| Performance Notes | Dusty Springfield, an English singer whose career extended from the late 1950s tothe 1990s, remains the White Lady Of Soul. She is best known for her work during the 1960s, when she released singles such as "I Only Want to Be with You" (1963), "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966) and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1968), and her acclaimed album Dusty in Memphis (1969). With her distinctive sensual sound, she is an important soul singer, and at her peak was one of the most successful British female performers, with 18 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 from 1964 to 1970. Her image, supported by a peroxide blonde beehive hairstyle, evening gowns, and heavy make-up, made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995, Springfield died on 2 March 1999. She is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the U.K. Music Hall of Fame. This concert celebrated her work with performances from a host of stars from past and present. |
