Dusty was a gold mine. Sheena Easton is too.

I wish Dusty were still with us. She was a treasure. I wish Sheena Easton wasn't so lazy with her career and would grace us with more recorded music.

Both had hits about being a floozy "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Sugar Walls"

Something so lovable about Dusty.

I guess the entire planet mentored Sheena Easton. Must be nice.

How could Sheena get on stage night after night and sing a song about a man spending the night inside her pussy? Splenda Walls?

I love Dusty, but this is probably at one of the lowest points of her life and career. It's kind of sad to see. She likely did this for the money.

R9 how in the hell do you know it was her low point? She was being interviewed by the BBC.

It's been documented in several books, R10. She was struggling with depression and addiction. It took her a few more years, and the PSB duet, to really be in a much better space.

One of Dusty's lowest points was going on TV and claiming she was marrying a man, meanwhile she was actually about to have a commitment ceremony in a wedding dress with a studly woman.

This was a low point for Dusty. At this time, her longstanding relationship with Philips/Phonogram ended.

Did any of you watch Sheena's Las Vegas based talk show?

R15 I saw the one she had with Brian McNight in or around 2004 or 2005. She was hilarious about shit.

I enjoy Sheena Easton's TV interviews more than her singing. She had a fun, sparky personality. She brought none of that to her music, where, after her initial Chris Neil period, she mostly vamped it up and... nothing else.

"Strut" is classic, though. Sheena has "Strut" and Branigan has "Self Control."

Sheena was a proficient singer.
Never got a strong sense of her, though.

I always appreciated her versatility as a pop singer. She was able to successfully transform herself from ballads to rock to r&b and dance music styles with ease.

I loved Dusty's virtually unheard album White Heat, where she went all Pat Benetar.

Dusty didn't go all predictable, so not Pat Benatar, no.

I'm surprised you still have a hair left to split, darling.

"White Heat" is Dusty at her most experimental. That ain't splitting hairs. Pat Benatar was Corporate.

Not quite. She tried but she couldn't go as hard as Tina Turner or Etta James.

The Brooks Arthur album was shaping up to be something very special. Dusty's reading of "In The Winter" is superlative.
