The creator of the unique style known as 'blue-eyed soul', Dusty Springfield was instrumental in introducing Motown to Britain, and for several years reigned supreme on both sides of the Atlantic. Her voice--flute-like, smoky and sensual, frequently in the space of the same song--was similarly unique. Over a decade after her death, she remains a show business legend--yet she also remains an enigma, a completely self-fabricated, difficult yet strangely vulnerable woman who allowed few access to her complex, in turns exuberant and neurotic world where at times there was little difference between reality and make-believe. In this revised first volume of Brit Girls of the Sixties, which also includes the story of teenage sensation HELEN SHAPIRO, David Bret tells Dusty's story with honesty and compassion, love and understanding. One of Britain's leading celebrity biographers, his previous work includes books about Edith Piaf, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Maria Callas, Mario Lanza, Gracie Fields and George Formby
