DVD Reviews of Dusty Springfield - Reflections
DVD Review: Great DVD of a magnificent talent
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered the unforgettable song 'Son of a Preacher Man' as a child, thirty-plus years ago, and was just riveted. This song is one of those recorded live on this excellent collection, and it apparently features, off-screen, the great musicians that backed her up on the immortal "Dusty in Memphis" album. The rendition is so good, the DVD is worth it for this bit of heavenly bliss alone. It is soulful, beautiful, and passionate. While the disc is brief, at only one hour, to see the legendary singer perform her songs is just fantastic. (And I'm not one to be impressed with 'legend' status; to me all musicians have to prove themselves every time, not rest on their laurels). At several points in the live recorded songs, her singing sends shivers down your spine. As for the lip-synched songs, about half the total, they are nevertheless enjoyable, at least for their musical merit as good songs, but also for a time-capsule style glimpse of the television shows she had, and the look of the period. Hosts B.J. Thomas and Petula Clark offer very insightful and interesting commentary on Dusty's music, thereby providing perspectives on her art, influences, and stature as a singer in the USA and Britain. It is clear throughout the interviews with them that they have enormous reverence for Springfield as an artist. Interviews with DS herself are a great bonus. I have to stop here a moment to mention that there is something otherworldly, intensely beautiful, about the best of Dusty Springfield's music (as if I have to mention that to those who are familiar with her work), that is captured at times in the live renditions here. Many, many, MANY thanks to those that made this available on DVD, and to B.J. Thomas and Petula Clark for their fine input. Dusty Springfield was much bigger in the United Kingdom than in the USA, and I hope that more of her video material will be released on DVD for the benefit (and education) of people around the world, especially now that she is gone. There is even film footage of Dusty Springfield with Jimi Hendrix, on a VHS available in the UK. I'd like to see that made available on DVD. Another thing worth mentioning, something I've noticed over many years, and in different countries, and across cultures and generations; people of ALL ages and backgrounds are gripped by her music. Try it yourself; find someone who's never heard her music, play them one of her better songs, and watch their reaction.
