...singing voice, past, present (or future!) in your opinion, most resembles Dusty's?..
Were there?/Is there?/ is there likely to be?....

 I think Bobbie's being herself on the song - the result sounds like Dusty. |

I thought so. Is it me or does she try to be like Dusty in doing her song? |

FYI, I think Bobbie DID do a cover of SOAPM. She is another I like a lot, believe when the '70s came along, she just quit while on top, basically. Hasn't really been in the public at all since.
As for who...well, we can all agree that a "next Dusty" is a tall order. Seems her contemporaries are the ones who would keep that kind of music alive. Moreso cause the music industry today doesn't exactly breed stars based on musical ability alone. The best I can think of is to think of people who mirror her work ethic and love and respect for music. |

Sorry Reputation if I upset you.In my lifetime I have listened to all types of music:classical,Jazz,Pop music etc .Unfortunately I had neglected listening to Dusty for the last 35 years! At present Dusty supplies all my musical needs with the power and variety of her performances.

Thanks Sweetbaby. Dusty beats Bobbie easily. I'm surprised that Bobbie doesn't do this song justice. She sounds like she didn't want to sing it. Someone must have told her to.

I don't think Bobbie sounds out of tune on INFILA: her voice has a bruised sound which some might not find attractive - & to be honest I'm surprised that the song was a UK no#1 especially as the Brits gave such a lukewarm reception to Ode to Billie Joe. BTW the week Bobbie topped the charts with INFILA Dusty's Am I the Same Girl was in the last of its 4 weeks in the Top 50 at no#46 dropping from its no#43 peak.
In case anyone missed my post on Bobbie's July 27 birthday here's her take on SOAPM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtQEXAaLNs8;
the composers John Hurley & Ronnie Wilkins also wrote the title cut from Bobbie's Touch 'Em With Love album:

I LOVE Bobbie Gentry singing 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again'. In the old days when I had a passing liking for Dusty's voice I thought Bobbie was just as good - on this song. I still think her voice is great and I have a couple of her compiltations. She was another cool woman who didn't do well as the 60s turned into the '70s.
After I'd been able to listen to more Dusty and those Bacharach covers I wondered why it wasn't Dusty that recorded this song at Burt's request. It's like Burt has asked Bobbie to sing it like Dusty and even as if there was a Dusty demo on hand. I've often wondered why the recording relationships with Burt and Carole King seemed to ebb away. Was it because Dusty wasn't having hits anymore...
I also think Dusty copied Bobbie's look a little when she had that big hair around the time of 'Son of a Preacher Man' and the Burt Bacharach special. And I think Bobbie's success was one of the reasons Dusty chose to sing 'Preacher Man' (this sounds very much like a Bobbie song to me).

That's a good one too Douggie. I love Grace Slick and all her variations of Jefferson-Starship-Airplane-Starship etc.  She has quite a catalogue and the progression in her music is interesting to follow.

There is a girl singer who used to be in "Jefferson Starship' her name was Grace Slick. I thought that in the song "Nothings gonna stop us now" not so much in the verses but in the chorus she was very much like Dusty. She was born the same year as Dusty 1939 but stop singing when she was in her forties as she thought she was too old!!!
Cheers Douggie...........

 Plausible???
I just think that the tone of BG'S voice on that song is like Dusty's.

I really don't like Bobbie Gentry's version of this, I remember being shocked when I first heard it, I thought it was that bad
But I heard The Carpenters version first, and Karen is amazing
Ooh, and Dionne Warwick's version is brilliant too

Keld - thanks for the information! I have ALL 13 cd's and simply ADORE Hanne's version of SOAPM. Other favourites are 'Soundtrack of a night','Starting all over again' and 'End of our road'.

To Brian
I'm a dane like Hanne Boel and know a little about her singing and as you write she sounds a bit like Dusty But her voice is more dark /powerful and her feeling for music is more soulful
She had made 13 cd's and is very popular in scandinavia BUT her major skills is as a backing voice for most of the nordic singers
you can her her voice on over 100 of the danish /swedic male/female
top singers through the last 15 years !
she have made some " DUSTY " tracks and is a great fan of her way of singing (her live concert's always have some of dusty's tunes)
try if you don't know her version of son of... and mockinbird

Hi Linda
That's such a great song as sung by Roberta. It's one of the songs I wish Dusty had covered plus Roberta's beautiful slowed down version of 'Will You Still Love Me Tommorrow' which was the B side of this great single. I've got it stashed away somewhere... Dusty must have loved these versions too.
Good choice. Great voice.
