"Son Of A Preacher Man" was recorded by Dusty Springfield towards the end of 1968, and was released as a single by her in December 1968.
The song was originally offered to Aretha Franklin, who turned down the chance to record it. It was only upon hearing Dusty's version that she reconsidered and later recorded a version of the song herself.
Dusty's version peaked at No.10 on the American Billboard chart, and at No.9 on the UK chart in early 1969.
