Dusty Springfield - People get ready

[hueyahumana]

I'm compleatly discovering Miss Springfield and it's being so ahead !... This a such a really pretty song . . .

[arfies]

I think in a past life, Dusty was a soul-singing black woman.

[Jan9902]

I suppose she did ok. She left the Springfields and went it alone.I was too young to understand why she left the uk and tried to come back later. Maybe me.

[Nicklas4500]

@Jan9902 You keep saying 'she left the Springfields'. Everyone knows that. What's your point?

[Jan9902]

@Nicklas4500 No point

[jilhal24]

I saw that on a PBS special about soul music they featured Dionne Warwick. Good singer, of course but soul singer, no way. That got me thinking. Why do we keep separating people according to how they look? This lady had just as much soul as Aretha, yet she doesn't get the acknowledgment. She may have been "white" but she sure as heck embodied the mindset of soul music. Dusty forever

[laminage]

@jilhal24 I don\t care what you say. Dusty had some mad skills. In my opinion, she kicked the Door Open for every Single British Blue Eyed Soul Singer from Duffy, Adele, Joss Stone, Jessie J, Lisa Stansfield and of course Amy Winehouse R.I.P.

[thepeacefulpoet]

@jilhal24 Dusty was universally accepted and known as The First White Lady of Soul

[earthmother]

DUSTY IS THE BALLZ



[trschaefer]

She could sing anything. I love this rendition of "People Get Ready"

[FrankWestXXX]

I LOVE THIS !!!

[lululapeache]

I wish I could sing like Dusty Springfield.

[MiGrm9]

Blue eyed soul right here....simply beautiful!

[imhotepseattle]

She had SOUL!

[drjimiboy69]

For a square gal she is too cool. I recently sampled audio of her TV show circa late 1968 via youtube. Jimi Hendix was her musical guest. He performed two of his own items (Stone Free, Voodoo Child Slight Return), and a duet with Dusty, Mocking Bird. He takes a simple pop tune and turns it into pimp stomping r&b metalic funk. Big ups to Miss Dusty for giving a platform to Jimi, the singularly most talented instrumental virtuoso since John Coltrane, Dusty is real and truly respects black music,

[dubonetducon]

One of a kind .. And one of the best! .. Love her, love her, love her!!!

[hiphopstara]

[blackprix]

I'd never heard Dusty do this song ... magnificent! She's one of my favorite singers from back in the day. Her voice was superb. Thank you!

[68generation]

Wow what a fascinating tone of voice she has....it is so warm and deep. Dusty is a very talented singer and interpreter.

[TwinksToes]

Thanks so much for sharing this.  Love it.

[oldrndt]

I was there and somehow I missed Dusty Springfield. She has excellent pipes, beautiful voice and well trained.

Based on the background pictures of what the guys are wearing, I would guess they started in the late '50's/early '60's.

[Tejano44]

Class act and song .

[bbagginz]

A superb vocal performance.

Now I see what Eva Cassidy was listening to.

 (love Eva's version also)

[alwaysdusty]

THE VOICE THAT HAUNTED A GENERATION.

[Mrfullofmusic]

We absolutely agree!

[klegster]

Who done this first? I always thought it was Rod Stewart.

[flimflam4141]

This is a Curtis Mayfield original1

[RachelWest91]

Aretha Franklin And Eva Cassidy Have Sung This Song! Both Pretty Good Versions. You Must Listen To It? x

[vikingbase]

The Impessions 1965...and was the title track from the album of the same name. This single is today the group's best-known hit.

[socetef]

@klegster i'm sorry to inform you that Rod Stewart such never done first time song .)

By the way is one of the greatest singer of the 70s.

[trschaefer]

This song is so perfect for her voice. She has such a soulful, smokey sound.

[inspectapumpum]

She fumbled with the lyrics...

[bradly2007]

Fine performance & great to hear Dusty's People Get Ready which she clearly felt deeply...love and miss you Dusty!!!

[68shamoa]

[arfurchance10]

While we quite rightly applaud Dusty's performances, I'd like to give a big heartfelt thank you to all those Dusty fans who post these songs and video's, without whom we probably would never see so much of Dusty. Once again thank you all. Ray.

[gferdinandus]

Thanks to you too Ray for all your heartfelt comments.

[blackkats]

Our Dust would be so thrilled to have witnessed the election of US President Obama.
