Why not?
This one is more difficult as they are BOTH so good, but 'Say I won't be there' just has the edge for me.

Love them both but I have to go with Island Of Dreams, especially when they sing it in German.

Island of Dreams first got me interested in Dusty so it probably is just my favourite out of the 2.

But I also like her solo bit in Say I Won't Be There!!

Much as I love them both, it has to be "Say I Won't be There" because that is the song that made me the lifetime Dusty fan that I am.

Every time I hear it, even now, it reminds me of the start of that great musical (and emotional) journey through the years that Dusty has given me.

I still feel the thrill in the middle 8 solo part that chilled me to the bones when I was hardly a teenager - what other singer could leave you with such a lasting memory?

The love I have for the lady knows no bounds.

I love them both equally, but if I have to decide I'll go for 'Say I won't be there' purely coz I love the orchestral intro, and the quirky orchestral bit in the middle!
