Dusty springfield how can i be sure youtube

The influence of Ketty Lester's 'Love Letters' is all over the arrangement of 'I Walked Right In With My Eyes Wide Open which features the kind of poised and assured vocal performance that apparently so impressed the local musicians and backing singers during the making of the album.

In her autobiography she wrote that all the musicians had to go on initially for all the songs was a basic chord chart and that the arrangements were worked out then and there in the studio and then committed to tape from memory, which she gathered was the standard way of doing things in Nashville in those days.

By moving the show to a 6am start and changing the format so it's now practically nothing but over-familiar hits presented by someone speaking inane gibberish proves that the new BBC Radio 2 boss had no real understanding of what made SOTS so successful for so long and so beloved by millions.

The chances now of hearing rare Bacharach gems like this track just a tantalising snippet are virtually nil. I remember back in the 60s the press having a field-day when it emerged that she'd been thrown-out of her girls' school choir because her voice was considered too deep and stood out too much amongst all the shrill high sopranos.

It was also the B-Side of a single with the album title track as the A-Side. Incidentally, both the LP and the single turn-up on e-bay on a regular basis and that's where I got my copies many years ago.

Re: Re Sounds Of The 60s Post by pljms » Mon Apr 03, pm Martin, this thread has actually encouraged me to dig out all my old Helen Shapiro recordings and while the early hit compilations still sound terrific it's the later jazzier stuff which I find myself appreciating more.

Sadly, she no longer gigs but I managed to see her in the late 90s singing with the Humphrey Lyttleton Band at the Club in Oxford Street and what impressed me most, apart from her still powerful and unique voice, was her obvious affinity with the jazz and blues repertoire, not to mention her undoubted charisma. Brian Matthew, the now sadly former presenter of Sounds of the 60s, is known to be a personal friend as well as a fan of Helen's and I remember him playing this track on the show but the first time I would of heard it was when David Frost chose it as one of his Desert Island Discs.

Dusty in Memphis was not a hit. Sales-wise, it barely cracked the Billboard Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien was a London tomboy from an emotionally stormy home who earned her nickname playing football with boys in the street. With the help of her brother, she reinvented herself as a teen into a beehived, dark-eyed icon of the "Swinging Sixties. It was a transitional time in music and culture, and while Springfield was a genuine star, her young blue-eyed soul leaned old-fashioned during the rise of Van Morrison and Steve Winwood.

They were the ones who broke her soul music idol, Aretha Franklin. Off they went to Memphis. Atlantic's house band of studio musicians, led by guitarist Reggie Young and bassist Tommy Cogbill Elvis Presley, Wilson Pickett , made for an intimidating setting. It brought out the perfectionist in Springfield.
