Oh my my who else is listening to dusty today like me in 2024 I grew up in the 60s to the best music and the best meaningful lyrics proper music from the heart R.I.P dusty taken too soon 🇬🇧💔💔💔💔💔💔
Since you are a fan of Dusty - check out her other classic - You Don't Have To Say That You Love Me - right at the very beginning after she takes a bow - turn up the volume - Dusty says " WOW " because the audience was cheering so much before she even got started. I never heard a singer do that. That shows the class that she had - a beautiful soul indeed who definitely is in heaven for sure ! Chester (USA-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
I just sent a message replying to your comment but i made the mistake to say check out her other classic - IT IS THIS SONG RIGHT HERE. Sorry for the confusion. Chester (USA-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
ALSO OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN. MY FAVORITE SONG IS : OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN IF YOU LOVE ME, LET ME KNOW. THE 2 BEST VERSIONS OF THIS SONG ARE THE RECORDED ONE AND THE ONE TAPED ON THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL IN 1974. CHESTER ( USA - PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA) @@user-rb3zh6sz1b
@@CB-xr1eg Andy Williams Show is where this performance took place. My mom never missed the show and since I was into music, I seldom missed any show such as that. October '65, remember as if it was yesterday because my dad died shortly after, a few days before Thanksgiving, I was 13.
What happened to music in this current age..The past had poetry and love and meaning.They had talent..Not screaming and fake musicians with electric tones changing their real voices..This is pure..No machines, just Disty.
I'm an early 50s (52) baby and I love this music. I have Sirius radio in the car and I flip between the 50s. 60s, and 70s all the time. Best music EVER!
I might have to duck here, but Dusty was the greatest female talent to come out of the UK in the sixties. I know the list is long and loaded with talent, but I will stand by my words. I have to give a big shout out to Cilla too. You were also amazing...Peace
@@stuartbrixton6260 Yes Stuart I believe that's true, but I had the feeling that sometimes she wasn't aware of the gesturing, but simply felt the songs were coming from her soul.
Absolutely, growing up in the 60’s was a great time for music. Dusty made you feel the song was for you. What a talent for us to share in the U.S. & abroad. She was a star among stars! Dusty will never be forgotten!♥️♥️♥️
This was a time when you needed real singing talent to even get anywhere near the charts, But this gifted singer managed it very often, and we all know why !
Great song. Yes, there was a lot of great music growing up in the 60's. The words of songs had a big impact describing how I've always felt about life, and helped me become the person I am today at 65.
Dusty Springfield received a professional designation on the day of her death from the Queen-OBE-(Officer of the Order of the British Empire); well-deserved.
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (originally a 1965 Italian song, '"Io che non vivo (senza te)", by Pino Donaggio and Vito Pallavicini) is a 1966 hit recorded by English singer Dusty Springfield that proved to be her most successful single, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart[2] and number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Elvis Presley recorded a cover version in 1970 which was a hit in both the US and the UK. Other covers have charted in the UK, Ireland, Italy and Finland. Original Italian version "Io che non vivo (senza te)" ("I, who can't live (without you)") was introduced at the 15th edition of the Sanremo Festival by Pino Donaggio - who had co-written the song with Vito Pallavicini - and his team partner Jody Miller. The song reached the final at Sanremo and, as recorded by Donaggio, reached No. 1 in Italy in March 1965. "Io che non vivo (senza te)" was prominently featured on the soundtrack of the Luchino Visconti film Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa (aka Sandra), starring Claudia Cardinale, which was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival that September. Dusty Springfield version Dusty Springfield, who participated at the 1965 Sanremo Festival, was in the audience when Donaggio and Miller performed "Io che non vivo (senza te)" and, although she did not know the meaning of the lyrics, the song moved Springfield to tears.[citation needed] She obtained an acetate recording of Donaggio's song, but allowed a year to go by before actively pursuing the idea of recording an English version. On 9 March 1966, Springfield had an instrumental track of Donaggio's composition recorded at Philips Studio Marble Arch. The session personnel included guitarist Big Jim Sullivan and drummer Bobby Graham. Springfield still lacked an English lyric to record, but Springfield's friend Vicki Wickham, the producer of Ready Steady Go!, wrote the required English lyric with her own friend Simon Napier-Bell, manager of the Yardbirds. Neither Wickham nor Napier-Bell had any discernible experience as songwriters. According to Napier-Bell, he and Wickham were dining out when she mentioned to him that Springfield hoped to get an English lyric for Donaggio's song, and the two light-heartedly took up the challenge of writing the lyric themselves: "We went back to [Wickham]'s flat and started working on it. We wanted to go to a trendy disco so we had about an hour to write it. We wrote the chorus and then we wrote the verse in a taxi to wherever we were going."[citation needed] Neither Wickham nor Napier-Bell understood the original Italian lyrics. According to Wickham they attempted to write their own lyric for an anti-love song to be called "I Don't Love You", but when that original idea proved unproductive, it was initially adjusted to "You Don't Love Me", then to "You Don't Have to Love Me", and finalised as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", a phrasing that fitted the song's melody. Napier-Bell later gave the same title to his first book, an autobiographical account of the British music scene of the 1960s. Springfield recorded her vocal the next day. Unhappy with the acoustics in the recording booth she eventually moved into a stairwell to record. She was only satisfied with her vocals after she had recorded 47 takes.[citation needed] Released on 25 March 1966 in the UK, the single release of Springfield's recording became a huge hit and remains one of the songs most identified with her. When she died from breast cancer in March 1999, the song was featured on Now 42 as a tribute. The song hit number one in the UK charts and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.[3] It proved so popular in the US that Springfield's 1965 album Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty was released there with a slightly different track listing, and was retitled with the same name as the hit single (the B side of the US single, "Little by Little", was issued in the UK as a separate A side and reached No.17 there). The song also topped the charts peaking at number one in The Philippines and peaked at number one in NME top thirty charts, it stayed in the number 1 position for two weeks from the week commencing 14 May 1966 to the week ending 28 May 1966. It also hit number one in Melody Maker magazine in May 1966.
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music... times when everything was much more relaxed. Big contrast to today's society...! Dusty Springfield... pure youth sentiment...! R.I.P. sweetie...!
its funny how songs define an age, a time in life, a personal snapshot of memories, and this song, and dusty are there in my memories of the 60s when everything seemed new and everything seemed possible
The perfection of her performance in this clip gives me the chills. No one else could have equaled it. There was only one singer who truly reached the pinnacle of pop artistry: DUSTY!
Born in 1950, I grew up in the best decades of music ever! 50,60,70 and a decent portion of the 80's. Where the talent lead the technology, not the other way around.
Yes, I agree and I will be glad to trade places with you now. I have had to live this song even though I tried to get married once so I wouldn't have to live this song.
Beauty, grace, class and a lovely voice. I could listen to her sing all day long and not get tired of her. So glad she gave us all these wonderful songs.
I was born in 1952. This song and other similar ones of that era have touched upon and enriched my life deeply in both my body and my soul until now in 2024. Yes, I will understand now the true meaning of love as sung by Dusty Springfield here and forever!
I too grew up in the 60's when this wonderful singer was on the telly, Where has the time gone ! I was a young boy of 9 when the house went quiet, because this lady was about to sing, we were a big family, but we obeyed the order, Life is such a fleeting episode ! We need to appreciate what we have, but many of us seldom do,
Best female blue eyed soul singer of all time!!! Her love for soul music helped brake down barriers in the 60s, the love of music is a powerful emotion, it brings people together. And for that,Dusty done her part!!..its sad how she so underestimated herself, when what she achieved in the glory days of the 60s will live on forever in the hearts of us who love her music and sensational Voice!!
Wow,what a singer and performer,I was born in 1965,but my parents brought me up with this style of music,singers these days couldn't even come close to this talent,thankyou for you're music dusty, you're music will always live on , you've just brought back some great memories to me when my mum and dad use to come home from the pub on a Saturday night and the radiogram would go on and they would sing this to each other RIP sweet lady,❤️🙏
I just love all her songs.......she was so in tune with my emotions back in the days when I was just enjoying life and my freedom.....the 60s and 70s were the best years of my life.....
I have to agree with you Adam the 60s and 70s were the best times of our life's. Dusty Springfield definitely knew how to put her emotions into her music. She was great! The music was great, crime was fairly low, our parents weren't afraid to let us be latchkey kids. I got my first job as an A&W carhop back in 1974 and I loved it for the next 4 years. You weren't afraid to go to a party and get killed. I miss those days so much.
The great thing is that because of videos like this, they don't have to miss a thing. Now.....as to if they appreciate the music is another topic all together.
Time waits for no one; thank you Dusty. Style and Grace are a thing of the past. Hopefully one day we will wake up, won't be in my lifetime. RIP Dusty and thank you!
She was so sweet and beautiful here. This is one of my favorite performances by Dusty. This brings tears to my eyes. Such sadness I feel when I hear her sing this. Wishing things were still like this now including seeing Dusty
One of the best live performances ever. When its better than the recording release, you know you are the best. Powerful, powerful voice, once in a lifetime will you hear this kind of range.
I really love this performance, she had such power and emotion. There have been many covers of this song but no one has ever done it justice. It will remain Dusty's finest forever.
