I was a trumpet player with Dusty's group from 1965 to the early seventies and to see all of these video s brings back so many good memories of working with her I am still sorry those days are gone. I thank you for putting all her videos on the web. Derek Andrews.
Wow, Derek Andrews oh, you are so lucky to have been in that era and to actually have known her and played with her. Thank you so much because you're right that era is so gone and it's so sad I hope it will come back and thank you because if you were a part of that that brings me closer to my father.
Don't know if you played trumpet on "The Look of Love" but that particular song is one for the ages no question about it. What a moment for us all, crikey.
The trumpet part of the arrangement in "Wishin' and Hopin'" is (to me) a major hook in the record itself. I imagine you played it more than a few times!
We are an African-American family who adored Dusty Springfield. And we still do. She was absolutely unique and there will never be another. Thank you for uploading this great documentary! 🎤🎹🎶
Terry,gorgeous and talented dusty springfield was a white woman with and amazing soul singing voice..first time i heard her 's voice,i.was sure she was a black.lady
Being an American growing up in Alabama during the 1960's and 70's and also being Gay I have claimed Dusty Springfield for years as my favorite female singer of all time. Now in my 60's I not only claim it but know it. What a voice ! What a talent ! I miss her so ,so very much and will until the day I die.
I have loved Dusty's songs, all of my life and i also admired her dress sense, so much so, that i have imitated her style for years! I buy original 1960s clothing from a charity shop where i live. They have a great vintage section, upstairs!! I was so upset when we lost her back in 1999 that i just burst into tears when i heard of her sad passing on the Radio Two News. I was preparing dinner and when i heard the sad news, i had to take a little time out from my task, to compose myself. I have never been affected by a star's passing such as i was with Dusty, before or since. ..... Incidentally, i think she was very brave for refusing to perform to segregated audiences! Segregation is an evil concept as this was how the holocaust, was first conceived. Thank you for showing us this great Memo of a great superstar! xxxxxx
From Holland with love. 🇳🇱❤️ Dusty was my absolute favorite, with the most pure, unique and beautiful voice I ever heard, and will not come. They can.not. make this music now. That soul . is. GONE💩 ‘I just dont know what to do...’ was my top ever.What an artist!
Had this song played at my 50th anniversary party simply because I thought it was gorgeous, and it was popular when my hubby was in Vietnam...memories! Married in 65, and this was playing on the radio! The song was You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me....thought I needed to add that fact! When the Pet Shop Boys say you are the best ever that is an honor!
I likes her special voice. In the 60. I heard her her songs so as Cilla Black. Beatles. The song I Only want to be with you. The best song I liked so much. Can never forget her.
Ahhh Dusty! Fell in love with her as a kid living in England. The woman still thrills and sends shivers all these decades later. Rest in peace beautiful angel.
I graduated from H.S. in 1964. She was and still is one of my favorites. It was touch and go for a while though. I thought I was going to drive my parents insane playing her songs over and over again. One of England's true treasures. And ours too.
@Searlait Loughlin Thank you for this. I knew some of it but not all. I was extremely saddened when she died right before being inducted into the R & R Hall of Fame.
I saw her at a small venue in NY in 1980. Tables around a small stage , intimate setting, everyone there idolized and adored Dusty. She sounded great, told some stories and all of a sudden Rock Hudson is standing next to me beside the stage holding hands with her as she sang to him and it was everything. A bond like two soldiers that had fought together on the battlefield have that time can't erase.
Gorgeous voice, lovely lady, still got her 45's. I was about 16 when I heard her on the hit parade. Her sexual orientation is her business, no one else's
I will be 73 years of age soon and remember all of Dusty's introduction and career in the US.She was introduced to American AM radio and later TV at about the time of the Beatles invasion.She was fantastic ! Her songs were played 24/7 on AM radio. She had hit after hit and was so popular she was soon seen on the TV variety shows accross the nation.We could see just how charismatic and beautiful she really was. When she teamed up with Burt Bacharach, who had a winning songwriting and respected song writing team,the sky was the limit and that is exactly where she landed.We loved her every bit as much as our British friends and we miss her early ! Peace !
I worked next door to a record company in the 70's and was given a vinyl album with songs that were never released. I treasure this album. I believe some of the songs were with the Pet Shop boys. Phenomenal!
Simply my favorite and the greatest female singer of the 20th century. Absolutely peerless. To Vicki Wickham: Yes, the lyrics on one hand to "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" ARE rubbish. On the other hand, they perfectly convey romantic compromise which also rends the heart. Just great.
I was born in1960, but I clearly remember dusty Springfield you don't own me, son of a preacher man, etc hearing it all on am radio. Here I am 57 years later and how things have changed!!!! Like the song " in the. Year 25-25.
I've always liked her voice. She was such a natural no matter what song she sang, she made it her own. Thank you for posting this video, I was riveted during the entire thing.
Thanks for the post. There were a number of very, very good female singers from the UK in the 1960's who all had deserved success (Petula Clark, Sandy Shaw, Cilla Black for example) and then there was Dusty Springfield in a league of her own to my mind. The greatest white female soul singer of her era and probably any era - the only female singer who I suggest could be considered in the same class as Arethra Franklin. I understand Dusty herself never thought she was at the level and was plagued with self-doubts throughout her career, but I am sure her many fans would have no trouble with that comparison.
Mary O'Hara - Great voice, and possibly the best ever female vocal deliverer of songs, of all time. Its all in the nuance ... the timing ... the timbre of the voice ... and most of all, the vocal flow and the confidence. And who would ever have known - As a catholic, she shares the pedestal of distinct uniqueness with such other luminaries as Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lydon, and George O'Dowd.
Dusty In Memphis: I've owned this album for so many years. Having seen this documentary, I realize the exceptional album she should have recorded would own the title, Dusty In Motown. The possibilities, the magic, the results would have been incredible. Her voice was powerful, sultry, smooth, smoky, yearning. I have no favorite song of hers. There are too many that matter to me.
I love Dusty!! She is one of my favorite singers . My friends laugh at me when i listen to her. But i don''t care. I tell them to shut up!!! And i keep playing her. Then to torture them i start playing Petula Clark, another singer i adore.. lol
It took so much to create those great songs. First a great tune, an amazing singer to bring it to life along with very talented musicians and singers doing it all live in the studio Unlike todays poor excuse for music! . Dusty and Petula , so glad you love them!
Hey fuzzy one I'm so glad thought you love Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark like I've said before when I first saw this it brought me back closer to my father because I was one out of five children that liked this and got teased a lot and like you I don't care because people are discovering these artists all the time and I'm happy to say I loved this artist before it was popular in my time
Great documentary, Dusty was the real deal, as a small boy I clearly remember her, she made an impact on me, and she did absolutely the right thing insisting on not playing to segregated audiences.
Thank you for posting this. It was most interesting. I loved several of her singles when I was a kid, particularly "Wishin' and Hopin'". I dismissed "The Look of Love" as a "lounge song" for old people but I now consider it to quite possibly be her best record; the sound of her vocal on that one is almost ethereal. "Just a Little Lovin'" is my fave from the Dusty in Memphis album. I hope she made some good money from her success with Pet Shop Boys; she deserved it. It is kind of sad that her sexuality was a topic of controversy (as usual in that era) and that it brought her so much personal angst. Speaking of sexuality, did anyone else notice that her brother was hot as hell? What a charmer.
She kicked the Door Open for every Blue Eyed Soul Singer from Duffy, Lisa Stansfield, Natasha Bedingfield, Jessi J., Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse (RIP), and of course Adele.
Natasha Bedingfield and Jessi J never were "blue eyed soul singers"...but maybe Annie Lennox or Alison Moyet yes...though the bulk of their back catalog is "Pop"...let's not mix things...
@@shombie2737 Well, Linda's been on my mind, quite a bit, and I lost count listening to Dusty of the songs I remember Linda recording. I think Linda must have been a fan.
So pleased I found this, she was so multifaceted and complex so much more than just a voice. One of the best things I ever did was stop and take notice.
"Dusty In Memphis" a Dusty Springfield masterpiece in a career filled with Classic Works remaining timeless works of art, radio & music industry in general didn't support her great works as they should have but connoisseur's of the greats did. Interesting going through Dusty Springfield youtube posts appears the great Diva's fame is bigger than ever!
I love Dusty and I think she (along with Martha Reeves) is very underrated. When talking about great female talents of the sixties Aretha, Dionne, Tina, Diana, & Streisand all of which whom I love too
I have loved my father's music since I don't know when and one of his artists but he loved was Dusty Springfield Cab Calloway Sam Cooke Otis Redding Elvis Tom Jones so many more and I was the one out of five children that loved his music and I was the I guess what they would call now a nerd. But this Canadian nerd is proud of it cuz I loved and still love this type of music oh, and proud. Dusty Springfield stood up for rights of people God bless
She was sooooo good, her songs were as important as the Righteous Brothers and their Unchained Melody. I was either not yet born or too young to care about music when Dusty had many of her hits, but no singer ever touched me in the way that Dusty did. When she passed away to breast cancer, I felt a deep loss. Never having seen her preform, feeling such sadness makes little sense but for the fact that music, why we like certain singers and why we carry memories tied to songs can't be explained it just is a fact of life. RIP you sweet and beautiful person.
Of course it makes sense, she touched you with her music, you's be a cold stone if she doesn't touch your soul. Same happens to me with Karen Carpenter and Judy Garland
I agree with Simon...she truly was the greatest pop singer of all time and I will take it a step further. I believe no pop singer on either side of the ocean could ever touch her and as far as I'm concerned...no one ever will. But even though that style of singing is passe, she still nails you to the floor whenever you hear her sing...whatever you hear her sing. The voice is unmistakable and still stands as a bastion among her peers and all who followed. Her closest allies and partners struggle trying to encapsulate just what it was that she had that made her stand out and such a phenomenon. How does one explain such talent? To say she had it all is too trite and far too simplistic but she did have it all you know...and she had each ingredient that goes to make up that talent in abundance. She also had each element in every category in abundance and that is a true rarity. Her BBC performances, collectively are the best of the best in my opinion. I have every video and audio performance that is in the public domain but one...and that is unfortunately out of print and held tightly by collectors...and yet, I go back to those old B&W TV shows again and again and again.
From the very first time I heard Dusty. I immediately false in love with her voice for singing. Still do today. When I was young would sing to her songs on the radio. She will always be remembered. Still #1. Will always love Dusty. She is the best.. ALWAYS
Dusty springfield,I'm a blk American soul sist.i accepted you brits.soul sist.and petula clark,is a soul sist.too rest n peace soul sist.i miss you and.your fab.voices and you're music too
@@doconnor1354 Yes, and if she was a diva, as they say in the video, that wouldn't endear her to people. Las Vegas was nothing to sneer at, career-wise - all the greats put on shows there and were paid princely sums. Many of the biggest artists from the UK settled in LA because of taxes. It is sad it didn't work out for her.
As a child,I thought -because of the name and sound that Dusty was from the U.S.. Later I was a little surprised when I found out she was from England.
✨🌿September ‘64’ at the Brooklyn Fox Theatre , Murray The “K” s Shows were a real honor to attend as a young boy with the great diversity of entertainment presented. “Dusty” -was fabulous !!! 🌿✨🤣🥊
Going in my oldest sister crates of music, I saw numerous albums of Dusty. Fast forward, I see where Luther Vandross gets his Remakes from. Burt and Carol are great writers!!!
I am English but was at the time working in Ireland, travelling to a very important business meeting. i heard on the radio of Dusty''s death. cannot remember the radio station but it put on a full hour of Dusty music, I just parked and listened, missed the meeting and didn't give a f*ck
PS, so sorry I am still watching this, totally enthralled I know. 1 Hour 4 minutes 45 seconds. I had to come back again to say this I totally know how she feels I would often not put my contact lenses in or have my glasses on when I modeled because I was very shy. I know a lot of people when you tell them that they don't think you're shy they don't understand but I do, because I was in the same situation but with me I was modeling with her she could have done anything singing modeling whatever I just think she was awesome. Thank you for bringing this out I am having a wonderful time listening to this and I'm going to let you go and get back to it thank you again, love from Canada.❤🇨🇦
She sang from the heart a wonderful soul, just amazing very special lady that brought much joy to millions. And what a voice wow. She should have stayed in England or Europe America really did not help her. In the end it destroyed her. She was the best and how could she have doubt about herself?
I must admit to musing, is there another shy dusty out there? Dusty's voice was unique, and of course, there will only ever be one Dusty, but the talent is out there. She had a wondrous and lustrous voice that enraptured you, it embraced you, and you identified so closely, you had or were experiencing those same feelings. Her life was complex and she identified with that complexity. She is so sadly missed by myself and many others. I pray she rests in peace and finally found the happiness she so much sort in life.
THE VOICE, TRUE BEAUTY, STYLE, CLASS, CHARM, CHARISMA GREATEST FEMALE ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME & Oh that voice!!! There is no other singer like the beautiful Dusty. I absolutely love you Dusty. I grew up with her music and still have her LP's and play them often and think of her. Darling Dusty, Even though you have finished your earthly course, you have set the standard and left a lasting legacy for all aspiring female singers worldwide. Miss you heaps and wishin' you were here. 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤💕💖💖💕💖💕💞💖💞

You must have some interesting stories.
We are sorry too.
Wow, Derek Andrews oh, you are so lucky to have been in that era and to actually have known her and played with her. Thank you so much because you're right that era is so gone and it's so sad I hope it will come back and thank you because if you were a part of that that brings me closer to my father.

Same here. She was awesome.
Dusty's voice is unique. Never been a voice like hers never will be. Many good voices out here.. but none like hers.
Terry,gorgeous and talented dusty springfield was a white woman with and amazing soul singing voice..first time i heard her 's voice,i.was sure she was a black.lady
Searlait i'm really fascinated by emerald ireland indeed
God Bless You. I thought it was so beautiful when the NAACP acknowledged her Death back in 1999 on a TV Special.
Being an American growing up in Alabama during the 1960's and 70's and also being Gay I have claimed Dusty Springfield for years as my favorite female singer of all time. Now in my 60's I not only claim it but know it. What a voice ! What a talent ! I miss her so ,so very much and will until the day I die.
Dusty singing Burt Bacharach songs is so beautiful that I always get teary-eyed.
I'm a child of the 1960s (born in 1958) and, to this day, Dusty is still one of my all-time favorite singers.
I have loved Dusty's songs, all of my life and i also admired her dress sense, so much so, that i have imitated her style for years! I buy original 1960s clothing from a charity shop where i live.

The amazing Dusty Springfield, a unique voice, I listen to her today in 2018.
I likes her special voice. In the 60. I heard her her songs so as Cilla Black. Beatles. The song I Only want to be with you. The best song I liked so much. Can never forget her.
Ahhh Dusty! Fell in love with her as a kid living in England. The woman still thrills and sends shivers all these decades later. Rest in peace beautiful angel.
Damned cancer
This is it! What a majestic voice! What a beautiful documentary and era. The golden 1960s wonderful voice. Dusty Springfield wow!
Like an evergreen, rain or shine, Dusty Springfield's career will keep growing, her legacy will live on forever. She is a true LEGEND.
Love this lady
I graduated from H.S. in 1964. She was and still is one of my favorites. It was touch and go for a while though. I thought I was going to drive my parents insane playing her songs over and over again. One of England's true treasures. And ours too.

Tineke Williams Dusty Springfield - what a voice and as soon as she starts singing it takes me to a time when everything was good and fun!
It may be her business but still disappointing to someone who had a crush on her back when.
Tineke,i agree totally
The great beautiful Dusty. No one compares to you. RIP princess.
A great artiste of tremendous talent and gifted with such a magical voice she has left behind some of the best recordings ever made that are timeless.
I will be 73 years of age soon and remember all of Dusty's introduction and career in the US.She was introduced to American AM radio and later TV at about the time of the Beatles invasion.She was fantastic !

To Vicki Wickham: Yes, the lyrics on one hand to "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" ARE rubbish. On the other hand, they perfectly convey romantic compromise which also rends the heart. Just great.
One of my all time favorites!!! I loved her.
I still get chills every time I hear Dusty sing.
She was stunningly beautiful!
So cute and talented...she had an actress's face ....if she would estudied acting,perhaps she would had work in movies
Thanks for doing this. Dusty Springfield, what a beautiful, soulful voice. A true legend.
I was born in1960, but I clearly remember dusty Springfield you don't own me, son of a preacher man, etc hearing it all on am radio. Here I am 57 years later and how things have changed!!!! Like the song " in the. Year 25-25.
Desiree Hall You Don't Own Me was by Lesley Gore.
Dusty did cover You Don't Own Me but Lesley Gore had the hit version
If Burt Bacharch thinks you the one, there is no thing more to add
Burt Bacharach
Nah because BURT'S THE ONE OF THE GREATIST composers, performers, very handsome and timeless !!!!!
I've always liked her voice. She was such a natural no matter what song she sang, she made it her own. Thank you for posting this video, I was riveted during the entire thing.

Not to be picky but she was Mary O’Brien not O’Hara…..just saying👍
Dusty in Memphis one of the greatest albums ever.....
The greatest in my eyes
It truly is and it was difficult for her..
She could sing many music 's kinds at the contrary of her colleagues she could move
Dusty In Memphis: I've owned this album for so many years. Having seen this documentary, I realize the exceptional album she should have recorded would own the title, Dusty In Motown.

Two of my favorite singers are Dusty and Petula, since I was 5-6 years old and that was 50 years ago. Crank it loud and proud!!!!
Fantastic documentary about a fantastic lady with an incredible voice.
I miss her every day. RIP BRITISH QUEEN OF SOUL! XOXO
She passed away too soon
I liked her most as one of the Springfields, but it is amazing how easily she was able to rise to the heights she did as a soloist.
Such a "Soulful Voice".
Great documentary, Dusty was the real deal, as a small boy I clearly remember her, she made an impact on me, and she did absolutely the right thing insisting on not playing to segregated audiences.
Mary O! Brian, What a star this lady was, from the emerald isle to super stardom.

Dusty is probably the benchmark by which British female singers are judged. To me she is the epitome.
Billy Joel
she was Irish.
She's rather average. I was expecting more. There isn't anything special about her voice.
There are a ton of American singers better than her....black and white.
Bonnie Bramlett did it better.
She kicked the Door Open for every Blue Eyed Soul Singer from Duffy, Lisa Stansfield, Natasha Bedingfield, Jessi J., Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse (RIP), and of course Adele.
laminage
Yes she did do that
Natasha Bedingfield and Jessi J never were "blue eyed soul singers"...but maybe Annie Lennox or Alison Moyet yes...though the bulk of their back catalog is "Pop"...let's not mix things...
I was just thinking, wow, do you think Linda Ronstadt liked her much?
Both are so awesome; and in the past... brings a tear or two.
@@cmccauley1961 "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" was Linda's first hit
@@shombie2737 Well, Linda's been on my mind, quite a bit, and I lost count listening to Dusty of the songs I remember Linda recording. I think Linda must have been a fan.

The irony of ironies of her life was that she was to be inducted into the RNR Hall of Fame two days after her passing.
Dusty and Martha Reeves became good friends.
I loved her in high school. I still love her voice. Lovely artist.
I have loved my father's music since I don't know when and one of his artists but he loved was Dusty Springfield Cab Calloway Sam Cooke Otis Redding Elvis Tom Jones so many more and I was the one out of five children that loved his music and I was the I guess what they would call now a nerd.

I discovered Dusty later on, in CD, I bought one and I adored her, so it is such a pleasure to see her in the flesh, so to speak.
I adored Dusty. I love her voice, her music. It brings me back to younger days.
From the very first time I heard Dusty. I immediately false in love with her voice for singing. Still do today. When I was young would sing to her songs on the radio. She will always be remembered. Still #1. Will always love Dusty. She is the best.. ALWAYS
She was so great. I cry listening to her! She was so fantastic. Can’t think of anybody better!
Dusty springfield,I'm a blk American soul sist.i accepted you brits.soul sist.and petula clark,is a soul sist.too rest n peace soul sist.i miss you and.your fab.voices and you're music too
greatest female singer britain has ever produced
Dusty the best woman singer🇬🇧 or 🇺🇸 EVER,&I'm American!.
We used to go to Harlequeen record shop, Berwick street for our Motown imports, great times, Dusty so sadly missed xx
The best woman singer ever IMO.
She was such an original. A wonderful singer. I wish America had treated her better.
Agreed. I also wish she'd treated herself better.
America did not kidnap Dusty did they? I think all 'America' did was buy her records in droves.
I didn't know America was harsh to Dusty in anyway. I always loved her singing. Listen to her songs to this day.
@@doconnor1354 Yes, and if she was a diva, as they say in the video, that wouldn't endear her to people. Las Vegas was nothing to sneer at, career-wise - all the greats put on shows there and were paid princely sums. Many of the biggest artists from the UK settled in LA because of taxes. It is sad it didn't work out for her.
@@shombie2737 Makes me even sadder.
With her Memphis album there was no greater UK artist than Dusty. RIP Ms. Springfield you were truly special.
I'm watching the snow on my phone
I remember hearing this song plenty of times on KXOX, an AM station, in my mom's old 1954 Hudson Wasp.
This was an incredible biography of an amazing individual. Very absorbing!
Very enjoyable Darren. This should have 500k views by now. Wonderful memories.
Probably the greatest British female vocalist of all time. RIP Dusty.
As a child,I thought -because of the name and sound that Dusty was from the U.S.. Later I was a little surprised when I found out she was from England.
I wish they would do a movie about her. Would be so interesting.
Oh I think a biopic should be in the works NOW!
I thought Adele was tapped to portray Dusty in a movie. I heard this about two yrs ago, but nothing since....
They are. Gemma Atherton has been picked to portray her,

Get Cameron Diaz to play her..
Her soloist's carrier was simply amazing...dang,that woman was a perfect jazz singer too and she could sing pop and rock well too
What a talent. I loved her and I remember her well.
I love Windmills of your Mind so much.😂..I taught myself how to play the piano just to play that Beautiful Haunting Song👏
PS I loved this video and I had to wait way too long to see it. She's everything I dreamed she was, thanks again.
✨🌿September ‘64’ at the Brooklyn Fox Theatre , Murray The “K” s Shows were a real honor to attend as a young boy with the great diversity of entertainment presented. “Dusty” -was fabulous !!! 🌿✨🤣🥊
I was born in '53. Even now Dusty;s voice sends a shiver up my spine.
Better than Aretha Franklin or Etta James. An out standing voice
Going in my oldest sister crates of music, I saw numerous albums of Dusty. Fast forward, I see where Luther Vandross gets his Remakes from. Burt and Carol are great writers!!!
I am English but was at the time working in Ireland, travelling to a very important business meeting. i heard on the radio of Dusty''s death. cannot remember the radio station but it put on a full hour of Dusty music, I just parked and listened, missed the meeting and didn't give a f*ck
Much respect Dusty ........
AAAWWWWWWgees absolutely excellent. thank you for uploading this, darren. u r a gem.
Wow, just wow. Incredible ❤💙
Thank you Darren I had not seen this before, as I live in California.
Her talent was outstanding. I think she was extremely underrated.
So very heartbreaking, mainly because I have know so many similar people. One spectacular singer, and entertainer. I can cherish the memories
Greatest female singer. Ever!
I just finished reading Dusty's biography. This completes the picture of a grand lady. Thank you, Dusty.
Thank You
PS, so sorry I am still watching this, totally enthralled I know. 1 Hour 4 minutes 45 seconds. I had to come back again to say this I totally know how she feels I would often not put my contact lenses in or have my glasses on when I modeled because I was very shy. I know a lot of people when you tell them that they don't think you're shy they don't understand but I do, because I was in the same situation but with me I was modeling with her she could have done anything singing modeling whatever I just think she was awesome. Thank you for bringing this out I am having a wonderful time listening to this and I'm going to let you go and get back to it thank you again, love from Canada.❤🇨🇦
I love Dusty singing goin back always gets me in tears
great doc. Many thanks
Dusty had a very nice, distinctive voice
Wonderful and beautiful entertainer. She is gone much too soon.
Troubled lady so so sad ! However musical icon RIP 💗 seemed a genuinely nice person with incredible voice 👌
I so love her stuff as well as Lesley Gore
Dusty with a voice made in heaven
She sang from the heart a wonderful soul, just amazing very special lady that brought much joy to millions. And what a voice wow. She should have stayed in England or Europe America really did not help her. In the end it destroyed her. She was the best and how could she have doubt about herself?
I love her with the Pet Shop Boys
I didn't know she sang old those others great songs.
Viva Dusty Springfield.
Scandal background music with Pet Shop Boys was lovely.
What an artist!
I must admit to musing, is there another shy dusty out there? Dusty's voice was unique, and of course, there will only ever be one Dusty, but the talent is out there. She had a wondrous and lustrous voice that enraptured you, it embraced you, and you identified so closely, you had or were experiencing those same feelings. Her life was complex and she identified with that complexity. She is so sadly missed by myself and many others. I pray she rests in peace and finally found the happiness she so much sort in life.
THE VOICE, TRUE BEAUTY, STYLE, CLASS, CHARM, CHARISMA GREATEST FEMALE ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME & Oh that voice!!! There is no other singer like the beautiful Dusty. I absolutely love you Dusty. I grew up with her music and still have her LP's and play them often and think of her. Darling Dusty, Even though you have finished your earthly course, you have set the standard and left a lasting legacy for all aspiring female singers worldwide. Miss you heaps and wishin' you were here. 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤💕💖💖💕💖💕💞💖💞
