Publisher Description

The story of pop legend Dusty Springfield from the people who knew  her, from her troubled childhood to 60s mod queen and enduring music  icon. 


Dusty Springfield was one of our greatest pop singers.  From 60s hits like ‘I Only Want to be With You’, ‘Son of a Preacher  Man’ and ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me’ to her 80s collaboration  with the Pet Shop Boys and beyond, she was a musical pioneer and the very essence of authentic white soul. A member of the US Rock and Roll and UK Music Halls of Fame, international polls have named Dusty   among the best female pop artists of all time.


Twenty-five years after her passing, she continues to fascinate and inspire. This classic biography is based on over forty-five original interviews  with close friends and people who worked with her, including Sir Tom  Jones, Lulu, legendary arranger Ivor Raymonde, and the late, great  Atlantic Records trio, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin, with whom  she recorded her classic album Dusty In Memphis


The book fully explores her life and legacy,  from a troubled Home Counties childhood to 60s mod queen and solo star,  to her struggles with addiction and mental health issues, to her status  as an influential LGBT heroine and enduring pop icon.
