I was only 9 yrs old when the song I Only Want To Be With You came out. But from the first time I heard it it just resonated with me. It wasn't until yrs later I found out who sung it and I just fell in love with Dusty. The black and white video on the net is amazing to see, her style and mannerisms just so wonderful to watch. It draws a tear from me when I hear her songs and think she's gone from this world.
Not only was she one of the best singers ever, and a beautiful, warm, intelligent, socially conscious, down-to-earth person. She was also a bold, individualistic dresser with a style all her own; she loved bling, texture, bright colors, and always looked great. I loved the interviews with the people close to her.
In the sixtyes she was one most beautiful about blonde singers in uk (in.my opinion),but she was especially one of most brilliant singers in europe(at not only)),and a very brave lady too..i don't say it because she deAd
Dusty looks good here, very sunny in her yellow outfit, and, as always, very well-spoken. I am an American, but am semi-familiar with British television. And I know Dusty was huge in the U.K., her presence extending beyond rock & roll to include being the host (or "presenter," as you Brits call them) of a few television variety shows, as well the most frequent guest host of Rediffusion's "Ready Steady Go!" series.
I would say Dusty was to British television what Ed Sullivan and Andy Williams were to American television, and, like Williams, not only a talented singer, but a very good TV personality, clearly a woman who knew her way around a TV studio and how to play to the cameras.. She is still doing that here in this clip.
Frans Jansen: Thanks for posting this. Finally! Some interviewer asked Dusty a question which allowed her to talk about music for a few minutes. Which is what her real fans want to hear her talk about. Of course, the girl had to ask her about her eye makeup, a big waste of time. I know Dusty must have been exhausted talking about that over and over. I wish she wouldn't have done the makeup anyway as it covered up her beautiful green/hazel eyes too much. Loved it that Dusty took a shot back at the typical mean spirited interviewers she had to contend with over the years, the no talent jealous losers.
I miss Dusty, and wish I could have watched her British TV shows. Of course Dusty spent a fair amount of time in the States from the 1960s through mid-80s, before returning "home" to her native England. But If anyone out there (including Vicki Wickham, should you ever read this) knows if any of Dusty's series' are or will be available on DVD, please let me know.
gymnastics: Here's 2 of the best Dusty DVDs, both available at Amazon. "Once Upon a Time: 1964-1979" and "Dusty Springfield: Live at The BBC" which features the best performances from all of her BBC TV series. It's been available since 2007. Both are 11 out of 10 for me!
interesting subject matter, especially in retrospect. music in the 80s did seem to blend genres, you'd have rock music with synthesizers, reggae music fused with pop. genres and motives were all accepted and blended together to the point where you can now say you like 80's music as it's own genre!
+Lechiffresix six Please come to Sinaloa and Jalisco in Mexico. She mimics a good 80% of all chicks under the age of 30. No swear words or whorish language is needed to describe her look. LOL
I agree with you. Dusty was the real deal. Madonna's a poser. Give me Dusty, Petula, Lesley Gore, and Ronnie Spector any day of the week! Even Cyndi Lauper, from the same era as Madonna, is a more genuine person than Madonna. I don't agree with Chrissie Hynde's politics. But I like her music. And Annie Lennox is a superb singer.
Ronnie spector is one of my fav singers too and leslie gore sang well too...but I worship gorgeous and good veronica bennet singing voice and her face's espressions
I love it! I've always hated Madonna but LOVE Dusty. Her eyes here look more like Siouxsie, Chrissie Hynde or Annie Lennox. Well it was the '80s, I guess.
I think Dusty got it wrong. It’s ENGLAND that pidgeonholes artists. Lulu, for instance, could never get a ballad hit in the UK after “Shout” put her into the upbeat category.
She influenced thousands with her eye make-up, and is still considered the best female vocalist from Britain - ever. Love the colour of her eye make-up.

She reminds me of Diana, very soft spoken, deep and sensitive but with a spark of fun.
Ditto
Not just a beautiful voice, a truly beautiful soul, with her passion for animals 💜
Such a classy and beautiful lady. RIP
Gorgeous and talented lady as few

Lovely woman. Amazing voice. It's a terrible shame that she passed away from cancer.
I love her
Damned cancer
Perhaps she was still alive if she would had got that illness nowdays

First time that I have seen this post. Thanks, Frans. Love the cat's names, as usual, quite creative. Miss you, Dust.
Thanks so much for sharing these fantastic interviews. What a lady she was, much missed. I'm sure she's out there making sweet music..somewhere

I thought she was very famous in u.s.a and in australia too

love that make-up from the 80s! lovely interview
I prefer her with less makeup and when her hair was less blond
interesting subject matter, especially in retrospect.

The True White Queen Of Soul xx
But she could sing music"s several kinds
August 1985,
ahhh! the eye makeup crack was good! lol, what year was this?
I like the look in her eye when they mention her private life - The Judaeo-Christian weaponization of non-heterosexuality registers.
First time I listened to her singing,I was sure she was a black american lady
Wow look at Dusty Springfield barely looks age 35
ITS HALLOWEEN ONCE MORE !
Guess you'd know by your name.
she is a drag quee'sn dream with that make up

I agree and I especially love Petula!
i gotta know what the cats name means! i cant even understand what shes saying to translate!
She named one Mary Catherine as her markings reminded her of a nun's habit, with her having been raised Catholic.
Was that a british show?
I love it! I've always hated Madonna but LOVE Dusty. Her eyes here look more like Siouxsie, Chrissie Hynde or Annie Lennox. Well it was the '80s, I guess.
Pongan subtítulos en castellano!🙏
Who was that lady interviewer ? Ann ......
Anna Ford?
Anne Diamond
I think Dusty got it wrong. It’s ENGLAND that pidgeonholes artists. Lulu, for instance, could never get a ballad hit in the UK after “Shout” put her into the upbeat category.
nice , she was completely aware of her desires.?????
Dusty had a tumultuous life as a lesbian!!
Her business.
She was really beautiful,but i dont 'like hairdresser did her big hair and i like neither work what make up.man did on her pretty face
Henry should have probably stayed out of this one, out of his depth, and constantly interrupting
Henry Kelly on Going For Gold used to ask questions which began, "What Am I?" one word answer......WANKER!!!!
wat too much eye make up
She influenced thousands with her eye make-up, and is still considered the best female vocalist from Britain - ever. Love the colour of her eye make-up.
