Not that I like her but Amy Winehouse could do it,although lately with her publicity maybe not a good idea.

For me Dusty Springfield was the best female british singer. I love her songs and music. She had started out as a member of The Lana Sisters which had Riss Chantelle as the lead singer who later went on to form The Chantelles.

I hope the film does come off as it will give an opportunity for many younger people who perhaps haven't heard of Dusty Springfield to appreciate the fantastic and pure voice Dusty had.

Interesting, that earlier this year on BBC1 Graham Norton presented The One & Only showing the search for the UK’s best tribute act. It showcased the crème de la crème of the UK’s tribute acts as they battle it out for a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform on the stage Legends in Concert in Las Vegas. I was chuffed that Katy Setterfield won as Dusty Springfield.

Yeah but if she acts like a plank, it won't be much use will it?

She is a great singer. Rock Ferry is superb.

As she sounds nothing like Dusty Springfield, Duffy would need lessons to sing like her too. Duffy's sound is more Ronnie Spector with a hint of Lulu.

I'm cautiously excited about the casting of Nicole Kidman. A project like this would benefit from a huge Hollywood star attached to it.

Hopefully they'll use Dusty's recordings and won't be too downbeat.

By the way, to the poster who thought the Springfields had Australian connections, you might be thinking of the Seekers. Tom Springfield, Dusty's brother and band member, went on to write for the Seekers after the Springfields disbanded.

YouTube - The Springfields - Island Of Dreams do that Nicole , I dare you.
