Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty
Philips, 1964
You'd think going from the pure soul of Solomon Burke to the blue-eyed soul of Dusty Springfield would produce a sort of audio whiplash, but the thing is, Dusty can hang. The songs are all over the place but Dusty is at her best when she's covering the Supremes and the Shirelles (though her version of Gene Pitney's "Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa" was my favorite here). Growing up on Oldies, I'd be shocked if I hadn't heard Dusty Springfield before, but I couldn't name a single song. Fixed!
