Jay & Amber, you'll love her "The Look Of Love" !!! edit -like today's song, its written by Hal David (lyrics) and Burt Bacharach (music). "Wishin' And Hopin' " first recorded by Dionne Warwick 1962. Burt loves workin' in those horns!
Luv Lulu most popular song "To Sir with Love" excellent song to react to and then have the Movie on Rob Squad Movie channel starring Sir Sidney Potier.
MAN, AMBER!! GREAT PICKS, TODAY, for FEMALE FRIDAY!!! ALL of them are some of my FAVORITE PERFORMERS!! LOVE Dusty Springfield!! I always thought she was just SO PRETTY, when I was a little girl....THANKS for these AWESOME TUNES, TODAY!! HAPPY FRIDAY, YA'LL!!! HUGS!!
Another wonderful Burt Bacharach-Hal David song! They knew how to find the most stellar women to interpret their work! You should review her rendition of Carole King’s “Goin’ Back” which was the B Side of “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” (In the UK). After that, you should try Carole’s version.
Jay and Amber you have to listen to my all-time favorite Dusty Springfield song, her duet with the Pet Shop Boys, “What Have I Done to Deserve This”. Dusty is in her prime!
Love Dusty's music. She had such a cool voice, I remember other songs she sang and its unforunate she was not appreciated more back then. Blessing to all. Your faithful follower. 🫶👍💜💯🎼
Check out Dusty's cover of the Van Morrison classic - Tupelo Honey as well as The Pet Shop Boys - What Have I Done To Deserve This on which Dusty sang.
Dusty's rendition of *"The Windmills of Your Mind"* is simply outstanding. 'Wishin & Hopin' was earlier in her career, before she went to record the LP 'Dusty In Memphis'. *(In November 1968, during the Memphis sessions, Springfield suggested to Wexler (one of the heads of Atlantic Records) that he should sign the newly formed UK band Led Zeppelin.)* So there's THAT! Matter of fact, I'm gonna listen to *"The Windmills of Your Mind"* right after this post is done. It's THAT good!
I just love about anything Dusty. This is such a great song. It was one of my favorites to listen years ago, on the job, over the PA system. As you guys point out, it just has such a cool vibe. Such a legend.
Damn, I always loved this song and remember it from my mom listening to the "oldies" station back in the 80's, but I always assumed it was a Motown song. I never knew it was Dusty!
A Memorable Song from an incredible period in music history, a cover that went to #6 on Billboard during Beatlemania and The British Invasion, such a time! :)
Great to see another Dusty song, one of the UK's best female vocalists. She was also responsible for introducing Motown music to the UK , which people went on to love. 'In the middle of nowhere' is another good one-Colin Ward
More Dusty you guys haven't checked out yet: "Breakfast in Bed", "Just a Little Lovin'", "The Look of Love", "Little By Little", and "The Windmills of Your Mind".
This song is such an earworm that as recently as this century did I sing, to my darlin', a version that went: "All you've gotta do is s--- him and f--- him...and on and on." Thankfully met with a sense of humor. Still alive. Once in a mountain restaurant with my papa, a mini jukebox was at the edge of the table, and I played this song.
Nice! If one wanted to, one could interpret this as a sexist song, but it's really not. It's about being active, rather than passive. It encourages women to get up and do something and make it happen, rather than just waiting for it to happen. Let's face it: It really isn't that hard to win over a man. But you do have to put some effort in.
One of my favorite female artist of all time! I started listening to her to her early on and was very sad when she passed rest in peace you are not forgotten❤
I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys reactions to music! I’m sure I have seen every single one of your videos and I can see how the music affects each one of you. A good groove or beat (Jay) or the emotions from the lyrics (Amber). I know you have friends in the business and I was wondering if you have ever considered getting with your co-reactors to do a meet and greet? I would love to meet you guys! Thanks for giving “The people what they want “ in such a genuine way! Peace and love to you! 😊
This is the song I sing to my dogs when they come into the kitchen when I’m cooking. Because they are wishing & hoping & thinking & dreaming & praying that I’ll drop something
Here is another Female Friday suggestion I made in the past, that is jazz royalty; Nancy Wilson. “Guess who I saw today” is a great song with a great story and a surprising ending. You will ask where she has been as well.
THE THREE DEGREES - " Woman In Love " absolutely one the 70s best in Romance / Soul / Dreamy Love Songs Hi Tempo Groove you guys are gonna love this phenomenal lyrics song with Heart & Soul + Amazing Chorus 🎶 It's not the Barbara Streisand Woman In Love Wich is also Incredible too.Both are WOW!! Beautiful
Speaking’s of Brits, have you heard of Lulu? She did a great song called “To Sir, With Love” from the great movie “Blackboard Jungle” starring Sidney Poitier, one of the best black actors of all time. Lulu was in the movie too, and sang the song to Sidney at the end (I think it was at the end? Someone correct me if I’m wrong). Also, Lulu was married to Bee Gee twin Maurice (Morris) Gibb for a short time. Note: The movie is “To Sir, With Love”, not “Blackboard Jungle”, though Sidney co-starred in that movie.
Yes they have and they reacted to Sir with Love not to long after Sidney Poitier’s death. But the name of the movie is To Sir with Love from 1967. Blackboard Jungle is another film all together from the 1950’s.
@@elizabethfranco1284 … Thanks 😊! I’m always getting those mixed up, even though I should know the song is the title of the movie. Never used to do stuff like that when I was younger. Will correct my post.
This for me is the only time a Burt Bacharach /Hal David song sung by anyone but Dionne Warwick compares to the original. I had the pleasure of seeing Dusty do this in 1964 or 65 here in NYC, along with "I Only Want To Be With You". She was an amazing, personable performer who, unlike Dionne at the time, commanded the stage.
I was the one to play at school in dorm when someone got engaged we would sing her song about true love. Memories!❤❤we would have a candle passing around in the hallway and would end up with the engaged one!❤
Thanks for another Dusty Springfield reaction. For the many of you who are listening to her music for the first time here is a complete list of her best songs which are many. I've been listening to Dusty's music since her first hit "I Only Want To Be With You" came out in 1963. 1) Stay Awhile 2) You Don't Have To Say You Love Me 3) Anyone Who Had A Heart 4) You Don't Own Me 5) I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself 7) Son Of A Preacher Man 6) The Corrupt Ones 7) The Sweet Ride 8) What Have I Done To Deserve This 9) Nothing Has Been Proved 10) Arrested By You 11) In Private 12) Reputation. Enjoy newbies!
Before going out solo in 1963, Dusty also did some great stuff with The Springfields (who included her brother Tom). Their songs usually had Dusty singing alone for a few bars, and it was obvious she would become a huge star in her own right before long. Their best-known records included Breakaway, Say I Won't Be There, Island Of Dreams, and their big US hit Silver Threads And Golden Needles.
The 45 of this became the very first record I ever bought~ I rode my bike a long way to get it ~ even some of those early Beatles records could not compete
One of my favourite Dusty songs. The Merseybeats did an excellent version of this too. Reached No.13 in the UK in 1964. Dusty's version was a hit in the USA.
I absolutely loved the remake of this song for the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding with Julia Roberts. Annie Difranco sang and performed the song with 3 other ladies I think at the beginning of movie? The dance routine they did together was so cute.🥰 I bought the soundtrack because of this song in the dance routine if they did.
"I Only Want To Be With You" is my fav by Dusty.
Mine too. They reacted to that one already.
Mine as well! hope you had a great 4th.
yes please do the song with the Pet Shop Boys!
Yes definitely.
That's a great song but I really enjoy the song All I See Is You. She lets that beautiful voice soar.
Another British female singer from this era is Petula Clark. I don’t know if you have ever reacted to her. Her biggest hit was called Downtown but she had several other hits.
Yes! I was thinking of Petula the other day! Where would one even begin?
@@Earcandy73 I have requested her at least a few times. If she still gives interviews, that would be a great guest for them to do on their interviews.
They did Downtown 2 years ago. That's the only one of hers they've done so far.
They've reacted to her once. Predictably, Jay was underwhelmed.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_(Petula_Clark_album) Jimmy Page played on that album!
My Lady Dusty would not sing to segregated audiences. #Class
She was !
Beatles would not either...most English acts would not. Ironic isn't it? segregated audiences however were a mornoic concept.
@@thomastimlin1724 How is it ironic?

"The Look of Love" is another Dusty classic.
Possibly the sexiest song ever.
Or Breakfast in Bed, or Spooky
Yeah "look" please, Amber & Jay☺
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "The Look Of Love" !!!
edit -like today's song, its written by Hal David (lyrics) and Burt Bacharach (music). "Wishin' And Hopin' " first recorded by Dionne Warwick 1962.
Burt loves workin' in those horns!
Yes
Gladys Knight did the best rendition of “ The look of love “ no other version comes even close .
Love Dusty but Gladys Knight does the best version of that song.
imo of course.
She was a big star in the 1960s I grew up with her music thanx for giving it a listen.
Good song.⭐ Dusty has had many great songs. RIP Dusty Springfield.💗🙏
Once again , Amber hits the nail on the head. This was a different time but Amber gets the message. 😊
Her rendition of The Look of Love is her best song.
❤
Agree, it's sultry, smoky and sexy and has a great sax too.
I’ve loved Dusty since the 60’s along with Cilla Black and Petula Clark and Lulu.
Luv Lulu most popular song "To Sir with Love" excellent song to react to and then have the Movie on Rob Squad Movie channel starring Sir Sidney Potier.
@@longshank59 they reacted to that song two years ago
This song was written by Burt Bacharach. Many of his songs were first sung by Dionne Warwick. Dionne sang it first but I love Dusty's version best.
Also Mr. Hal David
@@himaxize Yes Hal David was the lyricist. Bacharach wrote the music
Dusty Springfield did a duet with The Pet Shop Boys - "What have I done to deserve this?". It was a big hit.
They also produced "In Private".
MAN, AMBER!! GREAT PICKS, TODAY, for FEMALE FRIDAY!!! ALL of them are some of my FAVORITE PERFORMERS!! LOVE Dusty Springfield!! I always thought she was just SO PRETTY, when I was a little girl....THANKS for these AWESOME TUNES, TODAY!! HAPPY FRIDAY, YA'LL!!! HUGS!!

Love Dusty's music. She had such a cool voice, I remember other songs she sang and its unforunate she was not appreciated more back then. Blessing to all. Your faithful follower. 🫶👍💜💯🎼
You can't keep doing Female Fridays without honoring one of the truly great female singers of the late 60's/early 70's.....DIONNE WARWICK.
Totally agree. Can't believe they haven't done any of her hits.
Yes. Don't Make Me Over is one of my favorites!
Martha & the Vandellas?????
Dionne Warwick did the soundtrack for the movie...Valley of the Dolls....awesome!
Especially her early work like Walk on By
Haven't heard this in a while. Thank you for reminding me!
Please do her take on "The Look of Love" where she shows her smoky, sultry voice.
So i ran across you two today and went down memory lane. So glad to be born in the 50’s and growing up with most of your play list.
I love this singer from the 60s.! Her voice was so awesome. ❤

They used this as opening in mivie "My best friend's wedding ", hilarious 😂
No one ever sounded like the great Dusty.

Wonderful
Very 60’s vibe. Love it.❤
one of the top 5 female singers ever
"The look of Love" should be your next Dusty Springfield reaction.
Totally agree ~ !
So many Dusty classics! Close My Eyes And count To Ten is another great one!

You should check out her duet with Pet Shop Boys "What Have I Done to Deserve This".
Dusty was awesome and a BIG TIME party girl! Unfortunately,she died of cancer.
Son of a Preacher Man will always be my favorite. Ms. Joss Stone has done absolute KILLER versions of it.
Ms Joss is Stone cold. 😇
Love dusty so much.
Simply fell in love with her. Still do. Thank you.

Amazing song
Such a great voice.Just a wonderful lady. Sultry
Dusty Springfield's duet with Burt Bacharach "A House is not A Home" is an absolute must for a reaction❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A lifetime favorite
Dusty Springfield had alot of great songs sing right along with her
This is the song I sing to my dogs when they come into the kitchen when I’m cooking.
Because they are wishing & hoping & thinking & dreaming & praying that I’ll drop something
Jay loved it
My favorite Dusty Springfield song from the summer of 64, listened to this on the beach at the Jersey shore. My cousin had the same hair
My favorite song of hers is "the look of love". She'll melt you with that one!
Yes . . . Dionne! Start with one of her earliest: “I Smiled Yesterday.”
Here is another Female Friday suggestion I made in the past, that is jazz royalty; Nancy Wilson. “Guess who I saw today” is a great song with a great story and a surprising ending. You will ask where she has been as well.
Dusty was first-wave British invasion along with Beatles. Love the soul she puts into her voice on the bridge.
The hardest working couple in show business! Thanks for all the music.
I love her voice. That huskiness. One of my fave female voices in pop.
