Coincidentally, I saw a great documentary about Dusty last night (called Definitely Dusty) where they talked about her career in some detail. The vocals for Dusty in Memphis were actually recorded in NY, because she was so intimidated in Memphis, she couldn't bring herself to sing! Jerry Wexler also said that while she was recording, she had the playback up incredibly high, so she couldn't hear herself at all. Which he found amazing - that she was still able to produce near flawless vocals! Hell
