5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dusty, January 18, 2001

By

Looking for something else from Dusty's catalogue, I came across "Blue for You". This album is a real gem. If you don't have any Dusty music in your collection, your library is already sadly lacking - but this 14 track album will more than put things right.

Highlights of the album include the Goffin/King ballads "Going Back" and "Some of Your Lovin'". Dusty changes gear to give a breath of fresh air to the Shirelles classic "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", complementing the original with breadth and drive.

The surprise track on this collection is "What Do You Do When Your Love Dies", with superb changes of key, a busy tale, great combination of brass and strings - chunky cello support, and Dusty sparkling throughout. This track is an icon of Dusty music. A classic that got away?

From the remaining ten tracks, there's not one "ordinary" song, with a wealth of variety - from the self questioning "How Can I Be Sure" to Dusty's soulful versions of "My Colouring Book" and "If You Go Away". Add to that Dusty's mega hit of the Bacharach/David composition - "I Just Don't Know What to do with Myself" and Tom Springfield's unusual "Morning Please Don't Come" - there's a lot of good listening in this album.

Don't miss this one. Leave it on auto play for a night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Morning Please Don't Come!, May 31, 2007

This review is from: Blue for You (Audio CD)

I'm a huge Dusty Springfield fan and this collection was quite a bargain. Her classic songs are here but also some others like Morning Please Don't Come, My Colouring Book, and Yesterday WHen I was Young. I love Dusty's voice and the range is here. It's a great compact disc and I was lucky to get it an affordable price at a supermarket of all places. I can listen to Dusty all the time and never get tired of that voice or that face. I do miss her now more than ever and I don't think we really appreciated it until she was taken from us at such an early age of only 59 years old just short of her 60th birthday.

It's sad to listen to Dusty because even though she recorded many albums, she never got the recognition she deserved. She is an icon with a capitol I.
This is one of her best collections and to my ears the eleventh song from her Dusty In Memphis album, "What Do You Do When Love Dies" is truly a masterpeice of young, unrequieted, teen girl love and longing, one song truly up there with the Chantels "Maybe",and the Chiffon's "One Fine Day".
Here in the United Kingdom we appreciate our gift from God, Dusty Springfield. She's up there with Judy Garland, Aretha, and Edith Piaf. The pathetic female singers today (and I am 24 years old) sound like cats meowing....they are lifeless cutouts. Dusty made it all happen.
