Who Gets Your Love?


"Who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she kiss you with her eyes
Choose your ties, keep your pillow warm?"

An underrated slice of heartbreak pop balladry from Dusty's hard-to-find 1973 album 'Cameo'. Features the legendary Carol Kaye, one of the world's most prolific bass players - and a bird to boot! - whose sessions include Good Vibrations, Mission: Impossible, These Boots Are Made For Walking and Wichita Lineman.

'Who Gets Your Love?' was also recorded (equally soulfully) by reggae star Ken Boothe in 1978 with Sly and Robbie. I notice on this seven inch he has claimed the songwriting credit, which may not have pleased Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, the original writer/producers. Ace, nevertheless.
