Son of a Preacher Man DUSTY SPRINGFIELD (with lyrics)

Another big hit for Dusty Springfield - this one peaking at #9 in the UK charts back in 1968. Songwriters John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins (who had recently had a hit with "Love of the Common People") wrote the song with Aretha Franklin in mind, according to a 2009 interview with Wilkins. Atlantic Records producer and co-owner Jerry Wexler, who was recording Dusty Springfield's first Atlantic album in Memphis at the time, liked the song and suggested it to Springfield for the Dusty in Memphis album. The writers of Rolling Stone magazine placed Dusty Springfield's recording at #77 among "The 100 Best Singles of the Last 25 Years" in 1987. The record was placed at #43 among the "Greatest Singles of All Time", by the writers of New Musical Express in 2002, and in 2004, the song was on the Rolling Stone list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

I've always been a fan of Dusty, I remember that the song was in the Bavarian charts, but unfortunately it didn't reach any top spots. Many thanks Victor, have always a good time! Cheers, E.H.

Haven't heard this in ages. Dusty was so good. Nice to have been around when the 60's songs were playing.

I remember this song from a scene in a film by a certain Quentin Tarantino.
