"…this album, her debut for Atlantic Records, gave her career permanent relevance …the higher groove velocity has made possible the extended high frequencies and lower noise that make this edition A Marvel of Sound." - Robert Baird, Stereophile Magazine, February 2012, pg. 129
Originally released in 1969, the concept for Dusty In Memphis was to take England's reigning female soul queen to the home of the music which had inspired her. Produced by Atlantic's Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin and engineered by Tom Dowd, the record's highlights include "Son Of A Preacher Man," "So Much Love," "Breakfast In Bed," "Just One Smile," "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" and "Just A Little Lovin'". Springfield is backed by a crack band that had previously worked with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, King Curtis and Elvis Presley among others. The musicians - collectively known as the Memphis Cats - include guitarist Reggie Young, bassist Tommy Cogbill, drummer Gene Chrismann, pianist Bobby Wood and Bobby Emmons on organ and electric piano. Songwriting contributions came from, among others, Randy Newman, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Dusty Springfield is one of the finest white soul singers of her era, and this is the undisputed proof.
"Born in London, Springfield was a great soul singer hidden inside a white British pop queen — racking up Motown-style hits such as "I Only Want to Be With You" — when Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler brought her way down South, to Memphis, to make this album. She was so intimidated by the idea of recording with session guys from her favorite Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding hits that she never sang a note there. Her vocals were overdubbed in New York. But the result was blazing soul and sexual honesty ("Breakfast in Bed," "Son of a Preacher Man") that transcended both race and geography." - rollingstone
"Dusty In Memphis" was picked as the #9 coolest record of all time in the April 11, 2002 issue of Rolling Stone and chosen by Mojo magazine as one of the best 100 albums ever released... a recognized classic around the world! Simply put, "Dusty in Memphis" is one of the greatest blue eyed soul albums of all time! A certified classic and must have for any collection!
"...controlled passion, directly communicative, and finally released from the bounds mediocre mastering. A classic re-invented. Very highly recommended for the music, for the mastering and for the superbly detailed pressing quality too from Quality Record Pressing." - Michael Fremer, analogplanet, Music 9/11, Sound 9/11!
"Springfield was white and English but sang as if born with black American soul. In 1968, newly signed to Atlantic and under the tutelage of its star producer Wexler, she went to the mecca of Dixie R&B to record the gospel-tinged Dusty in Memphis. She ended up doing her vocals in New York, but no matter: Her deep, heated voice captured the carnal fire of the South." - Rolling Stone

Dusty Springfield, born Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette
O'Brien, was an English pop singer and record producer whose career extended
from the late 1950s to the 1990s. She was given the nickname "Dusty"
for playing football with boys as a youngster and was described as a tomboy.
With her distinctive mezzo-soprano sound she was an important singer of
blue-eyed soul, and at her peak was one of the most successful British female
performers, with 6 Top 20 singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 16 on the UK
Singles Chart from 1963 to 1989. She is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame
and UK Music Hall of Fame. As a fan of US soul music, she brought many
little-known soul singers to the attention of a wider UK record-buying audience
by hosting the first national TV performance of many top-selling Motown artists
beginning in 1965. Although she was never considered a Northern Soul artist in
her own right, her efforts contributed a great deal to the formation of the
genre. She was the first UK singer to top the New Musical Express readers' poll
for Female Singer.
To boost her credibility as a soul artist, she went to
Memphis to record Dusty In Memphis, an album of pop and soul music, with the
Atlantic Records production team. Released in 1969, it has been ranked among
the greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone, NME readers, and in polls by
VH1 artists. The album was also awarded a spot in the Grammy® Hall Of Fame.
Despite its recognition, the album did not sell well upon release. After the
album was released, Dusty relocated to America where she experienced a career
slump for several years. However, in collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys, she
returned to the Top 10 of the UK and US charts in 1987 with "What Have I
Done To Deserve This?" Two Years later she had two other UK hits on her
own with "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private." In the
mid-1990s, owing to the inclusion of "Son Of A Preacher Man" on the
Pulp Fiction soundtrack, interest in her early output was revived. As a
Cornerstone title, ROG is reissuing this classic and expanding it to include a
second LP of bonus tracks making their debut on vinyl.
