A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dusty Springfield made her name in the 60s with a string of top ten hits. Her unique singing style and distinctive bouffant blonde look made her famous throughout the world. Despite a period in the wilderness during the 70s and 80s, she was back at the top in the 90s until her death from cancer in March l999.

Born an Irish Catholic in l939, her background set her almost schizophrenically at odds with herself as she realised her sexuality and moved further into the rock world. Both Penny Valentine and Vicki Wickham knew Dusty well, as friend and manager for much of her career. As well as charting her gay relationships, this book also looks candidly at the period of her greatest self-destruction while living in Los Angeles in the 80s. Covering every area of her career with honesty and affection, Dusty is brought vividly to life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dusty Springfield made her name in the 60s with a string of top ten hits, including 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me' and 'The Look of Love' . Her unique singing style and distinctive bouffant look made her famous throughout the world. Despite a period in the wilderness during the 70s and 80s, she was back at the top in the 90s until her death from cancer in March l999.

She was born in London in l939 - an Irish Catholic, convent-educated girl. It was a background which was to set her almost schizophrenically at odds with herself as she realised her sexuality and moved further into the rock world. Both Penny Valentine and Vicki Wickham knew Dusty well - Vicki was Dusty's friend and manager for much of her career - and together with the cooperation of Dusty's closest family and friends they tell her true story for the first time.
