Bobbie Gentry or Dusty Springfield?

I don't have an opinion on the vs. question, but sort of on topic, I recommend checking out Shelby Lynne's Just a Little Lovin' record.  It's her tribute to Dusty Springfield and a great listen.
Best part of this is I don't have to choose, I can revel in the glory of both of them (plus, of course Shelby's tribute recording to Dusty).  Bobbie wrote great songs and made great records.  Dusty sang great songs and made great records.  And the Mercury Rev, WOW.  Lucinda's vocal on that record is wonderful to these ears.
