Free Music Notes for A Girl Called Dusty
Free Music Review: The happiest Dusty on the record
Hit: 4 Stars
Debut album by famous UK pop icon who just broke free from her cheerful home-spun trio "The Springfields" and decided to continue on her own.
No surprise,as she was the most interesting voice in trio anyway and clearly prefered Motown sound more than multi-lingual ditties her brother wanted them to record - not so long ago,they were singing "Svahili Papa" and such but when Springfield visited USA and heard The Exciters single "Tell him" blasting on the street from some record shop,it was like revelation,THIS is what she wanted to do.
On her first solo album she didn't exactly go wild - she was proper british girl,after all - but cleverly turned to US originals and sang them with her own twist and it shows that she always recognized good songs from the start - Shireless,Supremes,Marving Gaye and even Ray Charles are here together with some strong material already recorded by Gene Pitney and Dionne Warwick.
In her own way,Springfield was introducing US artists to UK audience and if some find musicianship a little too clumsy or stately,just imagine how frustrated Springfield herself must have felt because she had clear vision what she wanted,but british studio musicians didn't get it. Had she been a guy nobody would find it unusual,but being a strong-willed girl she got reputation as difficult in the studio and it would take almost a decade until she finds right sound in Memphis,but until that point she would prefect her whispery sound and sound like different singer completely.
When compared to other british girl singers of the time,she was clearly far more interesting and if you don't believe,just check the others (Billie Davis,Cilla Black,Lulu,Sandie Shaw,Julie Grant,Helen Shapiro) to hear why Springfield was so highly regarded.Closest singer to that particular sound was not her favourite Baby Washington (who had deep,booming voice and gospel background) but Dionne Warwick sophisticated and slightly detached voice and soon enough these two will became best singers of Burt Bacharach songs.
Here,in 1964. she was still at the beginning and probably the happiest Dusty Springfield on the record.
Very good but the best is yet to come.
