No she phookin ISNT underrated 🤦♂️ Maybe by YOU , but the rest of us know exactly how good she was and her place in the pantheon of female singers .. ffs 👍🏴
Petula Clark was the "Queen" of the British invasion because not only was she good, she was very appealing to everyone of all ages. even the parents liked her lol. She had already been child star and singer in British TV and movies before she ever landed in the USA. She had a great partner in songwriting hits in Tony Hatch as well. He was phenomenal and I appreciated his work the more I learned about him. Over all Petula was a sweetie to everybody, appreciated her fans. Very classy. But this doesn't take away from the greatness of Dusty, she was a different kind of singer with more soul and less of the "show business " approach that Petula had been trained in. These two really were very appealing in the USA. Lulu would have made more hit records here too if they had given her the right material...a fantanstic singing voice and a big smile - dynamite delivered in a smaller package. Cilla Black is really the one underappreciated...they never gave her a flippin' chance in the USA. Again it could have been the material and not the singer - she obviously was a superstar in England. Lovable person also. Perhaps Shirley Bassey and Helen Shapiro weren't given much of a chance in the USA either.
This song. It was written by the brilliant songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Stan Getz recorded an instrumental version. Dusty was the first to record the lyrics. Many artists have covered it including Isaac Hayes and Nina Simone. If done right, like this version, it is a romantic song for dancing....and passionate moments.
This is one of the great British female singers from the 60's. She had such a beautiful unique voice & covered many genres (blue-eyed soul, pop ,ballads, country, jazz). "Son Of A Preacher Man" is her most famous song. But she had a lot of hits such as "Wishin' & Hopin'", "I Only Want To Be With You", "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", "I'll Try Anything", "The Windmills Of Your Mind", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" & many more.
Great songs there. Fun fact : Cameron Diaz absolutely mangles 'I don't know what to do with myself' in a (deliberately) cringey karaoke performance in the 1997 rom-com My Best Friend's Wedding. The clip is on UA-cam, - stuff of nightmares. 😳🤭 "Wishing and Hoping" is also in that movie, in the humorous opening montage. And the best Son of a Preacher Man cover I ever heard is by British soul singer Joss Stone, she was kind of known for it. One of the first songs I downloaded to a device as a kid. It's on UA-cam. She's kind of my hero also for always performing barefoot; she hates fancy shoes and refuses to limp around in stilleto torture devices like other singers. You tell 'em, Joss! My toes and I applaud you.
The best singers know when to push and when to back off, they are about the song content and not themselves. Dusty is one of the greats because of that. Linda Ronstadt was the same way.
Dusty's version of Look of Love is by far the best. Listen to her Windmills of Your Mind... perfection. If you want to check out more Petula Clark, listen to Don't Sleep in the Subway or Kiss Me Goodbye.
Dusty Springfield is One of my all-time favorite female vocalist of the 60's and 70's . She has such a sensuous vocal and this song is one of my all-time favorite songs from her. I have 2 albums by her. I love Dusty. ♥♥♥
You ask "How can you not love this?", but the song was only a moderate hit back in the day. There hasn't been a voice like hers since she passed. I doubt there will ever be another like her.
I love it! I never heard it by Dusty!!! I am familiar with the "Sergeo Mendez and Brazil 66" version. This is so beautiful! Thanks, Jay, for turning me on to it!
Written, composed, and arranged by Mr. Burt Bacharach. This song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and featured in the movie “Casino Royal”. His huge catalogue of songs were all beautiful, sensual and melodic. Great reaction! This was Dusty’s masterpiece.
This played during the scene in Casino Royale where Peter Sellers is romancing Ursula Andress. Dusty totally created the mood of the scene. You really should do a movie reaction to Casino Royale. It was perhaps the best spoof of the James bond movies.
One of my favorite female vocalist of all time… To me highly underrated to most that know music top-of-the-line! I was very sad when she passed early in her life, but she left us a legacy of great music. May she rest in peace🙏🙏🙏‼️‼️‼️
You may consider doing a review on the duet she did with the Pet Shop Boys in the late 80s. I think it was called "what have I done to deserve this." An odd combination of artists, but it worked.
If you liked this YOU REALLY NEED to check out Roberta Flack's "The First Time Every I Saw Your Face." It's a little slower, but even more intimate than this, and as beautiful as this song is and Dusty's voice is, Roberta's voice and that song are twice as beautiful.
Agree, Jay! Late 50's and '60s (and '70s) music the very best for female singers. This song, written by writing duo, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, appeared in the 1967 Bond movie, "Casino Royale" sung by Dusty and it was Oscar-nominated for that year's best song. "Wishin' and Hopin'" from 1964, went to #6 on the charts and it was also written by Bacharach and David. They certainly don't make 'em like they used to.
Already reacted to this song 3 years ago when Sidney Poitier passed away. I agree on Jay should react to the movie too. Is the movie reaction channel on pause?...
Burt Bacharach and Hal David (songwriters) at the top of their game, and Dusty *brings it home* ! "I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you"…just classic. Featured in the first film version (there was a TV adaptation before that) of "Casino Royale", the first James Bond novel. (The film was basically a disaster but in an entertaining way.)
This lovely song brings to mind other 60s songs written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, especially those recorded by Dionne Warwick, such as DON'T MAKE ME OVER (1962) & ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART (1963). They share something in phrasing & cadences. Good stuff!
Prior to her solo success, Dusty was in a group called (obviously) 'The Springfields' with her brother Tom (the successful songwriter who wrote a lot of hits for The Seekers). The Springfields biggest hit was 'Island of Dreams.'
Love this song! I was 8 when this came out and I remember my parents dancing to it in my living room thinking they were crazy! Great memories! Thanks Jay
I remember her when I was growing up. Even as a kid I loved listening to her. The song just sounds sultry. I can just imagine her being on state in Vegas singing at a casino.
This was the first song I bought to play on the 4-track stereo in my 1967 SS Chevelle. Check out Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. Their song The Girl From Ipanema was sung by a young woman (I forget her name). Great song
If you’ve never done Dusty singing I Only Want To Be With You then you’re missing out on probably her most upbeat performance. 🔥🔥🔥 I had such a crush on her as a teen, only to find out decades later that she was gay. They had to largely remain closeted because it was unfortunately considered to be a career killer to go public at that time. Dusty was indeed special.
The type of song of that era...I could hear Leslie Gore singing that one. They are such fun upbeat songs. You hear that on the way to work and you walk into the place with a better attitude to get through the day.
*@thomastimlin1724* What a great song, no buildup, it hits the ground running and never lets up the whole way through. Like you said, it picks you right up and stays with you.
Beautiful from Dusty, with this Burt Baccarach song. 'I close my eyes and count to ten' and 'Going back' are other great ones. Before going solo she was in a group called The Springfields.
I think Mike Myers said he got the idea for his first Austin Powers movie after listening to this song. I can't decide if I love this one or Son of a Preacher Man more. I remember when it was released in 1967...when I was 7 😊 Her voice is smokey sublime. Thank you, J. ❤❤
Thank you for this! Definitely has a "feel" to it. I am going to echo what's listed below. We are more than ready for some Petula Clark. "Colour my world", "Round every Corner" are just a couple of her stellar tunes.
Classic real dame of 60's music. Her brother, Tommy, was a great songwriter probably best known for writing two of the biggest hits fir The Seekers: I'll never find another you...and...Georgy Girl. He was just more in the background. Both superb musicians. Both dead. Both deserve being remembered for their contributions to the wonderful 60's sounds.
Always loved the '50s and '60s music,don't listen to anything else.Dusty Springfield was constantly played on the radio when I was a kid,looking back it was an exciting time,we had no idea back then that the songs of that time would be considered classics decades later. I've devoted my life to the music and hope the modern generation like it too so that it lives on. Keep up the good work Jay,best wishes to Amber. 😀👍
I first heard the version by Gladys Knight but I think there's something about Ms Springfield's voice that elevates it, Dionne Warwick and Diana Krall have both done good versions. Another of Burt Bacharach's legendary song writing
So glad you mentioned Petula Clark. She is under rated and needs more reviews.
No she phookin ISNT underrated 🤦♂️

I agree, she was around long before her hit Downtown and my favourite is the Charlie Chaplin number ‘This is my song’!

Bobbie Gentry did a great cover of Son Of A Preacher Man way back during my senior year in high school 1969.
@@Paladin70
I'll look it up, thank you.
"Spooky" is another great track from Dusty.
Haha My name is Donna Marie Bernadette O'Brien 😂😂
I’m glad you’re keeping up the Female Friday.
One of the all time great voices. Dusty could belt when she needed but also knew the power of a whisper ❤
The best singers know when to push and when to back off, they are about the song content and not themselves. Dusty is one of the greats because of that. Linda Ronstadt was the same way.
No one sounded like Dusty, she had one of those unique voices that are instantly recognizable. ✌️
I love how the saxophone mimics her voice. Amazing recording. She was so good
I like a Sergio Mendes version too~! ^^
The sax is very prominent in this. Do we know who's playing sax? Guess I'll Google it.
Dusty's version of Look of Love is by far the best. Listen to her Windmills of Your Mind... perfection. If you want to check out more Petula Clark, listen to Don't Sleep in the Subway or Kiss Me Goodbye.
Agree, please...Petula Clark ~ Don't Sleep in The Subway (1967)
I agree. Dusty’s version is the best.😊
Agreed! By far the best.
Her Windmills of Your Mind is fire!
I love Dusty Springfield. Such a talent. ❤
Quite simply one of the most romantic songs ever written, and no one could have delivered it better than Dusty Springfield!
Dusty Springfield is One of my all-time favorite female vocalist of the 60's and 70's . She has such a sensuous vocal and this song is one of my all-time favorite songs from her. I have 2 albums by her. I love Dusty. ♥♥♥
The 50s,60s, 70s, were the Mecca for talents that will never be surpassed.

As a teenage boy I found it impossible not to be in love with Dusty. I'm 75 and nothing's changed.
Your lady would probably love this track with it''s wonderful horns & Sax.
Dusty is flawless. Thanks Jay.
Love Dusty. She has been one of my favorites from day 1. Song by the great Burt Bacharach who was a gift to the world.
Ahhh, did not know that..thanks for the info😊
Written, composed, and arranged by Mr. Burt Bacharach. This song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and featured in the movie “Casino Royal”. His huge catalogue of songs were all beautiful, sensual and melodic. Great reaction! This was Dusty’s masterpiece.

Such a sweet voice, that even when she gives her power, it’s still soft and sensual. Best version of this song in my opinion.
Her live duet with Burt Bacharach on A House Is Not A Home is just about the loveliest most moving duet ever.
Dusty is just one of the all time best singers, period.
Dusty sang the original and delivers the best rendition of this Bacharach/David classic standard.
Believe the song was in the 60’s version of Casino Royal.
@neighborhoodcatlady6094
Yes.
This is a classical masterpiece with Dusty sultry, jazzy and soulful singing and top notch instrumentals by talented artists as well.🎶🎼🎵
The only other version that comes close to this one is by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. More of a groove, as opposed to Dusty's sultry sexy performance.
The Look of Love was written for the 1967 James Bond Spoof movie Casino Royale ❤
I didn’t know that
@@mildredpierce4506, I've seen that movie enough to have that scene branded on my brain!
Makes an odd appearance in an odd scene which it out-performs by a long way! I liked the madness of the movie too though, what a cast! Worth a look.
Thanks I didn’t know that.
Love that movie, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen
Adore her may she R.I.P. Her voice is so unique, I've never heard anyone close to it. Every and any song she ever sang is fantastic.
I love her cover of Anyone Who Had A Heart.
One of my Favourite songs of all time ...Dusty Kills it. Thanks for the review
One of my favorite female vocalist of all time… To me highly underrated to most that know music top-of-the-line! I was very sad when she passed early in her life, but she left us a legacy of great music. May she rest in peace🙏🙏🙏‼️‼️‼️
and the sax in this song has got to be the most sexiest Sax sound in music history!! I freakiing Love her.

Actually it was nominated but didn't win. Talk to the Animals won (if you can believe that). Should have won!
@@Linda-zm6lk Thank you for that! The winning song was from "Doctor Dolittle." Ha. I had to edit it. ;-)
One of my cats is named Dusty because, when she was a kitten, the look ... of love ... was in ... her eyes.
Now you have to do "To Sir, With Love" by Lulu!
That would be a great movie reaction too...
Already reacted to this song 3 years ago when Sidney Poitier passed away. I agree on Jay should react to the movie too. Is the movie reaction channel on pause?...
My favourite Dusty song, you can just imagine slow dancing in a smoky nightclub way back when....... Just sublime, it's so beautifully crafted ❤️
This song was HUGE when I was a kid!
one of the all-time great songs and records
Burt Bacharach and Hal David (songwriters) at the top of their game, and Dusty *brings it home* !
"I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you"…just classic.
Featured in the first film version (there was a TV adaptation before that) of "Casino Royale", the first James Bond novel. (The film was basically a disaster but in an entertaining way.)
Great comment ❤
She had such a voice! No words! Her life was a mess! And her relationships! A voice like this doesn't come without cost to the performer!
I was so lucky to grow up with this music. Thank you for sharing and experiencing it with us. ❤
Amazing how that sax sounds so much like Dusty's voice and vice versa
This lovely song brings to mind other 60s songs written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, especially those recorded by Dionne Warwick, such as DON'T MAKE ME OVER (1962) & ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART (1963). They share something in phrasing & cadences. Good stuff!
🔥🔥🔥Dusty 🔥🔥🔥 no other can give this the smoldering emotion that takes over the room when this one is played.
Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66 do a great rendition of look of love,try it some time
That’s the one I knew growing up.
@ me too
Yes!!
love her voice and i love petula clark to
Hey, hope you are feeling better emotionally. Listening to this song by Dusty has got to chase the blues away. Sending hugs your way. God bless.
Dusty ‘s voice is perfect 😍
An absolute classic I love Dusty

Timeless gold...

What a great song and singer. Love the sax at the end....
And the trumpets ha ha
Thank you for coming back to Dusty. I've been a lifelong fan. I love how her voice sounds just like a saxaphone on this. ❤
Another crush from the day! Thanks.

I actually have this on vinyl, on the Casino Royale soundtrack. Awesome pick!
That voice.
A gorgeous song!
She was an incredible singer and had so many great songs.
One of my favorites! Truly beautiful.
I remember her when I was growing up. Even as a kid I loved listening to her. The song just sounds sultry.

This song was really popular and felt like love back then, She was really popular with all her songs especially this one. I never knew it either ❤❤
No love today 😢😢😢

I've been wanting years for you to do this one!!!
You Had me at Dusty Springfield today. Glad you enjoyed that smoky voice of hers.
My mom's name was Maureen Elizabeth O'Ryan Gawne Ybarra. I usually called her "Mom".

Jay, the percussion instrument that you mentioned is called a cabasa. Thanks so much for reacting to my favorite song of hers!
I first heard this song about 20 years ago in a movie called Catch Me If You Can. The first thing I did was add it to my jukebox. It's a great song.
One of my favorites. It predates me as well but a true!!!! Classic... Timelrss..

Love her voice so much
Youre batting 1000 today my friend!!! All 3 top notch female vocalists!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Many people now in their 50s were probably conceived to this song back in the day. Probably the best thing about the 1967 version of Casino Royale
