Dorothy Squires

[Thorneycroft1937]

Another welsh vocalist, Shirley Bassey, recorded the second song, as well!

Dorothy should have been a bigger star like Shirley, i'm sure she inspired Shirley!

[davidwalsh66]

this was the record that kick started the second great phase of dots career.from the success of this she gained the confidence to book those legendary PALLADIUM concerts. the rest as they say is history.

Dot was absolutely great. Thank you for keeping the legend alive. Never forgotten, Dot ... love you

About time we had Dot on here. I compiled the cd The Unforgettable Dot Squires which you have used at the start at this video thanks to you for posting this on here hope we can get more of the fab Dorothy.

[LaurieLaRe]

Thank you so much for posting this! Ive been checking everytime I visit You tube for "Dot" and at last a fitting tribute to simply the best performer.

I have some video footage of Dorothy in the 70's which Id love to post when I work out how to!

Thanks again

[Cartier6]

I quite agree with Philjon she was a legend if you ever get to see tv footage of the great lady you will see where Dame Shirley gets her emmotions from.she truly was fantastic can we have some more please.

[philjon]

brilliant can we have more, i saw this woman sing live many times she was very emotional on stage once you've seen a dorothy squires concert you were hooked for life

[IFINEVERSING]

@philjon I was lucck to see her live between 1973 and 1990, was at her last ever concert at Brighton, a great star who deserved wider success but it seems was sometimes her own worst enemy but then it was that spirit and passion that tore into audiences hearts, she remains for me one of the greats as an entertainer amongst Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Vic Damone, dame Shirley Bassey etc, I wish her `lost` Glasgow recording could be traced and `Old Rowley` show produced. Bravo Dorothy!
