Many artists had the same problem as Dusty when it comes to getting the public to listen to their new music, as they all want the classics. Prince once said, the fans just want him to play the old classics and was not interested in the new stuff. When Bowie said he was not performing anymore of the old hits, his fans went mad and so he had to change his mind. Dusty was definitely the best female singer from the UK, that's for sure.

For a time I feared recognizing dusty to be labeled gay. Culture's are terrible on such matters. So, over and over I realized how awesome she is. Now I don't care what foolish people think. I love Dusty!
So wonderful to hear Dusty speaking throughout. Favorite bit was her talking about Carole King and what transpired between them for "Going Back." Dusty referenced Dionne Warwick but at the time, Dionne probably just really felt threatened by Dusty (who she viewed as a competitor for the Bacharach songs). It is clear that Bacharach and David wrote the majority of their songs for Dionne. Dusty always loved Dionne's voice. In later years, Dionne would praise Dusty's voice as well. Glad Dusty heard that praise.
Thank you Darren for posting. I was so taken in and found this quite emotional and brilliant. Brought my heart ❤ and soul to the front of how much I loved Dusty. Cheers, smiles and sadness throughout. Oh Dusty you were the best.
I was lucky to meet Dusty, and sing with her just one time. One of my few regrets in life is that I allowed other people to come between us. With some sixth sense she had, she recognized me as a kindred spirit the moment we met, and I've always felt that I let her down by not powering thru the music biz bullshit that was thrown in my way to keep me away from her. She died much too young, and give a bit more time, I might have come to my senses.
@@cyyoung9175 First time I met her, I walked into her dressing room for an after gig gathering at the Albert Hall. As I walked in, Dusty took one look at me, and with a big smile on her face said "Who the fuck are you?" Straight up, no word of a lie. Modesty aside, I did look pretty good back then, at least she thought so. Naturally I smiled back, walked over and struck up a conversation. I was even more impressed with her in person than on her records...not surprising really. If you listen to 'Fascination' on my mickleesongs channel, I think you'll understand why our voices blended so well together. th-cam.com/video/Cizua7tr4U8/w-d-xo.html
@@mickleesongs thanks so much rah '79 was my fav. concert loved her hairdo ,presentation ,voice and the fun she had with video camera guy. She seemed in great form. So lucky to have it all on tape for our endless pleasure. What else can you remember from your "evening with Dusty". Envious me.
@@cyyoung9175 I remember getting cut out as she was leaving by some 'friends' of hers, songwriters who didn't want any other writer getting close to her. But I saw her one more time not long after, by chance, at a friend's house party. Lotta jammin' that night. Dusty remembered me and we sang some together, talked about getting together, but it was just before she hooked up with the Pet Shop Boys, when she got very popular and busy again. Too bad I didn't meet her a year or two earlier, but hey, them's the breaks. I have my memories of her to keep me warm, at least. :)
Not an underrated singer (,luckyli)but almost forgotten in my country Versatile singing voice,,,photomodel body And espressive and particular face rip gorgeous looking and talented red haired lady
She was really pretty when she was 20 years old with her natural red and long hair,and her beauty became remarkable when she was 25 years old. ..about her talent,she was born with a powerful,espressive and sultry voice...she would had worked as actress too with that voice
On the 2nd of March 2009 there was a radio programme on to commemorate ten years since Dusty's death, and it's what got me interested in her music. Do you happen to have a copy of it?
Now the way to get a copy of this is to simply go on to a website called listen to TH-cam.com or clip Converter then simply copy and paste the link and then you can download it
Can't believe Wickham lumping in Nina Simone along side of the likes of Dusty, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, and Aretha as one of the greatest singers ever. Nina Simone isn't in the same category. The woman half the time sang out of key. Talk about over rated. Wickham right when she said Dusty's voice was brilliant. Dusty sang in various styles and genres as evidenced here.
Just couldn't let this go without comment and while Aretha comes close you're one hundred percent wrong. Dusty wouldn't argue with that- being who she is,but I guarantee Aretha would.
It is merit also of bacarach and of many songs's writer if she became famous...Bernardette mary o",brien could become first european white singer of motown
Ana Irene Martinez and you felt you just had to get that negative comment in, did you? None of us in this world are perfect, and many are drawn into a quagmire that they never expected. Dusty freely admitted her life had gone off the rails, in Los Angeles you’ll find more encouragement to do that than in any other city in the US. Dusty gave us the impression she was a fairly strong woman, that I’m afraid was an act for her fans. She was in fact a vulnerable soul often like the little girl lost. America, where her heart lay with her love of soul and black music in general, should have been the making of her, unfortunately she took the wrong path and her life spiralled out of control. It’s the easiest thing in the world to find yourself broke when you’re surrounded by hangers-on. She wasn’t working but accommodation and day to day living will soon eat up your assets in LALA land. To suggest she was broke though spending her money on drink and drugs is a nonsense, they certainly were a factor but not the impression you’ve chosen to submit. She bravely told her experiences warts and all and admire her for opening up to her fans and leaving them with no illusions and I commend her for that. Your attempt to denigrate her memory was rather churlish and totally uncalled for. SAD🥺
@@coolvoice7 I said SAD and re afirm: SAD. SAD for Dusty. SAD for Judy. SAD for Whitney. SAD for Amy. Your long diatribe does nothing for people taking coke because of some life realities they can't cope with, and certainly did nothing for my convictions against drugs. You atempt to glorify and justify drug addiction did not work with me. Negative? I see, to tell the truth is negative.
Ana Irene Martinez like yourself I’m totally against drugs and would never excuse or glorify them in any way. If that’s the impression you got then let me set the record straight. Although you may not have had the intention of being negative, it came across that way to me. The other stars you mentioned were also led down the wrong road and make no mistake, they were led by unscrupulous assholes who could manipulate them when they were off their faces on drugs. It’s too easy to say “they could just say no” things are never that cut and dried. We all have vulnerabilities and some have much less strength and willpower to fully control their weaknesses. If I offended you I apologise unreservedly. We are obviously big fans of Dusty and as such should be falling out👍👍
@@coolvoice7 well done fans, we saw the warts but still must admire the pure talent. I wonder what her biography would have been like if she had written it herself as an autobiography. Just fun to imagine what was really important enough to her to include in it.. I believe some of her stories and memories she would have included may have surprised us Sadly we shall never know.
@@cyyoung9175 there’s a biopic of her life being made but I dare say it’s been shelved because of Covid. I do hope they tell her whole life’s truths and try not to glamorise it too much. I’d be happy to see them start with her late childhood using a younger actress then take it from there to the height of her fame, her lonely years in the USA and her comeback that was cut so short with the cancer. She’d had it before and had gone through the horrors of chemo and radiotherapy. She got the all clear only for this bastard of a disease to return and take her life. I’m hoping it’s not too long till it’s released and one thing I’m praying for is whoever plays her lip syncs her songs, no one I can think of can replicate that voice👍
Thank you for another great documentary Darren a fantastic tribute to Dusty just after her passing.
Thank you for this wonderful share. ✨
Wow what a beautiful voice. I never get tired of listening to her.
Neither me
she truly was ONE OF A KIND!!!!!
Ditto
Beautiful person with a beautiful heart!!!! What a lovely voice. Dusty, YOU are MISSED!!! Love you to the moon and back!!! Great singer ever!!!

A beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Their will never be another Dusty,loved to bits RIP.
I fell in love in 1969 with this Lady, and I am still in love, a kid from Bristol Pa. BB
Simply the Best so sad that the most played track on the radio station is mostly the son of a preacher man ! Hope they are listening. Jean .
Amazing Dusty!
Ahead of her time - and a voice for the ages. Quietly obsessing over Ms. Dusty. Thanks for posting.
One of a kind and one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. We miss you Dusty.
The greatest.
There's nothing I don't love about Dusty..Wish she was still here.❤
Damned cancer
Goddess of music. Nobody could ever take her place. RIP Dusty. And thank you for sharing your Genius w us.
Only One Dusty How Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
And that she refused to play to segregated audiences in 1964, absolutely incredible. She was so far ahead of her time in lots of ways
Class. Talent.....
Dusty was greatness!
So she had soul. Her voice was wonderful. I missed her when I went to Cleveland hall of fame
She died too early
Brilliant singer and excellent documentary.

Dionne Warwick was a jealous, bitter & twisted bitch. She wasn't in Dusty's league.
@@kyawkyawwin1 good grief, my friend, did you know Dionne?
They are two of my fav singers

Thanks Darren - great job as usual.
une très belle voix et une belle prestance qui rappelle pleins de souvenirs de jeunesse elle manque beaucoup a la musique .......de France
Lovely tribute I hadn't heard before. Thanks for sharing it Darren.
Thanks for posting this! I'm reading her biography and it'll be great hearing this!
Lovely voice, hi Darren,hope you're doing well,stay blessed
the best pop si ger ever.....listen to her italian renditions...............control and emotion

Thanks darren
She is at peace now.

Incredible
She was really pretty when she was 20 years old with her natural red and long hair,and her beauty became remarkable when she was 25 years old.
..about her talent,she was born with a powerful,espressive and sultry voice...she would had worked as actress too with that voice
The look of love I knew from Diana Dial didn't know Dusty original
THAT VOICE .
I ❤️ Dusty! She had an awesome voice. I’m a late bloomer to her but better late than never!
An irish-british treasure
Love her music and so sad wot happened so sad those days were the best
She had it all looks voice
Sure

Rip her brother too
A musical genius too.
Both talented
Audio only. With still photos.
Por qué no ponen las bío para para poder subtitularlas al castellano?!
Her upper register in Preacher is A OK
Dusty. Karen Carpenter. Streisand. Her voice was that unique.
The one and only white Motown singer,
You could tell the truth re: misleading folks to think they will see a live performance. Just be honest and say audio only. That’s honest.
If they scroll down they can see ''Radio documentary.'' Which describes the title.
It's radio. Duh.
Just couldn't let this go without comment and while Aretha comes close you're one hundred percent wrong. Dusty wouldn't argue with that- being who she is,but I guarantee Aretha would.
Still are fine, but no film at all?
It is merit also of bacarach and of many songs's writer if she became famous...Bernardette mary o",brien could become first european white singer of motown
2023.
Many forget she wasn't only a good pop son
👋👋👋👋👋👋
Truly peerless. PS: Seven little girls wasn't a novelty hit; it wasn't a hit at all.
Why rubbish? When you are in love that is how you feel
Does anyone else think her Biographer, Lucy O'brien sounds like Paula Yates?
Showbusiness is much better than jungle and perhaps she was not happy in that world..but i'e never met her
...i.guess
Nina Simone reference !
Indeed, Aretha then Dusty.
Chameleon
Sad, she PISSED her money on drugs and drinks.
