Pet Clark always wanted to sing with her and a couple of years ago Dusty's recording manager phoned Petula with a half finished track, and asked her to put on a harmony, sing a line here or there, and add the customary Petula Clark, "yeah" where appropriate. I don't think I have ever heard such a fusion of voices as on "Corner of the Sky"; two ladies with soul. Oh if they could have toured together!
Sad that the breast cancer was to return and eventually kill her. But atta girl! You battled it longer than most, and your legacy will endure forever.
I read somewhere that at the end of Dusty's funeral service her coffin was carried out of the church accompanied by her version of Carole King's 'Going Back'. The whole congregation stood up and warmly applauded her. It must have been quite a moment.
Dusty is much missed but she left a great legacy of music for us to enjoy, always.
Dusty's story is pretty sad. But that's the price of stardom. Just think if the media hadn't hounded her, but it was a double edged sword she was dealing with. On one hand you're a vivacious, beautiful woman singing songs about a man in your life, but there's no man and that seems a bit peculiar, and the media go after it like sharks on a feeding frenzy. Then she goes away, comes back and everyone wants to know where she's been. I hate "music journalists", what a crummy lot.

oh, I got teary-eyed, especially when Dusty spoke directly to the camera between 4:10-4:20.
what a class act. And a tremendous voice.
I don't think we'll see her likes again...
