5.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant "new" release from a true icon, 12 Feb 2001
Dusty's US album Cameo and the previously unreleased tracks from the aborted Longing album are here released as a majestic tribute to the Diva. Each of the tracks is a jewel - especially the heartachingly beautiful In the Winter. Unutterably breathtaking - Dusty's best album to date! A true icon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dusty how we miss you, 12 Jan 2008
By maz "maz" (Kent , England) - See all my reviews
Without a shadow of a doubt Dusty Springfield was the best British female singer ever. Many listeners (like me) can't remember her at her peak of fame in the 60's, but it only highlights her pure brilliance that Dusty has such a following across the age spectrum.

Beautiful Soul is essentially 2 albums in one; Cameo released in 1973 and Longing that was recorded in 1974, but never released in full...until now.

Cameo was not a commercial success, which is a disgrace as, in my opinion, it contains some of Dusty's best songs. Who Gets Your Love is angst written and could easily be from Dusty In Memphis. Easy Evil is a slinky, funky cut and is actually about heroin addiction. Coming And Going is 70's radio friendly and jolly good it is to. Normally I can't stand Van Morrison, but I have to say Tupelo Honey is first class (or at least Dusty makes it so). OH THAT VOICE!

The second half of the album is the aborted Longing. Some of these tracks such as Exclusivly For Me and In The Winter have surfaced on box sets, but now we have it in full. On some of these tracks, you can hear Dusty's personal problems embodied in her voice, but for me, it makes it all the more special.

The most interesting song on the whole album is Beautiful Soul ,a love song sung by a woman to another woman. It is one of the few times that Dusty made any reference to her sexuality. A beautiful and touching song.

All in all Beautiful Soul is an excellent album and any Dusty fans worth their salt should own it.

5.0 out of 5 stars DUSTY 'S BEAUTIFUL SOUL, 22 April 2008
I've just reviewed the `Cameo' tracks under the Cameo CD release. This review is about the tracks for an unfinished album that might have been called `Elements' or 'Longing'. I was in the USA a few years back and, by chance, happened to be in the town (Nyack) where Dusty recorded (or rehearsed) these tracks at the house of Brooks Arthur. I had to sit down quietly in a crowd, think about Dusty and tip my invisible hat. This album was released after Dusty had gone up to Soulville and it was quite emotional to listen to these tracks for the first time on top of the long lost Cameo album and realise again what we'd lost.

For this album Dusty chose thoughtful well crafted songs that she could relate to and the album is very adult and interesting for that. Given that this album is unfinished, the vocal performances vary in quality but there are some fantastic performances here. The quite radical change in song type and production from the previous smooth soul records to this adult oriented pop makes the album refreshing. `Exclusively for Me', 'Turn Me Around' In the Winter', `Home to Myself' are stunning. Dusty is in fine voice here and, of course, interprets the songs with great depth and intelligence. `I Am Your Child' (early Barry Manilow) is my favourite track. The arrangement, strings and vocals are sublime; it reaches into your heart and makes you stop still. Unfortunately the loud `A Love Like Yours' comes straight after and brings the listener back to ground with a bump! `Angels' is almost gospel. Dusty sings everything with great soul and has, as usual, great soulful backing vocals; the production is very good too. The strings are beautiful.

`Make the Man Love Me' (but I really like this poppy track and it's a decent recording) and to a further extent `A Love Like Yours' (she's still a soul girl) are rough cuts and you can hear that Dusty is not in great condition but she still sings these songs with soul and feeling. Dusty would never have released these tracks (especially A Love Like Yours) as they are here but I'm very happy to have them.

`Beautiful Soul' is a song to a troubled woman. Dusty sings it beautifully. Why did Dusty choose it? I think this is Dusty singing to herself probably unconsciously. It fits Dusty very well. But it could also be an acknowledgment of her sexuality too. It was probably both. I wonder if she would have released this track on the finished album. Anyhow it's a greatest hit in my book because like `I Am Your Child' it is poignant and exquisite. Even at the high price here for this CD it's worth buying because you're getting two very rare albums of great material. These together with 'It Begins Again' are her definitive`70's albums in terms of her personal and professional journeys.
