Dusty Springfield is one of my favorite singers. I love to belt it out along with her. Soundtrackers inspired me to get this CD of some of the songs that I love.

Dusty Springfield was gay in a time when that wasn't an easy thing. She also went out of her way to help singers from Motown to get attention, perform and be recognized in England and Europe via her BBC TV show. This was in a time when Civil Rights were not a given in the United States, but things were more that way in Europe and England. She still was a pioneer who paid it forward by helping others who were great talents. I am going to read a book about her life.

Her real name was Mary O'Brien, so she could be a relative of mine through marriage. I think her singing is wonderful and her talent is legendary.

I Only Want to Be With You, Wishin and Hopin, Stay a While, The Look of Love.

listen to more of her music so I ordered another CD, but I don't have it yet. I also got a used book about her life.

I love to sing along with it. My voice is a cross between hers and Cher's sometimes off key. But I can keep up with her and I like to listen while I drive.
