About two years ago, I posted an Aretha Franklin - Dusty Springfield compilation. A year later, a commenter said that he was surprised that Dusty won the "competition" between the two easily. I was a little surprised by that, but I have to admit, after listening to the comp again several months ago, that indeed Dusty won that compilation. In the spirit of fair competition, I thought a rematch was in order (plus, it's only right that this comp includes Dusty's version of "I Can't Wait to See My Baby's Face). I say it's a draw, but I'll let y'all make up your own minds.

Thank you again for putting together both these volumes. I can't wait to listen.
Aretha vs Dusty - nice... without listening, i think i'd lean towards Aretha. I'll get back to you and tell you who I think came out on top through your compilation.
It's kind of hard to bet against the Queen of Soul, but I did give Aretha a handicap by staying away from her big hits. And I did include Dusty's knockout version of Tupelo Honey....
Thanks for this, jury's still out.
Any chance of a re on vol 1 please? MF not playing ball!

@anonymous,
Consider it re-upped
Maybe it's just me, but where is the re?

It's a filefactory link, so you have to scroll down the page to the slow download link

Many thanks for the reups of the reups...brilliant post.
IMO Dusty definitely has soul, but Aretha IS soul...
Aretha really is soul, as you put it, but I would give Dusty the tiniest edge just as a singer.
Love your blog!! Please can you be so kind and re-up this selection. Thanks
DK,
Just re-upped this one and the first volume, too. Enjoy!
