Dusty Springfield was one of the biggest and brightest musical stars of the twentieth century. From the launch of her solo career in 1963, she exuded beauty and glamour with a distinctively unique voice that propelled her into the charts time and again. Never shy of the spotlight, Dusty was deported from apartheid South Africa in 1964 for refusing to play to segregated audiences, and broke the mould as the first female entertainer to admit she was bisexual. Streets ahead of her time, with an unrivalled musical ear, she was heavily influenced by Motown and was the first British artist to appreciate its impact, successfully introducing her contemporaries Martha and the Vandellas, The Supremes and Stevie Wonder to audiences through her TV shows.

Work Description
From the launch of her solo career in 1963, Dusty Springfield exuded beauty and glamour with a distinctively unique voice that propelled her into the charts time and again. Ahead of her time, with an unrivalled musical ear, she was heavily influenced by Motown artists and was the first British artist to appreciate their impact. When she hosted her own TV shows, she introduced her audience to such Motown contemporaries as Martha and the Vandellas, The Supremes, and Stevie Wonder.
