I'm 104 and have been dead for 15 years, but I still like this fine music.

[joes]

I swear this is one of the smoothest songs I've ever heard. The slow build up, and the backup vocals are perfect.

[theaterdreamer]

Two and a half minutes of pure bliss.

What a woman. What a voice.

[humboldtus]

I love the way her voice keeps building up into more ecstasy with each verse. One of the sexiest songs any woman has ever recorded.

[danialgillis]

I'm 59 and the sound of her voice still puts lead in the pencil.

Who's listening in 2024, I can't be the only one listening to this vinyl hit.

[bobswabski]

Nobody could ever do this song like Dusty.

I’ve always appreciated the way Tarantino uses music in his movies kinda like Scorsese... they both know how to set the mood

[monaquick]

This is what I sing to my husband. I've been married to this son of a preacher man for 48 years💞

[DuckboyJiden]

The bass playing is one of the most underrated ever. It's just great.

[oscarmedina]

Dusty's slightly breathy voice brings perfection to her performance.

[ChristopherDavis-uhgq]

Dusty sings this like she grew up in the South singing blues and gospel. Amazing for an English woman.

[Maaaaaascowzoomer]

This song is literally the synonym of the word “smooth”

[pennyking]

Simply one of the best songs ever recorded

[tommcconville]

Dusty Springfield was an all time great, no one could lay down a soul joint vocal like her, with the exception of the legendary Aretha Franklin, of course. The two best vocalists of that '60's and '70's era, and Dusty's great songs and performances are still brilliant to this day.

[peterwilliams]

I was 13 years old when I first heard this song on Top Of The Pops - Dusty In Memphis was a commercial failure at the time [ 1969 ] but now it's regarded as one of the finest albums ever recorded, not difficult to see why - Dusty would be headlining nowadays filling stadiums and festivals worldwide - you never know what you've got until it's gone . Without Dusty there'd have been no Adele, no Amy Winehouse, no Paloma Faith .
What a voice that lady had .

[SmileyBoi]

I can just hear her smile every time she sings the lyrics it just goes to show how much soul she puts into her art.

[FuriousMess]

Dusty's smoky vocal and Reggie Young's stellar guitar parts. Perfection!

[VikkiThorson]

1960s the BEST music Ever..Dusty one of the BEST
