Dusty Springfield Artist Snapshot:

A long-standing critical and fan favorite whose post-1960s work was sadly neglected during her lifetime, the whiskey-voiced Dusty Springfield is arguably the single most important British soul singer ever. And her stirring performances on the landmark 1969 album DUSTY IN MEMPHIS place her amongst the greatest pop singers of all time-- American or British, black or white. Her myriad classics include "You Don't Have To Say I Love You," "Son of a Preacher Man," and "Wishin' and Hopin'." After the aforementioned slate of critical favorites, she resurfaced on the pop chart backing Pet Shop Boys on "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" Springfield passed away in 1999.

Title Note

Personnel include: Dusty Springfield (vocals); Reggie Young (guitar, sitar); Tommy Cogbill (guitar, bass instrument); Bobby Emmons (electric piano, organ, congas); Gene Chrisman (drums); Mike Leech (congas); The Sweet Inspirations (background vocals).

Recording information: American Studios, Memphis, Tennessee; Groove Sound Studio, New York, New York.

Not only is this Dusty's finest work, it is unanimously acknowledged as one of the great soul albums. The secret is in the production. Jerry Wexler, Tommy Dowd, and Arif Mardin enlisted the Sweet Inspirations and the best Memphis session boys for vocal support. Dusty's selection of material is exemplary, choosing songs by Randy Newman, Mann/Weill, Goffin/King, and Bacharach/David. This should have made her an international megastar; instead it scraped the US Top 100, failed to chart in the UK, and started her slow decline. It is a faultless record on which we have, thankfully, now recognized she was far too ahead of her time for her own good.
