Dusty Springfield - Son of a preacher man

[namekman01]

any1 else wonder at what point sexual innuendo stopped being used?

[raidoactivekitty]

she had to b smoking something cause that hair is well...coyote ugly!

[DVDStuhlgang]

0:17, 0:30, 0:40, 0:58...The son of a preacher man show'd her his cock..and at 2:05 he take his pants on!^^ Epic song btw!

[TheTeenageArtist]

I thought of "The Office" when I heard this xD

[tangledweb79]

@TheTeenageArtist Oh good lord! Frigging Jan!

[VictorRechnageL]

Pulp Fiction <3

[LSMFTbitch]

epic hair

[vitoduval]

Vincent ....... Vincent

[Depsrain]

She reminds me of someone in Star Wars ..dont know why hahahaha ..loooooooooooooooove dusty and son of a preacher man <3

[2haveFREEDOMpriceles]

NEVER ever, EVER marry the son of a preacher man- they are too messed up!

[NFournaridis]

Wow...is....is this live?



[Nicklas4500]

@NFournaridis Yes this is live. She often sounded even better live than on record - she hated the dead acoustics of the Philips studios in London, sometimes she recorded in the ladies loos there to get a more ambient sound.

[NFournaridis]

@Nicklas4500

Thanks for the information, Nicklas! Very neat trivia! I'm floored. She sounds spectacular! Almost otherworldly!

[PBGSURFER65]

I always thought chicks liked bad boys;)

[DaFilaedschen]

that awesome moment when you get an eargasm

[TheBen854]

There is no shame to sing to Dusty in the car on the way to Work

[wessyuk]

finest female voice ever

[2323giggity]

@wessyuk I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT--------- DON'T FORGET ABOUT CHI COLTRANE EITHER---- BOTH OF THEM ARE THE BEST FEMALE SINGERS OF ALL TIME------ you have a great set of ears

[jinxxedlikeshit]

@2323giggity Yah, Nancy trumphs Chi by a landslide though, so forgetting her is just daft, there are others, Marianne, Lee Ann, Anne Marie, the entirety of the Chordettes...

I'd put Chi as not quite in the top ten but still pretty fucking awesome.

[TheOdinOdin]

Long life the White Queen of Soul !!!

[zahkuz61]

God I love that hair!!

[MrSprite69]

THERE WAS ONLY ONE. THAT ONE WAS DUSTY

[Lloydhl]

Soooooooooo awesome, Dusty, you left us to soon! R.I.P.

[geerterri]

My favorite of Dusty's songs, and my favorite performance of it.

[rmendel100]

this is one of those songs that should be 2 hours long it is so good

[tomthefunky]

Gene Chrisman's echoed snare drum is epic here. Tom Dowd engineered it and Arif Mardin produced it.

[scarlettewitch]

That hair... Those sleeves... Must be 1969!

[mrsmuci62]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[MrLibertine15]

gorgeous



[Lordie2099]

she had a silky smooth voice... my love for this song was renewed when it was in Pulp Fiction.

[Drummykins]

well, how could I let that trumpet section go unused, and "How's the hair?" Swweetie, nobody in the audience

can see! Now...Vegas, late 60's, ask her!

[LaureTaynanx512]

erm Cause life is a game

[UntouchableNYsee]

excepting donations to build a time machine...who's coming with me??

[Drummykins]

@UntouchableN was that accepting, or did you really mean excepting but then, why ask?

[Noobcake666]

hits from the bong melody :)

[PhantomPain88]

@Noobcake666 Heard this song countless times... Heard hits from the bong countless times... First time I noticed the melody... effing schock.

[mandapandasgood]

@Noobcake666

uhhh  son of a preacher melody

[Josquinquin]

Over 40 years have passed since this performance. .. It's still super cool!! Love you Dusty!! R.I.P.

[Drummykins]

@Josquinquin you're welcome, do you want to keep playing?I am, bet I'm way older than you! Go!..or not, your call, no pressure

[MaddieJalynShow]

on adjective comes to mind, whenever Dusty Springfield is mentioned,, SMOKEY

[LookInMyCrystalBall]

Such a gorgeous, soulful voice :)

[TillMoritz1993]

same beginning like "hits from the bong"

[marcel911]

sweet

[babydaddy2x]

who the fuck would dislike this

[MyMerlin1]

Only the british can sing this , Dusty and Joss stone.

[TakerFan72]

Dusty has such a sexy,soulful voice...This song just has something none other does.

All love respect and love for Miss Dusty Springfield.

[gus1465]

this was my mum's fav track R.I.P. Mum

[FilmFreakable2]

Mia Wallace likes this song.

[21violetwhitaker21]

hiya I just wanna have fun with you

[skontch1]

this is what music used to be..love & miss you dusty..rest in peace

[youhadtobethere57]

She was really singing this ....no lip synching here!!!! Man, she was great.

[jafranck9880]

damn,

she makes it look so easy

[Qaoz]

Wow, I always thought the singer was African-American... first time I see her. :O

[Mrspixiebaba]

Who cares if she's black or white. You don't have to be black to be good at soul music.

[Mrspixiebaba]

@123mrwilletts She was Bi actually.

[alshybobbers]

So did billy-ray pump her.

[NikeAirMax90s]

@alshybobbers He better hope so, she was FINE!

[BIBLEisMARKofBEAST]

Bible preachers and their sons are fleshly, all they have is a script about God.

They are not born of the Spirit, they are controlled by the letter which kills.

Jesus died to give us life in the spirit not to send us a history book about HiM.

THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

[CFMD28]

@BIBLEisMARKofBEAST Interesting theology....Where'd you learn it?

[BIBLEisMARKofBEAST]

@CFMD28 I learned it from Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

[vzooper]

damn i thought she was black! wow! shes great!

[MonsterZeero]

Can't do much better than this...I hate when people try to cover this song. Dusty owns it!

[balajis04]

amazing voice playing it 10th time in 2 hours

[Schlongster69]

Hits from the bong lol.

[54spiritedwill54]

Lovely song!!

[xdeadwaterx]

she likes big black cock

[123mrwilletts]

rip she was a lady and she was gay so what i say love and be loved we all get one go at life live it

[steviea427]

This is from the "Dusty in Memphis" album. It was a breakthrough in the fact that the musical heavyweights of the time...Dylan, Neil Young, etc., because of this album, recognized the awesome pool of talent in the Memphis studio musicians and producers, thus setting off the trend towards more countryesque music in the late 60s and early 70's.

[ThePhobos579]

Super Song ;-)

[marleneFindlay]

lool i am an uk girly

[OrigamiMotion]

@marleneFindlay i am black uk girly :)

[edimage]

this is the song that broke her in to the america charts

[Nicklas4500]

@edimage Dusty had US hits before this with 'I only wanna be with you', 'All cried out', 'Wishin and hopin', 'You don't have to say you love me', 'Look of love' - she even had a top 20 hit with the Springfields' 'Silver threads and golden needles' in '63 just before the Beatles broke into the US charts. I guess she's remembered most for 'Son of a preacher man', but check out some of her earlier UK BBC shows - she was amazing.

[edimage]

@Nicklas4500

and beauiful to boot and

she never lost her voice

[stiglaa]

Thank you so much for this!. One of my favorite songs.

What a voice.

[Sdrawkab]

always thought she was black. and is this song about sex?

[1UNCOOLMIKE]

Dear God, I love her, & her voice.

R.I.P. Dusty

[boltonox]

Back in the late 60's when Dusty went to America, the black Female soul singers were shocked to find out she was a white girl. They said DAAAaaMNnnnnn white girl! you's cans SIIIING!

[MEGAxxxDETH666]

Thumbs up if Pulp Fiction brought you here

[propellerdiver]

See Joss Stone's version. Yowsa.

[terros02]

miss Dusty =many great hits- she was good................still is

[ShalloeThought]

nice hair

[Rustina61]

Dusty's voice is perfect for this song.

[oscardgrouch1968]

Wasn't she in a group around this time with Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Ritchie Furay?

[charityGSHS]

I have been married to the son of a preacher man for 25 years and I can relate.

[shizay74x]

Classic.

[flekicakitty]

Oh, God, what a voice... *__*

[mezzomanUK]

Great performance!!!-sung `live` yet so like the record. Backing track from the record perhaps??

[KraYarK]

Today, I realized how many times I got high listening to the sample for this song in "Hits from the bong" theme from Cypress Hill, and i'm proud about it.

[diarraragland09]

Are you serious Korvinski? I will admit that there is more derogatory things on the airwaves now, but to say the these lyrics were pure and the people were innocent, WHAT? Half of the lyrics coming out at the time had sexual innuendos, and a good chunk of the artist back then were experimentong with everything under the sun.

[BaywayLincoln]

we are jamming today yes sir

[MeggyMichelle]

This is my #1 fav. song to sing! Thank you!!!

[ronkopald]

Oh man, I am digging that 60's groovey dancing. This is the most viable version of this song. She's got pipes, if not Hilariously dated looks.

I mean, I LOVE her music, but those dance moves are a little too slick.

By which I mean hilarious. Totally changes my perception of the song!

I know it, of COURSE, from Pulp Fiction, where it sounded cool and sexy, and now it sounds cool and sexy and HILARIOUS. What was in the water back then that compelled people to "dance" like that? AUSTIN POWERS

[tlw1950]

Preachers' sons know how to fuck....is that the point?

[gabiliszkay]

Lovely song

RIP Dusty

[gypsylor]

love that shirt!

[idontcareanyway1]

loving this

[ricklawn]

Love that hairdo

[hnm3000hnm3000]

Gorgeous song - and what a hairdo to boot ;)

[ak47skydiver]

I'm the son of a civil engineer- he was also a qualified asshole as well. Not much excitement in that household, and we CERTAINLY never went to visit chicks and thier hot daughters.

[JASONR5n]

Hits from the bong..........and Uma Thurman.

[xris117]

so sexy

[CrimsonChampions]

In her BIO before she died she stated she tried a relationship with a woman but it did not work out. Dusty stated "There is no replacement for a real man". Here, Here Dusty.

[Koekie0812]

love dusty!

[watermananne]

gavstersparadise92 , You do know she was a Lesbian?

[ninveleth]

@thesuperjustinbeiber Coming from someone with a name that contains Justin Bieber, we who actually like good music will not take your opinion into consideration.

[dodgex1]

Son of a preacher man !

[CrimsonChampions]

RIP Dusty. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put Dusty in a year after she died. She should have been in long before she ever died.

[wally0o0o0o0]

is it just me or there's no S in her WAS?

[TheGragl]

Its only a great song,and a great voice ! Ilove this song ,!!

[wtfitsjohn]

the only white queen of soul.

[nadia1234ize]

So a beautiful beautiful woman, with a wonderful voice. I miss You Dusty.

[tlwilliamson29]

I love the saxophones  and of course Dusty

[123mrwilletts]

rip dusty what a lady she was x

[thewiseben]

Good lord, I never paid attention to how incredible the bassline on this song is. Watch this again and listen *carefully* to how good that bass work is.

[greeneyedstone42]

@thewiseben I agree it's tasty..

[SassyMcSasquatch]

Can that hair get any taller?

[greeneyedstone42]

Well I guess that makes her the blackest sounding catholic ever, lol.. seriously there have been many a soul singer that wished they had her tones.

[Bhamwillf1]

@greeneyedstone42

I agree! I'm Black and I still love Dusty. May she RIP...

[makingdiamonds]

@greeneyedstone42 aint nothing black about her sound sonny

[ashleyscarsgard]

My preacher's son is Hot!

[greeneyedstone42]

Dusty sounded so soulful for a WASP

[Ctickle111]

@greeneyedstone42 Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien wasn't exactly an Anglo Saxon or a Protestant....

[knallbirne3000]

how will i remember, the look was in his eyes .. *sing

[ObnoxiousOldFart]

Cute. Think I'll take a nature hike ..... thru her hair, hahahhaha! (kidding)

hi mom! -waves- :)

[kewlmynd99]

Notice that this is when "they" realized how to use both a reverb and compressors for live productions.

[aliasmarcello]

bel pezzo ... bellissima l'acconciatura ALIEN

[captsense]

Must be all those carpets she munched!

[sukin23]

@GaddafiIsAGreatMan joss stone

[Scarred4lyfe3]

Hits From The Bong brought me here!

[tkdchamp971]

@Scarred4lyfe3 lol know exactly what u mean...was driving me crazy trying to figure out where they got this from.

[wccfl07]

i heard a few songs by her before ever seeing what she looked like...i thought she was black. SO proud to find out she was white

[arthurjw]

Agreed all the way the anglo soul , in this case like so many others actually gave soul: yet many could only attribrude to some racial thing could never really get my head around that Seems easy to someone as myself you got it or you ain't Dusty I grew up on her sound she got it for me. Yep I got an opinion like everyone else with an a/o

[siareiki24]

sweet!

[Bullet2Margera]

i always thought she was american until i did my music tech hwk

yay shes British!!

[seonidh]

@Bullet2Margera yeah Im British and always thought she was a black American what a soulful voice

[cati64]

@seonidh LOL this is a voice made for soul.. dusty is amazing

[daffydoug]

Man that hair! Oh, baby the 60's!

[TheyCallMeNess]

Warmer, Warmer, Disco! lol

[BlehIsaSkateboard]

PULP FICTION!

[homercupper]

[MsFanmail]

[queenwalk9]

[AddItUp226]

21 people need to work on their hand-eye coordination.

[gavstersparadise92]

I wish i was the son of a preacher man

[TWiiSTeDxSJ]

@gavstersparadise92 i am -_- but good song :D

[morgan4565]

@gavstersparadise92 I'm the son of a truck driver, but he was a qualified electrician as well.

[Blackwaterize]

@gavstersparadise92

Totally! :D

[potjanbert]

@gavstersparadise92 i wish my son was a preacherman

[irvin2cartel]

one of the very few white singers who sound black. go dusty. 

[seblasian]

@irvin2cartel I actually thought she was until i saw this video. Another thing I'd never guessed is that she's British..

[1D5dozer]

these auto-tune chumps today must feel like fools when they see live performances like this.

[ste893]

what a wonderful voice!

[MrBuckley123]

god bless you all around the world

[AprilClash]

for the longest time i thought she was black....

[bindingagony]

@AprilClash Just curious why would you think she is black just bc of a voice. There is talented voice in all races of people.

[BerettaM9USAF]

@AprilClash Dont feel bad, up until pulp fiction came out with this song on the soundtrack I also assumed be was black b/c all of the best doo-wop era female singers were. She has a great and timeless voice. I was exposed to a lot of this music as well as motown and blues as a kid. In fact I was the only suburban Illinois white kid in my High School rocking the Temptations, John Lee Hooker and The God Father of Soul James Brown

[dezerterone]

I wish there were thousands of such vocalists...

[BigChris1998]

Blue eyed soul right there - enjoy!!

[n12by]

D-I-V-A

[izolde59]

I love both bobbie gentry and dusty's versions

[voodoowraith]

21 people wish they were the sons of preacher men

[mrjordythegreat]

Hits from the bong!

[HaikuAutomation]

sadly this is a lipsync'ed mistake of a broadcast. The song and singer were special.
