Let's Talk Dusty!

by **daydreamer** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:34 pm

A place for those song sightings or other moments that stop you in your Dusty tracks.

I just heard Stuart Maconie on R2 say that on his prog next Sat (3.00), he'll be featuring Dusty in the run up to the Hall of Fame event. Today he featured Brian Wilson, another inductee.

Well a few days ago, I was doing some shopping at the grocery store after work and 'I Only Want to Be With You' came on! Heard it from start to finish, and mimed along to some parts [:I]

. Then, just an hour or so ago, I was back in the same store to pick up something and 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me' came on!! [:o]

I'll have to find out who they get their music from!

by **allherfaces** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 1:26 pm

Yesterday I was watching Jeopardy and they had a category about two artists covering the same song. They said Elvis covered it and asked who was the original singer of YDHTSYLM. Not one of the three contestants knew the answer [:o]

I can't believe this either she had a no. 1 what is wrong with them, [:o]

all I see is you.

It annoys me when I am at the supermarket and they have the modern trash blaring out throughout the store. More than once I have threatened to walk out because it is driving me mad, but was presently surprised the other day when I heard the familiar sound of You Don't Have To Say You Love Me. A big improvement.

by **MissDustyFanatic** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 8:27 pm

Okay....I don't know what channel it is on Muzak, but most of the last few weeks, it's been tuned to the same one at the restaurant I work at. A week or so ago, it was 'Look of Love' and 'Son-of-a Preacher Man', and last night it was 'Something In Your Eyes'!

by **DustysBoy** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 12:17 am

Working at the restaurant today......managed to hear SOAPM twice!......and What Have I Done To Deserve This also played...

by **MissDustyFanatic** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 4:54 am

Nice, Joshy! Same restaurant again tonight and I heard 'If It Hadn't Been For You'.

by **paula** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 4:12 am

last weekend..WHIDTDT on the radio while driving along enjoying a scenic ocean view :dig:

On 'SOTS' right now, Brian Matthew is playing 'I wanna make you happy' from Dusty's greatest ep - 'Dusty in New York' [:D]

Brian

by **humboldt** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 9:55 am

I adore that song Brian. :yes:

by **daydreamer** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:32 am

I missed SOTS this morning but just caught it on Listen Again. I knew it wouldn't be long before Dusty was on the EP feature, hopefully she'll get another slot with "Dusty" and "I Wish I'd Never Loved You"! I feel a request coming on [:)]

Did anyone else think the Lovettes and "Little Miss Soul" was great, and very Dusty in New York-ish?

by **Corinna** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:53 am

It seems in Sweden all Dusty moments we get are 'once removed'. I watched a sports prize ceremony the other night (don't ask me why, guess I was too tired to switch if off) when Magnus Carlson sang 'Yesterday when I was young', the same song he performed a year ago at the tribute concert "An evening with Dusty Springfield".

by **MissDustyFanatic** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 4:39 am

Heard 'If It Hadn't Been For You' AGAIN tonight. YAY!

by **daydreamer** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:44 pm

Not actually a Dusty musical moment but I was just watching Emmerdale and Doug asked Diane if she'd like to go with him to see a Dusty Springfield tribute act! I love how for years they've carried on with storyline that Diane is a Dusty fan [:D]

I hope they go and I hope we see it!

by **daydreamer** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:45 pm

The second episode tonight had even more Dusty talk in it. Diane reckoned if she screwed up her eyes and maybe her ears, she could try and imagine it was "the great lady herself". She also said that a little bit of Dusty Springfield was just what the doctor ordered. Can't argue with that :yes:

I love it when Dusty slips into the soaps.

by **Corinna** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:52 pm

Just what the doctor ordered, indeed! :thumbsup:

by **karen** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:53 pm

Like you said Carole it's great when she is mentioned in these programmes ,even better when they play her songs. [:)]

Karen.

by **jeffery** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:45 pm

I don't even get into american soaps, but I can dig it ! :dig:

by **trek007** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:16 am

i hope as you say Carole we get to see and hear abit too!

They are bound to have a conversation about the show anyhow...so that could be tonight.

by **mockingbird** » Sat Feb 06, 2010 12:34 am

Hi. Have just crawled out from under my stone...briefly! Perhaps "Diane" should be invited to Dusty Day...she could do a "turn" with some numbers from the Dusty Tribute concert!

Moira

by **trek007** » Sat Feb 06, 2010 11:22 pm

Turns out it was a drag act..but they enjoyed it and came home singing !

by **SteveQ** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 1:30 pm

I remember another soap moment in Coronation Street from last year ,I think. Sean, the wonderful and hilarious gay character was given a Dusty CD for his birthay, and started to sing 'You don't have to say you love me. Great stuff.
I had some wonderful dusty moments last thursday afternoon at work. I was doing some tedious stuff when a friend told me about DEEZER, a French on-line juke box service. I know about Spotify ,but that has been brred at work. they obviously don't know about DEEZER. So I Googled it and put my headphones on.
I typed in Dusty Springfield (well, what else?) and noticed tracks from her 1974 album,Cameo. No doubt many of you know this album, but it is all brand new to me. It is definitely one of life’s great pleasures to find new music that you really like, and discovering new Dusty tracks, is just the best. I didn't get to hear all of it, but what I did listen to was really good. I still managed to get my job done,as well.
Love SteveQ x

by **jeffery** » Wed Feb 10, 2010 9:58 pm

SteveQ , I've got 2 copies of Cameo on vinyl. I wish I had the techno savvy to share it with you. :yes:

by **MissDustyFanatic** » Thu Feb 11, 2010 4:44 am

Just a few nights ago hear 'Brand New Me' on the radio at work.

by **ErgoFergo** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:44 pm

There was a feature on the One Show tonight on 1960s houses and they played the beginning of All Cried Out.

by **daydreamer** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 12:00 pm

Terry's back [:D]

And with him came Dusty, he just played IOWTBWY :yes:

by **Cas19** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:43 pm

Two Dusty moments. Last night on 'What Katie Did Next' they played Dustys version of 'Look Of Love' then in Wilkinsons today as I was wandering around they played , 'Nothing Has Been Proved.'

Casx

by **Brian** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 10:02 am

'Look of love' played on Steve Wright's 'Sunday love songs' this morning at 9.55.
For once, he didn't talk over it!

Brian

by **Corinna** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 10:10 am

Watched the re-run of Jane Tennison, second but last episode. Again, she danced to Stay Awhile. [:)]

by **allherfaces** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:32 pm

Prime Suspect is such a brilliant series, and Dusty's music as part of the plot is just the icing on the cake. (Sorry I have Cas's sponge rolls on the mind. :oops:

)

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:22 pm

steve wright just palyed IOWTBWY on radio 2. [:)]

by **Brian** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 10:04 am

'I wish I'd never loved you' on SOTS this morning at 9.50. Not one you hear often.

This was followed by an absolutely dreadful out of tune record by The Incredible String Band, which must go down as one of the worst records ever played on the show!

Brian

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 1:18 pm

I heard our girl too Brian ,we always have to wait til the end it seems to hear her, but it was worth the wait. I agree that its so good to hear something different I wish it would happen on the other shows instead of the same few singles they seem to always play.
I love this song too.

by **Brian** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 7:53 pm

WHIDTDT - being played by Alan Carr on his Radio 2 show right now - it sounds FAB at full volume! :lol:

Brian

by **Corinna** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:35 pm

Watched the last episode of the re-run of Prime Suspect yesterday night. I had forgotten that a little bit of 'In the middle of nowhere' was played there, probably because it was right in the middle of the showdown!

by **Brian** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 10:31 am

Another play for 'Goin' back' on SOTS this morning [:D]

Interesting for me as it was a request by Derek Harvey of Oxford - someone I know, who used to buy all his records from the shop I worked in. We were both in a music quiz once - and I beat him! :bravo:

Brian

by **Brian** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 6:21 pm

Another 'Dusty moment' tonight on BBC's 'Antiques Roadtrip'. The 'team' were visiting Henley-on-Thames, and the presenter said -'Ah Henley, home to George Harrison and home and final resting place to the late, great Dusty Springfield' [:D]

Dusty is still here..in the memories of many.

Brian

by **karen** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 6:33 pm

Lovely to hear this wasn't it Brian. :pensive:

Right now Alan Carr on Radio 2 is playing '24 hours from Tulsa' by Dusty [:D]

Brian

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:10 am

little by little, played this morning on radio 2. :thumbsup:

by **lsparks18** » Sat Apr 10, 2010 12:31 pm

Dusty made Dear Abby column this week. Someone wrote in about providing for animals after one is gone and quoted Dusty's imported cat food, nightgown and record routine for Nicholas. They got it wrong however and said she had provided this for her dog! In any case, good to see Dusty's name in print in daily paper.

This week Dale Winton is 'sitting in' for Steve Wright in the afternoon on Radio 2 :thumbsup:

A much better show - helped no end by Dale playing 'In private' as his second record this afternoon [:D]

Seems Paul Weller was influenced by Dusty's music , mentioned her in an interview today , he is on Jools Holland show tonight.

Dusty again on Radio 2 [:D]

Tonight, just after 9pm Stuart Maconi played 'In the middle of nowhere' :dig:

Really? Wow. I noticed he was on the front cover of Mojo this month. I might have to steal my dad's copy to see if he mentions her.

by **Brian** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 3:35 pm

Dale has done it again !
For the third time this week he's included a Dusty record on his show :bravo:

This time (today) it was 'Am I the same girl', and he commented -"The great Dusty who would have been 71 today - great record"
I must say this week in the afternoon Dale has presented a much better programme than Steve 'I love myself' Wright...and he hasn't sung over any of them!

Brian.

by **daydreamer** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 4:25 pm

Fourth time! He played Brand New Me yesterday according to the show playlist [:D]

I wish they'd give Dale the show, he is so much better than egomaniac Wright. I can't stand him.

by **Corinna** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 8:10 pm

They sang Son of a preacher man on a music game show on Swedish Television tonight! :thumbsup:

by **Brian** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 7:58 am

Brian Matthew didn't let us down :thumbsup:

At 8.54 on SOTS he played 'That's how heartaches are made' (for 'Liz in Cardiff' :bravo:

) , and everyone attending DD tomorrow, and mentioned it would have been Dusty's 71st on Friday
:rose:

Brian

by **neonouille** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 4:59 pm

I've heard Son of a Preacher Man at the french show ''Tout à côté (côté maison)''.
I don't know why Son of a Preacher Man in a program of renovation, but it's always good to listen Dusty! [ear]

by **pandy063** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 7:58 pm

I am truly embarassed for them!! [:o]

I have to say in regards to the Elvis version - I did not care for his at all, but back to the Jeopardy! show - I didn't see it and wonder how old the contestants were? Doesn't matter I guess but would be nice if just one contestant knew the answer.

Correct Trevor !

by **Corinna** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:31 am

Watched the last programme in the series London Live here in Sweden. PSB were interviewed and asked to sum up with one word some of their collaborations. The first was of course Dusty, and Neil said "fantastic". (Whatever happened to "sublime", "beyond compare" etc? [;)]

)

by **thc@c** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 5:32 pm

Chris Evans (whom I thought I liked!!) played In The Middle Of Nowhere this morning and then proceeded to talk practically all the way through it - grrr!

Henry

by **daydreamer** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 5:49 pm

I heard that too Tom! And after he'd done that, I noticed how often he did it to other tracks too. These presenters who think their voices are more important than the music they play get right up my nose :no:

by **allherfaces** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:26 pm

When I arrived last Wednesday at the flat we had rented, the property manager (Lizzie) came by, and I pointed to 'traveling Dusty' and said 'that's why we're all here' and proceeded to tell her about Dusty Day etc. She related how some years ago (when Dusty was living in Holland with her cats) she met Dusty. Guess Dusty was over in London doing some shopping and Lizzie and her sister happened to be in the stall next door to Dusty's at Harvey Nic's trying on some frocks too! They recognized her voice before they saw her and then got to chat with Dusty who they described as shy but very nice, once she realized they weren't going to harass her in any way.

So, it just felt as if we had chosen just the right place, and maybe we will go back there next year, too, if the fates allow.

by **ErgoFergo** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:49 pm

WOW! Imagine trying a frock on and hearing Dusty in the cubicle next door!

by **Corinna** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 7:37 pm

I'd make a total fool of myself, I'm sure.... :shock:

by **jeffery** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 8:42 pm

I'd try on anything if I thought Dusty was in the cube next to me. :lol:

by **daydreamer** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 6:54 am

Nice story Nancy [:D]

I love it when I get a Dusty story from an unexpected source. I used to imagine things like than happening to me all the time back in the sixties The wishful thinking of an adolescent [:)]

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:38 am

yes me too!! :love:

I would have been a wreck waiting for her to ask me what I thought of it on her, now what would be my answer [;)]

by **allherfaces** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 11:49 am

I've written to Lizzie to be sure I got the story straight and to see if there's anything else she can remember. [:)]

by **Brian** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 7:48 am

Dusty TWICE on Radio 2 within an hour
Saturday 24th April - 7.45 Zoe Ball played ICMEACTT
- 8.45 Brian Matthew plays 'I'll try anything'
[:D]

Brian

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:18 am

yes I heard them Brian :love:

and I was thinking how good Brian was playing her again :star:

and that this time last week I was getting ready to drive to Ealing for that fab weekend. :yes:

still suffering severe withdrawal symptoms from it all. so it was great to hear her this morning :yes:

by **trek007** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 11:02 am

I heard them both too!! The good thing about Brian Matthews is that he doesn't talk over the tracks.

I was painting the conservatory wall when I'll Try Anything came on...high up on a step ladder [:o]

Its amazing how time flies..it doesn't seem a week since I heard Liz's name mentioned on SOTS driving down to London.

by **Brian** » Mon May 03, 2010 6:35 am

Graham Norton (that rarely seen/heard 'personality'! [}:)]

) is sitting in for Chris Evans on the Radio 2 breakfast show - for 2 weeks [:D]

. At least we can tune in for 2 weeks...especially if today's programme is anything to go by!....for he started with IOWTBWY calling it 'a great British record' [:D]

Brian

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Mon May 03, 2010 7:45 am

yes its a real treat to have the radio on again in the morning before Ken as I find it so strange not having it on after years of Terry. :thumbsup:

why the BBC didnt put someone like Graham on this spot in the first place is beyond me, much better audience too I would think and a better cost for us the licence fee payers than the bloated salary of the awful Chris Evans. :no:

to start with Dusty ,well he cant go wrong now can he?? :bravo:

by **Brian** » Mon May 03, 2010 8:54 pm

IOWTBWY again on Radio 2 tonight (Mark Radcliffe). TWICE in one day [:D]

I always look forward to the comments - 'Dusty from November 63 when she was still in The Springfields'!!
'A brilliant record - there have been a couple of cover versions, but we will forget them - perfection in a pop record' [:D]

Brian

by **Chris66** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:24 pm

Listening to RADIO 2 this afternoon - in between the music - it was all election talk - the on comes Dusty with
YDHTSYLM . Ex Labour leader Neil Kinnock said laughing "what a record to play in the circumstances"

Chris

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Fri May 07, 2010 3:00 pm

I heard this too and the odious Neil Kinnock tainted it a bit :oops:

,having said that at least she is being played a lot at the moment even if radio 2 seem to be stuck on choosing the same song over and over. :roll:

by **Cas19** » Sun May 09, 2010 10:44 am

Its rare I can say I have a Dusty moment as I don't listen to the radio much, but Dusty was singing SOAP this morning at around 9:20am on Magic 9.99...Lovely to hear her.

Tonight on the Jools Holland BBC 2 show his 'special guest' was Tom Jones. They showed a clip from his past - from the Dusty show! I ntroduced by Jools as a clip of 'you and Dusty' it went on to show singing 'Show me', but there was no Dusty :no:

'Dusty was round the back off camera' apparantly' Jools said after the clip finished
Still she GOT a mention!

by **SteveQ** » Wed May 26, 2010 12:10 pm

Arriving home from another long Monday at work, Smooth Radio started to play the Pet Shop Boys 'What have I done to deserve this’. Doesn’t Dusty sound wonderful on that track .I couldn't get out of the car until I listened to it. Last night(Tuesday) again just as I arrived outside my house, the ’Smooth presenter Derek Webster said “It’s time for some classic Dusty now.- “In the middle of nowhere”, so once again, I sat in my car transfixed to the radio.
Can it happen again tonight??
Steve

by **Brian** » Sat May 29, 2010 6:05 am

6.15 am today Zoe Ball on Radio 2 played 'Breakfast in bed'.
This is WEIRD :shock:

...at night I usually go off to sleep with the radio on at a low volume, and several times the next day I've been woken up with a Dusty track!
Does this mean I should bin my alarm clock??!! :lol:

Brian

by **MissDustyFanatic** » Sun May 30, 2010 8:13 pm

I was reading the Sunday newspaper this morning, and there's a small magazine called "Parade" inserted with the advertisements...it comes bundled with many Sunday newspapers across the country. Anyhow, there was a small interview with Kristin Chenoweth (who has a Dusty biopic in the works), and she mentioned an album she's putting out later in the year, and was asked about the album being a return to her roots. She said "Is it country? I don't know. I love Dusty Springfield!" Whether or not Miss Dusty's style will influence the album's sound, it was nice to see Miss Chenoweth express her respect for the music.

by **Brian** » Mon May 31, 2010 7:00 am

IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN! :shock:

This morning I woke up to 'Spooky' played by Richard Allinson on Radio 2 ..just before 7.30
My 'Dusty alarm' is working correctly - Spooky :shock:

by **Tim** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 1:23 am

Hi All

Had an amusing Dusty moment yesterday.

I recently reclaimed several boxes of 7" vinyl singles from storage elsewhere dating from the 60s to the early eighties - the former inherited from other people & latter being mine [:I]

To play them I finally got round to setting up my Dual record deck which hasn't been used for years. The intention being to sample some vinyl into my own music. This turned into a bit of a mission as I had to take take the deck apart & resolder a lead that was buzzing.
I thought I'd mark its recommission with 'something special'. So I flipped open one of the record boxes & flipped throught the s's - I was thinking of something groovy like Sly & The Family Stone... randomly I pulled out ...Dusty - Son of a Preacher Man - & the Dutch picture cover issue at that! I hadn't been into Dusty the last time I had looked in the boxes (1981!) & don't remember it being there - so it came as a real surprise. :yes:

I slipped Madame onto the turntable & fired her up at 45rpm - ah.... just like the old days - there was that lovely warm vinyl sound - & great fidelity...

Unfortunately my reverie was short lived as something was horribly wrong with the orchestra & then Dusty - who kind of dragged herself up to to the mic & slurred her way thru 'Just a Little Lovin' like she'd combined gender reassigment with a fistful of Valium........ to an accompanying smell that soon filled the room............ :no:

Seems more intensive deck refurbishment is in order..... a new drive belt I think.. I won't hold it against Dusty though - at least she showed up and the resulting chaos seemed somehow appropriate.. [:D]

by **jeffery** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:11 pm

That was a fun story Tim. I just bought a belt drive turntable (Dual) at a flea market. I hope that doesn't happen to me ! Any idea where I can get a new belt if it does ? :thumbsup:

by **Tim** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 9:23 am

Thanks - it doesn't read back as being that exciting - but I guess you had to be there!

I Googled a belt for Dual - (mine is a 505-2) the other day & I came up with this ebay link - but haven't had time to do any more research as of yet. If I find anything better I will let you know.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-x-DUAL-CS-505-2 ... 439e6bb715

I don't know if this is your model though?

by **Corinna** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 11:46 am

Loved your story, Tim! Couldn't happen with CD players, could it! :lol:

Hope the repair won't be too expensive!

by **jeffery** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 8:46 pm

One tip leads to another - thanks Tim.
I know what you mean about being funnier if you were there. After my divorce all I had left for entertainment was a 19" B/W portable TV. I was dozing on the couch one evening during a storm watching "Combat".
(a WW-2 series starring Vic Morrow) Suddenly lightning struck, and thunder boomed as a bomb went off in the middle of their battle, my TV went ZAP, and a puff of blue smoke rolled out the back all against a blackened screen! I was instantaneously lifted off the couch in shear terror.
None of that has anything to do with Dusty, but it was one of those funnier if you there. :lol:

my sister tells me J.Ross played "windmills of your mind" yesterday on his morning show. :bravo:

he has played her a few times and says he likes her and this is quite a different choice from the usual, so maybe the BBC listen when we say they only play the same ones of hers :yes:

I didn't hear it yesterday but in the past when Dusty has been played on his show, I've always felt it was down to his sidekick (whose name I can't remember right now), he usually has more to say about her and sometimes even brings up her name in to other conversations, once saying that he would expect Dusty to always be voted best female singer in this country.

I listened to the rebroadcast of "The Simon Bell Show" from London on Popmundial 2 last night.

Simon always plays Dusty, of course. And lots of Motown. Wonderful show, highly recommendable! :thumbsup:
