DUFFEMS Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Your right DUFFEMS and she is still going strong in the u.s She certainly had a very distinctive voice. She must be in her late 60's now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yes i thought she was one of the best i think she would be about 66-67 and still singing country, having said that though Helen Shapiro has only a few years ago stopped touring and singing big band stuff, "they dont last that long these days".

Bakerlite Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Helen was good but Dusty was better just had that certain something. I too love Tapestry by Carole King. For sheer raunchiness has to be Tina Turner. Love " You're Simply The Best " Brings back so many memories!!!. Going now before I get too sentimental!!

carlmarksIII Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Dusty's real name was Mary O'Hara and she played with her brother and a friend in the Springfields trio. They were very good, I remember 'Island of Dreams' in 1962/63 and 'Silver Threads and Golden Needles'. Then she left them to go solo, went blonde and had a big hit with 'I Only Want to be with You' amongst others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Can't say I was ever very keen on Dusty, Petula Clark or Marianne Faithful to be honest. I got my kicks mostly listening to Helen, Julie Rogers and Kathy Kirby whilst looking at magazine pictures of them. Mind you, in Helen's case it was more the voice than the looks I went for. Halcyon days ...... sigh!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I remember seeing Helen Shapiro at the Sheffield Lyceum just before it closed - around 1968? She was in a play entitled 'It's never too late'. Also in the cast were David Kossof and McDonald Hobley (older members will remember them). Also in the cast was Jean Fergusson who plays Marina in 'Last of the Summer Wine'. Jean was in rep at Chesterfield a couple of years later and I saw all the productions she appeared in.
