TheSpectator: A review of Dusty: An Intimate Portrait, by Karen Bartlett. The sexually repressed and mentally unstable singer’s rise to stardom was as meteoric as her fall.
Call me a crazy old physiognomist, but my theory is that you can always spot a lesbian by her big thrusting chin. Celebrity Eskimo Sandi Toksvig, Ellen DeGeneres, Jodie Foster, Clare Balding, Vita Sackville-West, God love them: there’s a touch of Desperate Dan in the jaw-bone area, no doubt the better to go bobbing for apples. more
I never knew Agnes Moorehead was a lesbian.
Pifff, “I Only Want to Be With You” made up for any of that shit.
I still love Dusty Springfield songs and I thought she was a great entertainer. My favorite…

So sue me, I found another gem… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyCVxPEPx5Y …
I had some older cousins growing up that listened to nothing but her and the Beetles. Girls. They corrupted me. The Beetles never stuck. She did. Sad really.
Lol, me too. Dang she had a lot of hits.

LMBO
That line should become viral.
Now, we have ladies getting plastic chin implants. They look ridiculous.
She looks a lot like Suzie Orman but without the makeup.
Tune in next week when Tuesday and I share Boz Scaggs.
Thanks, you two. I enjoyed all of those tunes, and The Look of Love most of all. But I don’t think Ronald’s Maximus’ old friend, Agnes Moorehead was ever really a lesbian. And lesbian or not, Dusty still rules a part of our hearts.
Thanks Grunt. A tortured soul. Maybe that’s what made her do damn good.
Night you guys…this is where I turn into a pumpkin…or somethin. 🙂
Good night Tuesday.
Now we all know John Kerry’s secret…
Loved Dusty. Of course, all her big hits came out when I was in high school.
Bobbing for apples? Ohhhh….
I still love ya Dusty.
I love all her songs a real talent and I had no idea she lived such a miserable life. The article was intent on blaming society for Dusty’s demons or excusing her behavior.
Buffalo’s sister?
We have had a pair of Dusty Springfield Best Of discs in the CD player upstairs for going on seven years and it only holds six discs. The kids love it.
Her voice was so silky and perfect.
