Black british soul singer?

[styley]

We were talking earlier and I claimed that Dusty Springfield was a black british soul singer. I've since been proved wrong. But who am I thinking of? I see this black, I'm pretty sure british singer, who I see wearing a sparkly dress and I've seen her on tv. Who is she?

[styley]

Ah come on please, I'm dying here.

Which era, 70s, 80s, 90s Young, old, soul, Motown style, reggae?

[vodkancoke]

The only one I can think of is Shirley Bassey, she's forever in sparkly dresses!

[vodkancoke]

I don't know if she would be classed as a "soul singer" though :s

[styley]

Shirley Bassey is white. At a guess I'd say 80's and definately not 90's.

[erin-x]

"Shirley Bassey is white".... Oh dear!!

[MarkRae]

> Shirley Bassey is white

Falls off chair...

[MarkRae]

Pattti Boulaye, maybe...?

[vodkancoke]

White? Seriously? Ok, Sade? Again, not sure if she is classed as soul. The other could be Gabrielle?

For heaven's sake styley - go on google or something - (mutters to self, Dusty Springfield black and Shirley Bassey white, whatever next?)

osama bin laden was a devout christian.....

for some reason i think this question has been asked before, some time back, as i remember same wording, seems odd that anyone would think Shirley Bassey white, and not know that dusty springfield is white.

Going a little further back - Madeline Bell (Blue Mink) went kinda solo soul?

[starone]

I checked em and styley is legitimate, he is not a troll. Unless of course someone else has discovered how to get in to his profile and use his name..

Just realised it is New Year's Day and of course everyone has been celebrating. And you styley?
