Dusty Springfield had the most smolderingly luscious voice of all time. I can listen to her sing forever!!!

Never will forget this song. It was late March in 1968; I just finished basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX. A group of us went to the base bistro just inside the main gate for 3.2 beer and pizza. There was a jukebox in the bistro and I played The Look of Love by Dusty. I played it over and over missing my girlfriend who later became my wife. I now have a 1966 Seeburg Stereo Showcase in my basement bar and an original 45 Dusty Springfield recording of this song. It always brings me back to that wonderful cold late March day in Texas after going through a challenging six weeks of basic and enjoying friendship, 3.2 beer and below average pizza (for a New Jersey Italian) at the base bistro. I remember absolutely everything about that day and that moment which I will forever treasure.

Magic. No lip synching, no dubbing, no 'post' work. Just a woman with a great voice, amazing musicality and charisma, singing a great Bachrach song. And since she's a real singer, she doesn't have to stick the mike up in her face in order to be heard. She's taking good deep breaths, supporting her sound and making music.

Actually he only wrote the music: the music was written by Burt Bacharach, and was originally intended to be an instrumental. But later Hal David added the lyrics, and the song was published in 1967. Dusty Springfield first did the song, and everyone else followed.....

I have to thank Dusty Springfield for helping me out of a very difficult time in my life. I was in my 30's and had heard and loved her singing this song. I couldn't get enough of it. At the same time, I was diagnosed with Acute Anxiety Syndrome and spent three months in the Institute of Living in Hartford, Connecticut working on my issue(s). I spent time in a "locked unit" but gradually along with my doctor at the hospital gradually worked on my problem and my way out of the unit and onto the open campus. On Saturday nights they had a singing contest for patients backed by a small group. I have a good singing voice for a normal human being and of course I chose The Look of Love. The lyrics are amazing and I tried to sing it like she did. I won the contest every Saturday and must have bored a lot of people but the way she sang/sings it right here seems to me like she was meant to sing it. No one else, just her owning it. The eloquence of her phrasing and the emotion that comes from her during her performance of this song makes me cry and feel happy at the same time. It is very therapeutic for me like a sweet drug without consequence. The song is about love, which I needed and got from her voice which for me exudes and promotes sensuality and sexuality. Both of those things I was dealing with at the time. To me she is so sensual and sexual in the way she performs this song, her voice is very smooth yet raw with emotion and draws you into it. Bacharach and David created this for her to sing and they were so right in their choice. So, thank you Dusty although you are not with us now. You helped me through a crucial time and this song brought me to a brand - new reality, a happy one and I am enjoying life still listening and watching you perform it like no one else could, ever, and enjoying great experiences in love and loving women because of you.
