The Very Best of Dusty Springfield
Date undefinedIf this is the Very Best of Dusty then what it tells me that she had a couple of good songs which are on this CD. The rest sound like rehashing of the hot sellers. Dusty is a Great singer and I'm glad to reminisce about those days past. But the rest of the songs I surely don't remember on the hit parader back then.
The Very Best of Dusty Springfield
Date undefinedIf you like Dusty Springfield, this is the cd to cover it all !!! Great CD !!
The Very Best of Dusty Springfield
Date undefinedI can honestly attest to the title of this review because this album was my introduction to British vocalist Dusty Springfield's impressive body of work. This was generated during her 1960s and 1970s heyday, as a reigning queen of "Blue Eyed Soul" (blues/soul music interpretated by Caucasian musicians) in the United States and the United Kingdom. For starters, Springfield's voice is incomparable. She has an impeccably expressive, smoky tone and beautiful range that adds life and color to every song she sings here. They include some of her biggest tunes like "I Only Want To Be With You," "The Son of a Preacher Man," and "Wishin' and Hopin'." It also features her cover of "The Look of Love" and lesser known tunes that are just amazing.
Many singers have idolized and attempted to emulate the late, great Dusty Springfield. No one can replicate her distinctive brand of soul/pop/blues interpretations. Yet, her songs and magnificent instrument (her voice) have inspired many to express themselves through the medium of music, and it isn't hard to see why. The spirit definitely moved this extraordinary woman and we all are lucky that her memory lives on in her beautiful songs.
