Dusty Springfield

You can say that again

Ah Sonko - class

I think she was the first ever letsbian..she may have invented it..fantastic voice
first white artist on motown?

She is what the call AC/DC - double apdater   Nah she wasn't although nobody could sing soul like her including all the black motown artists!!!

She was pretty special. Great voice but not sure I'd go as far as saying she was the best.
Only recently discovered that one of the male singers in The Springfields was her brother.

"nobody could sing soul like her including all the black motown artists"

If you think that listen to Millie Jackson on youtube singing If Loving you is wrong and I'm gonna kiss you all over! Dusty was good and in later life was aided by the Pet Shop Boys.  Can't be compared to the best black female soul singers imho.

Not a Motown/Tamla/Tamla Motown artist at all I think, and defo NOT the first white Motown artist.  Someone on here will know

Debbie Dean was the first white solo artist for motown.   Have to disagree with you slicer , Millie jackson was not as good as Dusty imo and Millie's version of "If loving you is wrong" is not a patch on Luther INgram's.   

Yes akabula that's correct!!!

Chris Clark first white Motown artist. Listen to I want to go back there again on youtube!

Whether she was the best or not is debatable but what isn't imho is that she performed in the greatest ever decade for music, the 60s.

No problems Mr d- all a matter of opinion!

over the see in the island of dreams.
I think Dusty's ashes were scattered somewhere in Ireland after she passed away.great singer.

Yes Slicer all about opinions which is great!!  Yes Brassneck - Dusty's Mother was Irish from Co Kerry

She was my idol!!!  I wanted her babies ............  errrrr! ooops!!
