Poll question: HA! NightTrain! Ya missed one: FAVORITE DUSTY SPRINGFIELD TUNE!

I know..there are a million and I can guess which will be most people's favorite but we gotta pay tribute to Dusty!

1. Son of Preacher man.....

that's my choice.

on edit, playing it on my computer now B-)

[ForrestGump]

3. Yes!

It's always been my favorite. She was also pretty darned good on those others, though, I must say.

4. You don't have to say you love me

would be my next pic and to think I didn't appreciate her at all when I was younger.

18. My choice too, but a tough one. She was great w/ Pet Shop Boys;

I'm glad they helped revive a real original!

[GCP]

12. Son of a Preacher Man

She was a class act, miss her.

2. hard to chose

[NightTrain]

5. Maybe I just hadn't gotten to her yet

But thanks for saving me the trouble! :thumbsup:

6. I knew that!

I KNEW you would get to her! :hi:

But which one did you pick?

I'm playing Dusty in Memphis as we speak!

[NightTrain]

7. My choice was...

"I Only Want To Be With You," one of the happiest, most upbeat records this side of Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher."

My next choice would be "Son of a Preacher Man," the song that truly made her the Queen of Blue-Eyed Soul!

[Old and In the Way]

8. Whatta voice......

she sang sexy.

9. So Much Love

Dusty mades this song worth listening to over and over again even though the lyrics are pathetic. :)

[TNDemo]

10. Help me track down one of her songs.

She had a song out in the late 1980s or early 1990s and I can't even remember the lyrics or anything about it except I really liked it. Does anyone know what she had out then???

[Laughing Mirror]

13. you mean "In Private"

which she did with the Pet Shop Boys who had been after her for years to get her to record with them?

[TNDemo]

15. No, but I found it!

It was Something In Your Eyes. That was driving me crazy.

[Skittles]

11. ISLAND OF DREAMS

as a young girl in England I adored Dusty.


Island of Dreams

I wander the streets
And the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you
But somehow it seems
That my thoughts ever stray
To our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams

High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you

Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams

High in the sky is a bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you

Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams
