Dusty Springfield - Heat Wave

[pcsbeat]

Powerful

[SuperBnichols]

wow shes really good live

[narcissa912]

This video right here.. it's causing lady boners.

[2bin]

Wow, this is the loudest I've ever heard Dusty. Usually she barely registers over a very cool coo.

[Nicklas4500]

@2bin Are you kidding? Dusty could raise the roof when she wanted to - try 'Won't be long', 'Gonna build a mountain', ''If it don't work out', Bring him back', etc. and all the Motown stuff where she really belts it out. She is Julie London, Martha Reeves and Aretha rolled into one.

[2bin]

@Nicklas4500 Well, then...I only have 3 words for her:

YOU GO GIRL!!!

[Jan9902]

Bless her, haven't seen this before, just like her to do this successfully

[LanceHelmut]

attention wannabe's...if you're white and want to tackle motown...this is about as close as you're gonna get

[MrMuggleton]

First time I have heard this version and it is the best !

[LorrieannR]

Back when talent counted!  No auto-tune, no over-dubbing. Dusty ruled.

[peacetrain60]

wow, just thinking back to that era, my mum luved dusty,

[London2cold]

I love the way Dusty gets "the spirit" and starts getting footloose! Does anybody notice how she's kicking those kitten heels!

[community1949]

It's puts the music of today to shame. Whoopeeeeeeee

[pcsbeat]

the perfect antidote to watching american idol (not that i watch it lol) thanks, dusty!

[ebizo66]

what a voice! what a feeling! She has SOUL. uhh..no. Maybe SHE is SOUL.

[19GirlBad]

God plz bring back Dusty Springfield and we trace you for Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.

[wesboki]

Phil Collins s***s !

[Metatron2501]

Erstaunlich wie einfach Sie auf der Bühne steht und dieses schwere Lied von sich gibt. Wenn ich mir die talentfreien DSDS Leute ansehe läuft es mir kalt den Rücken runter.

[Gem5771]

Dusty could take a song and turn it into pure gold! I recently purchased the DVD of her show and it's just a wonderful collection that is out of this world. I treasure it!

[corLTD]

Sorry Phil Collins, but THIS is how you GLORIFY a song.

[pcsbeat]

Phil WHO?

[MrHarveyluke]

The Queen of White Soul!

[hotgritz4sho]

@MrHarveyluke I agree with you. before contemporary white singers like teena marie, christina agulerra, joss stone, and even lady gaga, there was dusty springfield giving it to us with her own raw yet soulful rendition. i miss her.

[mssusan1961]

Dusty was always so elegant. A true lady of soul.

[Gem5771]

I love this woman!!! What a legacy of music she left us!

[leonardovittori1]

Wow . this was live, wasn't it..? Unbelievable.

[BlondBeehive]

There is nothing left of this song. Dusty tore it up, whipped it around with her microphone, danced on it with her pointy shoes and just left us with a double-hot-fudge sundae musical memory. She is the very best.

[Donanustus]

Good Song Thanks:)

[MrChrisjeffries]

I still have my old 45 of Martha Reeves singing this, Dusty is just so fine.....

[The3rdFloorKidsBand]

Shes very underrated in my opinion. Not one of my favorite songs though but still a good one. Always makes me think of the old days...lol.

[ronstadtfanaz]

wow! wonderful version.

[Jayplaysgitar]

This really is first class stuff. Just been listening to some other Dusty from that period. Taken for granted a bit, but really she was a great singer.

[TheMotownMoments]

AMAZING. Dusty does a wonderful cover of this. She truly was one of a kind! What I want to know is why the 21st century doesn't have artists like her or any of the other fantastic people that were around at the same time.

[powerman2g]

That was great! The fact that she could do her thang to a Motown hit originally sung by the great Martha Reeves shows how much talent she really has! This lady is awesome!!!

[Mycroftsbrother]

Dusty and Martha Reeves were very dear friends back in the day. In fact, back in the '60s, this lovely lady was largely responsible for introducing many Motown artists, and soul music in particular, to Britain, Europe in general, and the rest of the world. There are some clips of her Motown special here on YouTube.

It's unfortunate that, during her life, the world never gave her the credit or appreciation she so richly deserved for bringing so much to the world of music. We owe her so much.

[thepeacefulpoet]

@Mycroftsbrother she used her influence with ATV as it was to produce an hour long RSG special featuring the Tamla stars that were on tour here ( not a very successful tour up to then) Dusty saved the tour and brought Tamla Motown to the wider UK audience.

[COVKID58]

BRILLIANT.

[Wellveryinteresting]

Is Dusty's '60's show on DVD, either in Britian or the U.S.? I would love to get my hands on DVDs of her show.

[Mycroftsbrother]

Yes. It's called "Dusty Springfield Live at the BBC". I think Amazon and Barnes and Noble carry it in the US...probably in Britain also.  It is well worth the price!

[peacemonger1967]

great DVD, I own it...Dusty Forever...best female pop singer of the 60's

[calvin667]

The woman's got soul.

[SomebodyGroovy2]

I think at the end she says, "What? No. I'm through with it." Don't blame her. It was an awesome performance and didn't need worn out.

[Mycroftsbrother]

Is it me, or is it getting HOT in here?

"The Voice" scores again... 5 stars at least!

[kidderguy]

Its such a shame she wasnt asked to do Live Aid in 1985 since some of the artists there praise her so why didnt they ask her to perform?

[mnsnake]

Every one of these TV show cuts I watch I'm more and more amazed. She just blows the doors off the place with this one.

[moonflower0924]

I'm a new clapper, Dusty. :)

[BigTed5]

She just looks so alive and vibrant here. She also looks like she is having so much fun. It just takes my breath away.

[bl4ckc4tb0nes]

Hey ohio,your right she was waiting for the band to end put they kept on for a few bars too many for her liking,she was meant to be a tough lady,i don't fancy her irie!

[alicetheactress]

She was meant to be a tough lady as well as a perfectionist! very well may be lethal to those who invoke her anger! BUT STICK IT TO 'EM DUSTY!

[bl4ckc4tb0nes]

wonderfull tone that dusty had

[Allenn812]

Would of loved to see her do these songs with Martha and the vandella's. Her and Martha had so much chemistry.

[denny9853]

This clip just proves Dusty could sing anything and sing it her way. Great clip.

Dennis

[OctoberOhio]

Any lipreaders here? What does she mouth when the song's over and the show isn't? I think she's a little annoyed! what ya'll think?

[Hampson12]

Thanks for all of these gferdinandus - totally brilliant of Dusty.

[gpwerner]

A silly thing called...Heat Wave!

We're still clapping, Dusty. :)
