MY WEEKLY VIDEO BLOG: THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE! # 5: Dusty Springfield, "I Only Want To Be With You"

An infinite number of songs can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. I like that idea so much I'm writing a book about it. And I'm promoting that book with a weekly video series, discussing each of the book's chosen tracks one by one.

This week's GREM! video rant is about "I Only Want To Be With You" by Dusty Springfield. You can listen to that fabulous song right here, and you can see my giddy enthusiasm for it expressed here:


If you dig these weekly ravings, please subscribe to my YouTube channel, and convince your friends to likewise declare, "Carl, I only want to be with you!" NEXT WEEK: The Sex Pistols and "God Save The Queen." Join me. We mean it, man.
