Description

The previous volumes in our “Heard Them Here First” series focused on Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, the Ramones and the New York Dolls. This edition features the original versions of numbers recorded by Dusty Springfield, the UK's premier female vocalist of the 1960s.

Dusty's expertise as an interpretive singer prevented her from being viewed as a cover artist and allowed her the luxury of recording the songs of her favourite American performers and writers.

The selection spans Marie Knight's ‘Nothing In The World', a super song Dusty recorded on her first LP, through to K.T. Oslin's ‘Where Is A Woman To Go’, a highlight of Dusty's swansong album. The Marie Knight track makes its CD debut here, along with ‘Love Me By Name’ by Lesley Gore, ‘Packin’ Up' by Margie Hendrix and Carla Thomas' ‘Every Ounce Of Strength’.

Reflecting Dusty's impeccable taste in music, our CD also includes songs by her preferred songwriting teams – Goffin & King and Bacharach & David – and several great examples from the Motown catalogue.
