LTD will close December 31

[Corinna]

As previously announced, on December 31, the Let’s Talk Dusty! forum will close down. It will, however, live on in a different incarnation, as a knowledge base, at this link: http://dustyspringfield.org.uk/site/ There, everything we’ve written about Dusty is preserved in searchable PDFs, over 2,000 in fact, which makes it THE goto-place for reliable facts about Dusty. There’s also a large gallery (nearly 20,000 images!) with every picture of Dusty ever posted on the forum. It’s my hope that you will find it a useful resource.

With that said, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for your support, participation and enthusiasm through the years to everyone who kept the forum going for 13 years – everyone on the LTD team; every member who shared their love of Dusty and her music, and their memories and photos in numerous posts; everyone who generously donated to our flower & animal charity funds in memory of Dusty –

Thank you Corinna, so much history and personal memories enclosed in this site. I'm delighted that it will still live on and that we wont lose all those years of posts. Thanks team for all your hard work xx

[IWannaBeABluesSinger]

Let me add a personal thanks, Corinna , and to all the founders and admins of this congenial gathering place . My love of Dusty's music had been somewhat dormant for many decades but it now burns bright and enduringly thanks to having had the opportunity to learn all things Dusty
