Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

This heart tugger of a killer track written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David for an American artist called Tommy Hunt in 1963. Dusty had been to New York, heard the track and bought a copy back home to the UK to record. This was her 3rd solo single release and became the classic Dusty sound, complete with the trademark, thick eyeliner and beehive hair-do was enough to get the single to number 3 in the UK charts in the summer of 1964. The single got an American release but didn't get into the Billboard charts although Dionne Warwick's version managed to chart.
