She's gay. "The main issue facing Dusty’s career was her continuous struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, along with self harm brought on due to masking several insecurities. At the time, Dusty had never been reported to be in a heterosexual relationship so questions of her sexuality started to come about. In the 1960s and 1970s, homosexuality wasn’t very accepted by society by any means and Dusty was in constant fear of losing her career due to being outed as a lesbian. This fear and constant struggle continued to lead her down a dark path, causing her to be hospitalized several times. However, eventually Dusty decided to just accept and embrace her sexuality. In 1970 she admitted to being in a domestic partnership with fellow singer-songwriter, Norma Tanega."

Dusty was a trailblazer during the apartheid era in the 60s she was booked for performances in South Africa , she was promised she would play to a mixed audience. When she arrived there the South African government said it would be white only audiences. She refused to play and returned immediately to the Uk . She openly supported black acts. Her voice was full of soul. I would recommend her track The Look of Love it's sexy sultry and sublime

"Son of a Preacher Man" was offered initially to Aretha Franklin because the song's writers thought it suited her sound and the fact that her father was a Minister. Aretha turned the song down because she thought it was disrespectful to her father. It was then suggested that Britain’s Dusty Springfield would be ideal. Dusty was in the States recording her album Dusty In Memphis, so they contacted her and she travelled to New York to hear and then record the song.

She was famous for her heavy eye make up, but always claimed that was because her eyesight was so poor. She was also gay, but didn’t come out until much later in her career.

In 1987, the Pet Shop Boys brought Dusty Springfield back from obscurity with a song they had written to be a duet between them and her. She agreed to record it and "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" went to number two becoming the second biggest song of her career after her chart-topping "You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me" in 1966. The two follow-ups, "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private," both written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe (ie, the Pet Shop Boys), both reached the UK top 20.

Elvis had cut " Suspicious Minds " and " In the Ghetto " there in those sessions. The " Sweet Inspirations ", Elvis's female backing group from 1969-77 also provided the backing sound on Dusty's Album ... as you might know, one of the group at that time was Cissie Houston, mother of Whitney. Neil Diamond's " Sweet Caroline " was recorded there in the same time period ... as you say, there was definitely something in the water in Memphis at that time ...

Dusty Springfield’s career began with the pop vocal trio the Lana Sisters before winding up with the folk/country trio The Springfields, featuring her brother Tom Springfield and Tim Feild. Already a huge success in the UK, the Springfields landed in the U.S. Top 20 in 1962 with "Silver Threads and Golden Needles.” While touring in the states, Dusty Springfield developed a great appreciation for the then-emerging Motown sound and American R&B. So strong was this music’s influence on her that she decided to leave the Springfields to pursue a solo career the following year, with her subsequent output from 1963 to 1968 embracing a gorgeous mix of ‘60s girl group pop and Blue-eyed soul. Hits from this time include "I Only Want to Be With You", "Spooky", "Wishin' and Hopin'", "I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", "Goin' Back" and "The Look of Love". She was an Absolute Star!!! 🤩

I’m 43 and I’ve heard this a few times in my life. You don’t forget that hook. I too thought it was a black woman. It just has that soul sound to it. Great reaction. God bless y’all.

Makes me giggle when I think of what your reaction was when not only was she white but British to boot! Same as my mom... terrific vocalist that everyone thought was black - she could kill jazz and blues. Unfortunately my mum passed away in 1980 at age 47. We were living in Las Vegas at the time and she could have gone so far. Miss her unbelievably... thank you for this little peek into the past for me and love your appreciation of it.😊
