	Dusty Springfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Springfield had heard the song at the San Remo Music Festival and obtained an acetate of the song, but didn't move to record it until nearly a year later, when she was recording new material.
		Springfield's fortunes finally changed in 1987, when she was approached by the British pop duo Pet Shop Boys to collaborate with them on a song called "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", which was a smash hit in Britain, USA, and around the world, bringing Dusty back into public view.
		Springfield is widely regarded by many as one of the finest soul singers of all time, an accomplishment made even more notable by the fact that she was a "blue eyed soul" singer - a Caucasian singer who sang material in a way normally associated with African-American singers.

		Dusty was keen to escape the controlling influence of her older brother and gain full command over her music, so in late 1963 she left The Springfields to establish herself as a soul singer.
		Springfield's fortunes finally changed in 1987, when she switched management to famed talent manager Vicki Wickham (also a long-time friend), and she collaborated with the Pet Shop Boys, who were fans of hers, and asked her to add a vocal to a song they were recording.
		Dusty was now free to explore her love of American Black music and her first solo single at the end of 1963, "I Only Want To Be With You" achieved gold status in the UK and began to reveal the link between soul and pop that Dusty was to make her own.

		Springfield extracts all the extra sugar from the original and replaces it with a version in which you can hear the yearning in Dusty's voice.

		Born Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien in 1939’s London, Dusty was educated in a Roman Catholic convent where she reportedly informed the nuns early on that she wanted to be a jazz singer when she grew up.
