Dusty in Memphis - no#38 Gayest album
Posted - 06/09/2008 : 00:30:13
A chance visit to a Donna Summer forum informed me of Out.com's list of 100 Greatest Gayest Albums - I thought our girl would likely be in evidence there & indeed at no#38 is Dusty in Memphis with the blurb Despite its many songwriters, this exquisitely sequenced album by British songbird Dusty Springfield presents a unified statement on the tumultuous nature of love. It didn’t sell spectacularly, even while yielding the instant classic Son of a Preacher Man, but it has long been considered a pinnacle of white soul. When Springfield follows the philosophic No Easy Way Down with the pleading I Can’t Make It Alone, the effect is softly devastating. A year later she spoke openly of her same-sex attractions.
