I have been in love with Dusty Springfield
FOREVER!!

She did the big band sound in the late 50's and early 60's. I loved her voice. Actually, I play this song on the guitar. AND, ironically the first ever "official lesbian" album - which was by Alix Dobkin... Alex recorded this song on.
AND... why is that ironic, you ask? Well, because you all KNOW that Dusty finally admitted that she loved women, right? She lived most of her life in England. I wonder WHO the lucky lady - or butch was!!! (Or women...?)
I was very saddened when I heard that we had lost Dusty.

OK, another trivia question: What WAS the title of the very first recognized
lesbian recorded album? (i.e. Women singing love songs to women - no hiding here!) This is an easy find.
I'm just curious to see if anyone cares to look it up! WINK...
