"Son of a Preacher Man" is a song written and composed by American songwriters John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins and recorded by British singer Dusty Springfield in September 1968 for the album Dusty in Memphis.
I'd be grateful if you could give the video a 👍 and subscribe if you're new to the channel.
This excerpt is from This Is 'Tom Jones', March 1969.
Springfield's version was produced by Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin for her first album for the Atlantic Records label and became an international hit reaching number 10 in the US and number 9 in the UK when it was released in 1968. The album Dusty in Memphis was released in stereo, though its singles were remixed and released in mono. "Son of a Preacher Man" was to be the last Top Ten chart hit for Springfield for almost 20 years, until she teamed up with Pet Shop Boys for the single "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" in 1987.
Early UK colour PAL recording from March 1969 probably recorded in TC8 with Marconi Mk7 cameras.
