I have been in love with Dusty all my life and still feel her when I attempt her songs. When I was 9 in '65 I started singing 'you dont have to say you love me'. I became a frustrated opera student. Her sound must be forever adored.
That voice. So much emotion in it, so much talent, style and perfect pitch ! So many of the music experts have said she was the best female singer to come out of England, and I agree. She was a perfectionist and it shows in her songs. Gone too soon.
There will always be a special place in my heart for Dusty. She was the most iconic singer of the 60s . She did so much for music she should be appreciated for ever. Oh to be young again and relive that precious time I had as a teenager.
She is so missed I am so jealous my Dad saw her live in the 60s I was born in 1974 I was born in the wrong decade I love 1960s music I wish I was in my teens or 20s in the 1960s. Dusty left us too soon I wish she was still alive.
I truly miss the 60's . The Music , the Vibe , the Innocence . They were also simple times . And we had Great Artists such as Dusty Springfield . Such beauty & Class . She to had her demons . But there will never be another . I miss her , the world miss's her . RIP Dusty .
Beautifully and faithfully representing the world that Dusty lived. An honest refection and tribute to this iconic superstar who cared and promoted others to fame, whilst still looking for 'herself' as well. Ahead of her time in treating all equally and unashamedly stood up against racism by example. I am glad she lived. John (Australia)
She was such a wonderful person and singer. It must have been very painful for her but i think she is at peace now and we'll love her and her music forever! Carry on Dusty, Carry on!
I knew a dancer who used to be in Dusty's troup in the mid 60s. She said that because she was the tallest of the dancers Dusty used to keep her back to teach her to dance. My friend said that Dusty was already a good dancer and that her role was to act as her partner, taking the lead, male role where necessary. Looking back, she wondered if this was the only way Dusty could have physical intimacy with a woman in those days. Nothing happened between them.
Thank you so much, Darren, for posting this captivating documentary! Dusty's exceptional career and life will always be an impressive and fascinating subject!🎶💖🎶
Hi Darren . thank you so much for this. It flashed up on my phone when i was on the tube - so i viewed it all the way home - and - then, again , when i got home !. Really, really, excellent and presents a very strong showing of how incredibly good, as a musician and performer, Dusty Springfield was. She was 'way to' taken for granted in the UK because none of us realised this at the time and then so badly missed her slot in America (although by then some significant vocal impairment had set in and that very evidently affected her confidence ). I think every body must feel indebted to you Darren for your time, effort and dedication to her memory: thank you very very much … n
For those of us who like such details, this programme was first broadcast on BBC television on 25th February 2003. It would be great if those kind enough to upload TV shows could put the date they debuted in their title or description. Many thanks for sharing Darren, it's an excellent documentary! XXX
So that was Dusty. I used to listen to her when I was a little girl without not knowing that it was her. Io Che Non Vivo Senza Te, Sanremo 1965. I should listen to great Italian music of 60s and 70s again.
This is quite good and it provides Peter Stringfellow's version as to the lack of success with Sometimes Like Butterflies. Like so many geniuses, Dusty wasn't very easy to work with and there was tragedy and torment. There were missed opportunities. I wish she had more time to record once she had success again but she left behind many great records even in the lean years in LA.
It was centuries before popular culture even recognised the existence of lesbians, never mind discriminated against them. They were under the radar until relatively, very recently. Gay men were recognised for a long time (and sadly persecuted), but gay women were not even a thing. So It's not surprising Dusty remained in the closet most of her life, and especially during her youthful hey day the 'sixties, which were still pretty blinkered times despite the permissive society. It's said Queen Victoria's advisers were dispatched to advise her about homosexuality. Women at that time were generally in the dark about sex (and barely knowledgeable about heterosexuality), but as she was such a powerful world leader, the decision was taken she should be a woman of the world and educated about the racier side of life. It's reported that while Her Majesty accepted the existence of gay men, she point blank refused to believe there was such a thing as gay women! Lesbians continued to be invisible for many years, only really being welcomed into everyday life and culture from the late 20th century.
that dress designer is cracked- I'm not seeing any heavy thighs on Dusty-- typical of that designer mindset tho, to judge everything wider than a toothpick as 'too big'-- great contributors to the anorexia disorder, along with the fashion press....
Adele doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the great Dusty Springfield! Dusty's voice was utterly magical, in my view no one comes close to matching it, or tops her version of any song she recorded. But with that amazing voice was a beautiful spirit and powerful charisma, which made her an incredibly special, incomparable package. Dusty was a total one-off who I believe will still be a legend, moving, inspiring and delighting people, may years after Adele and the like are mere footnotes in music history.

Am I the only one whom can never get enough of Dusty Springfield,

Nothing. 😊
You are fine
I fancied her like crazy, still do when I see her on vid, and her voice was an absolute turn on.
same
no, you are not ...and nothing is wrong with you!
There will never be another Dusty who could SING!
Such a beautiful woman inside and out❗♥️
So lovely to see my father Derek Wadsworth in this. Thanks for posting.

Absolutely brilliant Darren Carstairs!!! As a fellow Dusty Nut Thanks so.much!!! Tim Winters.

What a voice! Nobody sings like Dusty.
I saw Dusty on the steps of Dreamland in Margate back in the 60's and she smiled at me . Never forget that she was lovely !

Thank you Darren. Just reminds us what a great talent Dusty was and I know how we all miss her so much.

So unique color of the voice she has...precious singer
A rare diamond indeed Darren, thank you.
Ms. Dusty Springfield a truly talented lady.
Dusty version of going back written by carole king is so amazing

Wonderful!
Never EVER a bum note.. Every note was always pitch perfect.
Dusty was without question the greatest white Folk/Pop/Rock, R&B/Soul singer EVER!
Awesome lady
Once again Darren, Thank you so much for sharing this with us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Many thanks for sharing Darren, it's an excellent documentary! XXX
“What have I done to deserve this”, “Dusty in Memphis” is a classic.
Great blues singer!
Very soothing, thank you Darren for making my day compatible, stay safe and may God richly bless you xx
Yes, the best singer in the world - and go back to Island of dreams too.
darren the main man! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video today my Thanksgiving is complete.
Nice to see this again. This was a great series made for daytime TV - I saw a lot of them as I was a student at the time, around 2003-ish.
She was a very good singer...
Абсолютная звезда...❤🧡💛💚💙💜💯💯💯💥💥💥
Such a rich life...would be a fabulous biopic.
On Thanksgiving, thanks for this great video, Darren!! 🦃💕
The Queen of my heart!..💗
Fantastic video Darren💞💞👍👍
My forever Queen!..👑
Awesome Dusty!
How many of us had a crush on Dusty....male or female?
I loved her voice, I loved her image, I fancied her to bits, I miss her and always will.
@@HektorBandimar As do I.
She was the embodiment of charm and talent.
Dusty's appeal transcended sexuality - men and women alike found her irresistible.
Yes
So that was Dusty. I used to listen to her when I was a little girl without not knowing that it was her. Io Che Non Vivo Senza Te, Sanremo 1965. I should listen to great Italian music of 60s and 70s again.
I recently purchased 2 vinyl LP records and listen to her daily.
Thank you for this documentary Darren
I can't believe I haven't seen this before.
DUSTY is the BEST......
Dusty in Memphis came out in Jan 1969. Not "1970".
Such a talent💞
This is quite good and it provides Peter Stringfellow's version as to the lack of success with Sometimes Like Butterflies. Like so many geniuses, Dusty wasn't very easy to work with and there was tragedy and torment. There were missed opportunities. I wish she had more time to record once she had success again but she left behind many great records even in the lean years in LA.
People couldn't judge dusty for her sexually back in the 60s and 70s as well but her music tells a story when she performed
Classic case of Ugly duckling, turned into a Beautiful Swan indeed.
Documentary made 2 years in 2002 after her sad death in 1999.
She should've gone to Vegas, she could've made big bucks.
I love her image @ 10.15 & 15.45

Yes I was absolutely shocked by that comment he made, “She was cursed with heavy thighs”! What the hell?? I don’t think so!
I was just thinking the same thing, when they show her in the skirt dancing she does not have fat legs at all....WTF?
Same here
great documentary , love Dusty for ever. BTW, what is the song title at 46:20 ? thanks !
Where Is A Woman To Go. The Studio version is on Dusty's final Studio album A Very Fine Love.
who comes within a universe of her today??????? adele is ok but has only one dynamic to her voice....
Adele doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the great Dusty Springfield! Dusty's voice was utterly magical, in my view no one comes close to matching it, or tops her version of any song she recorded. But with that amazing voice was a beautiful spirit and powerful charisma, which made her an incredibly special, incomparable package.

Did she pass away in her home or at the hospital? She is so deeply missed ❤️
Believe simon bell who sang back took care of her her last year + said she passed away in her sleep assumed he meant at home .
Horrible subtitles. At 1:27 "slashed overs" = slashed her wrist!
Good bio but she wasn't a lesbian. She was bisexual. Many women are, now & historically. As a man, I can't blame them.
Does anyone know what video 52:03 is from?
Yeah but not sure which vid... do.you?
