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--flutelike, smoky and sensual, often in the space of the same song--was similarly unique. Two decades after her passing she remains a show business legend--yet she also remains an enigma, a completely self-fabricated, difficult, yet strangely vulnerable woman who allowed few into her complex, personal world where at times there was little difference between reality and make believe. David Bret is one of Britain's leading celebrity biographers. In this the first of his "Brit Girls" series, which also includes the story of teen sensation Helen Shapiro, he tells the story of the Dusty he adored with honesty and compassion. David Bret's previous best-selling books include acclaimed biographies of Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich, Morrissey, Mario Lanza, and Maria Callas.

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 exhuberant and neurotic world where at times there was little difference between reality and make-believe. HELEN SHAPIRO: The teenage sensation whose commercial career ended as the other Brit Girls were coming into their own, though she went on to be a fine, successful jazz-singer. Contains full 1960s UK and European vinyl discographies. Also in this series: Volume Two: Marianne Faithfull & Kathy Kirby Volume Three: Cilla Black, Sandie Shaw & Lulu

"Dusty Springfield - in the middle of nowhere deals with the idea of Dusty Springfield as cultural icon - partly promoted by the woman who went by that name, partly interpreted down the years by newspapers, magazines, television, books, websites and, of course, by the author." "The book describes the cultural reception of Dusty Springfield when she was alive and since her death. What has been said and written about her music, appearance and celebrity is reviewed with the intention of building a picture of her place in Anglo-American culture. Although neither history nor biography in any conventional sense, the book may be viewed as containing historical and biographical features, as it narrates a life-in-text across nearly half a century. The writing also sets Dusty against the musical and social background of her times, and provides theoretical perspectives against which to discuss her artistry." "This is the first book-length study of Dusty Springfield's contribution to popular culture in terms of race, gender or sexuality, and will appeal not only to Dusty fans but also to readers with a general interest in popular music or cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.

She's So Fine explores the music, reception and cultural significance of 1960s girl singers and girl groups in the US and the UK. Using approaches from the fields of musicology, women's studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies, this volume is the first interdisciplinary work to link close musical readings with rigorous cultural analysis in the treatment of artists such as Martha and the Vandellas, The Crystals, The Blossoms, Brenda Lee, Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Tina Turner, and Marianne Faithfull. Currently available studies of 1960s girl groups/girl singers fall into one of three categories: industry-generated accounts of the music's production and sales, sociological commentaries, or omnibus chronologies/discographies. She's So Fine, by contrast, focuses on clearly defined themes via case studies of selected artists. Within this analytical rather than historically comprehensive framework, this book presents new research and original observations on the 60s girl group/girl singer phenomenon.

"Itchycoo Park, 1964-1970-the second volume of Sixties British Pop, Outside In- explores how London songwriters, musicians, and production crews navigated the era's cultural upheavals by reimagining the pop-music envelope. British songwriters, musicians, and production crews explored form, sound, and subject matter as western society grappled with racism, sexism, war, revolution, and migration in a postcolonial world. As these creators and curators of popular culture combined interests in jazz, folk, blues, Indian ragas, and western classical music, they created sophisticated hybrid forms that redefined pop music. Based on extensive research and drawing on vintage and original interviews, Sixties British Pop, Outside In contextualizes the world of the Beatles through King Crimson in the frameworks of the postwar surge in births that created the Bulge Generation in the UK (and Baby Boomers in America), emergent technologies, English behavior, and the places and spaces in which people created and consumed pop music"--

The Queer Sixties assembles an impressive group of cultural critics to go against the grain of 1960s studies, and proposes new and different ways of the last decade before the closet doors swung open. Imbued with the zeitgeist of the 60s, this playful and powerful collection rescues the persistence of the queer imaginary.
British Rock Modernism 1967 1977

British Rock Modernism 1967 1977 written by Barry J. Faulk and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-05-23 with Music categories.
British Rock Modernism, 1967-1977 explains how the definitive British rock performers of this epoch aimed, not at the youthful rebellion for which they are legendary, but at a highly self-conscious project of commenting on the business in which they were engaged. They did so by ironically appropriating the traditional forms of Victorian music hall. Faulk focuses on the mid to late 1960s, when British rock bands who had already achieved commercial prominence began to aspire to aesthetic distinction. The book discusses recordings such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album, the Kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society, and the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, and television films such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus that defined rock's early high art moment. Faulk argues that these 'texts' disclose the primary strategies by which British rock groups, mostly comprised of young working and lower middle-class men, made their bid for aesthetic merit by sampling music hall sounds. The result was a symbolically charged form whose main purpose was to unsettle the hierarchy that set traditional popular culture above the new medium. Rock groups engaged with the music of the past in order both to demonstrate the comparative vitality of the new form and signify rock's new art status, compared to earlier British pop music. The book historicizes punk rock as a later development of earlier British rock, rather than a rupture. Unlike earlier groups, the Sex Pistols did not appropriate music hall form in an ironic way, but the band and their manager Malcolm McLaren were obsessed with the meaning of the past for the present in a distinctly modernist fashion.
