Dusty left us 10 years ago on March 2, 1999, and yet there isn’t a day goes by without her voice soaring over the airwaves in radio or television. Her music is as alive as it was on the day it was recorded.

She is still a hot property in the industry. There are currently 2 different DVDs in production celebrating her life and music, there is a tribute album by some of the young female stars of today about to be released, a West End bio-musical is in preperation, and the bookshops have 3 current titles devoted to the first lady of British music. In a few weeks her fans from all over the World will gather in London to celebrate the 10th Dusty Day.

Remember her today in your own way. Play her music, and give thanks for a gift that is certain to live on forever.

Dusty tribute from BBC radio Manchester March 2 20:00-21:00, and for one week afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
