Guest Paul Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Dusty really was the greatest British soul singer.
Guest MBarrett Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Dusty as mod icon. If you were a teenager in the mid-sixties it didn't get much better than a combination of Ready Steady Go and Dusty Springfield. (IMHO) At 1.07 there is Ringo dancing (very badly) with that other great modette Cathy McGowan. Now how could that happen today??!! We really did feel that we owned a piece of these artists. Like they were our big brothers and sisters but we just didn't live in the same house . . . . . !! Edited April 12, 2009 by MBarrett

Guest MBarrett Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Here is Patti Labelle's tribute when Dusty was inducted posthumously into the U.K. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a stunning performance. Dusty would have been looking down with a great big smile on her face . . . . . . "> Edited April 12, 2009 by MBarrett

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hardly a day goes by when I don't play at least one Dusty Springfield record. I have SO many favourites, but "Your Hurtin' Kinda Love" really IS one of the best British soul singles of all time.

Sean Hampsey Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Always been "Hurting Kinda Love" and "Some Of Your Loving" for me! Sean
Guest posstot Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Go ahead on , is the one for me....her most authentic sounding soul record, to my ears at least. I remember her on a dessert island disc or talent show..where she was on the panel...where she mentioned the Orlons as one of her favourite groups.....
Gene-r Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Love just about everything Dusty ever recorded, but top of my list has to be her version of "Wishin' & Hopin'" and also "Little By Little". Edited April 14, 2009 by Gene-R
Larry Semmins Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Bit late with this but I like her version of Walters "Welcome Home"
