Dusty Springfield...

Yes before you all start I know the programme is terrible but fun! Dusty is amazing on this and just like her !! I want her to win or Robbie as no-one in America knows who he is lol ! Frank is too obvious for moi!

Right, I'm a sad old git ................. but the last time I saw Dusty on TV, she was in full "singing panda" mode, in black and white, 405 lines and introduced Bobbie Gentry to a British audience.

Have I missed something (apart from 40 years of broadcasting)

I used to spend hours watching her voice

wtf - she died of cancer a few years back.

Well you got your wish Manimad as Dusty won,my mum loves her too,the real one and the tribute act so she'll be chuffed to.
Dusty will be on in Vegas when we go in May,don't think we'll be going seeing her though,I wanted Cher to win.
We were also supporting Robbie as my mum used to work with his mum and he's from my birth town.

For what its worth, I met Dusty Springfield, summer of '72 (I think) - in Rome walking around the Vatican (she was a devout Catholic - me devout coward). Anyway girlfriend at the time needed " a break" and by the time she came back I was in her words, (and she wasn't amused) "giving it the full chat". I'll admit I was and still am a fan, but she took the time to stop and natter for about 20 minutes - made my holiday.

OMG! That is amazing Stoupadook!! Glad she won!! My partner James was supporting Cher.. thought she was good but lost it the past few weeks. So glad Dusty won! lol!

We were out last night so missed the final,pleased Dusty won though

Here is the real deal.

Not one of her hits, and a much covered song but I do like this version - showcases her voice

ooh will check that out tonight - thanks!

That was a nice find S.D. She still manages to send a thrill down my spine. They don't make them like her any more.

That was great, Stoupaduck. Didn't know she'd done that one.
