sooo.....in this one she says do everything he likes and wants to do......then on the list on the right she's singing "You don't own me"...........trolololol.

@jumijack I know maybe you said that tongue in cheek, but this song reminds me of the time when my parents divorced and I was living as a three year old with my single mother in a housing project with $20 a month for groceries and no coat in the winter.
There are those that think this a sexist song. Male subjugation of women! The truth is, this is a pretty song, sung by a pretty songstress, and it talks about male frailty, not subjugation. The woman singing this song knows what she is doing. She's not bowing down to anyone.
A place in time that society forgot . . . . when music was cool, groovy & innocent and lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled . . . unlike today ~ how they serve our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip hop- are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting into hot water with the law - WHAT kind of CRAP is that ?? Just another example of the deterioration of the very fabric that holds us up.
Love the slide show. Love music first and always, but i seriously love the slide show. Any chance of getting sources for the pix? thanks so much for posting.
We called it the British Invasion...all the singers and bands that came out of the UK...but Dusty had soul...more than any other female singer of that time...inimitable.
@DanielJoseDiego Hope you're in for a long, long wait!! Kind'a like Linus waiting in his pumpkin patch, awaiting the arrival of The Great Pumpkin, only a much, much longer wait..
I love this song for the memories of when I was 8 yrs old, in 62,the radio was always on everywhere,so there was always music playing in the back ground when we played outside.When a song would come on that I,or the group of us liked we stopped playing and would listen to it or do the twist if it was Chubby Checker,or do what ever dance fit the song.I remember this song so clear because of the trumpets at the beginning and at the end.
I was about 8 and my sister was 15 and was learning to play the quitar. She taught me to sing harmony on Wishin and Hopin when it was Dusty's current hit on the radio. We still sing together today and this is still one of my favorites.
i remember this song from will and grace (thats my youth) apologies.............but i think i heard it in passing before that because i remember singing along.......good old dusty
I grew up in The Netherlands right across from England. We always listened to the British radio stations, we were so much influenced by what the Brits listened too and the style of clothing. I remember listening to Petula, Lulu, and Dusty and Shirley Bassey and also of course all the greatest British bands.
Reminds me of when i was little, five i think, and my mum started playing this song, walked over to me, grabbed my hands and twirled me around and we danced for what seemed like hours to this song..it was the best day ever!!
This is the song that black women should really listen to. Every time you turn around black women are sacrificing their sanity by altering their looks trying to get the attention of men who do not want them anyway. I know, I am a black woman myself.
I'm surprised this wasn't on the greatest hits record I got for 40 cents at a thrift store.. It's still great though and I can't stop listening to it but I wanted to hear this one too. :)
They play this song 2,3,4 times everday at my job in a grocery store. I despise this song,probably just like i despise the other 35 songs they repeat over and over endlessly in that rathole corporate cronie ratcage on a daily basis. Lousy corporate scumbag scoundrals with they're cruddy old lady bubblegum music. : /
I remember the Motown stars came over to London to appear live on TV; Dionne Warwick being one of those and with Dusty gave us a rendition of this Wishin' and Hopin' in a Duet. It was absolutely fantastic, and I've often wondered if there's a recording of the song about somewhere ??
Amazing number of androgenous images of men who most certainly could be female. But a nice compliment to her life--I think she was so troubled by her sexuality. Let us hope that in the future such things are meaningless.
There's a great NEW book on Dusty: 'The Invention of Dusty Springfield - Scenes From a BritPop Icon'. It's a fun read and a tribute to 'our' Dusty. Available on Amazon.com.
Just had some American Idiot suggesting Patsy Cline had a better voice than Dusty Helen Shapiro or Judy Durham Stupid or what I told them to listen to the power in Dustys voice
I would hear this song and think of the one person I wanted to ever marry, I was around 15, and I believed every word of this song. Wasn't meant to be, but Michael Moss, you will always be in my heart and soul. Next life-time for sure, we just missed it by one incarnation, durnit!
To someone who has no concept of gender identity it would make no difference, but to someone like me who has a great respect and admiration of true womanhood, it makes a great difference.
This was one of your best songs and one of my favorites when I was 16 and very much into falling in love with my H.S. sweetheart in 1966..John May you RIP.
I remember this song was on the radio a lot when I was about 6 years old. And I didn't particularly like the song all that much. Then about 11 years later when I was 17 I heard it again for the FIRST time in years, literally. I had remembered at that time that it wasn't one of my favorites but I DID remember it so I was expecting not to like it again. And to my surprise I discovered that I LIKED the song!!! And to this day, 35 years later, I STILL DO!
@elliott021 yes lots of songs that we heard back then did not sound great,but as you say years later they sound great and i love to make time to play all of my old songs,,they take me back to the good old days,,,and thats where i belong,,,,the 60"s were my best years,,when you could see what you were working for,,

Funny how our memories are lit by music. I was 10 years old when this song was playing. My Mother was preparing dinner and she always played the Radio when cooking. This song came on and she said with that soft voice of hers. Please turn that wonderful song up. I did not hesitate. The station got so many phone calls they played it again. Best dinner my mother ever cooked.
I hate my miserable life. I have nothing to live for. My job was outsourced. My wife left me for another woman. My house was foreclosed upon. My son has sexual identity issues which he plans to resolve in some Thailand gender-bender hospital. My daughter wants to be my son. My dog ran off leaving me a pile of crap on the front lawn. My housekeper is suing me for sexual harassment and other unmentionable crimes. I can only take so MUCH. It's time I took that final leap into the dark abyss--BYE
The Nu Pike, Long Beach, CA, summer 1964, riding the Wild Mouse roller coaster, and nearly wetting my pants from fright. I was nearing the age of ten. I was way too chicken to ride the Cyclone Racer.
@pataphysician66 My parents took me there in '64 as well when I was 6. Didn't the roller coaster go out over the water? And didn't a fire burn down the park shortly thereafter?
@ch1aka2 The Cyclone Racer was over the ocean for a time. I was on the Wilde Maus, not the Wild Mouse,. The Pike itself didn't burn down, but there was a fire that burnt down the beautiful carousel that was built by the same guy who built the Coney Island and Santa Monica Pier carousels.

I miss dusty so much. there are but 2 modern singers who can compare to her and they are not all that modern. Why did god make breast cancer? I miss dusty so much!
wow, didnt know she was a knockout!! Thought it was corney then, but now "yorkshiretraction" is right, here we are 40+ years later & half a million hits later.
I'm back to the 60's and 70's for listening pleasure. It seems todays growling distortion, angry vomitus, and senseless lyrics just give me a headache.
I really have been listening to things like Mancini "Two for the road" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" --I was young and missed those beautiful melodies, back then. " Moon River" still tears me up inside. Steely Dan. Doobie Bros. etc.
I remember singing this song at a talent show at school and I won i was so
shocked..I think they just liked the song not necessarily me singing it..She is
awesome & was during her era of music..Wow to have those days back
again would be amazing but yet they were also hard not as hard as kids have it now days we never had all the temptations that they have now days. It was so
cool to run across this song again & guess what "I Still Got It" lol.
@weightfeather1 Hey, thats an awesome memory. I was a 9 yr old kid at that time in Los Angeles and remember they'd play it a lot on Los Angeles radio. I think of my home our front room and watching the night;y news to see if we'd see our brother in Vietnam at that time on the news reports. But your memory is soo nice. Thanks for sharing friend.
My late brother loved this song as it reminded him of being a Marine stationed in Vietnam 1967-68 and sitting in a bunker overlooking a rice paddy hearing this playing on the radio. I sure miss him. He went through hell in that place and was never the same when he came back.
What a legend! I just love this Lady, thank you for posting this... I was pregnant with our first child when this song first hit the airwaves 43 years ago in Wellington NZ. Yes! I was 'Wishin' & Hopin' this baby would hurry, I had 2 weeks to go. Eventually he arrived. And today! we are still 'Wishin' and Hopin' for this child to grow up...divorced twice! with 4 beautiful children. As my husband is a minister of the church, we often refer to Dusty's other great hit - 'Son Of A Preacher Man'
@universalradio --if that is your guiding standard,.... then the Supremes, et al, should never have had a Motown recording .....or a hit... Beatles, too!
That was socialized "acceptance" in that era (Co-Dep) --but don't run down the obvious talent, please.
For me I'm 11...and squeezed in the back of the 64 Olds with various older sibs..the AM radio goes up,...all talking ceases,...time stops,...until the coronet squeezes the last note.
I lost track of the changes/shifts in this song--she nails every one and it sounds like 3 different people are singing this song.
Amazing voice--from a purr to a growl---and all points near by!
@rwwagsneb For me, it was my granddaddy's Bel Air, 1964 cool.....my older brother, with his peroxided " glow in the dark orange " hair.......and all the big kids reeked of English Leather or Hai Karate and I had to keep the window rolled down. But I didn't mind one bit.
@iamintheburg LOL ! Wow ..I'd forgotten about English leather and Hai Karate. Definitely a memory hook via the smell of those colognes. (Do they even use the word cologne, anymore ?)
Brylcreme is another tactile memory hook...even though I didn't use it.
I'm a few generations younger than when Dusty was at her peak. I actually discovered her amazing voice on a duo with the Pet Shop Boys. She's amazing! A legend in my opinion!
@weightfeather1 And that song had already been out 4 years. I remember when I first heard it. We were at the beach in southern California. It was indeed a great time with such great memories..........
Remember this song from "My Best Friend's Wedding"? Anyway, it's 90 degrees today, I've got two fans aimed my way and I'm trying to get my mind off the heat!
This song could have save a lot of marriage's :D I grew up listening to this and I am 23 now lol Years flew fast

This song came on and she said with that soft voice of hers. Please turn that wonderful song up. I did not hesitate. The station got so many phone calls they played it again. Best dinner my mother ever cooked.

I hate my miserable life. I have nothing to live for. My job was outsourced. My wife left me for another woman. My house was foreclosed upon. My son has sexual identity issues which he plans to resolve in some Thailand gender-bender hospital. My daughter wants to be my son. My dog ran off leaving me a pile of crap on the front lawn. My housekeper is suing me for sexual harassment and other unmentionable crimes. I can only take so MUCH. It's time I took that final leap into the dark abyss--BYE

Dusty did this song because she loved "Tell Him" by the Exciters, which essentially gives the same advice.

The Nu Pike, Long Beach, CA, summer 1964, riding the Wild Mouse roller coaster, and nearly wetting my pants from fright. I was nearing the age of ten. I was way too chicken to ride the Cyclone Racer.

@pataphysician66 My parents took me there in '64 as well when I was 6. Didn't the roller coaster go out over the water? And didn't a fire burn down the park shortly thereafter?

@ch1aka2 The Cyclone Racer was over the ocean for a time. I was on the Wilde Maus, not the Wild Mouse,. The Pike itself didn't burn down, but there was a fire that burnt down the beautiful carousel that was built by the same guy who built the Coney Island and Santa Monica Pier carousels.

@weightfeather1 --Ditto.
I'm back to the 60's and 70's for listening pleasure. It seems todays growling distortion, angry vomitus, and senseless lyrics just give me a headache.
I really have been listening to things like Mancini "Two for the road" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" --I was young and missed those beautiful melodies, back then. " Moon River" still tears me up inside. Steely Dan. Doobie Bros. etc.
A sign of aging...?? Probably so.

I remember singing this song at a talent show at school and I won i was so
shocked..I think they just liked the song not necessarily me singing it..She is
awesome & was during her era of music..Wow to have those days back
again would be amazing but yet they were also hard not as hard as kids have it now days we never had all the temptations that they have now days. It was so
cool to run across this song again & guess what "I Still Got It" lol.
Oh the memories...Thank God for them.

@weightfeather1 Hey, thats an awesome memory. I was a 9 yr old kid at that time in Los Angeles and remember they'd play it a lot on Los Angeles radio. I think of my home our front room and watching the night;y news to see if we'd see our brother in Vietnam at that time on the news reports. But your memory is soo nice. Thanks for sharing friend.
LosAngeleno1959 1 year ago
My late brother loved this song as it reminded him of being a Marine stationed in Vietnam 1967-68 and sitting in a bunker overlooking a rice paddy hearing this playing on the radio. I sure miss him. He went through hell in that place and was never the same when he came back.

What a legend! I just love this Lady, thank you for posting this... I was pregnant with our first child when this song first hit the airwaves 43 years ago in Wellington NZ. Yes! I was 'Wishin' & Hopin' this baby would hurry, I had 2 weeks to go. Eventually he arrived. And today! we are still 'Wishin' and Hopin' for this child to grow up...divorced twice! with 4 beautiful children. As my husband is a minister of the church, we often refer to Dusty's other great hit - 'Son Of A Preacher Man'

@universalradio --if that is your guiding standard,.... then the Supremes, et al, should never have had a Motown recording .....or a hit... Beatles, too!

@weightfeather1 -nice memory.
For me I'm 11...and squeezed in the back of the 64 Olds with various older sibs..the AM radio goes up,...all talking ceases,...time stops,...until the coronet squeezes the last note.
I lost track of the changes/shifts in this song--she nails every one and it sounds like 3 different people are singing this song.
Amazing voice--from a purr to a growl---and all points near by!

@rwwagsneb For me, it was my granddaddy's Bel Air, 1964 cool.....my older brother, with his peroxided " glow in the dark orange " hair.......and all the big kids reeked of English Leather or Hai Karate and I had to keep the window rolled down. But I didn't mind one bit.

@iamintheburg LOL ! Wow ..I'd forgotten about English leather and Hai Karate. Definitely a memory hook via the smell of those colognes. (Do they even use the word cologne, anymore ?)
Brylcreme is another tactile memory hook...even though I didn't use it.
