(Love Is Like A) Heatwave – Dusty Springfield
I was actually just reading this morning in Motown: The Sound Of Young America about how Dusty Springfield was one of the key players in getting Motown music into the UK, so it’s fitting that this should pop up today. While originally released by Martha & The Vandellas, that original single actually did not have the opening parentheticals.
