Dusty Springfield

One of the most distinctive blue-eyed soul vocalists to record, Dusty Springfield was gifted with a husky, sensual voice that was cool, spohisticated, and passionate. Her career covered adult pop, Memphis R & B and Motown style soul. Springfield forcefully asserted herself as an artist and personality at a time when women were generally not given much leeway in the music industry. In 1964 she became Britain's most popular female vocalist and her popularity proved durable, as she enjoyed hits in four successive decades.
