Son of a Preacher Man (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

For tonight’s Daily Dose, I thought it was about time I featured Dusty Springfield here.  Most people I know would recognize some of the songs she recorded, but only a few would recognize the singer – and it’s too bad because Dusty Springfield was a really fantastic singer.

Here’s Son of a Preacher Man live…

She was born in 1939 and lived until 1999. During her performing career Ms. Springfield became known for tunes like I only Want to Be with You, Wishin’ and Hopin’, I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself, and of course Son of a Preacher Man.

Here’s I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself, a great tune written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me…

Let’s go out with Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa. This is another tune by the amazing songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, this one written for Gene Pitney.
