Let's Talk Dusty!

by **trek007** » Sat Jul 21, 2018 12:15 pm

I was actually awake this morning to listen to Tony B and his Dusty track!
Also watched the 5 and the caravans! Took me back to when we had a touring van though we would not have taken ours down that narrow road...unless of course I had got us lost, which happened a few times...lol :lol:

It was pulling a caravan what did for the Reliant [;)]

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Jul 21, 2018 12:25 pm

Yes those lanes were very narrow, i wouldnt take my car down those

Lots of Dusty at the moment, Ken bruce played in private to close his radio 2 show on thursday and now no 11, in 1968 radio 2 has just played ICMEACTT on the countdown chart pick of the pops. [:)]

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 1:22 pm

I requested "but it's a nice dream" for all Dusty fans on Elaine Paige on radio 2 and she just played it :thumbsup:

One of my top fav Dusty songs. [ear]

by **trek007** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 1:31 pm

Lovely to hear this on the radio...so well done for requesting it Liz and nice that Elaine played it :bravo:

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 6:46 am

Thanks Trek, I love that song.
Just for you Tony blackburn on radio 2 SOTS just played .. some of your lovin' after calling Dusty a wonderful wonderful singer. [yahoo]

by **trek007** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 7:55 am

I shall have to listen to SOTS on catchup as I have only just come out of the shower!
Still shattered after the few days in Salford, and lack of sleep! Plus the effects of the humid weather.

Owen Money on radio Wales is playing SOYLovin' :thumbsup:

He loves Dusty..... [yahoo]

He said " when the good Lord takes me i hope i' m in the room next to her,
I would like to listen to her every morning she was fantastic " :love:

by **trek007** » Sun Aug 05, 2018 1:40 pm

What a lovely thing to say by the DJ.

by **pat.dunham** » Mon Aug 06, 2018 6:57 am

2 am, It's hot and I can't sleep - switch on Radio5 Live and there's Dusty. Nearly an hour of discussion on DIM. Needless to say I listened and eventually fell asleep.

Here's the link whiz along to 1.05 (news1.31-1.36) starts again with WOYM.

Well I was awake and struggling in this heat at night to try and sleep, if i had switched it on it would have driven me mad as I thought it was a badly managed segment. Talking over each other and meandering about .
It was a well meant but poorly executed session.
The good side being we got to hear that wonderful husky Dusty and she was never meant to be compared to Aretha as a singer. Dusty was not a gospel singer so it was always ludicrous and didnt do her low self esteem any favours at that time when the album wasnt successful .
It is a great album as has since been proved by its lasting success and Dusty was incomparable then and now. :love:

by **pat.dunham** » Mon Aug 06, 2018 1:50 pm

Liz, I quite agree it was not the best of radio especially with the poor narrative. Glad that full tracks were played.
Very strange when a "reggae" version of SOAPM by AF was played .
Take the talk out and it was a great listen! :note:

by **trek007** » Mon Aug 06, 2018 6:14 pm

Thanks for the information Pat.
This is well worth a listen. :note:

I actually found the talk very interesting too.

by **darren2722** » Sat Aug 11, 2018 7:30 pm

Thanks Pat, that was a great listen, Awesome this album is still being talked about nearly 50 years after its release.

by **boztiggs** » Mon Aug 13, 2018 7:18 pm

just had a little bit of a dusty moment, I was sitting here mulling over the sad news about Aretha dying, and I thought two things, first the story about them in a lift, and then I thought of the line from yesterday when I was young " there are so many songs in me that wont be sung", anyway, ive got all of dustys albums and bozsets on iTunes and im on random while I cook tea, and what came on a few minutes later, YWIWY

Neil xx

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Aug 18, 2018 6:50 am

A song we can all relate to Neil......Tony Blackburn on radio 2 played a few Aretha songs and paid her a lovely tribute and after Aretha he played Dusty with , In the middle of nowhere. [:)]

by **pat.dunham** » Sun Aug 19, 2018 7:53 pm

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Sep 01, 2018 7:00 am

Johnnie walker show on radio 2 this afternoon..... he has a request each week for a fav to be entered into his jukebox.
This week it was " i'm coming home again". It was the choice of Pete the session drummer who said he played on this in bbc studios when Dusty sang it and had loved her voice in his headphones. [ear]

Its about 25 mins into the start of the show.

by **trek007** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 6:51 pm

Yes Liz it was a lovely moment from the session drummer.
I was watching the golf Ryder cup and listen to Johnny Walker on my headphones!!

by **Robin** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 9:07 pm

It was great to hear this track on Johnnie’s show. I never once heard this when it was a single back in 1979.

by **IWannaBeABluesSinger** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:41 am

Just had a Dusty moment out of left field. In this video about Jimi Hendrix' first "official" gig, at London's Cromwellian club (Jimi had played The Scotch Of St. James before he had a work permit), Brian Auger talks about the venue as a gathering place for the who's who of Brit rock. He mentions Dusty at the 3:00 minute mark:

Mika played SOAPM this lunchtime and said some nice things about Dusty.
He said is was as good today as when it was recorded. That's the sign of a good interpreter.

by **Cardiff Bluesgirl** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 10:11 am

" She was a wonderful singer and a very nice person as well." That's what Tony Blackburn said on his radio 2 sixties show. He had played IOWTBWY.
Then radio 2 pick of the pops played a chart from 1969 and Dusty of course with SOAPM.

Had a different kind of Springfield moment yesterday. Went in motorcyle showroom yesterday to see the beautiful Indian range of motorbikes. They are a work of art just gorgeous.
My favourite of course is the Springfield dark horse.
When i first joined ltd the much missed Rob very kindly came to meet me at the local coffee shop and we chatted about Dusty etc. He was then going to this motorbike showroom to look for a new bike, i bet he would have loved these Indian bikes. Especially the vintage one and the Springfield one.I cant put the picture on sorry as it says file too big. [:)]

Having never heard of the Indian MC Co did a bit of searching. Here's the "Springfield".

Knowing of Dusty's love of speed I think she would have approved.
I bet they give Harley-D a run for their money!
