Coincidence

Yesterday's Robert Elms show on Radio London included a 'Cover to Cover' feature to see which version of 'Son of a preacher man' was the best: Dusty Springfield of Aretha Franklin'. I missed the end of this but my vote would go to the Dusty Springfield version and not just because it featured in Pulp Fiction.

The coincidence? The Guardian report that:

'George Galloway is taking a break from agitating to make a musical about Dusty Springfield.'

Words fail me!


Here are the two versions:

First Dusty Springfield



And then Aretha Franklin
