@jilhal24 How and why in any way is this song only applicable to homosexual relationships?
Dusty sang all kinds of song superbly, not because of her sexuality, but because of her miraculous voice and her musical emotional connection and ability to interpret that. Why can't people just enjoy her music FFS!?
Dusty and Petula!. We will never see the likes of them again. Almost had it with Amy Whinehouse but alas the heavens want their best back to quickly. R.I.P beautifulf sogntress's.
There was a snippet of the blow monkeys version in dirty dancing but that's the only movie I know of that it's in. Dustys rendition of this song is fantastic - as is the Lesley gore version. Great song - great singer - there will never be another Dusty. RIP xxx
@desert3347 I hope that somewhere, somehow, she does. I don't think she ever appreciated or understood just what a great talent she was and how much she was loved. I miss her too.
@ronnogold I Totally agree with You....I Hope She Somehow knows what She left Us. After listening to an "interview" with Dustys close friends, Dusty was a "perfectionest" & wanted only the "Best" out of Herself to Give to Her Fans...rip Dusty . We So Miss You.....
As a gay person who is blind as a bat without my glasses, she is a great person ot look up to. She was visually impaired and a lesbian at a time when it was impossible to be open about it and she was incredibly successful. Dusty opened the door for the LGBT community and the handicapable community.
xricaann- she hated labels and people who judged her from her pref of women- she was gay not bi. She had to hide it or lose her career. Back then NO ONE accepted gay people. She was great example that gay women can be feminine/intelligent/talented/beautiful!!!
I'm 18 and I have to recognize that even in my generation we don't see such a great talent like this. I kind of feel embarrassed, songs like this talk about emotions, love, relationships... many songs that my friends and even my little sister listen just talk about partying wildly, sex, drugs...
This is just sad...
I came to this song thanks to one of Burberry's video, and well... you were a goddes at your time, and for me, many years later, I found such title well earned.
Who cares how she spend her private. life . As a artist she was one of the greatest. the world should be thankful . FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF LISTEN TO HER .!!!!
I love Dusty Springfield. Is it weird that I'm a married guy? I know she has a following in the gay community, but that doesn't stop me from loving her work.
Isn't she great. I was lucky to grow up in that time. Dusty was always number one to me followed by the other two from the pom triumvirate, Cilla and Petula. What a decade for music.
I was born in 65 and was lucky enough to have been brought up with Dusty spent most of my childhood listening to her music more than my mum! She is my idol forever And my daughter loves her too>>> who couldn't and we love her fashion!!!!!!!!
There's a great NEW book on Dusty: 'The Invention of Dusty Springfield - Scenes From a BritPop Icon'. It's a fun read and a tribute to 'our' Dusty. Available on Amazon.com.
Dusty. You don't have to say any more. They had the trifecta in England with Pet Clarke, Cilla Black and Dusty. You can't speak of the great female vocalists without including Dusty at the top. Lesley Gore did this well but Dusty was better.

Love this and love Dusty, but I still prefer Lesley Gore's version: it still sends chills up my spine after almost fifty years of having listened to it.
Not a Dusty fan particularly. but what I admire about the female singers of that era, across the board is they knew how to sing and dress...rather than undress... for the camera. Alot of todays popular female 'singers' get by on their sexuality not talent.
To everyone that were at least teens in the 60's , Were'nt we lucky to hear all these great songs and singers for the first time. sixties was the best for music
@RAY2424 I'll be 60 next week, who knows where the time goes? loved Dusty, still do, would have loved to have known her. Dyke? So what, it really doesn't matter, I only wish she could have come out earlier. Too many fond memories to list but she had the most fabulous voice and style, miss you Mary. And as for sixties music I'll agree it was good but good music still being made. 60's & 90's have been best so far imo but don't close your ears people
@RAY2424 Dude, I was born in 62 and I remember all this stuff, it's timeless and kick ass. I'm emailing much of Dusty to my 21 year old son. Hopefully the future will appreciate it's uniqueness.
@RAY2424 I was born in '63 but I know every word to everyone of these classics, here I am at 48yrs and sitting in my office working over Easter (in Australia workers get 5 days off over Easter...except me..lol) with this blarring through my office. Let the good times roll. :)

I did not know that, musclebear. I heard a modern version of I Only Want To Be With You recently. It's by Volbeat and its a LOT different but I will consider it as honoring her memory.
Yes, Dusty is absolutely amazing, and did a trememdous job with this song. But please listen to Karen Carpenter (such as her song "Superstar") for another totally incredible female voice. This is not to put down Dusty in any way. There can be more than one incredible female vocalist. btw, Lesley Gore, who did the original of "You Don't Own Me", was absolutely marvelous in her version as well. All the best!
I'm a musician, have a home studio and much to my pain I listen to music rather clinically.
But if you put Ella, Judy, Lena, Aretha, Barbra, kd, Mariah in the control room and hear that performance I don't believe any would have tried to come near it.
That's a perfect vocal with bizarre choices on the beginnings and endings of notes. And everytime a key change occurs in her songs you really just want the music to shut up.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the words, but I'm guessing she related to the lyrics as it said a lot about her own troubled life (e.g. the school she was at, her relationship with her brother).
@pegasusbsb27 No sweat. You had to rely on what you were told. I, on the other hand, was there!
To let you guys in on something none will admit: to listen to these great songs we had to endure hours of Henry Manchelli Conni fransis and Alma Cougan, with songs(?) like Little polka dot bikini and Que sera sera and Little doggie in the window . . . excuse me. I feel sick. .
Dusty Springfields musical and spine chilling vocal talent on song after song after song after song is simply BEYOND AWESOME!! You cannot say that about any other pop singer ever!!
@vailsburghighlife There is not much that can be said after that. This beautiful and talented women sang my credo with more passion than I ever could have imagined . I only wish she was still with us. RIP girlfriend.
I met Lesley Gore while working as the Concierge at a major hotel in Phoenix AZ and we had a chance to chat..she had nothing but praise for Dusty Springfield. It warmed my heart to know two of my favorites covered songs and admired each other so much. Thanks for posting this! BklynBoy
Well this is a big shock. I had no idea Dusty did a cover of this song. It's brilliant of course. Everything Dusty does is amazing anyway. I like both her and Leslie's versions alot.
@AJJ1990 .......I agree they should do about 10 episodes of Glee, putting 2 or 3 different Dusty classics in each episode including this, Everyday I have to cry some; Losing You; YDHTSYLM; Brand New Me; How can I be sure.....and on and on
To Jander4031: Couldn't agree more. Let's face it - with VERY few exceptions, today's "divas" only need good promoters/managers, to look good half-naked, and have lots of flash with barely enough voice to get through a tune. No comparisons at all to the true talents you mentioned, or to other greats like Barbara Lewis, Chi Coltrane, Diana Washington, Dionne Warwick, et al ...
Amen to that! She is perfection. She could sing all the names in a telephone book and make it sound wonderful. What a voice, what a lady. Miss her so much RIP Dusty
I've always found it a little ironic that this song has been done by Dusty, Lesley Gore, Joan Jett and Klaus Nomi. Of these, only one has really gone out with boys. I don't know about Rasputina. :)

Dusty was certainly a much superior singer than Lesley who is still one of my favorite singers.

I met Lesley Gore while working as the Concierge at a major hotel in Phoenix AZ and we had a chance to chat..she had nothing but praise for Dusty Springfield. It warmed my heart to know two of my favorites covered songs and admired each other so much. Thanks for posting this! BklynBoy

Well this is a big shock. I had no idea Dusty did a cover of this song. It's brilliant of course. Everything Dusty does is amazing anyway. I like both her and Leslie's versions alot.

@AJJ1990 .......I agree they should do about 10 episodes of Glee, putting 2 or 3 different Dusty classics in each episode including this, Everyday I have to cry some; Losing You; YDHTSYLM; Brand New Me; How can I be sure.....and on and on

sounds so much like the Lesley Gore version, produced by Quincy Jones-did he produce this version as well, it's terrific!

To Jander4031: Couldn't agree more. Let's face it - with VERY few exceptions, today's "divas" only need good promoters/managers, to look good half-naked, and have lots of flash with barely enough voice to get through a tune. No comparisons at all to the true talents you mentioned, or to other greats like Barbara Lewis, Chi Coltrane, Diana Washington, Dionne Warwick, et al ...

Amen to that! She is perfection. She could sing all the names in a telephone book and make it sound wonderful. What a voice, what a lady. Miss her so much RIP Dusty

I've always found it a little ironic that this song has been done by Dusty, Lesley Gore, Joan Jett and Klaus Nomi. Of these, only one has really gone out with boys. I don't know about Rasputina. :)
