Remembering Dusty Sprinfield on Her Birthdate

in the beginning

'wishin and hopin'

'i only want to be with you'

'you don't have to say you love me'

'how can i be sure'

'son of a preacher man'

'the windmills of your mind'

dusty's renaissance happened when she joined forces with 'the pet shop boys'

'arrested by you'

'in private'

'reputation'

'nothing has been proved'

dusty certainly passed too young but she did pass on top

Song of the Day: 'Eternally'

'eternally' was written by charlie chaplin for the film 'limelight' and was recorded by petula clark at his request as she had already had a hit recording with his 'love this is my song' from his film 'a countess of hong kong'.

'Limelight' is a 1952 comedy-drama film written, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, co-starring Claire Bloom, with an appearance by Buster Keaton.  it's film score was composed by Chaplin as well as this theme song.

The film was released with much scandal, as it was while touring to support the film that Chaplin was refused re-admittance to the United States, which was in its intolerant McCarthyist phase. The film was subsequently passed over by many theaters. In 1972, the film was given a wide U.S. release and honored at the Academy Awards.

today i dedicate the song to jill clayburgh. it is a fitting and personal tribute to her from me her biggest fan
