IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HITDusty Springfield was an Irish girl who wanted to be black. (She also had a taste for the ladies, but that’s a whole other story.) She eventually got her wish when she signed with Ahmet Ertegun’s Atlantic Records in 1968 and worked with Jerry Wexler, who was Aretha Franklin’s producer. This recording from 1965 is from her Eurorock days, but it gives her a chance to sound like Martha Reeves. It didn’t score, but it’s a hint of what was to come.

Oh boy, thanks Publius, this is great stuff.
It's fun hearing the background of these hits I grew-up with.
