Description

Not long after Dusty Springfield (1939-99) began singing in the heart of London during the Swinging Sixties, Rolling Stone called her “Britain’s best ever pop singer.” Springfield was a popular singer of blue-eyed soul, pop, chanson, country, and jazz during a career spanning five decades. After working with a trio, she made it to the big time with solo hits like “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” and “Son of a Preacher Man.”
