What a great talent--and gone far too soon; although, if you've read any biographies of her, you'll know she always lived a troubled life, including addiction and being in the closet.
Dusty was my eye-makeup guru. It was many years before I realized you probably have to be an international pop star to carry off that look!

Love Dusty Springfield.
We listen to her CD frequently.
Sorry. I have to say I love her.
Love Dusty. Her album Dusty In Memphis is a gem. If only she had skipped The Windmills of Your Mind. God, I hate that song.
