Dusty Springfield in depth interview with interruptions by French & Saunders! Contributions from Martha Reeves, Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach , Neil Tennant etc.
Around 15.30, talking about your South Africa tour, you say all you did was make things worse . Not for this young boy you didnt. You made the World better. I was thrilled and deeply proud of you. And I still am.
She had an incredible voice but for some reason there always seemed to be a veil around her which made her distant. Baby Blue is one of the greatest dance records ever!
There is no part 2 I did search for conclusion and 2nd part! it may be need reposting. I cannot find the part 2 anywhere Actually the Mezzoman Acount hasn't posted since 2018! Shame I wonder if part 2 will ever resurface, or stay lost like so many music related videos that dissapeer of youtube forever. Does anyone have the full documentry?
Just as this video/doc started going there was a bad bit of cutting and then halfway through Martha Reeves and the CUT! Great editing really great editing..NOT!
French & Saunders interviewing her were her idea...she wanted it to be a lighthearted look back at her career..she guest appeared on their show a year later in a very funny sketch....French & Saunders playing gay male hairdressers..who again don't recognise her first thing...they got her to wear the blond 60s wig in that sketch..
I love Dusty...but, ironically, she is talking about fighting against discrimination in South Africa and calls it 'the musicians union in England' - its for all the UK, not just England!
Dusty was light years ahead of the rest of her competition. This is qyite painful to watch french and Saunders never as funmy as they thoight they were
