Resuming my Tuesday/Tunesday theme, today's post features the legendary British songstress, Dusty Springfield. Producer Jerry Wexler's description of her; "perfect intonation, every note correct, gorgeous tone production and her own trademark individual phrasing" - are all on display in this performance. The song, originally written by Jacques Brel in 1959 as "Ne Me Quitte Pas', was adapted by Rod McKuen and released on Dusty's album "The Look of Love" in 1967.
