REMEMBERING DUSTY . . .


[281] It's been several weeks since you left us and it still makes me feel sad. To put it simply, you were the greatest female singer we have ever produced in this country. I'm not quite old enough to remember your sixties hits, but my father had all your records. Now I own some of these on CD, and even though I wasn't there I still know good music when I hear it . . . and yours was the very best, especially "Goin' Back" which was in the charts when I was born. God bless you Dusty. May you rest in peace. All our love . . .

[282] I would just like to say that I'm so saddened that just when I begin to learn more about the artist that has made the longest lasting impression on me, she is gone and I'm sitting here in tears. I just bought her Greatest Hits CD, and I've always loved the song "The Look of Love" and its haunting flavor. Ever since I was a young child this song has held a mysterious attraction for me. I never knew about her views on sexuality and so forth, but I don't care about that. In fact, I agree with everything she says. I think we are all lacking in our self identity, and the people we all seem to know the least is ourselves. Trying so hard to understand others. Dusty is in a better place now. I believe this with all my heart. God bless her soul. It's as if this mysterious attraction I have for her, this sadness I feel means that some people are in need of certain others. We click. I'm a fan of many musical tastes, but this is one special woman. Her music lured me in, and getting to know her through this website has assured me that I will be a lifetime, knowledgable fan of this dearly deoparted icon.

[283] I was deeply saddened by the untimely death of Dusty Springfield. I am 48-years old and have heard her music for years. She had a very great and versatile voice. I also am into the Pet Shop Boys big time. I loved her with them on "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" - terrific. Dusty will be missed. She certainly left her mark on the world of music. Just wanted to say I cared.

[284] What a great story! I admit I just looked your page up to see what Dusty looked like - I only know her as a beautiful voice that gets so much radio play. It seems she's been on the airwaves since I was a kid, and I guess she was. Much of the time I didn't really pay attention. Her music was too polished at times - that kind of Hollywood sound. But man, she was a talent. Her story was so interesting. And the pictures showed her changing as she aged - from "big hair" and lots of make-up, to a beautiful mature woman. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing all this.

[285] Thank you, Dusty, for being here as a voice and a person for the past three decades of my life. Your songs have enriched my life in a way no others have. I just hope that you now know how much you have meant to all of us who were priviledged enough to appreciate you when you were alive. Once again, a simple thank you is all I have to offer.
