  • @saaamcollins lmao

  • They don't make artists like this anymore! A stunning talent with great stage presence.

  • LOL cause she's a lesbian...?

  • Women don't do this much anymore, they lost the woman somewhere between the 50's and now!

  • Great song by a great singer, but where did you get those lovely pics

  • Great Tune!!!

  • LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FANTASTIC SONG

    SHOW HIM THAT YOU CARE!!!

    FANTASTIC CHA CHA DANCE 1964!!!

  • Dusty was a very special lady xx

  • everyone who dislikes this should die a painful death

  • @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.

    So basically, go fuck yourself.

  • when i was 10 i loved this song,i still do

  • lovely chord progression. great voice of course.

  • My Mom always said how great she was. She is freakin awesome!

  • oh I met him. dizzyloo. years ago. I'm still wishin and hopin.

  • The most beautiful woman.  Ever.

  • dear dusty, i was just a kid when you were singin your heart out, now i`v grown up and i wish you were still here, xx

  • Just imagin Going into Battle of war listening to this music! I would laugh my Ass off! and then Laugh even more!

  • But you actually have to meet him first!

  • whenever i hear this song i think about his guy that i want to be mine...

  • A missed beautiful voice. Her voice bring back good memories.

  • I love the message in this song...Dusty is just sayin'...go get yo man girl...go-get-YOUR-man! LOL. Love it! Peace.

  • 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.

  • Respond to this video...

    

  • My parents are divorced. I play this on the anniversary of their divorce every year. I'm an ass, I know.

    

  • @GthmCtyRogue hahahahahahahahahahah

    You are just giving back to the community the shit it gave to you at first lol

  • Summer of 1964......

  • British music is too good man

  • @BackInAGiffy This was written by two Americans

  • @scampben granted but she sings it and makes it brilliant, i respect American Music it is great too :)

  • that was one soulful brit mama,luv u forever hun!

  • 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.

  • Heard this on the day that I left tor the Military....Safe to say that I will never forget it.

  • I wanna see lady gagshit compose a timeless classic like this.

  • @DanielJoseDiego Never Dusty would eat her alive

  • @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..

  • @DanielJoseDiego

    Actually, Lady Gaga is highly trained in classical piano. She happens to be quite smart.

  • don't get drunk be for firing heavy machine guns

  • 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.

  • Sooo coool! Thanks!

  • 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

  • So if you are thinking of how to get your man just listen to this......and you will be hhiisss.thanks 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.

  • Great song, very very gay vid.

  • One of those songs when I was very young (8) and I played over and over agian on the record player. 

  • Whose artwork is this? Pretty damn good.

  • 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!!

    LOVE YOU MUM!!

  • ok greates white [and british] female soul singer ever

  • the best british female soul singer of all time

  • @brianmac1011 Replace British with "white" and I am in absolute agreement with you.

  • That voice is excellent, beautiful woman!

  • 17 (& up) are wishing and hoping and thinking and praying that today's music is better than 60s/70s/80s music .....

  • Great song, what's king of voice, God

  • 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. : /

  • @bobbyd7085 Get a new job? 

  • 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 ??

  • Many of the greatest female singers like Dusty and Petula clark to name a few came from England..Dusty R.I.P.

  • @555shortstop also Olivia Newton-John (though she grew up in Oz), Bananarama, Boy George, Spice Girls, Kim Wilde

  • @corrupt200 and Marianne Faithfull my favourite ever british female singer.

  • I bet a gay man put this video together - all those hunks are too good looking to be straight

  • 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.

  • Greatest female voice of all time!

  • You think after all the womens lib-some chick is gonna do all that--maybe there,s still a few left--That throw there rags on, and appeal anyways-lol

  • rip dusty what a lady she was

  • 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

  • what a voice!

    burt bacharach wrote so many great songs sang by the best voices ever.

    great song, thanks for posting. 

  • I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SONG.GROWING UP MY FEMALE CUZ ALWAYS HAD THE RADIO ON.

  • Long Live Dusty!

  • Dusty..This was your best song..Thanks for all of your wonderful music..RIP.

  • Nice Irish girl.

  • @Cromag99 Yes and what a voice one of the very best RIP

  • Dusty, you're so lovely...thank you for sharing your beautiful 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!

  • 1964---12yo---My first true love...Rita Ribando...gawd I loved her..thanks for the video

  • Twelve Years ago today: Dusty Springfield 16/4/39 to 2/3/ 1999 R.I.P Dusty, thank you for the music. Ray ♥♥

  • 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.

  • @1bountifulinc Yes, because obviously lesbianism and feminity are mutually exclusive. Moron.

  • @Alathaea I'm not exactly sure of what you mean by that.

  • I was not alive when this song came out

  • I was sixteen, at an English boarding school and also in love with Francoise Hardy. Somehow I survived all this trauma, and am now a grand father.

  • 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,,

  • I heard that Dusty is a lesbo. Please say it ain't so.

  • @1bountifulinc Read about Dusty in Winipekia and find out about her life.

    Who would of ever guessed that she was so Troubled!

    Such a Beautiful Lady who enjoyed Women.

  • @1bountifulinc what difference does it make if she was GAY or not?

  • Dusty's the best

  • Very creative, nicely done! Thanks for posting, love your imagination!

  • @weepingboy3: ....."see ya.".......

  • Dusty was an Icon in the 60's!

  • I remember seeing her on Ed sullivan singing this song. I,d be about 10 and I have loved it ever since.

  • We could sure cha-cha to this song in the 60's and still today!!!

    Love it!

  • I have just watched the drama " toast" which was on over over xmas this song captures that era so well

    thanks for some happy memories

  • 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.

  • @CrimsonChampions That's a beautiful story and memory......

  • @CrimsonChampions Were you listening to WSGN or WVOK?

  • yeah that's music. I'm spanish and I love the oldies music

  • @CrimsonChampions Best comment on this post. Thanks for the lump in my throat. I miss my mom.

  • @CrimsonChampions that was the gayest shit ever

  • 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

  • @weepingboy3 Cheer up boy........

  • @weepingboy3 PRAT CHOPS!!!!! MY MOTHER SITS AND WEEPS BETWEEN MY BROTHER AND MY FATHERS GRAVES- AND YOUR PROBLEM IS WHAT EXACTLY??????

  • @weepingboy3 PRAT CHOPS!!! MY MOTHER SIT'S AND WEEPS BETWEEN MY BROTHER AND FATHERS GRAVES!!! AND YOUR PROBLEM IS WHAT EXACTLY?????????

  • 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.

  • @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. It was such a seedy place, but I loved it!

  • What's the significance of the pics in this video?

  • Best cha-cha song out there, or maybe one of the best!!!

  • lol i was 8 when i found out that 60's are my favorite

  • q buena cancion i love this song

  • Great song - - -great memories..

  • wow .............great song from the sixties

  • great song thanks

  • @weightfeather1 What a great reminiscence. I wanted to be all the things Dusty's song wanted me to be.

  • Dusty's female companion of many years was a London Barister. Probably her great love. Does anybody know her name. RIP Dusty, you are missed!

  • 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!

  • whos the woman at 0:26 ?

  • She has such a great attitude to match that voice. Love her. Girls should listen and learn.

  • * * * * *

  • perfect sound...thanks for sharing.

  • 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.

    That is timeless music at its very best.

  • Miss you lots Dusty xx

  • @weightfeather1 : Nice picture you painted right there, mate.

  • Dusty was something else! She was wonderfull and we all miss her so much. I hope she is happy in lesbian heaven, she deserves to be happy!

  • @weightfeather1 my admiration to you, my friend for your witty take on Willie Laura Mae Jones. You have impeccable tastes, my friend.

  • @weightfeather1 Just don't who this information is supposed to benefit?.

    Like talking about DEAD people who can't defend theirself?.

    Stories like this are usually a bunch o POOP NO Basis ZILCHO NADA.

    I Loved Dusty Leave her ALONE!

  • legend

  • This is a GREAT song.  It was shared on Facebook today by a good friend.

  • @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.

  • @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 VOICE

  • You can suck Dusty Springfield's vagina now, LADY GAGA !!!

  • the pictures of the dudes in this video are weird, but man I love the song

  • 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'

  • Im a young 60 year old ,god i loved this girls superb music!!! you cant beat total class.

  • I'm a 12 but yet this song is one of my favourites, Dusty Springfield has to be my favourite artist, why can't music be like this nowadays? x

  • Dusty you left us a beautiful legacy of fabulous songs that we continue to enjoy every day. You are truly missed. May you Rest in Peace...John

  • Love the song, but it's basically about being a co-dependent.

  • @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.

  • @universalradio Co-dependent would be a word for couples who love each other, invented by couples who hate each other?

  • On of a kind-there is no other voice like hers nor will there ever be. 

  • @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!

    Thanks for posting this jarbythedoor !

  • @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.

    Thanks.

  • Great, great singer, one of the best female pop singers. 5/5 and playlisted. Thanks.

  • Boy can Dusty sing! She is arguably the best female singer ever and this is a mighty song from the 60s!

  • thanks for sharing the great song

  • 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!

  • This is what Cara Does

  • THERE WAS ONLY 1 DUSTY !!!!!

  • @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..........

  • LOVE IT!

  • @weightfeather1 what a top class comment! THANK YOU.

  • 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!

    God Bless.

  • One of those rare songs that break the pc stranglehold !
