Epic ❤

Well, we were doing this oriental number and I looked like Anna May Wong. I had these two great big chrysanthemums on either side my head and a huge headdress with gold balls hanging all over it. I was going on for the finale and going down the stairs and who should I see standing by the stage door ... my parents. They got there too early. I freaked. I didn't know what to do. I thought to myself : "I know, I'll just walk quickly past them like all the others and they'll never recognize me." So I took a deep breath and started down the stairs and just as I passed my mother I heard her say : "Oh, my God." Well... I died. But what could I do? I had to go on for the finale so I just kept going. After the show I went back to my dressing room and after I'd finished dressing and taking my makeup off, I went back down stairs. And there they were standing in the middle of all these ... And all they said to me was please write, make sure you eat and take care of yourself. And just before my parents left, my father turned to the producer and said : "Take care of my son..."; That was the first time he ever called me that.

Wow. She reminds me of Bett Davies😀😀

Brilliant ❤

❤❤❤

She had a great voice and fabulous delivery. I believe this was her second album with George Shearing!! I met her many years later at a show she did in Manhattan. She was very nice!!!!

I've watched this countless times and am crying again

Easily one of the great singers we ever had. Thank you Sarah

As a guy who seen the show many times, you knocked it out of the park, amazing!!! 💖

Дасти лучшая... Покойся с миром, неповторимая и уникальная певица... 🙏

Покойся с миром, Дасти... ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

LEGEND

I met her a few times and heard her sing several times, always in an intimate setting. A lovely lady and a class act.

1:54 that Catholic guilt is ubiquitous! It's normal. It means you have a conscience.

Me encanta

Is the speaker Carmen McRae?

Saw her perform this at Chicago’s Gold Star Sardine Bar in the mid-80s. The stage was only a step up from us, and barely big enough for Ms. Wilson, Mr. Roy and the piano. She was a couple of feet away from me. She signed my Sondheim CD after removing her high heels and relieving her bunions. A few years later she was nursing a drink downstairs at Eighty-Eights in the Village and we talked for a bit. Then we went upstairs to hear…I don’t recall! She was gracious to a fault.

Maravillosa

She's turns a wonderful witty song into a mean, poisonous drama. This is nasty. And not good.

Love her, sad she's gone...

God bless dear Betty Buckley! Magical! Xxxooo

I might have seen this live. Larry King did a whole series of Saturday night broadcasts on musical theater in the 90s. I watched them with my parents.

WOW

A beauty to the end. Excellent delivery!!!

Gebet und diese Musik sind eins. Das innigsten Gebet ist das hörende Gebet, das zuhört, was Gott sagt. Der schweigende, hörende Kommentar.

O buddy... even though I understood nothing on the words but you touched my soul there with that master piece of yours. Bless!

One of the best songsters of the 1960s

Just love this women and her style of music 🎼 back in the day Ella Sarah Nancy and now days Ms Baker Chaka K skating is black women ‘s way of really feeling the music 🎵 and I got to agree yes 🙌 indeed

Gorgeus!

What an honor to have Elaine record this and share this with the world. A thrill!

The guitar 🎸 work in this song is so beautiful and the song also amazing. I've listened to it so often that I know all the lyrics now and sing along with James Taylor whenever I need cheering up!

I saw the original cast twice on Broadway. Thanks for this.

Gloria Lynn Sings the Hell Out of This Song!!!! Sorry Randy

Oh wow. That was spectacular. I think that topples Stritch’s version for the best interpretation. I’m speechless.

Beautiful simply beautiful! Watching this brings back wonderful memories.

" Gay Icon?" As if "GAYS" are Happy? As if "Feminists" are feminine? As if "Antifa" is anti-fascist. Don't you love it when the LEFT took over language and twisted to mean exactly the opposite. They take, the alphabet peoples and the free masons, take ownership of popular culture and celebraties but no personal responsibility for their " lifestyle" and in the end they blame society for their misfortune and suffering. Dusty was martyred by the LGBTQ2+ and they did not helped her in the end when she was sniffing cocaine in the late 70' s in LA and after that flat broke when she returned to England living in a country cottage dying of breast cancer. It is her blood family that looked after her.

Magical everlasting song

I have the whole concert on vhs. 56 minutes.

Recorded 1946 not 48

I would like to propose a toast....

Why that translation?

Was it so important she was lesbian?i would have prefered documentary talked especially much more her carrier and her vocal range and tongue

This is only a very brief excerpt - the whole thing is available on here.

Hi everyone. Late to the Hugh Shannon roller coaster.. Can see not much playback material laid down from his halcyon days. Guess the idea of him moving around Capri and France and swank rooms is a dream of an idea. Maybe there is a book? Maybe there should be! There should be a bio pic! Thanks Hugh

She recorded some good stuff in the 70's: great versions of Van Morrison's 'Tupelo Honey' & David Gates' 'Other side of life,' both from the excellent Cameo album. Then she recorded 'I'd rather leave while I'm in love' before Rita Coolidge, who had the hit, with a more commercial arrangement. I never heard Dusty give a bad performance.

EN ESPAÑOL: Estábamos haciendo este número así como Oriental y te juro que me parecía a Cyd Charisse... ¡No! A Ana May Wong, Anna May Wong... Tenía estos dos pares de crisantemos gigantes a cada lado de mi cabeza... Este precioso sombrero de copa con joyas colgando... Bueno; Me clasificaron para la final... Estaba bajando las escaleras y no podía creer a quién veían mis ojos, apoyándose en la puerta de entrada a bambalinas... Mis padres. Llegaron demasiado pronto, entré en pánico, no sabía que hacer ¿sabes? Así que pensé, no se, sigue caminando... Pasa por su lado al igual que el resto y tal vez no te reconozcan... Respiré profundamente un par de veces... bajé las escaleras y justo cuando paso por el lado de mi madre la escucho decir "madre del amor hermoso"... Ahí es cuando yo me desmorono. ¿Qué podía hacer en ese momento? Tenía que llegar al escenario para el espectáculo, así que pasé de largo completamente. Después del show, fui al camerino y una vez había acabado de cambiarme y desmaquillarme bajé las escaleras de nuevo. Y allí estaban. De pie. Esperando entre toda esta gente que... (CORTA) Lo único que me dijeron fue "asegúrate de comer bien" "y cuida de ti mismo". justo antes de irse, mi padre se dirigió al productor y le dijo "cuida a mi niño" (llanto) (Llanto) Es la primera vez que me llamaba así. (LLORA DURANTE 20 segundos)

Oh my gosh, this is beautiful

Diva Divine Marvelous
