Free Music Notes for Dusty in MemphisFree Music Review: Don't Forget About Dusty!
This record, one of only two albums Dusty Springfield made for Atlantic Records (that were released at the time), has made it into many TOP 100 Albums of All Time lists around the world, and it deserves the honor. For one thing, Dusty Springfield is simply one of the greatest pop singers who ever lived. It is a crying shame that, save for "Son Of A Preacher Man," from this album, songs like "Wishin' And Hopin'" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" are all most of the general public seems to remember of the former Mary O'Brien. "The Look Of Love" may also be recalled, and maybe "I Only Want To Be With You," but other than those few recordings, most of Springfield's catalog is relatively obscure. "A Brand New Me," the title song from Springfield's second Atlantic release was used once or twice for television commercials, and "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" made it into a movie soundtrack ("Buster"). And yet, since her untimely death from breast cancer in 1999, many compilations have been released, and several of them are already hard to find. I've lost count of the number of books on pop and rock that fail to do more than mention Dusty Springfield in passing, if she is in their indexes at all. Why is this? I subscribe to the theory (and it's most clearly illustrated by the eclectic song choices on DUSTY IN MEMPHIS), that Dusty was not strictly a pop singer, nor was she really a soul singer -- and I don't mean she was not black -- and she was ignored by most rock fans, even though she could rock with the best of them. To the great credit of the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame, Dusty has been inducted, yet her fan base (in America, in particular) remains a relatively small number, as far as I can tell. Could it be that Dusty eluded categorization, and therefore was a confusing singer for the various labels who recorded her to market? I believe this is the answer (and I know that I'm not alone in this observation).
