whether it's the improvised "hey" at 0:48 or the casual flipping of her hair at 1:21 after a long sustained note,it just reflects how really cool and talented this artist is.

[cazziekins]

Just splendid the fab Dusty to show 'em all how it's done....!:0)

[mymonaro2008]

What year was this performance?

[SBatez]

I took a look at her dress and guess: 1974!? ;)

[mymonaro2008]

Thanks for the information.

[KylesBeguiles928]

I think you are right!  The hair looks just like the style on the planned cover of her shelved 1974 Elements/Longing album.

[KylesBeguiles928]

According to this track's listing on my Dusty Springfield "Heart & Soul" compilation CD, this performance is from 1972.

: )

[GUMMERUP]

I don't think i've ever seen Dusty looking better than this, the clothes, hair and make up were fantastic. The singing wasn't bad either !!

[terlewill]

Dusty - a goddess from her first sweet note to the last.

[grityrteeth]

stunning

[derwent]

There will never be another voice like hers. It was heaven sent. I don't think she ever quite knew how great she was.

[ajpoop]

R.I.P. Dusty.

[sunflowermother]

Gosh she is Gorgeous! Am I wrong but doesn't her make up look like present day make-up is applied? She is so Great! Such a beautiful song by a beautiful person. *)*

[marklulrich]

I totally agree, as a cosmetologist, I think her hair and especially her make-up are amazingly contemporary, She is radiant! I've only ever heard Streisand's version of this song, and to say I like it as much is saying A LOT!

[cazziekins]

divine Dusty!

[kickassfan]

The singing Queen.
