A Girl Called Dusty was the debut album from Britain's most acclaimed female vocalist Dusty Springfield. It contains a mix of recent pop hits and Motown covers. Dusty was formerly with the folk pop group The Springfields. (UK:6)
"Dusty's voice is huge on most of these tracks, and although at this point she hasn't gained full control of her voice, it's still great to listen to because it captures a singer younger and more innocent, although even at this point her interpretation of songs are generally considered beyond her years."
"The songs on this album are timeless, and Dusty made them her own. Her first album, and one of the best of her entire career."
"Dusty really pours out her heart in My Colouring Book. A song that's guaranteed to reach into you and pull out a tear."
"My favourite song on this record is Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa, Dusty really grabs for the guts on this one as she does on the whole record."
"A Girl Called Dusty was her first album release, and it turned out to be quite a brilliant debut. Even in our times this music sounds so good; I can enjoy it no matter what. Dusty's ability to sing so many types of ballads impresses me, she always gave blood to please and thrill her fans."
"On her first solo album she didn't exactly go wild - but cleverly turned to US originals and sang them with her own twist, and it shows that she always recognized good songs from the start."
"Dusty Springfield's debut album A Girl Called Dusty, which was released in 1964, is without question, the most important female pop/soul debut ever waxed during that decade. Dusty Springfield's soulful vocals dominate throughout, as she blends a mixture of pop melody and soulful overtones that very few could ever match."
