Great clip of Dusty Springfield performing "At Midnight". I haven't got this song in my collection. Was it ever released?!

[DustyJaneway]

As far as I am aware, it wasn't. I haven't got all of her later albums though, so maybe it is included on one of those?

[Allenn812]

Thank you so much!

[DustyJaneway]

No problem :) I shall have the full version of the Son Of A Preacher Man up on here soon, and possibly a few new vids!!

Dusty is thrilling to watch here and reminds me of when this legend appeared in 82 at LA's Greek Theater and I was up close and have never forgotten the brilliance of her magical performance...it was surreal watching her! Bravo Dusty and you are missed...White Heat came out around the time of this clip and Dusty rocks out with the best of them but this song was not released to my knowledge.

Some other examples of BRILLIANT Dusty LIVE performances that were never recorded in a studio for an album:

"Up On The Roof", "People Get Ready", "Get Ready", "El Baion", "Peel Me A Grape", "Natural Woman", "I Don't Want To Go On Without You".

All are available on YouTube for viewing and are 100% BRILLIANT performances that rival any singer of her generation. And actually, her last live performance of "Where Is A Woman To Go?" is a pretty kick-ass performance too!

You are missed Dusty!! RIP

This song was never on an actual album nor was it ever recorded in a studio, like many of Dusty's songs...and some of her best performances.

abbafan999-I doubt Dusty said that, as the first 10+ years of her career were almost all live performing, from her time touring with The Springfields to her various TV shows, she was constantly singing live.

I believe it was later in her career, that she avoided live performing as much.

Some of her best performances, in my view, were live.

@DustyJaneway I feel so bad for Dusty sometimes. I don't know why people couldn't just accept the fact that she was a lesbian, and gtfo off her back.

[pecs2006]

Simply outstanding.

[tightfistedtitans]

hard drugs and liquor definitely affect one's coordination and voice. such a shame. oh well

[abbafan999]

What makes me laugh is that I've read that Dusty has been quoted to had said that she was a perfectionist in the studio because when you make a record it stays for ever so it has to be right whereas if you do a poor live performance you can hope your audience will forget about it and move on. We're all reviewing her live performances these days me included. They are here to stay thanks to you tube. I think she'd be horrified if she knew that would happen!

[abbafan999]

I agree, at times on Reputation I think she sounds like her 60s self and for 50 it's understandable that she wasn't doing those silky high notes as much as she did in the early 70s.

[mnmcv1]

she was definitely more hoarse and the vocals lower by the time she did REPUTATION, but the voice is still there and unmistakeable.

There are moments on "Send it to Me", "Daydreaming", "Nothing Has Been Proved" and the title track where she does sound like her old self.

Dusty was 50 though, and turbulent life she had led had undoubtedly affected her voice...

[mnmcv1]

Dusty's attempts at disco were limited (I think only "That's the Kind of Love I've Got For You", "Baby Blue" and "Your Love Still Brings Me to My Knees" were the only real disco songs she recorded)...I think if she had been paired with the right song it would've clicked.

This definitely isnt the right song, but Dusty's always worth watching... :)
