I think I'm with TLO on this one. She was the first female singer to get my attention, as a child, and she was really a bit special.

Well, I think everyone pretty much agrees that Dusty had a superb vocal talent.

I guess living ladies I like to hear would include Juanita Stein, Leila Moss and Charlotte Hatherley.

 

[NMH]

A little treat here though, for fans of the vocal laytees

And a veritable feat for ears and eyes - a smorgasbord of lasses, (including Dusty) on Ready Steady Go. Why don't we have tv programs like this now?
