The old "one person's trash is another's treasure" thing. Apparently Dusty was appalled when she heard this music. She didn't want to do easy-listening ballads, she wanted to sing gritty funk and RnB.
Ahmet Ertegun (that genius again) persisted and, after some fraught recording sessions with the odd ashtray flung, they came out with a wonderful album.
The album gave Dusty her first hit in ages with 'Son of a Preacher Man'. The album received rave reviews, but it tanked commercially. Personally, I love it.
