March 4, 200817 yr Has to be Dusty - she had a miles better voice than croaking Annie Lennox. And you list the Tourists with a Dusty cover
March 4, 200817 yr I have a soft spot for that Tourists track as well & Son Of A Preacher Man is well overrated. :P

March 4, 200817 yr I voted for Dusty here....if you were going to use a cover of I Only Want to be With You, why not use the Bay City Rollers cover??? Granted, Bay City Rollers are a sickening sweet glam/pop band from the 70's, but, I like their cover much better....
March 4, 200817 yr Dusty. One of my best friends whom I worked with in the 90's went to school with Dusty! Norma
March 5, 200817 yr Author I voted for Dusty here....if you were going to use a cover of I Only Want to be With You, why not use the Bay City Rollers cover??? Because I truly hate them and have done since I was 5!
March 5, 200817 yr Because I truly hate them and have done since I was 5! well said!...lol... the bcr version of 'i only wanna be with you' was as dire as all their other material.. tbh i dont like the track, and even dusty struggled to make it interesting to me!
March 5, 200817 yr well said!...lol... the bcr version of 'i only wanna be with you' was as dire as all their other material.. tbh i dont like the track, and even dusty struggled to make it interesting to me! Call me old-fashioned! Which you all do already! :lol: But I like Dusty's stuff she did with the Springfields. Norma
March 6, 200817 yr Call me old-fashioned! Which you all do already! :lol: But I like Dusty's stuff she did with the Springfields. Norma think i only know 'island of dreams', which although dated (and rather naff...lol) is a good track! i reckon 60's female artistes best known track are possibly their worst! (i feel a new thread comming on...lol)
March 8, 200817 yr I voted for Dusty here....if you were going to use a cover of I Only Want to be With You, why not use the Bay City Rollers cover??? was there about 5 or six versions of that record that all got to the same number in the charts??? spooky
