Dusty Springfield - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me (From "Live At The RAH" DVD)

[TheCollinsd1]

thank god i disliked

[stephenlent]

Dusty sang with her brothers as the Springfields, before she broke off and went solo. i would have married her if she wasn't so 'gay', as in Lesbian. no big.

[muldoonmax]

Great song!

[TheSpaghettihoop]

Although I believe her parents were Irish I am sure although I could be wrong that i read something many, many years ago that she was brought up in a Convent, as sometime during her early life her parents abandoned her, please correct me if I am wrong about this but I am sure I read something over 30 years ago about this.

[arguskibby]

@TheSpaghettihoop Her mom was Irish, Dusty was raised in England. Her upbringing included Catholic schooling, and it was anything but normal. Her mom drank a bit and the father was a quiet accountant with interests in music. Dusty was never abandoned. She of course left The Springfields and went on to be an icon with a voice that cannot be copied or topped. She was simply the best.

[Manujones27]

American ? British ? Irish ? in fact who cares. She had a great voice and was

admired and loved, all over the world. A fan

[rasputin63]

@CosmicTruthify Yes, this is the story as i've heard it, too...

[sternumagnum]

In the 1960s, demigods walked the Earth...

[SaulMeyersz]

you should all read her bio to get a better perspective on her.

see where her success came from and her perseverance 

[rodjohnston7]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Executed by the best. Rod

[Debutantealways]

Such an enormous talent!! I would have loved to see her do this!! We grew up with the best music...they will never make it like this again!

[StevenThaw]

Dusty!

[franticamber]

This performance demonstrates why Dusty was a superstar. It isn't just the incredible voice, but also the inflection and how she expressed herself throughout any song she sang.

[joeysings]

Magnificent vocalist!!!!

[combat87]

7 dislikes????

[lacygirl99]

Whatever nationality she is doesnt matter, she was a beautiful person, with a beautiful voice!!!

[zinesilol88]

My POINT was and is , she was partly Irish because of her parents birth place, Ireland.Seem's you still don't read the comments correctly. End of.

[1polonium210]

I remember her well. She was a lovely woman. What a voice!

[rasputin1952]

Not her best rendition of this, but live performances by anyone tend to have flaws. Two things she had right up to the end, a powerful voice with fantastic range, and a beauty, both inner and outer that transcends time and space. We lost a lot when Dusty left this plane.

[greeniem]

i like her ass in this video

[desert3347]

I think that Dusty was Prety Good Hear, although when she Hooked Up with the

Pet Shop Boys, She came "Alive" Like she had a Rebirth. I love Her Private Session

work! It realy told all of Us Who She Was!

[snivelinjack]

God, what a beautiful woman with such great talent !!! Too bad her small boobs took her life. I'm not trying to be a smart ass.

[exposefraud]

Dusty Springfield was born as Mary O'Brien in West Hampstead, North London, England, on 16 April 1939.

So, apparently, that means she must have been Irish.

[friendlytec]

Beautiful Song Beautiful Singer

[daveaddy1]

Dusty was pure magic , pure music...a pure person....she will remain in our hearts for ever....simply the best......David...Israel

[TheXxNatashaxx]

A true singer

[jallymatt]

The Best. Thanks for posting

[sleepytimegalz]

What passion she sang with..thank you for posting her "tunes" phyllis..

[siddarthsherpa]

i feel it soothing when she sings, rather than the king himself!!

[supersondessixties]

[akbarua]

Dusty we love you forever.

[elkartian]

[jessicarc14]

I love you dusty

[mnbuio]

Dusty looks amazingly sexy here... what a performer.  The best.

[bonfid]

She was born Mary O'brien of irish english parents.

[derbbus]

@bonfid

Correct !

[bonfid]

@derbbus There's an authorized biography of her called" Dancing With Demons" by Penny Valentine and Vickie Wickham, pub. by St. Martins Press. It's very good. She could never find a way to be happy. So sad.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Wonderful performer!

[MrSkiwicz]

One of the backup singers (to her right) looks like Pavarotti.

[craigusss]

Fantastic!!!!!!

[maccafan10]

Class !!!

[lumeriam]

I LOVE her! How is it she remains so well preserved and gorgeous she looks 40.

[Gem5771]

Timeless beauty she was!

[CAZ241253]

dusty springfield The pop diva of the 60s and every other generation.

[ffm20zaheri]

incredible that she later had an awesome comeback thanks to the pet shop boys

[OctoberOhio]

It looks as if it was early/mid 70s, after she moved to America. For sure it was done by about 78 that I can see from photos.

My personal feeling, but what do I know, was the nose job was a trigger for her "lost years". She, more than anyone, would have been crushed by any loss of voice. (Never good enough you know)

[ajaxs65]

MILF!!!!!!!!!!!

[hildaquinn]

i love dusty sexy lady jump in my bed anytime

[lindakevin10lk]

I'm a huge fan of Herman's Hermits - I just heard about this new original DVD series: reelinintheyears(dot)com/briti­shinvasion

[OctoberOhio]

My opinion, the nose job kinda ruined her tone. Sure, she can still sing, but something deeper is missing...

[GiuseppePascuale928]

@OctoberOhio

Do you know when Dusty had a nose job? I heard she had facial work done in the early 80s after a domestic accident/incident.  Was it at that point, or was it prior to this 1979 performance?

[OctoberOhio]

[Scarlitos]

She losing her voice! But still good!

[LuvDusty2007]

This was a Royal Albert Hall concert (with Princess Margaret in attendance) in 1979. While she's definitely not in pristine form, she still does a wonderful job and looks healthy and well--sings with more soul in her pinky finger than any of today's crop of "singers" for sure!

We miss you Dusty!

[razzletastic]

Dusty was born in England and received an OBE shortly before she died in 1999. Her parents were Irish. She was not American but spent a lot of time in the US.

[xcrazyrandomerx]

She possessed a quality no one else ever will. She was pure class and never ending perfection.

American? Pah!

[leopoldhoob]

yes !!

[nthglasScotland]

R.I.P & Thank You, London Dusty xxx.

[lynne150351]

i saw her live in the 60;s she was just the best ever no body could sing like her!!!

[death2hakz]

i read somewhere her voice dont sound white nor black and that belt towards the end was definetly a unique sound

[dalekkaan]

To the author.

She's American not British...

[eaglerocktv]

No she isn't.

Born in West Hampstead, raised in Ealing, London.

She's British, through and through.

James

[zinesilol88]

@eaglerocktv British through and through, not really , a lot of Irish blood there !!!!

[monkeywrench890]

@eaglerocktv What is it with Americans claiming performers I had an american tell me rolling stones where the greatest american band ever :-)

[lunafringe10]

@eaglerocktv i lived in west hampstead, i never saw her hehe,

[JanboJay]

@eaglerocktv To all those before me :

dusty was Mary ann O'brien, she did grow up in ealing and went to ealing Grammar, her maths teacher was Mrs garvey, who got me through Maths as well - God bless bioth of them !

[zinesilol88]

@eaglerocktv Hardly British through and through. Her Mother was Irish. Her father obviously had Irish blood .... O'Brien !

[exposefraud]

@zinesilol88 Great Britain, the old term for the now more commonly used United Kingdom, comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Dusty was as British as they come.

[zinesilol88]

@exposefraud Your comment makes little. Don't need a geography lesson. Dusty 's name was O'Brien, Irish. Her parents Irish !! althought Dusty was born in the U.K. there was A LOT of Irish blood. there.Part of her ashes where scattered in Ireland.Get IT !!!! maybe not.

[exposefraud]

@zinesilol88 You can be born in England and be British

In N. Ireland and be British,

In Wales and be British,

In Scotland and be British

Get it?

[zinesilol88]

@exposefraud Clearly YOU don;t get IT !!!! I will make it SIMPLE for you Her parents where born in the Republic of Ireland . HELLOOOOOO That means Dusty had IRISH blood in her GET IT. Just read my comments slowley maybe , just maybe you might understand.

[exposefraud]

@zinesilol88 Yep, I read your moronic comments. Now what?

[Eldomina22]

@zinesilol88 That wins my award for dumbest comment of the year

[zinesilol88]

@Eldomina22 I am obviously trying to make sense ,to someone that has a low I.Q.Maybe IF you read slowly.

[Eldomina22]

@zinesilol88 ok I'll read it slowly. This is what you said.

"Your comment makes little".

I'm assuming you didn't mean to end your sentence there, since it makes no sense to anyone of any IQ if you did.

The rest of your point seems to be "Yes, you're right, she was English, I'm just trying to squeeze some Irish into the equation for reasons only I will understand".

Bye.

[byyon]

@dalekkaan

Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien was born in West Hampstead, North London, England, to an Irish family. She was raised in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire until the early 1950s and later lived in the West London borough of Ealing.

Her father, Gerard O'Brien, had been raised in the British Raj, was neat and precise by character, and worked as a tax accountant and consultant. Her mother Kay came from County Kerry, Ireland.

[arguskibby]

@byyon You are the only person who got this right.

[doyouspeakpolishblog]

@dalekkaan you're an idiot

[pgmjc18]

man get out here "most truest voice, most beautiful voice" man mariah carey's voice is way better now than this. Im not even going to go to the old mariah. Whitney will blow this lady to mars. Who else? Umm celine, so many female artists are better thanthis lady. Do you have a crush or something?

[skilski2003]

pgmjc: Ms. Springfield had been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the time of this. Her voice, before she was ill, was as good as any you have mentioned. She died with total dignity and grace.

[BlackMonk66]

This was long before she was diagnosed with cancer. To be honest, her voice sounds like it's giving out at a couple of places. She's still better than Celine, Mariah, or Whitney. She understood that the point of singing was to put across the emotion in a song, not to give an exhibition of vocal technique.

[dzed1011]

I totally agree, BlackMonk66. The "divas" you mentioned can do vocal gymnastics ad infinitum, but where's the soul? Most of the time they leave me cold.

[Planotone]

Wow! A young one speaks out. Now try and listen to Patti Labelle. No, I don't have a crush , just differrent times. Some of the older and I mean older still can nail their tunes.

[mnmcv1]

I don't have a crush, but I can say your comment is completely full of it.

this is far from the greatest performance of Dusty Springfield's, but this woman was a brilliant vocalist...do you know ANYTHING about her? How did you even end up on this clip?

[1967MOD]

fab

[paulreeve]

Perfection unforced. Just amazing !

[leopold2369]

Ive said it before..and will again...in my opinion..the truest, most beautiful voice ever...........

[landoo123]

goose bumps.......

[billzz99]

Distinctive and timeless! Dusty blows most of today's dime a dozen cookie cutter skank artists out of the water.

[leopold2369]

blows and destroys mate...........

[annalist9]

she is the one

[deltorso]

MAGIC !!

[jtg2507]

WOW-she is still HOT

[TowellsStrongPlayer]
