Dusty Springfield - A Gay Icon - Documentary

[@dyannel.551]

Her private life is hers to keep. The media just don’t want to leave her alone!!! She is a great singer and a beautiful person inside and out. Love you Dust!!! The world miss you!!❤️❤️❤️!!!!

[@Nana91171]

What Dusty did behind closed doors was/still is her own private business. Considering that fact that she's deceased, it's wrong to disrespect her. Dusty Springfield had a magnificent voice, had a good sense of humor, and very pretty. These are her attributes of which she ought to be remembered. She was 'the package!' *~Peace~*

[@dustyspringfieldfan1939]

Dusty said herself 'I hate people who try to categorise me' and it's sad that people in these comments are doing exactly that, how hurtful this must be if Dusty was reading these comments. R.I.P Mary O'Brien

[@stephenfermoyle1498]

i never knew she was whatever she was..i thought she just had such an amazing voice and style

[@taralang8854]

She was a great singer who care what she did in here private life . why make a issue of it

[@pamfoster8781]

Too much is made of her sexuality,just listen to her,the greatest singer we have ever had.

[@darthtrip7188]

There's plenty of singers better than Dusty Springfield..like Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Etta James, Elvis, etc etc...

[@annekay9153]

@@darthtrip7188 since where were any of them from the UK. Read before you foist a whole bundle of YANKS on us.

[@bettymartinez7027]

Her business. She is truly a beautiful lady in every way.

[@oskakoala2]

Crickey I never even Knew she was a "Gay Icon" let alone gay not that that mattered .... I remember her for her great singing.

[@annaritaranalli2902]

Me too

[@FriendofDorothy]

I just thought of her as an elegant and powerful singer, like an English version of Dionne Warwicke. Her appearance was not that unlike many female singers of her era. And her sexuality only burdened her personally and threatened her career because her main success was in the '60s, a time in which the squares and morality police pushed back against the peacenik stoners. By the late '70s it would not have been so big a deal. I am not a drinker anymore but I always want to have a cocktail or glass of champagne when I hear "The Look of Love" but my fave is the Burt Bacharach magic of "Wishin' and Hopin'".

[@weirdalfan1980]

I wouldnt remeber Dusty because of her sexuality, I remeber her for her talent.

[@clydesmith8200]

I Love Dusty...To me she's a lady and will always be remembered as a super 🌟❤❤

[@dustyspringfieldfan1939]

I agree with your comment completely😁

[@paulmc5542]

Leave her sexuality alone the best singer in the world by far

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I knew she was lesbian 12 years after her death,even also because I don't think most of people care if you are gay,bisex or not.she was a good vocalist and period

[@VeStran]

Абсолютно верно!

[@jadaparks2564]

A beautiful talent of voice & music. You are missed.

[@ChetLindsay]

Dusty had some of the greatest pop/soul songs ever written. And, what a voice!!!

[@GuinnevereB]

A tortured genius like Dusty may appeal the most to gay fans, but anyone who doesn't appreciate her just a little bit would have to be tone deaf. She was a great singer, a great beauty, and I'll never forget her. Her songs were part of the background of my girlhood.

[@SmilingNJGirl]

That was a time and place when sexuality was a covert conversation. In a heavy Catholic situation, sexuality is a bad thing, and "naughty". Thus, in our society, if you aren't with a manm, then you must be with a woman. So unfair and incorrect. Dusty was a great person and singer, and God bless her resting soul.

[@willybasco1494]

SO WHAT !!! To me she is one of the greatest singers we ever had, a rare talent.

[@dyannel.551]

Becky Lewis, It was in the 60’s , 70’s... It was a taboo then... but this time around, it would be different.

[@vanillaaahh1]

I think its cool that she was bisexual I can relate to her more now. Most artists are bisexual so that they see beauty in everything around them. I think she had enormous talent, I didn't realise until today just how many songs I loved from listening to them on here. So so impressive, I think probably the best female voice Ive ever heard. So much respect for her.

[@nadinebrown7644]

Rachael Cox except she was purely lesbian, she wasn't one of these sad pathetic bisexual women who leave a woman for a man. She's was married to a woman

[@nicolezara1]

nadine brown that’s biphobic as fuck

[@billybronco4223]

You didn't need to be gay to appreciate the talent of this lady. She was a talented artist and a world class singer.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

And a gorgeous lady

[@Scramblelove]

Straight, gays, blacks, browns... we are all God's children. Dusty certainly was His favorite singer!

[@sachadevon2705]

Well Saïd I agree

[@holagente5614]

Yes well said. She had God given talent for sure

[@petesmart1983]

God dosent excist and homophobia is caused by relgion

[@bradly2007]

Sad when anyone has to struggle with worrying about what people think, Dusty in a time when being brave causes her a silent radio ban in the US, should have never happened but it did...right in the middle of a hit "A Brand New Me" the hits stopped, watched it happen and was disgusted by it...not until Pet Shop Boys did the great singer get airplay on US radio, one of the greatest ever Dusty was a rare talent who goes on and appreciated more than ever...RIP Special Lady

[@Mrcheshunt]

We will remember Dusty as an all time great! Full stop.

[@rvbvbaservices]

Never stop remember Dusty...

[@rdo1231]

she was pure legend

[@Jimdust69]

God also never intend to make a hater like you. In fact He love her as much, gave her an angel like voice that touches many hearts. A lot of most talented artists are gay such as Dusty, Elton, Freddie, etc. So take it or leave it whether you like it or not.

[@nadinebrown7644]

Elton Johns "all the young girls love Alice" is about Dusty

[@EHYHDY]

Really????????

[@EHYHDY]

I love that song?

[@EHYHDY]

How do you know?

[@zuzualma1]

[@raylopez7622]

One of my favorite singers of all time

[@ndog2005]

Dusty was & remembered as the Greatest singer, a Real Diva, her private life is just that, Private;

[@pattiherf6246]

FABULOUS SINGER..WHAT BUSINESS IS HER PERSONAL LIFE TO ANYONE BUT HER ...SHE SANG RIGHT TO YOU !!!

[@frankieturner630]

I love to hear Dusty Springfield sing but my favorite song is the one that she does with the Pet Shop Boys called what have I done to deserve this

[@randyhenry2477]

Son of a Preacherman belonged on Hee Haw. But I Only Want to be with You is a rock classic of classics.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

A pop classic in my opinion

[@annaritaranalli2902]

She was a good singer and period

[@VeStran]

Да !

[@biav]

viva dusty!!!

[@annaritaranalli1791]

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

[@nicolezara1]

The biphobia in this comment section is horrendous U people should be ashamed

[@microbios8586]

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

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I hate word "icon",however she was not a gay icon but a talent's icon

[@OasisJones]

Don’t diminish the idea of a gay icon just because it makes you uncomfortable, she IS a gay icon and there’s nothing wrong with word “icon”. Get the fuck over yourself.

[@annaritaranalli2902]

I'm.not interested if she was bisex or not,i'm interested in her huge talent

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Why that translation?

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I repeat she was best thing when she went to live in u.s.a if british tabloids never left alone

[@petesmart1983]

She was hounded by American journalist not British journalist

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I didn't know

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I repeat again ,she was a good singer and a.musician too...that is important

[@drummerkid71]

Every single newspaper ad was from a tabloid .......you decide.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Her private life was and is het business

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Her

[@evanlanctot323]

It's irrelevant----& she WAS apparently bisexual(so what).

[@joyceconklin4596]

Evan Lanctot ill always love her her voice drives me crazy bring back memories being in Danny's in New York heating het sing spooky. Danny's gone n so is she but ill love her till the day I die that's how much I love her

Lebanese women have a tough time in the west.

[@lemontarsier]

Gee, does god make hateful bigots?

[@mariannemesser1218]

❤️😸🏳️‍🌈

[@sfgiantpoet]

i never knew. but she certainly believed the lie. she tried to come closer to God to find the answer she prolly never got toher satisfaction. god never makes gays, not ever.

[@carolesearfoss1955]

I always loved her singing, still love hearing hers songs don't really care what she did, her business, she was a great women.

[@jimtruscott5670]

jim smith You are FOS.

[@anthonyotoole867]

i mean I've never gave a crap if she was gay or she had gay following. just listen to dusty in Memphis. she could sing the phone book it would sound amazing she was the best my friends.

[@katierear8113]

What makes you so positive that in creating a human being that sometimes there is other under lying factors that will eventually show up to alter some ones genetic code. And why on earth does it matter when we are talking about the best soul singer ever to cross our path! That's all that should matter!

[@rosmia2]

She was not a lesbian.

[@nadinebrown7644]

rosmia2 she was. She married another woman

[@nadinebrown7644]

Sweetpea she didn't just live with another woman,she marries that woman. And every last lover she had was a woman

[@patmcnicol31]

She was without doubt the best female singer ever so forget her sexuality a true legend.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

She can sing and play instruments...that is most important thing...but unfortunately famous people 's sexuality was very important for bigots people

[@OasisJones]

@@patmcnicol31No we’re not forgetting her sexuality because it clearly makes you uncomfortable, it was a huge part of who she was and how it shaped her artistry.
