In March 1999, Dusty was scheduled to go to Buckingham Palace to receive an OBE (Order of the British Empire) for "services to popular music". Due to the recurrence of her breast cancer, officials of Queen Elizabeth II gave permission for the medal to be collected earlier, in January, and it was presented to Springfield in hospital with a small group of friends and relatives attending. She died on the day that she would otherwise have collected her award from the Palace.

Dusty still is my all time favourite female singer from the sixties. However please check out Shirley Bassey singing The Living Tree live at Royal Variety. It's on you tube and it really is a performance no one should miss. Even more amazing is that she was well into her sixties when she performed it.

Dusty Springfield had an amazing voice. She rose to fame in the 60s with hits like "I Only Want to Be With You", "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Wishin' and Hopin'". She wasn't as successful in the 1970s. In 1987 she shot back up the charts with her collaboration with Pet Shop Boys "What Have I Done to Deserve This" which revitalized her career. It's a song you should check out. Unfortunately she left us in 1999 at the age of just 59. RIP Dusty.

Dusty heard the original Italian at a Italian music festival and was reportedly moved to tears despite not understanding Italian. She asked a music producer to write an English language version. That producer and another friend wrote the verses in an hour before a night on the town and the chorus in the cab on the way there. Dusty recorded her vocals the next day but wasn't happy with the acoustics of the studio so she recorded it in a stairwell. She wasn't happy with her vocals until 47 takes!

You just need to hear Dusty in the 80s when she was featured by Pet Shop Boys in What Have I Done to Deserve this? Neil Tennant, who was the lead singer for PSB had loved Dusty as a teen, and always wanted to record with her. By the 80s, she was totally down and out, no career, I think drug problems, and by putting her in a PSB song revived her career. Then the week when she was to be inducted in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in the late 90s, she died a few days prior to induction.

Amber, you are right on the money. Our Dusty was a pure perfectionist. She was indeed one of the most soulful singers to come out of the UK. This song was adapted from the original Italian version. Dusty’s recording label spared no expense. The 1966 recording remains state of the art and spectacular. My mother had this 45 rpm record; the B side being Dusty’s interpretation of Carole King’s “Goin’ Back.” Carole stated that Dusty’s version was her favorite even though I am partial to Carole’s version. You mentioned “Son of a Preacher Man” which is from the legendary album “Dusty in Memphis.” I’m not sure which song to recommend next from her. She was everywhere. “I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten” is a good one. I can’t remember if you reviewed Burt Bacharach’s “Wishin’ and Hopin’” which was also a huge hit for her. Of course there’s always her breakout hit “I Only Want to Be With You.”
