@BJM4441 Your so right...Dusty gets inside "Born This Way" from "Reputation" with so much passion showing that she is one of the greatest female rockers of all time...visit this performance often, love this timeless awesome singer!!!
Fierce & wildly soulful, Dusty simmers and soars & nails "I Am Woman" in a totally awesome version that I come back to over and over...RIP great soulful lady, you are the greatest and love & miss you so!
I prefer this version to the Reddy original. It has so much bite to it, and that tiger growl towards the end...you go Dusty, the TRUE feminist, way ahead of her time in the music industry!
You are woman and in this world of scientific GOD likeness, one day you won't need man. And when that day comes, we're screwed on a par of the first thirty minutes of Maximum Over Drive.
most music these days the singers sing to the music, but Dusty was different she sang and the music changed according to her singing. This is so good, I reckon

@jtravis282 With the greatest respect, that's just the kind of comment you would expect from a man, missing the point of the song completely, now go away whilst us intelligent folk indulge in the sheer class that was Dusty...!
@AngelaParkerMusic Perhaps they are. However, I've encountered many girls and women who aren't even cultural femenists. I like this song a lot; it's so much more than bubble gum music. This version is different than Helen Reddy's though. Even the lyrics...This was in the 80's? I liked Springfield in the 60's...
@K9spot66 I agree. Very powerful song and yes, I prefer this version to Helen Reddy's, even though both have good qualities. I believe this performance was in the early 70's?
@prankmasterjph It's not a contest, old boy. If you can get over your insecurity, you might realize that women and men are here together, to make the world work. Try to understand.
Even Helen knows she can't lay sole claim to this song. It has become every woman's song. No one sings it like Helen but yes it belongs to everyone of us sisters. And our true brothers too. A real man wants his sisters, daughters, mothers, to have equality too. And yes I have no problem making my finest lovin' man a sandwich.

They have had international woman's year, they have had special events celebrating blacks and ethnic minorities, and they have had events celebrating queers and fucking lady boys. When will it be the international year of the young single white male ? Young single white men have a place in society also don't we ? When will we come together and celebrate the young white single male ? This shit would NOT have happened if Hitler had won the war Zieg heil!!!! Heil mein Führer!!!! Heil Hitler!!!!
@greengringo2003 Your a fucking queer old man. I have had sex with more woman that you have had hot dinners. I believe woman were put on the earth to serve me. They are here so I can use and abuse them. And if you dont agree with me then I will fight you. Meet me somewhere name the time and the place ? And i will be there no matter where it is or what time it is, and I will beat you to a pulp old timer ? Or are you chicken

Sing the following to the tune of this song "I am penis hear me roar, I punch women to the floor, and I have participated in the gang rape of 100 women or more "
In those days, artists were known for their talent. Nowadays, a woman needs to show her ass in order to make it to the top. Look at trashy Madonna, Britney Spears etc. Now Madonna may be acting like Miss Little good shoes, but in her prime, she was America's number one whore.
she came from an era where many aspiring singers could place their talents out there on so many variety tv shows of the 60's and 70's however when that dies so did so many avenues for aspiring singers today.this singers hit the pavement on so many tv shows to get their name and songs heard
She was a very plain girl who decide one day it was up to her to make something of herself and look how she turned out...gorgeous! She had great fashion taste and wore her gowns like a millon dollars. So incredibly talented at so many levels and still a hero for many young singers, deservedly so.
I must not have lived in this planet. I found out tonight that this great singer has passed away. Rest in peace Dusty. I passed my youth with your music. Love you for ever. Anoosh

well , did you know that YDHTSYLM was an italian song , first performed by jody miller in italy and sung in italian , and dusty saw it got it translated to english by napier bell ( i think )
Well, to me, anyway, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me is Dusty's song...period! Same can be said for "I Am Woman". On top of that, Helen won the Grammy for her vocal performance on "I Am Woman".
Fantastic Dusty, you never fail to give but your best, note perfect as always, I never tire of listening to you and I have several burnt and ruined meals to prove it. R.I.P lass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow, this is a real bad version, horrific, love the helen reddy version, shows how great helen was, she made this song what it was , she gives it something others dont, watch the midnight special version on this site, helen is the real deal
There is no comparison, dusty takes this song to the next level. Helen sings it as if she were around a camp fire at a girl scouts camp. Bland and generic. Dusty has attitude, charisma and style. She sings it EXACTLY how it should of been. Helen's nursery rhyme version is just plain inferior.
Anyone know when this was taped? Looks like early 1970s. Dusty still looks great and sounds wonderful. Really like this version. Thanks for posting this!
Helen Reddy's dreck is turned into something far more elevated by Dusty.Imagine if she had a more sympathetic backing similar to the Memphis sessions.This could have been a real stunner...
I love Dusty, but please don't insult Helen. She had more hits in America than Dusty did, but I'm not here to compare... Helen was great and doesn't deserve your vitriol.
My apologies. I have Helen's albums "I Don't Know How To Love Him" and "Helen Reddy". Her versions of "No Sad Song" and "How?" are sung with great feeling. Dreadful arrangements and 'singalong' type songs bedeviled her work. She had more hits in the US than Dusty. But, chart success is a limited criterion for measuring soulfulness. What sets Dusty apart is her ability to turn a stinker into something sublime and moving. Helen was often at the mercy of bad arrangements and poorly chosen songs.
Soulfulness is not the criterion by which you measure a good singer. If soulfulness were the criterion, we'd have to say Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, etc. were bad singers. Helen had some songs I could do without, just like some of Dusty's... you should listen to Helen's album cuts more than just her Top 40 hits.
You mentioned chart hits, not me. I mentioned 2 album cuts by Helen that I consider very good. In my opinion, soulfulness is the criterion - it is "just" an opinion. It's okay that your criteria differ from mine. BTW, Helen's song Summer Of 41 ranks as one of my all time favorites.
ella had soul! and artists are judged on a PERSONAL level...beyond the basics of pitch and volume, everything else falls into the timbre you prefer...TECHNICALLY, they are both great singers! forget about chart toppers...make your OWN judgements
I always thought this was such a stupid song, probably because Hellen Reddy is such a mediocre singer, but Dusty is so good that she can manage to salvage it.
HAHHAHAHA!!! the end of that song is priceless! the only men dusty loved was mostly gay! she was in no way a man hater...BUT....DUSTY LOVED THE LADIES!!!
Lol, seriously? Dude, if you're interested enuff, pick up a copy of her biography, Dancing With Demons. You'll find out just how much she loved the ladies & so much more, trust me!!!...xoxo
no one said that it was a big deal, i was just stating a fact, in fact, i find it makes Dusty all the more beautiful to me. not that she wasn't beautiful before i knew that about her, it's just one more thing, one more reason to love her....xoxo
Okay all you cultural analysts. How about considering this as a live performance? That there is a rhythm section, orchestra and living, working vocalist. I prefer sounds closer to '66, myself, but this Seventies wall-of-sound is still awesome. Now back to the cultural analysis. Nobody stages anything this way anymore--by which I mean BIG. And it's not the amplifiers particularly that are making for bigness. No one seems to have the interest or resources to do it in this manner.

Well, to me, anyway, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me is Dusty's song...period! Same can be said for "I Am Woman". On top of that, Helen won the Grammy for her vocal performance on "I Am Woman".

There is no comparison, dusty takes this song to the next level. Helen sings it as if she were around a camp fire at a girl scouts camp. Bland and generic. Dusty has attitude, charisma and style. She sings it EXACTLY how it should of been. Helen's nursery rhyme version is just plain inferior.

Such a great song, yet. without such a powerful singer, one can never hear the fiery emotions that this song promises. Dusty, URE THE BEST!!!

Helen Reddy's dreck is turned into something far more elevated by Dusty.Imagine if she had a more sympathetic backing similar to the Memphis sessions.This could have been a real stunner...

I love Dusty, but please don't insult Helen. She had more hits in America than Dusty did, but I'm not here to compare... Helen was great and doesn't deserve your vitriol.
philip0460 3 years ago
My apologies. I have Helen's albums "I Don't Know How To Love Him" and "Helen Reddy". Her versions of "No Sad Song" and "How?" are sung with great feeling. Dreadful arrangements and 'singalong' type songs bedeviled her work. She had more hits in the US than Dusty. But, chart success is a limited criterion for measuring soulfulness. What sets Dusty apart is her ability to turn a stinker into something sublime and moving. Helen was often at the mercy of bad arrangements and poorly chosen songs.
Franksin007 3 years ago
Soulfulness is not the criterion by which you measure a good singer. If soulfulness were the criterion, we'd have to say Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, etc. were bad singers. Helen had some songs I could do without, just like some of Dusty's... you should listen to Helen's album cuts more than just her Top 40 hits.
philip0460 3 years ago
You mentioned chart hits, not me. I mentioned 2 album cuts by Helen that I consider very good. In my opinion, soulfulness is the criterion - it is "just" an opinion. It's okay that your criteria differ from mine. BTW, Helen's song Summer Of 41 ranks as one of my all time favorites.
Franksin007 3 years ago
"Summer of '41" is an awesome song and thank you for acknowledging it. Interestingly, Helen wrote it.
philip0460 3 years ago
ella had soul! and artists are judged on a PERSONAL level...beyond the basics of pitch and volume, everything else falls into the timbre you prefer...TECHNICALLY, they are both great singers! forget about chart toppers...make your OWN judgements

This just shows that despite all her 'difficulties' during the 70s, Dusty never lost it at the time.
Anyone know what tv show this is?
Is it 'They sold a million'?

'difficulties' ?
osahju914 3 years ago
I always thought this was such a stupid song, probably because Hellen Reddy is such a mediocre singer, but Dusty is so good that she can manage to salvage it.
answriter 3 years ago 2
I couldn't agree more! She adds so much attitude to the song.
Allenn812 3 years ago 2
She seems to really be enjoying her self, yet again a cover that sounds better than the original. :)
Allenn812 3 years ago 2
HAHHAHAHA!!! the end of that song is priceless! the only men dusty loved was mostly gay! she was in no way a man hater...BUT....DUSTY LOVED THE LADIES!!!

Lol, seriously? Dude, if you're interested enuff, pick up a copy of her biography, Dancing With Demons. You'll find out just how much she loved the ladies & so much more, trust me!!!...xoxo

So what? No big deal.
CrankCase08 3 years ago
no one said that it was a big deal, i was just stating a fact, in fact, i find it makes Dusty all the more beautiful to me. not that she wasn't beautiful before i knew that about her, it's just one more thing, one more reason to love her....xoxo

Okay all you cultural analysts. How about considering this as a live performance? That there is a rhythm section, orchestra and living, working vocalist. I prefer sounds closer to '66, myself, but this Seventies wall-of-sound is still awesome. Now back to the cultural analysis. Nobody stages anything this way anymore--by which I mean BIG. And it's not the amplifiers particularly that are making for bigness. No one seems to have the interest or resources to do it in this manner.
