Awesome program. Dusty Springfield was one of my song heroines.
Well, yeah, Karla DeVito had some stuff in the 1980's, and we all love and adore her squeaky voice. But she was also toured with Meat Loaf in the 1980's, and was his duet partner in the video for "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." (Ellen Foley did the vocals on the record.) And boy, did that song sound Jim Steinman-ish.
You missed a golden opportunity to play Shelby Lynne's stirring version of "I Only want to be with you." I know the Bay City Rollers are all retro-chic and cheesy-cool and whatever, but give it a spin, Brian. She completely turns the song inside out and makes it into a haunting, somber mood piece.

Fantastic.
There is apparently controversy over whether "Breakfast in Bed" is a cover. Wikipedia says Baby Washington had the original in the same year that dusty included it on Dusty in Memphis. But Wikipedia are sometimes wrong! If not, there's an originalville for the future!!
I had no idea it was not a UB40 original!
Shelby Lynne also had another burt bacharach hit with 'Anyone who had a heart"

Although the Jann Arden version of "Son Of A Preacher Man" was ok (let's face it….she gets a lot of play on Coverville, it seems), for me there is no sultrier, sexier or soulful version than Joan Osborne's cover of the song from her Early Recordings cd. That, to me, just seems to sound the way I'd expect it to sound. I highly recommend it.
