  • Dusty, I would never have gone away!

  • ilove u Dusty

    

  • To hear my song 'When I Saw Your Face' please type in 'Roy Douglas' on youtube. Thank you.

  • Those who have known true love will understand this song, Dusty's rendition is super.

    It brought tears to my eyes for Mimi, the girl who went away from my life.

    She was French and so gentle, sophisticated, elegant and beautiful.

    I am a songwriter and I wrote a special song for her, you can hear it on

    Youtube sung by a French cabaret artist named Roy Douglas - it's called

    "When I Saw Your Face".

    I hope you like it,thank you for listening.

  • she gave peace and compassion through her songs to the world 

  • One of the most wonderful female voices of all time - specifically her presentation....

  • original song" ne me quitte pas" by jacques brel

  • very nice song

  • This version of this song was used perfectly in the film Toast, which should be out soon on dvd.

  • A great version of this song...There's something about that voice.

  • Cisco, to Susan. I miss You! 2/15/12

  • What an amazing voice!

  • Big X for Dusty.

  • I can't stop listening to this. She had such an amazing voice and ability to carry a song like this to its fullest.

  • of all the bands / artists I have ever listened too nobody else ever ever sings as good as Dusty she was simply beautiful.What a fantasic upload.

  • I remember this song from when I was little....it totally makes me cry, but it's such a great song. She sings with so much passion and emotion!

  • Great translation !

    But Brel"s version is the top !

  • Dusty is terrific! She lives on in my heart.

  • In Dutch translaed : Laat me niet alleen. The best song ever, even Christ is jealous!

  • Wow...this song's beauty actually gave me the goosebumps!

  • @SakuraKiss  amazing isnt it ? welcome to real music.

  • Dusty and Brel = sheer class.

  • In my opinion (and remember its just MY opinion!!) Brel himself, Dusty and Alison Moyet have done this song real justice...all in their own way.many artists (even though many i LOVE) have not come close....but again, just my opinion. you all are entitled to yours ;-)

  • ow,, never mind xD I arrived at the second part of the song

  • Is this the English version of Ne me quitte pas?

  • @TirzaDidden Yes. The English lyrics were written by Rod McKuen.

  • i just love her, so much, if i can have her everyday, voice of course, I'll die peacefully! JUST FANTASTICO. I just feel so for this song!!!

  • i just love her, so much, if i can have her everyday, voice of course, I'll die peacefully! JUST FANTASTICO

  • This version lacks the sourness of Brel's original and the expressive voice of Shirley Bassey's legendaric version. It's nice, but not great.

  • Amazing voice! Brilliant!

  • The voice of an Angel ! 

  • sjsjsjsj

  • fantastic singer

  • Fabulous - nobody sings this better than darling Dusty.

  • Fabulous :  )

  • What an amazing voice. Thank you for sharing.

    Vale Dusty - you remain the best.

  • its good, but i really hate all the commenters saying yeah, there's no one in modern singing who can sing as good, and all that bullshit. come on. that's just dumb. There are lots of artists, each with their own quality. They are not competing.

  • @timmay301 okay, I'll change it to there are very few singers today who could sing as good and usually the one's with the real talent don't make it because all that is promoted these days is electronically enhanced hoochies who dress like hookers and have an average voice at best. But yes, there are a few very good singers out today.

  • Dusty could wring every single piece of emotion out of a song Her intonation was unique.

  • Like the movie (toast)

  • wow how great is that voice...not how i remember Dusty....from the 60's...may you be blessed my the goddess, where ever u r now........

  • so much pain in her voice. best version ever!

  • My oh my, this video is real good - watching Dusty performed this song... I am still playing Dusty's hits in my car RIP

  • Haley makes you feel her love and pain in her voice. Just give her a few

    years.....and she will be right up with the best of the best! Haley reminds me of Shirley Bassey, Otis Redding, bernadette Peters and Dusty Springfield!

  • Greatest female singer bar none. Her voice is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. Soft and warm and then it's sheer power hits you. Not a modern singer with even one iota of her talent and power

  • a darling woman. she knew how to dance in the streets properly. martha and everybody loved her nae. wonder

  • how to down load this song ?

  • @theXboyboy

    give me ur email i'll send it ;)

  • nice...enjoy hearing it...thanks for uploading

  • Awsome voice, thanks for posting x

  • Amazing!! I really love Dusty Springfield!!

    What ever happened to the talent of singers??

  • soddjobeheppy dawn sadly i did go away

  • She stands alone. A very unique artist. 

  • Most singers strangle this beautiful song to death with hystrionics that are fairly revolting and more appropriate for drag queens from the old days. But Dusty Springfield KNEW how far to go and exactly what a song needed. She always served the material. With this song, as with so many songs she sang, Dusty has few peers. What a gal!

  • @unclealand as timeless and perfect as Peggy Lee, no note wrongly place or oversung.

  • @unclealand ...very nice..although Brenda Lee does an outstanding version as well...thanks....!

  • @unclealand As do you. Nobody sang this song like Dusty. She was in a league of her own

  • So long ago now.....

  • Simply, elegant.

  • sadly, he did go away.......

  • she is the best

  • The best performer for this is, in my opinion, is Eartha Kitt. She´s so full of feeling.

  • @Animalkisser Eartha Kitt is like a poisonous root vegetable, a stump of ginger - she is arsenic

  • @Nicklas4500 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love the way Judith Durham sings this song, but for total performance I give Dusty the nod.

  • the only deppresing love song i absolutely love!

  • chanteuse or rock singer?

  • August "1967" Is When I Lost the Love Of My Life, He Was Drafted. I Cried When I Heard Dusty Sing This Beautiful Song.....

    Aug. "44" Years Later,The "Love Of My Life"

    Is Back In My Life But This Song Still Brings Tears.........

  • world class, aretha franklin, karen carpenter, etta james, dusty springfield

  • very beautiful!

  • Dusty Springfield ... she was really quite good. This particular song is so poignant; it brings tears to my eyes ... sadly, we have all been there.

  • Pure voice. No bullshit technology req'd to boost up the quality of voice like what we have nowadays...all thrash.

  • The best interpretetion I have ever eared in english, she does it "à la Jacques Brel " she is singing very physicaly, with her heart and her body... I like it...

  • "If You Go Away" is a song in English based upon the French song "Ne me quitte pas" (1959), written by Jacques Brel.

    "If You Go Away" is considered a pop standard and has been recorded by many artists, including Greta Keller, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Brenda Lee, Violetta Villas, Shirley Bassey, Daliah Lavi, Marc Almond, Emilíana Torrini, Neil Diamond, Scott Walker, Farhad Mehrad, Dusty Springfield, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Patricia Kaas have also recorded versions of it

    FANTASTIC song ever heard

  • @crazyfaisal2008

    I thought Jacques Brel was Belgian,, wrote his songs in French. and yes this is the best rendition of If You Go Away, a hell-of-a-lot better than Terry Jacks version..

  • NO ONE has done this better than Dusty. God I miss class, intelligence and sophistication in music.

  • the lady is a true legend,,,,considering her inner demons in her early life ,,she overcame it all and became an icon a true musical legend,,

  • J'adore

  • ahhh..lovely

  • C'est la plus jolie version féminine de cette chanson que j'ai pu entendre..!!! Dame Shirley bassey l'interprète aussi très bien (et je suis fan de cette chanteuse); mais ça reste une interprétation "masculine" de cette chanson; alors que Dusty Springfield serait "l'opposé" féminin (l'opposée) de l'interprétation de Jacques Brel.

    On ne peut qu'être sous le charme de cette jolie chanteuse et interprète exceptionnelle.

  • wow!

  • she always has this embraceable look...... damn!!! i love her!!

  • Interesting...but Dame Shrley has the edge on this one... A real Stayer in the world of showbiz 

  • Fabulous! What a star..she has got the resigned yet optimistic tension of the song

  • I have heard many singers sing this song and much as I enjoyed Dusty's rendition...none compare to Bassey

  • Bring good past memory thanks

  • lots of good singers sing this song but she's better than all of them

    even better goddess Bassey

  • amazing version of "ne me quittes pas"

  • A beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady. I will always miss you Dusty.

  • TOAST brought me here! sigh...

  • amazing voice

  • LULU,DUSTY,PETULA WERE ALL PRETTY AND PRETTY SPECIAL

  • @lorofcb2 I'm guessing you haven't heard Scott Walker's version then. Check it out on Youtube

  • @23071957jazzman nope still like this one best after the original

  • @lorofcb2 Fair enough. Love Dusty, but still prefer SW's version of this one.

  • Playe don The Royal last night . The First White Lady of Soul can do no wrong in my book

  • God she is just fantastic. The dynamics of her voice in this performance are out of this world. I'd say this is my favorite female vocal performance ever

  • AWESOME AND PASSIONATE VOICE YOU CANT FIND NOWADAY. ALL WE HEAR IS AMERICAN HIP HOP SHIT .

  • whoo- goosebumps is right

  • Whenever I want to have the feel of Goosebumps tingle all over me, which makes me feel good, I play this song plus, Going Back & You Don't Own Me. I'm 59 now and have had the biggest "Crush" on Dusty since my teens. I'm sure that if you looked up the phrase "Style Personified" there would be a picture from the 60's of Dusty. I am still spellbound by the Voice, the Beauty, the Style & the Grace of this Diva.
