2nd March 1999 ..remembering

[Brian]

Tomorrow - 2nd March will be the anniversary of Dusty's passing. ...a day we hoped and prayed would never happen.
We will all remember Dusty in our own way whether it be through the music or personal memories of a lady who touched our hearts, our souls - our lives, and possibly all three.
It's because of this incredible lady we are ALL here with our many friends - real friends who share the same love
If only Dusty knew what she gave us I'm sure she would be proud.
So - let's remember her, but not with too much sadness - let's make it a day of celebration - a celebrationof wonderful memories, wonderful music and of a wondeful human being
DUSTY - WE ALL LOVE YOU - WE ALWAYS WILL

Remembering indeed.

Its nigh on 50 years that I have been listening to Dusty and I will be thinking of her tomorrow.

Remembering her talent, her sense of fun and playing her gift to us all..... her music.

That was really beautiful, Brian. I've kinda been dreading the day, but hoping now that your take on it will help me see it somewhat differently. Last March 2nd I remember going to a Mexican restaurant and drinking 2-3 margaritas to drown my sorrow. This year I'm meeting with my Dusty-fan dissertation advisor: I'll think about finishing that up and really trying to convey our devotion as a way to pay tribute to the great lady.

LOVE YOU DUSTY AND ALWAYS WILL.

If only Dusty knew the effect she would still be having on people's lives, even years on She'll be missed and loved forever through her music
Will be thinking of her tomorrow, as always

In a touch of irony I have laryngitus, and can't speak,...but I can still weep.
This day always sneaks up on me because we celebrate her everyday, and then it's here again.
Dusty we miss you so much.

[daydreamer]

Dusty, I'll always miss you and I'll always listen to your voice....no matter what the day.

A poem I wrote in 1966, aged 17. It appeared in the Dusty fan club newsletter. Only blushing slightly

You said in a Sunday paper you are
Puzzled as to why we made you a star.
On behalf of each and every fan,
I'll try to explain as best I can.
There was something about you that stood out a mile,
It could have been your hair, your eyes or your smile.
Of course, this was before we all heard you sing.
What happened after that, goes without saying.
We laughed over the zany things that you said
And cried when you sang a song that was sad.
Humour, personality, a soul laden voice
Are a few of the reasons you were our choice.
But Dusty, you underestimate your talents by far
For talent is what you've got and that's what makes you a STAR!

As we all know Dusty will never be forgotten by us , her music will always be with us all , so many lovely memories of her, and fans like us .. what more could you ask for...

And a short poem from me too ..

You are to us the rising sun ,
That wakes us from our dreams,
Roses bursting into flower,
Candlelight it seems ,can bring you to us,
Flickering flames,your spirit fills the air,
We would have time turned back for you
To show how much we care...

The wonderful Dusty, who was a great supporter & friend of Motown, went to heaven on this day in 1999. This has been my fav Dusty song since I heard it back in the day. The clip from RSG shows just how natural she was with a great sense of humour. Look out for Paul Howes editor of the 'bible' and of course the bottom pincher! RIP dear Dusty. X

"Morning, such a nice morning
in each flower love
in each love goodness...
Let us sing together

in your beautiful eyes, it is also dawning"...

Raising a glass to Dusty today.

Thanks for all the wonderful things you've brought into my life.

You're a star, and always will be.

[neonouille]

Oh, it's so difficult to find the exact words. I don't know what to say, except those importants words:
Thanks and I love you, Dusty!

[Rob]

I'm remembering Dusty too. Thanks to all for photos, video clips and the lovely poems.

Here's one of my absolute favourite, and one that Nancy caught my eyes watering too (ok crying ) at my first Dusty Day.
