Dusty Springfield
Its 10 years today since she died. I'm quite surprised its kinda gone by without any mention, half expected a piece in one of the papers - a ten year anniversary tribute I guess.

I must say, I think her voice and her songs = the best popular female singer this country has produced.

She was simply brilliant. I remember crying when I heard the news (and I don't normally cry over people I've never met, I'm not that soppy!), a true talent that Britain has never been able to replace.

Dusty is my favorite female singer of all time. A track I am particularly fond of was "Going Back", beautiful, meaningful lyrics which she sang to perfection as she did with all her songs.
Her singing talant and the musical interpretation of that orchestra that accompanied her was a combination that makes her records a particular pleasure to listen too. Dusty, to me, was a legend. |

Since Dusty's death I can never hear 'Going back' without seeing the black horses drawing her coffin, as that's the song they relayed outside the church at her funeral service. (Think it was actually played as her coffin left the church for burial.)
![]() Dusty could do up-tempo with the best of them, but certainly her interpretation of songs such as 'Going back' and 'If you go away' is superb. If you go away - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyCVxPEPx5Y |

I'm going to admit that I don't care much for the 60's era of music, i'd even go as far to say that i hate it (
) but for some reason, regardless of that, I can sit and listen to Dusty sing for hours. A truly talanted lady to which nobody can be compared.

Some Of Your Lovin' is probably in my top 5 favourite songs of all time. Just, gorgeous.

Oh God I remember that day as it was my birthday and I loved Dusty...not the happiest of days.
I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten is one of my all time favourite songs. |

The day she died, I cried my eyes out all evening and went to bed miserable, with my OH trying to console me. Can't believe it's ten years ago. |

I could have written this - she's my favourite and 'Goin' Back' is also my favourite Dusty song - I can hardly bear to listen to it now.
The day she died, I cried my eyes out all evening and went to bed miserable, with my OH trying to console me. Can't believe it's ten years ago. Always remember and interview Neil of PSB said when they first met - Dusty had big hair, big purple leather trouser suit and big ciggie and when asked what to call her, she simply took a drag on ciggie, exhaled and said "call me Dusty" with a smirk and twinkle in her eye. Love it. |
