Okay. I got this. Dusty Springfield, one of my favorites soul singers!
Band before she went solo: The Springfields.
Hits with the Springfields: Island of Dreams, Come On Home
Solo hits: Son Of A Preacher Man, The Look Of Love
Hey Libbie Jo! She’s my favorite Soul Singer as well! And “The look of Love is my favorite “Dusty” record! I heard a great story on how “The Look Of Love came to be: Burt Bacharach and his partner Hal David were watching a screening of an early cut of “Casino Royale” when a smokin hot image of actress Ursula Andres fills the screen and nearly sets it aflame!
Bacharach turns to his collaborator and says “Look at that! what is that? When Hal David turns to his partner and quietly reply’s, THAT…Is “The Look of Love”
Indeed!…Jeeze I love that record! And Ursula Andres? She’s not so bad either!
Thank you, Libbie Jo!
