- Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE, known professionally as Dusty Springfield, was an English singer. Springfield's solo career began in late 1963 with the upbeat pop record "I Only Want to Be with You" - a UK no. 4 hit, and the first of her six transatlantic Top 40 hits in the 1960s, along with "Stay Awhile" (1964), "All I See Is You" (1966), "I'll Try Anything" (1967) and the two releases now considered her signature songs: "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966 UK no. 1/US no. 4) and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1968/69 UK no. 9/US no. 10). The latter features on the 1968 pop and soul album Dusty in Memphis, one of Springfield's defining works. With her distinctive mezzo-soprano sound, she was a popular singer of blue-eyed soul, pop and dramatic ballads, with French chanson, country, and jazz also in her repertoire. During her 1960s peak, she ranked among the most successful British female performers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her image - marked by a peroxide blonde bouffant/beehive hairstyle, heavy makeup (thick black eyeliner and eye shadow) and evening gowns, as well as stylised, gestural performances - made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties.

I love dusty Springfield music ❤❤
My favorite is “Going Back”. It’s haunting. Anyone who is not moved by it is dead inside.
Hi Nathe It's a beautiful track. All the best, Alan

Very moving video, I am a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, diagnosed age 48, now 65!
Hello Marilyn, You won the jackpot with that. Well done! I'm so pleased for you Alan
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜💜💜🌸🌸🌸🌸
Dusty had one of the most beautiful voices ever and was a true talent. Forever missed.
What a singer she was my best ever singerxx sad lossxx
I grew up listening to Dusty. RIP 🥰💐🌻
Thank you that was beautiful I didn't know she was Irish and what a singer and powerful voice she was God bless her
I loved Dusty's voice. It was so unique and beautiful. RIP Dusty Springfield OBE.
Brilliant singer with a great voice 👏
She was so amazing her voice is powerful.
Dusty had an amazing voice , great insight into her life .
What a unique talent, her music will play on forever. RIP Dusty ❤️
Hello Kay, I know sometimes we miss them and It is quite a long time ago now Thank you for the comment Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep my mam loved her & got me into her music. Thanks for all the wonderful videos you share with us
Alan that's it for Tonight & Ladies, 😉
Im tired, God Bless, Andre, 😴😴😴
Met Dusty back in 90s..she was so lovely and chatty and down to earth..sad loss
She truly was an amazin singer it’s sad how sometime you have to cope with what life chucks at you and she certainly did I loved her music RIP Dusty ❤ you bought great joy to the music world ❤
She was gifted, talented, and determined, everything I had hoped to be, but never was. I suspect we shared some very dark places together, however, she managed to come out of them from time to time. RIP Dusty. “I just don’t know what to do with myself “.
you're not as sour as you sound, if you can consider the value of others
I remember Dusty and the Petshop Boys releasing What Have I done (to deserve this). I absolutely loved it and it was played regularly at the pubs and clubs I went to. I did hear most of her songs while growing up. Her music brings back happy memories. Dusty was taken too soon. RIP Dusty 🙏 ❤
@lisa Perrin I remember that one too. A fabulous song❤️
A world class singer, my then wife (only one). Used to wear her eye makeup just like Dusty. Fond memories of a truly wonderful voice.
One of the greatest performers ever, RIP Dusty ❤
To me (and so many others) she was 'the' female voice of the 60s and was always so OTT glamorous in the way only Dusty could carry off. Her incredible voice was also admired by many American soul singers and compared to Aretha Franklin. Brilliant singer and strong minded, beautiful lady.
I loved Dusty Springfield never get tired of hearing her music I’m from West Virginia USA ,May she Rest In Peace
I loved watching this one....I absolutely ADORE Dustys voice...I still listen to her there will never be another like her for me and I wish with all my heart she could have had a better life and was still with us...WHAT A TALENT ❤😪❤
Awe, Dusty Springfield, what a beautiful Talent. RIP Miss Springfield, never to be forgotten. Thank you for this one❤️. I’m married nearly 40 years and my hubby took me to Paris for a little honeymoon. He took me by surprise one day and walked me right over the city to Pere Lachaise Cemetery where an idol of mine was buried, Jim Morrison! Took me until I was 50 to get to my real heros grave at Gracelands. Always find cemeteries such peaceful places as my mammy always told me “the dead don’t hurt you, it’s the living that does that” ❤️❤️❤️
Hi TDN Well wonderful story! I' how lovly. ve seen Jim's grave on videos there's a queue. Usually it's so popular but if there's one that I could visit I would love to see gGacelands and Elvis ,did you know that he was buried elsewhere but they were going to rob the body so they decided it needed to be secure in the grounds of his house. Thank you. I'll watch out for you. Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Yes Alan I read that Elvis’s body is somewhere else. I know he was buried with his mum in another cemetery but it too was the subject of grave robbing I hope you get to go Alan, it’s worth the wait. At Jim’s grave there were so many people singing and talking, I met Chinese, American, French, a whole melting pot of people. I just love how music brings folk together. My husband took some great photos of me at the graveside but unfortunately I cut his head off every one I took of him. You imagine that for the last 40 years he has never let me forget it😂😂. ❤️
@@headron66 It's amazing it is still like that today so busy all these years later and I had to laugh from heading your husband 😂 I remember watching the chap who took a whole roll of film on his holiday of a lifetime only to see that every picture was a shot of his earlobe he was looking at the wrong end of the camera :-). Take care, Alan
I saw Dusty in concert in Drury Lane in London in 1978. She was absolutely brilliant. I still have the programme. It was one of the most magical nights of my life. The atmosphere was electric. The encores were endless as the crowd would not let her go. Thanks Alan for this excellent tribute. I loved this video 💕
Well, fancy that Joan. It's amazing Isn't that the connection we all share with these people? Although I didn't ever see her myself so I'm a little bit jealous. My gratitude is always for your comment. Thank you, Alan Joan Hug
Oh I wish I had gone 💕
Damn, I was just playing Dusty songs before I found this video. Such an awesome singer with so many great songs! Today's singers can't compare
or even come close to her. Most people know her many earlier hit songs, however, are you aware of these great Dusty songs? : 1) The Sweet Ride
2) The Corrupt Ones 3) Nothing Has Been Proved 4) Arrested By You (Great ballad!) 5) In Private 6) Reputation. Enjoy these songs if you've never
heard them before.
A number of people have done articles on Dusty's life but yours has to be a masterpiece. It sounds so hollow to just say thank you for bringing your skills to bere Your work is so respectful and circumvents things that just don't need highlighting, a heartfelt thanks. I wouldn't presume to speak for Dusty in that special place she is in but if she has heard you, I'm sure she would be as impressed as I and others have been. Thank you.
Hello Raymond, I'll say you factual when I read you're comments I got a shiver it was so kind of you to say that. When I did this video I was in two minds because Dusty's grave had already been done by other channels. But I enjoyed the documentaries on Dusty so much that I couldn't turn it away and everything I said was exactly what I felt. There was something about her beyond her voice that drew you to her and I felt sad she didn't find more happiness her friendships were very rewarding with all those that worked with her she was loved by many close to her. Great thanks to you Alan
Well said Raymond. Alan has done an excellent tribute to Dusty. I loved it.
No dusty no joss stone
Dusty didn't see how good she was.
Dusty was a gem to the music world..beautiful soul who had a tough time..she will live on within her music..wow what a voice..in God's hands now..his gain but the world's lost..
Amazing woman with an amazing voice, I believe one of the most visited graves in Great Britain. R.I.P. Dusty and great one Alan 👍❤️🙏
Thank you Derek. You're a good one. Take care of yourself. Alan
She was my favourite brilliant
I MISS HER AND I MISS HER BROTHER. I MISS JOHN FROM MERSEYBEATS. BOTH DID WISH AND HOPEN.

Proper treat to hear her sing.
Thanks for a super and sensitive commentary. I loved Dusty and I knew most of her songs. She still lives on in our hearts. Cheers from an Irish woman! 💚 💚 🍀 💚 🍀 💚
Hello Carmel, she was such a vulnerable woman but such a nice person. I felt so sorry for but she was as fabulous voice. Thank you for your comment
Thank you alan for your very warm tribute to dusty I remember all her songs very well your videos are always very knowledgeable and interesting kind regards kevin😊
I was a teenager in the 1960s and dust was my favourite singer she died on my birthday, thank you alan for finding dusty best wishes from sue and vic
Hello Sue and Vic, nice to see you and you're wonderful comment. Take care, Alan
Now we're talking, one of my all-time music heroines. I love her live concert at the Albert Hall ♥️
Hello Gary, if I could go back in time I'll be sat next to you watching Dusty in concert. Thank you for the great comment Alan
Hi Alan Again, I'm on the Night shift, Anyway, Another Brilliant Artist Brilliant voice & good looking.
" Ready steady Go"
Couldn' remember the show Regarding Alma Cogan, Anyway, Dusty Springfield, She made some good record's in her times
Sadly, Like Alma her career nose dived ,But she was lucky as you mentioned Pet shop boys saved her career,
I think Dusty had some fun on Ready steady Go, With the Beatles, aspesely with John Lennon,
Dusty Springfield had a bloody good send of i might say, & Deservingly so,
Anyway, Alan. DUSTY SPRINGFIELD, God Bless you Both,
Dusty, RIP.❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Andre for all that great information. Take care, Alan
Wow, ..such a humble grave for most probably the very best singer ever to come from Britain.
I so agree with you about much too humble a grave for the queen of blue eye soul! Wish someone could improve on it.
@@cyyoung9175 yes, she was even assigned to Tamla Motown records in the 1960's.. unheard of for a White English singer!
@@anythingoldmechanical Dusty was actually signed to Atlantic in the USA for a while. She was a massive Tamla Motown fan but it was Kiki Dee who signed to Motown and released a fabulous album entitled Great Expectations.
Really heartfelt to the soul how you told her story 💕 R.I.P. Dusty 🌹
Hello Melody, I love your name. I did feel it. I really enjoyed researching it and it's so nice for us all too. Remember and enjoy your music today. It recharges me to watch her and listen to her 💓Bye Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Thank you 😊 Take care 🍀
Very sad to learn she got so depressed. I loved her, especially I just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself. Quite a tragic life, yet she was so talented. So glad you uploaded this, I had no idea that she was buried here. For some reason I thought she was in the States. The first midi dress I wore was a copy of one she wore on stage. Lots of lovely memories. R.I.P. Dusty. and thanks Alan.
Hi Mary that's how I felt. But you often find when you dig behind the scenes.It's not as harmonious as it appears up front. Thank you for the beautiful comment. Alan
"Dusty in Memphis" One I never get tired of. RIP.
Luv this video, Dusty reminds me of my mum, my mum loved Dusty and her music,
Really enjoyed it,
Thank you🙏
You are such the perfect warm hearted person to present this story of dear Dusty. Your kind and understanding comments about dear Dusty are much appreciated. Her assistant and lifelong friend says she was not all tragedy or pathetic figure, and she didn't think of herself that way so when you think of Dusty just give her a big smi!e rather than tears ! She would like that dont you think? 😘😉😊
Cy absolutely! She would love what you said
Very well said she was a very caring person and everybody loved her without question that worked with her. She lived in difficult times And I think she found it difficult not to be totally honest in it professional profile. She had a lot of feelings that's why she could sing so well and I wanted it to be respectful and happy at the end. Thank you for the great comment. Alan
I still love Dusty to this day. She was my favourite female singer growing up in the sixties with many hit singles to her name. It's not often you can say that someone has given pleasure and enjoyment to your life for nearly 60 years but that's what Dusty has given me. Thankyou for such a respectful and emotional tribute. You can see it was heart-felt. A wonderful reaction to a truly great star of our times.
I sat on Dustys Bench at gravesite. Gone way.too soon.
I have her song here .They haven't proven anything. I find it relevant to today. Thanks so much for your wonderful tour.
Hello Steven, I'm glad you enjoyed the music and thank you for the comment. Regards, Alan
Big thank you Mr Beep Beep, this is a great one, Dusty has to be one of the greatest singers of our time but never truly got the recognition I feel she deserved. A sad life she lived but what a great voice she had. Thank you.
Hello Julie she was the X factor before it was invented. Thank you for the lovely coming. Alan
You're a very good storyteller Alan. It sounds like she did have her troubles. They didn't have medicine and compassionate care back then. She was certainly amazingly talented. RIP Dusty.
I’ve been listening to Dusty a lot recently, though I’ve never stopped listening to her.
Dusty was/is incredible.
Thank you for this.
Met her on a Dutch TV music show called Countdown in 1990, when I was working for the group The Chimes. Definitely a star, everyone gravitated toward her and had a short chat. Nice lady! Good job beep beep
I love the way that you convey your passion and genuine empathy for many of the celebrities that you focus on.
The way that you enlighten the viewers regarding the individual’s life story is brilliantly done!
Hi David, wonderfully kind of you but all I'm doing is reflecting them. I love autobiographies and when I do each film I watch the person to the point where if I don't feel know them I can't be involved.. so so kind from your observation, A big thank you for your kindness. Equally important. Alan
With two older sisters and my mom. I was blessed to have aquired a fondness for Dusty's Musical artistry. And I would like to thank you Sir for revealing a an unknown fact. That I connect with. I for a short time in early 60's lived in High Wycombe while my dad was stationed in England. Appreciate you 👍
Hello Danielle, I'm going to give you such great memories. Look after yourself. Alan
A touching video thank you Alan I loved dusty Springfield and her songs ❤️
Hello Elaine and equally, thank you for the lovely comment. Alan

She was simply amazing, thank you 🙏
❤❤❤Dusty ❤❤❤ great tribute to an absolutely amazing legend
Dusty Springfield unique singer. She was in control of her recordings.Miss her.
Great video. I'm 54, discovered her about 15 years ago and started playing her music around the house and my 8 year old son lived her too and would sing along.
Fantastic!
This is a fantastic tribute video. I learned a lot more about Dusty. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you so much for a well researched topic.
Hi Michael 😊 best Alan
Dusty, Diana Ross, Judith Durham and Joan Baez my favourite 60 's girls.
Thank you for having this video! 💖 Greetings from S'pore! I love her songs ... RIP Dusty 🌹
My all time fave female singer from the 60,s
Had the pleasure of meeting her in the early 1960 s (Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien)
Probably one of the first singers that I took notice off when I was a child....
My sisters father in law was trying to get home through Henley on the day of her funeral... The town was jam packed...
Another great one Alan. Many many thanks, Dusty was superb 💗🥰🤩🤩xxxx

Great show enjoyed it thanks 😊BRIAN Upton 👌
I heard the when she first went to the USA they were expecting a black lady because of her beautiful soulful voice, and were totally shocked when they actually saw her, she was definitely a one off, Petula Clarke once said in an interview that Dusty was the best of them all 😊
Beautiful dedication. I didn’t realise Dusty had passed so young 😢. X

Great stuff keep it up 👌

Hi pal, thanks again for all do. My wife mother was in the same class at school in Ealing with Dusty. 👍
Hello Colin, super bad, love to know what she remembers of Dusty. Of course at the time she'd just be another school girl going out and getting dusty with the boys but fantastic little story. Thank you, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Thanks Alan, really enjoy all your video’s absolutely first class. Like you I work in media I started with BBC as a rigger (rigging cables) for all events all over the country, then I managed to do one job myself with Sky Sports News at. Crystal Palace football ground then I ended supplying them with free lance rigger and it took off then Sky Soccer Sat ask for me to supply them with riggers as well, its a long story I ended up supplying Cameras and all the equipment for them and riggers so I did the same for Sky Sports News and Soccer/am as well it was all live work, I meet Roger Moore at Muhammad Ali Birthday bash in the dorchester Hotel London another long story as most of them are as you’ll probably know. I have several properties I rent out so I look after them and I’am finished with broadcasting, I started in 1995 . PS did you go to the camping and caravan show in the NEC just gone, I went as I would love to have a van like yours and go round Europe but my Mary say not, keep going Alan your doing brilliant 🙃😀👍👍👍
