Die Psalter Salomo’s (1871)

When shy convent girl Mary Oâ
Brien reinvented herself as Dusty Springfield, one of the most glamorous, accomplished and acclaimed pop divas of the 1960s was born. Dustyâ s career began with the Lana Sisters, and continued with folk group the Springfields before her first solo success in 1963 with the unforgettable â I Only Want To Be With Youâ . Subsequent hits included the classics â I Just Donâ t Know What To Do With Myselfâ , â You Donâ t Have To Say You Love Meâ
and â Son-of-a Preacher Manâ . Dusty slipped into obscurity in the 1970s, but re-emerged in 1987 to enjoy new success duetting with the Pet Shop Boys. She lost her long battle with cancer in 1999, just short of her sixtieth birthday. Drawing on meticulous archive research and interviews with Dustyâ s friends and collaborators, Paul Howes details every song in Dustyâ s entire catalogue. This revised edition of The Complete Dusty Springfield includes new chapters on the Lana Sisters and the Springfields, expanded entries on Dustyâ s solo tracks and an in-depth analysis of Dustyâ s live work for TV and radio.
