I just posted this on the Facebook page but you beat me to it here Clive. My daughter Lucy knows the model. I don't think Dusty ever wore the bottom lashes but other than that, he did a good job

[karen]

Yes this does take you back Clive thanks for posting .. . Just as well Dusty didn't wear them on the bottom lashes as well .. sleeping with them on as she did sometimes WOW..

If anyone missed Queens of British Pop first time around, it's on again on Sunday evening. BBC2 7.00pm. From memory, I think Dusty was first on.

Memories Are Made of Hits


The music from Doris Day, Connie Francis, Buddy Holly and Billy Fury feature in Memories Are Made Of Hits, a brand new show that brings together the most popular artists and their music from the nostalgic era of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Reminding you of the stars that created some of the greatest and most popular hit recordings ever made, including classic performers Elvis Presley, Dusty Springfield, The Shadows and Bobby Vee, this is a dynamic afternoon matinee that will leave you singing the songs for weeks to come.

Lovely to think it is being restored Cas , and how close were you to Dusty WOW..

Thanks for this too Clive , wonder if Wend might be tempted...

Nice to see the pic of The Liverpool Empire, went there when the first Dusty musical (the one with Mari Wilson)came out .Then it came to the Palace in Manchester... So obviously,we went again.
I love the old theatres they have so much more character than the newer ones. If only those walls could talk!..

Great shot of the Empire and good that it's being restored. I hated that they let the Odeon in Manchester fall into decay, I had fond memories of Dusty, The Four Tops, Madeline and Sam and Dave there. Cas, I wonder why we didn't taken any photo's at the panto? Considering we went two or three times, you would have thought we would have.

[Cas19]

I'm not sure why we didn't as I know I had my camera for sure on one occasion as I took a pic of one of the Ryan twins, and also the poster outside. Maybe they didn't allow you to take photos.

Maybe they didn't or I'm sure we would have snapped one of Dusty with her big stick

[daydreamer]

Well, who'd have thought?


DW: When did you discover girls?

SC: About seven. I had a crush on Dusty Springfield. Also, Raquel Welch. I had the One Million Years B.C. poster. But my first crush was a girl called Tara Miller and we snogged at the bottom of my garden.

I found a couple of small pics of the Imperial where I first saw Dusty live on stage in the 60s. To say Nelson was only a small northern town, the Imperial had all the top acts including the Beatles and Dusty.
The Imperial burnt down I forget the year, but on the site they built flats.
Heres a couple of pics, one of Dusty with the stage manager and whoever else.







You could dance right up to the stage and almost touch the artists.
I thought something like this would have made a nice thread of its own if theres enough material from everyone?

[Clive]

lovely Cas and a great idea for a thread I think.

[karen]

This may have been posted before ... but nice to hear Dusty on this ad... and of course the fashion

[SweMaria]

Yes, it was very nice to hear Dusty sing "Spooky" here, I haven't seen this before!
Interesting with this Vintage collection, too!
Thanks for posting, Karen!

[Cas19]
