DUSTY SPRINGFIELD/GOLDEN HITS BL 7737 (-66) UK MONO

She's been gone for thirteen years now, but that misty almost mystic voice is still heard a lot in my room. Her version of "Son Of A Preacher Man" is the most perfect soul vocal ever from a white artist - so sexy but still so vulnerable you just wanna hear it again and again. That however was her last really big success. She didn't sell well in the seventies and eighties and had to work as background singer for artists as Elton John and Anne Murray. She picked up in the nineties with a couple of more hits, but lost to breast cancer 1999. This is a perfect guide to early Dusty, including her best songs from 1963-66. All are original '45 mixes and sounds great. The US issues differed a lot from UK, but Philips LP "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" (PHM 200-210) has a few titles in common. First UK with structured label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (FÄV*) (TÖZ*)
