I loved Dusty Springfield's sound and, I concur with everything you've said.

Beverleyboo, most of the British invasion hadn't covered Motown. The beatles paid tribute to Smokey Robinson and featured a couple of his compositions on their first albums. However, most of the others, Stones, Animals, Kinks early influnences were blues. And a lot of bluesmen, ignored in the USA by the white audience and not making much money at all were very grateful as royalty cheques rolled in and whites started to go see the people the Stones and others had credited with

Conversely, by the time the "British Invasion" hit America, they came armed with many songs they "covered" from American artists, including Motown Artists. One might argue that there was a mutual exchange for each side: Motown got exposure in Britain armed with the original songs which had been covered; British artists gained a following in America by emulating the styles and songs of American soul singers. This is my opinion and I am entitled to have it.

And how do you work that out? The British Invasion was before Motown had much success in Britain. Apart from Mods not many were buying Motown stuff. The Motown Tour was playing to half full theatres. Dusty moved heaven and earth to get this special done. They flew in the Temptations for the show who hadn't been on the tour. After this show went out demand grew enormously.

The Motown artists certainly knew what a good thing Dusty had done for them.

If it weren't for the Motown artists, the so called "British Invasion" never would have been as successful.
