I Can't Make It Alone
I Only Wanna Be With You
I'll Try Anything (To Get You)
In Private
In The Middle of Nowhere
Losing You
Nothing Has Been Proved
Some of Your Lovin'

Tegeltjeswijsheid: 10 liedjes van Dusty wegstrepen is net als haar stem heartbreaking

Ik heb de playlist van de startlijst uitgebreid, dat maakt wellicht makkelijker schrappen. 30 liedjes, anderhalf uur topmuziek:

Dusty Top 10

02. The Windmills of your Mind
03. Summer Is Over
04. Anyone Who Had A Heart
05. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

10. Yesterday When I Was Young

Ik heb op zich niet heel veel met zangeressen. De meeste zangeressen die ik goed vind (zoals bv. Kylie, Sandra en Donna Summer) vind ik vooral goed door de muziek. Bij Dusty ligt dit anders want daar is ook de muziek goed maar die stem...Ja die stem is echt fantastisch. daar komt geen enkele zangeres bij in de buurt, zelfs niet een beetje. Ze kan zoveel brengen met haar vocalen. De sfeervolle zachte stukken zitten vol melancholie en de harder gezongen stukken zit zoveel power en overtuiging dat de rillingen over mijn rug lopen.

Een top 10 is dus niet zo heel makkelijk, zeg maar gerust moelijk maar soms moet een man doen wat een man moet doen!

Dusty top 10:

1. Son of a Preacher Man
2. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten

Beetje Cliché maar Son Of A Preacher Man vind ik nog steeds haar beste, waanzinning goed nummer is dat.

1. Summer Is Over
2. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
3. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
4. The Windmills of your Mind
5. What Have I Done to Deserve This?
6 . I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
7. Son of a Preacher Man
8. In Private
9. Breakfast in Bed
10. I Only Wanna Be With You

Wat een meeslepend nummer! Prachtige melodie, maar de vertolking is onovertroffen. Vaak genoeg (te veel dus) gecovered, maar .. niet in de schaduw!
2. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
3. I Can't Make It Alone
4. I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore
5. Wishin' And Hopin'
6. Goin' Back

8. Breakfast in Bed
9. The Windmills of your Mind
10. Don't Forget About Me

Ik ben nog echt een groentje op het gebied van Dusty, maar ik vind haar muziek interessant genoeg om me er eens wat meer in te verdiepen. Te beginnen met deze finale.

1. Goin' Back
2. The Windmills of Your Mind
3. Son of a Preacher Man
4. Breakfast in Bed
5. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
6. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
7. The Look Of Love
8. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
9. Summer Is Over
10. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

I Think It's Gonna Rain Today (doet me ergens aan Joanna Newsom denken), The Look Of Love en Summer Is Over kende ik nog niet. Wat me sowieso opviel was het algemene hoge niveau. Alleen What Have I Done to Deserve This?, In Private en Anyone Who Had A Heart bevielen me niet.

1 Son of a Preacher Man
2 I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
3 I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
4 In Private
5 Wishin' and Hopin'
6 You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
7 Yesterday When I Was Young
8 I Only Wanna Be With You
9 The Windmills of your Mind
10 Anyone Who Had A Heart

1. Just a Little Lovin'
2. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
3. I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore
4. The Look of Love
5. Son of a Preacher Man
6. Yesterday When I Was Young
7. The Windmills of your Mind
8. In Private
9. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
10. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten

De vorige keer dat ik hier meedeed was voor Greatest Hits of Metallica. In die selectie kon ik al mijn favoriete nummers vinden. Dat is nu anders en het voelt wel een beetje suf om dan energie te steken in het maken van een top 10 die dus niet helemaal je top 10 is. Maar ik heb de opdracht serieus opgevat en dat resulteert in bovenstaand lijstje.

1. Anyone Who Had A Heart
2. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
3. Son of a Preacher Man
4. I Only Wanna Be With You
5. The Windmills of your Mind
6. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
7. Breakfast in Bed
8. Wishin' and Hopin'
9. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
10. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

1. I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten


2. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
3. Anyone Who Had A Heart
4. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
5. The Look Of Love
6. Summer Is Over
7. Wishin' And Hopin'
8. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
9. Son Of A Preacherman
10. Yesterday When I Was Young

1. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
2. The Windmills of your Mind
3. Just a Little Lovin'
4. Breakfast in Bed
5. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
6. Dont Forget About Me
7. I Can't Make It Alone
8. I Dont Want To Hear It Anymore
9. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
10. In Private

Een slecht nummer zat er niet tussen. Wel een paar die ik in een andere versie (The Look of Love door Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 / Anyone Who Had A Heart in het origineel door Dionne Warwick) mooier vind.

Verder toch wel veel Dusty In Memphis, al steekt de nummer 1 die daar niet vanaf komt er toch wel met kop en schouders bovenuit.

En op 10 nog een ereplaats voor In Private, het Dusty-liedje waar ik als 11-jarige al fan van was.

1. Son of a Preacher Man
2. I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
3. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
4. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
5. Goin' Back
6. Breakfast in Bed
7. The Windmills of your Mind
8. Summer Is Over
9. The Look Of Love

5. Goin' Back
6. I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
7. Son of a Preacher Man
8. Breakfast In Bed
9. I Can't Make It Alone
10. How Can I Be Sure

Welk nummer bedoel je hiermee?

Summer is Over? Look of Love?

Deze ligt er al uit. Wellicht kun je je top 10 aanpassen?
