West Hampstead, England (1939 – 1999)
Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien was born in West Hampstead, England to an Irish family, and was raised in the West London borough of Ealing. The name “Dusty” was given to her when she was a child, as she had been a tomboy in her early years. Dusty was brought up listening to a wide range of music, George Gershwin, Rogers and Hart, Rogers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, among others. She was a fan of American Jazz and the music of Peggy Lee, with a desire to sound like her. Her tax consultant father used to tap out rhythms on the back of her hand, encouraging young Dusty to guess the musical piece. At age 11, Dusty went into a local record shop in Ealing and made her first record, the Irving Berlin song “When The Midnight Choo Choo Leaves For Alabam”
