5.0 out of 5 stars Dusty Springfield's first U.S. album is fab!, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stay Awhile/I Only Want To Be With You (Audio CD)

This is a reissue of Dusty's fab first U.S. album from 1964. This album has her hits "I Only Want to Be with You", "Stay Awhile" and "Wishin' and Hopin", but also has two more classics: Dusty's versions of "24 Hours from Tulsa" and "Anyone Who Had a Heart"-this last song here is as powerful as any she sang. Listen and see why.Dusty rules! A great voice and a great album!

I bought this album for my little girl when she was 8 and again when she was 40. She enjoyed it both times and now my grandkids are singing and humming Dusty Springfield music. Every track is excellent and will evoke memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great 60's pop star Dusty proved to be., May 2, 1999

Dusty Springfield is often thought of at her best in the soulful ballad genre and whilst I do not disagree with that point it is often forgotten what a great sixties pop star she was in the fast beat style. This album is a great reminder of her early days. As well as her famous early hits there is the classic recording of 24 Hours from Tulsa where she really sings not just the words but the emotion as well and is a real treasure. The other great track is Anyone Who Had a Heart where this song really comes to life compared to the version by Cilla Black which made number 1 in the UK. For anyone who wants to understand why Dusty was such a great star should listen to these tracks. Even the most banal numbers are sung with conviction and the unique Dusty sound is ever present.
