I musta been the only Black 12 yr old in my school - in 1966 - who loved this womans' voice....had nearly every 45 she released....and would come in from playing, if she was on TV ! These clips bring back real nice memories.......
@@QueenFan12 It was worse in the 1930s when my parents were growing up. By the time I was a kid in the 60s, it was certainly still around, but also very much on the defensive and in retreat, besides being now a target of the law. In the 30s, it was taken for granted. By the 70s, you had to work at racism, because the way people once mindlessly accepted it was no longer operative.
@@QueenFan12and Dusty struck her own blow against racism as you may know. I mean, apart from her love for and support of black musicians. When she toured in South Africa,she refused to play before segregated audiences, and in fact had insisted on this in her contract. When the promoters reneged on the contract, and expected her to still sing, she continued to refuse,and ended up in a scary situation which ended in her deportation in the middle of false accusations from the South African authorities. Some people in show business supported her,others, notably the comedy actor Derek Nimmo, did not. It apparently led to antipathy between the two for the rest of Dusty's life. No prizes for guessing that I take Dusty's part wholeheartedly,the world needs her far more than a twittery fool with an upper class accent.
The great Dusty singing live as she nearly always did, the backing singer on the left is the great Madeline Bell who sang with a lot of famous singers and in the 70s group Blue Mink who had a few hits met her on a P&O cruise about 6 years ago lovely lady she said Dusty was the best singer she sang with.
Good God !!! ...... Dusty tears through "SHAKE" like a chainsaw on a mission ! She does Sam Cooke serious proud ! This is one of the finest concert clips of young Dusty , she looks fantastic and is in fierce form ! Gone too soon ! 👍👍👍👍👍⭐❤️
I've watched this so many times. Top volume (😊) It's so well filmed, it's just like sitting on the stage. Thank the lords it was filmed for us to love decades later. Just a blast. Thank you 💘💘💘💘👏👏
to the uploader: eternal thanks and praises. by far the best quality version of this show you can find on YT. it's when you see stuff like this that you really start to wonder why she was crippled with such shyness and insecurity... she had stardom written all over her. her voice and style cannot be beaten by any female singer living or dead. we should have taken more care of her. there will NEVER be another!
I don't think underrate but a bit forgotten At least in my country...many adults don't remember her and many young people know neither her name( At least in italy)...that 's mass media 's fault
She was amazing she had soul and at the same time she could be cool and classy when she sang songs like Windmills of your Mind and of course the Look of love and I just love watching her perform I love her energy and those cute dance moves I AM A DUSTY SPRINGFIELD FANATIC!!! Check out DUSTY doing Marvin Gayes Can I get a Witness on you tube it's outrageous it's like she caught the Holy Ghost once again she tore the stage up and sent me over the edge SING IT GIRL YEAH SING IT!!!!!!
@@johnfulton4061I am in total agreement. She was fantastic and beyond incredible. So versatile, could sing anything and do it better than anyone. I'm a total Dusty fan, she's the greatest of all time. Plus she was so humble, kind, witty, sweet, and her love of cats is so endearing.
This is so well done, I almost feel I am there. The electricity, the band, the background singers, the audience and Dusty--what a production. High energy-- and never to be seen again. Thank you.
@@YTSkeptic The drummer for the Echoes, Dusty's touring band, was Johnny Dryden at this point in time. The band had numerous lineup changes, with even Ringo filling in one night during his Rory Storm days. This history reveals some interesting insight. Also worth noting that Doris Troy also did occasional vocals for Dusty. Troy penned and had the original hit with 'Stay', and early chart topper for the Hollies and many years later also for Jackson Browne. She was also signed to the Beatles Apple label, and her album was produced by George Harrison, who invited a young Peter Frampton to play lead guitar on it...with Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Ringo, and members of Delaney & Bonnie's band. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Echoes_(English_group)
... and THAT is what microphone technique is all about. Shake ! My favourite Sam Cooke song ....dynamite version by Dusty. Doug Reece, seen playing bass ? on stage with Dusty recalls his memories of working with her during this Australian television interview a few years back.....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oG0W8rjNdhQ.html. Doug became a well known identity in the music industry over here. Had the pleasure of working with him at Channel 9 in Melbourne. A really delightful guy. We knew little about all that he had done on the London pop scene as he was always a low key character who never big noted himself. But fascinating now to see him on these old British TV shows.
Dusty seemed to always have so much energy, that look she gives the girls on “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” reminding them to get it right. She was brilliant with her perfect timing. Great Video!
The brilliant Mary O'Brien (stage name Dusty Springfield). Apparently the rest of the concert wasn't broadcast because of some industrial dispute. What a great shame, although if Dusty's segment is available possibly the rest of the show is stored away somewhere.
Thanks so much for this. I had seen this before, but not as fantastic... with the song Shake. The sound quality is so good as well!! THANK YOU SO MUCH XX
All Style, Class, and Sophistication is The Late And Great Ms Dusty Springfield. What A Great Entertainer. I Am Pleased And Privileged To Have Grown Up With Her Music And Those Of Her Contemporaries. The Music Industry Has Truly Lost A Beautiful And Beloved Soul. Dusty May Be Resting In Eternal Sleep, But Her Great Legendary Legacy Will Live On And We The Living MUST Make Sure Of That R.I.P Dusty, Wishing You Were Here 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶
I agree that we the living must make sure of that - I go to Dusty Day every year and Dusty is my favourite singer; if anyone asks I like to tell people as much as possible about her to spread the word. Someone commented on my Dusty Springfield handbag on the tube recently and it opened up a lovely conversation :)
The 1965 and 1966 NME Poll Concerts with Dusty's section are on RU-vid here but the 1967 that I went to, sadly not. If anyone has it to up load, please let me know.
That glance towards Madeline, Kiki and Leslie reminds me of the Motown comes to England show where she nods her head briefly towards the light-operator to shine it on Martha Reeves. Dusty was in total control. Madeline's got that funny look as she's consoling (looks like) Leslie, like "we f'd up, OK, just sing!!!
@@jesincere8589 To my ears (and eyes) they all come in exactly where they should. But Madeline certainly does draw Lesley closer to the mic and looks at her suggesting something happened. Perhaps Lesley did come in slightly early and Dusty heard it but the recording doesn't pick it up. All very much live and fascinating.
@@Wotsitorlabart Any session with Dusty demanded perfection, she (as you indicate) was fascinating.All 3 background singers were excellent and stars within their own right.
This is "Soul Revue" territory. Brass, Coloured Girls (both colours) BVs, a great Rhythm Section (yeah, that guy on some hand drums, too big to be called Bongos, maybe Congas?) An all-round great production of a lady I used to think was a Folk and Pop performer who later went a bit Country in Memphis.
Dusty loved Motown, she even brought it to the UK for a tv special and tour. Coloured bv girls are singers in their own right, Lesley Duncan, Kiki Dee and Madeline Bell ;)
@Selvikus That was Gary Boyle who replace Vic Briggs in late 1965 when he left to join The Steampacket with Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll and the Brian Auger Trinity.
Not a backing track in sight and no pitch correction electronics, actual musicians and singers, if you use pitch correction watch and learn. If you need pitch correction you are in the wrong business
Those numbers from black artists, tell the truth I'm not a fan of Motown etc. But she was one white singer who was respected by black singers, I mean even Dionne Warwick would give her the time of day sometimes. That's good going.
