Peu d'informations sur cette performance de Dusty Springfield glanée sur YouTube, probablement à la fin des années 60, début des années 70. Mais quelle classe, quelle élégance tant dans l'interprétation vocale que dans cette gestuelle so 60's pour ce classique de blue-eyed soul (le terme anglo-saxon utilisé pour désigner la musique soul enregistrée par des artistes blancs). Un classique qu' Aretha Franklin aura d'abord refusé d'enregistrer, avant d'entendre la version de l'anglaise et de se raviser. Trop tard, la chanson est déjà un hit pour Dusty (#10 aux USA et #9 en [...]
A great song penned by the dynamic duo of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, from whom we'll be hearing a lot more, I'm sure... Dusty Springfield, "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" (1964) - from Dusty: the Very Best of Dusty Springfield A really great song, and a great performance. Why aren't we listening to more Dusty Springfield ? But actually what prompted me to spin this as my "Song of the Day" was [...]
There were no female artists in my 2626 selection, so, to right that wrong: Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien and Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie had tremendous success in British light entertainment in the 60s. Dusty Springfield was a masterful interpreter of American pop written by the best - Goffin/King, Bacharach & David - and Lulu was the sprightly young pop poppet of the charts and the Eurovision Song Contest. Dusty's renditions of the classics gave her the leverage she needed to take a [...]

Ian will be joining us here at BIYL from the UK. He wrote a brief introduction for readers: Hello, My name's Ian. I have a love and fascination with music that started from a very early age due to my mum playing a lot of Beatles, T-Rex and Dusty Springfield. I love all sorts of music from The Stones to Jay Z. I have long since given up making a name for myself in the music business, mainly down to my lack of musical talent. But through BIYL I hope to share and [...]

"You don´t have to say you love me..." Breakfast In Bed was written in ´69 by Eddie Hinton and Donnie Fritts for soul singer Baby Washington, who managed to score a well-deserved hit with it. But the version to treasure is the hot and horny one immortalized by Dusty Springfield just a wee bit later on her masterpiece Dusty In Memphis . "Pull your shoes off, lie down, and I will lock the door..." Meanwhile in Jamaica, Lorna Bennett charted with a charming, but rather straightforward reggae take of [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. British singer Lesley Duncan , who worked with artists such as Elton John , Pink Floyd and Dusty Springfield , died Friday, March 12, NME reports. The 66-year-old passed had been battling cerebrovascular disease for five years. Born in Stockton-on-Tees in northeast England, Duncan's music career began in the '60s when she moved to London. Though her solo career never garnered her much stardom, she did sing on albums including Elton John's 'Madman Across the Water' and Pink Floyd's [...]
Sometimes the music of nowhere takes you somewhere.
Here's a new mix series called Treasure Maps where I basically take a look at old records and lost classics of various kinds. This first one is about white boy/girl R&B and funk, funky blues and soul, and some interlopers from other lands. The J. Geils Band - Fancy Footwork Soul Expedition - I'll Be Standing By Can - I Want More Flash and the Pan - [...]

Number 9, number 9, number 9... It´s Wild Weekend time again. Musical revolution. As an alternative to all them discjockey types polluting the airwaves out there, we´ve got the iPod on shuffle. Once more it spins an eclectic six pack of tunes for the music-hungry masses, so tune in. This just might be on your wavelength. Have been playing a lot of Kristofferson lately. So it´s only fitting that the ghost in the machine picked one of his classic songs to start off this edition. To Beat The Devil [...]
After a couple of Original specials — Beatles and Reworked Hits — we return to the usual random selection of five lesser known originals: the Bacharach/David song I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, the seriously great Super Duper Love (which became a hit for Joss Stone), Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain, rock & roll classic See You Later Alligator, and the story of the Coke jingle that first was another song and then a megaghit which most of us might have preferred to have been taught. * * [...]
Filed under: Twisted Tales With her beehive 'do and black eyeliner, her self-confidence, and her love of jazz and R&B, this London-born granddaughter of Jewish immigrants was a singing sensation before her peers were finished with school. Amy Winehouse ? Try Helen Shapiro, whose chart-topping UK singles made her a national headliner with an unknown supporting act called the Beatles . Raised in a low-income family in London's East End, Shapiro had a deep, resonant singing voice that made her a distictive performer from a young age. As [...]
In the previous instalments of Curious Germany we noted the tendency in the 1960s of artists re-recording their hits in European languages, particularly in German to cater for the mainland continent’s biggest market. Here are a few more German re-recordings, plus a Motown-goes-Schlager track, a most unexpected cover, pre-Schlager stardom Krautrock, a slightly strange Beatles cover, and another singing footballer. * * * The Beatles – Komm, gib’ mir Deine Hand.mp3 The Beatles – [...]
One of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the District belongs to Laura Burhenn. After carrying on as a solo artist for many years, followed by the brief life of Georgie James , she emerges with her latest project, The Mynabirds . Last summer, while working with songwriter/producer Richard Swift , who has put out a few notable records of his own on Secretly Canadian, they recorded the body of songs which would become What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood . A warm, lush record filled with [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Holy Hell In the 50 years since the Shirelles ' 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' was originally recorded, it's been covered by dozens of artists, including the Bee Gees and Joe Walsh to Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield . But the classic song was nearly spiked when it was introduced to the group back in 1960. "It sounded like an old twangy country and western song," Beverly Lee , one of the four teens who made [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Country/pop chanteuse Shelby Lynne is set to release her latest album, 'Tears, Lies and Alibis' on April 20. The project will be the first on the singer's own newly-founded label, Everso Records. Described as a sparse, intimate collection, the 10-song disc was entirely written and produced by the Grammy winner. It's the follow-up to her 2008 collection, 'Just a Little Lovin,' which paid tribute to soulful pop legend Dusty Springfield .
Ammetto di aver tirato un sospiro di sollievo quando ho letto questa news targata Reuters . La gallese Duffy (best seller nel 2008 e vincitrice di un Grammy Award con Rockferry ) è al lavoro in studio sul secondo album, si trova a New York con esperti professionisti e...avrebbe abbandonato l'idea di somigliare a Mariah e Christina . Alleluja! Mesi addietro vi raccontavo del rischio snaturamento , spiattellato ai tabloid da una fonte vicina all'artista che pare essersi rivelata (grazie a Dio) non [...]
