The two greatest white soul singers of all time. Dusty and Tom. She is the greatest white female vocalist of all time and Tom Jones and Elvis are the two greatest white male vocalists of all time. They can sing anything and sound amazing, so versatile and emotive. So thankful to have seen Sir Tom with my mom in a small venue, close up and personal, we were maybe 5 feet from him at most.
I am still amazed at this mans voice, opens mouth out come this massive brilliant sound, and then there's Dusty , well, what the hell can you say! And I'll tell you what Tom even now way into the 2000's his voice still blows the walls apart!!!!
Not too many singers could stand "toe-to-toe" with Tom Jones in the '60s and hold their own, but Dusty matches him note for note and then some. Two all-time greats looking like they're having a blast singing together...what could be better? I only hope the BBC goes back to their archives and produces a new DVD with duets from the "Dusty" TV shows. In my opinion, they owe it to music history and fans everywhere. I'm sure they could make a nice profit too.
A Tom Jones / Dusty Springfield album would have been the R&B BOMB of the 60s. Both were the best soul singers to come out of the U.K. Terrific to see them together, here. Thanks for the post, RJ.
I am glad I listened through all of this - at 7:20 Dusty performs a ballad in madrigal style My Lagan Love - I had never heard it before and what a treat. I wish we had this style of music today.
Wow. Just came across this (May2018). Makes you realise just how brilliant & polished these two were. Not to mention the backing orchestra - the drumming's just awesome (given the fact that these were fresh arrangements of recent songs, not well rehearsed versions of old classics).
@@juancarlos9592that's right,one thing she wasn't was comfortable. Even in the middle of "Nowhere to Run," I bet she was veering between exhilaration and desperation.
The best of blue-eyed soul either side of the pond. So good. I think I sometimes short-change Mr Jones for his commercial successes; he has tremendous talents as well. It's hard to over-estimate how influential these two have been to popular music.
Deux valeurs sûres des années 60 . Un magnifique duo plein de talent . Hélas ..cette époque est déjà bien loin .....................Tout y es ! : les voix !!les mélodies !le rhythme .
How am I just NOW finding this? THANKS so much for uploading. Definitely in agreement with Will Ruha - an LP of these two together would have been indeed.... the proverbial BOMB....... but at least we have them together here......
Am I mistaken or is Dusty making Tom sweat? Not many people could divide stage presence 50/50 when on with T. Jones but I do believe she did, and kicked it over to 60/40, lol. She looked amazing (even in that silly floor length number) and moved inspite of the dress. She rocked the chasbar!! Aside- John C, you're right about the drumming. There were some amazing session musicians kicking around at that time in England...I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same drummer who absolutely slayed (and make, in my opinion) Petulia Clark's "Happy Heart", an amazing song (her version, that is....sorry Andy!).
Yes, and I think she was ahead of the times. Women could do more later, do different genre's, serious songs, etc. and got more respect in the business.
Wonderful powerful voice, Wonderful and classy woman..always dressed conservative. I place her in the top 10 women singers of all time...and in that group is the great Ella Fitzgerald.
What year was this? I've really gotten back into DUsty's work. I originally listening in high school, around 67/1969 so I've been a fan for a long time. What a voice, just incomparable. Gone too soon.
Lorraine Ashby I was only trying to make you jealous. So, you'd see me go off with another woman would you? Well, I'm keeping the car ! You have bloke my heart. x
Beautyfull...but how is Dusty last Song in this Video called.. and was' nt it used by Simple Minds.for one of their biggest Hits...? When the Belfast Child sings again ?
Pues qué aburrido eres! Fue genial! Muy real su diversión cuando se equivocaron. Personas de la vida real. Y no te esponjes que no pagaste boleto. Histérico!
I had a bit of a crush on Dusty Springfield when she wore the very heavy eye makeup until I heard that she was a lesbian. Sorry Dusty. You had a fantastic voice.
