Dusty Springfield – You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me

Dusty Springfield performing You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me on her 1966 BBC Television show “Dusty.” I think this was a pre-recorded performance. I don’t believe it is an album track she is singing to. If any one can confirm this, please let me know. This track is available as a special feature on the Live at the BBC DVD.
