Recommended Posts

Looking at Dusty Springfield's website there are so many CD's available, she had a wonderful voice and must have sung a few soulful tunes in her time during the 60's, although she sang lots of cover versions are there any tunes which are considered "Northern Soul" and can anyone recommend one or more of her albums? :thumbsup:

'Live It Up' is a great 45, has had a few plays out and about. All her early (solo) albums are worth picking up, they all contain some superb original and cover versions.

They are very collectable but can be picked up reasonably cheap, also look out for her EPs.

They used to play quite a bit of her stuff in the early 70s. I think she is one of the best.

See rachel's reply for some of her more Northernesque tracks.

Actually bought "What's it gonna be" about a month ago off ebay

AHHHHHHHHHH Dear dear dusty!!!!!

I cant call myself a fan of her's, as I know very very little, buy I went to a wedding just before xmas, and the DJ played

"Love Power", from the album "Dusty Definetly"

It had me rushing over to ask him who it was etc....

An absolutely stonking track, if ever I have heard one. :thumbsup:

Worth picking up original issue of "EV'RYTHING'S COMING UP DUSTY' too.

as well as Long After Tonight, Oh No! Not My Baby,That's How Heartaches Are Made and some other fine covers there's a tune that's a bit of a stomper called "If It Don't Work Out' - written by Rod Argent of all people (Is there a Zombies version?).

The Lp is a superb package that opens up as a 12" gatefold album with some great colour shots of Dusty singing.

"WHERE AM I GOING" is another winner. in fact here's the track listing:

Bring Him Back

Don't Let Me Lose This Dream

I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face

Take Me For A Little While

Chained To A Memory

Sunny

They Long To Be Close To You

Welcome Home

Come Back To Me

If You Go Away

Broken Blossoms

Where Am I Going

can you tell I'm a bit of a fan :thumbsup:

It's a cover of the Sandpebbles isn't it? Not bad as I remember, but I actually prefer her doing the more midtempo tunes like the stuff mentioned earlier.

Mind you she did do a rousing version of Gloria Jones "Heartbeat" for a BBC session that was pretty exciting. :thumbsup:

YOUR HURTIN' KIND OF LOVE!!!!!!!!!!--Killer track don't remember which LP, though.

Seconded---Where Am I Going is the best LP for northern soul appeal.

No matter what you do, whatever you pick up will be worth it.

Incidentally, back in the sixties the century's most gifted songwriter flew from the States to spend six weeks working with Dusty - and at a time when he was hotter than than fire.

If Dusty gets approval in that measure from Burt Bacharach, then I think it's case proven; Mary O'Brien (aka Dusty) the best British female singer ever.
