Dusty in Memphis, Dusty Springfield's beautiful and bizarre magnum opus, remains as fine a hybrid of pop and rhythm and blues as has ever been made. In this remarkable book, Warren Zanes explores his own love affair with the record. He digs deep into the album's Memphis roots and talks to several of the key characters who were involved in its creation, many of whom were - like Zanes - outsiders drawn to the American South and mesmerized by its hold over the imagination.

Dusty Springfield with her album in Memphis was constructed with the help of some of the best musicians in Memphis and with the use of superb material written by, among others, Jerry Goffin & Carol King, Randy Newman, and Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil. The white girl singer from London attempted to fill the shoes of her African-American idols like Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. Now Dusty is not a soul singer, and she makes no effort to "sound black" - rather she is singing songs that ordinarily would have been offered by their writers to black vocalists. Producer Jerry Wexler and The Memphis Boys are equally in awe of Dusty herself. Spawning classics like "Son of a Preacher Man" and the Oscar-winning "Windmills of Your Mind," Dusty In Memphis forever immortalized Dusty Springfield as "The White Queen of Soul."

Dusty in Memphis, Dusty Springfield's beautiful and bizarre magnum opus, remains as fine a hybrid of pop and rhythm and blues as has ever been made. In this remarkable book, Warren Zanes explores his own love affair with the record. He digs deep into the album's Memphis roots and talks to several of the key characters who were involved in its creation; many of whom were - like Zanes - outsiders drawn to the American South and mesmerized by its hold over the imagination. EXCERPT The love that is the subject of 'Dusty in Memphis' is different from the love of her earlier songs: it is a love that is all at once diffuse, dark, unpredictable, ecstatic, and a terrible deal. It is a love too big for the lyrical (and for that matter musical) framework of Dusty's earlier pop productions, no matter the breadth of that work. Like Memphis itself, the love that is the subject of 'Dusty in Memphis' is indeed bursting with the contrary: it happens not simply when you yearn for it, as in some adolescent dream, but when you're not prepared for it; it reveals itself not simply under the star-filled skies where a moon hangs low--in fact, as the first and last tracks on side one attest, it might be at its best when the sun's just arriving at work.

Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE, born on 16th April 1939, Enfield, Middlesex, England, UK, professionally known as Dusty Springfield, was a pop singer, musician, TV presenter and record producer, whose career extended from the late 1950s to the 1990s. With her distinctive sensual mezzo-soprano sound, she was an important singer of blue-eyed soul, having been one of the most successful British female performers at her peak, with 6 top 20 singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 16 on the UK Singles Chart between 1963 - 1989. Springfield is a member of the US Rock and Roll and UK Music Halls of Fame, with International polls having named Dusty among the best female rock artists of all time. Her image, of a peroxide blonde, bouffant hairstyle, evening gowns, with heavy make-up, and flamboyant performances, made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties. Born into a family that enjoyed music, Springfield learned to sing at home. Dusty joined her first professional group, The Lana Sisters during 1958 then 2 years later formed a pop-folk vocal trio, The Springfields, with her brother Tom Springfield and Tim Field, which became the UK's top selling act. Her solo career began in 1963 with the upbeat pop hit, "I Only Want to Be with You". Among the hits that followed were "Wishin' and Hopin' " (1964), "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" (1964), "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966), and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1968). Dusty brought many little-known US soul singers to the attention of a wider UK record-buying audience, by hosting the first national TV performance of many top-selling Motown artists beginning during 1965. Partly due to her efforts, a year later she became the best-selling female singer in the world, having topped a number of popularity polls, including Melody Maker's Best International Vocalist. Although Springfield was never regarded as a Northern Soul artist in her own right, she contributed much to the formation of the genre. Dusty was the first UK artist to top the New Musical Express readers' poll for Female Singer. Springfield went to Memphis, Tennessee, to record Dusty in Memphis, an album of pop and soul music with the Atlantic Records main production team, which increased her credibility as a soul artist. Released during 1969, it's been ranked among the greatest L.Ps of all time by the US magazine Rolling Stone and in polls by VH1 artists, New Musical Express readers, and Channel 4 viewers.

Dusty Springfield made her name in the 60s with a string of top ten hits. Her unique singing style and distinctive bouffant blonde look made her famous throughout the world. Despite a period in the wilderness during the 70s and 80s, she was back at the top in the 90s until her death from cancer in March l999.Born an Irish Catholic in l939, her background set her almost schizophrenically at odds with herself as she realised her sexuality and moved further into the rock world. Both Penny Valentine and Vicki Wickham knew Dusty well, as friend and manager for much of her career. As well as charting her gay relationships, this book also looks candidly at the period of her greatest self-destruction while living in Los Angeles in the 80s. Covering every area of her career with honesty and affection, Dusty is brought vividly to life.

Dubbed the "White Queen of Soul," singer Dusty Springfield became the first British soloist to break into the U.S. Top Ten music charts with her 1964 hit "I Only Want To Be With You"--a pop classic followed by many others, including "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and "Son of a Preacher Man." Today she is usually placed within the history of the Beatles-led "British Invasion" or seen as a devoted acolyte of Motown. In this penetrating look at her music and career, Annie J. Randall shows how Springfield's contributions transcend the narrow limits of those descriptions and how this middle-class former convent girl became perhaps the unlikeliest of artists to achieve soul credibility on both sides of the Atlantic. Randall reevaluates Springfield's place in sixties popular music through close investigation of her performances as well as interviews with her friends, peers, professional associates, and longtime fans. As the author notes, the singer's unique look--blonde beehive wigs and heavy black mascara--became iconic of the mid-sixties postmodern moment in which identity scrambling and camp pastiche were the norms in swinging London's pop culture. Randall places Springfield within this rich cultural context, focusing on the years from 1964 to 1968, when she recorded her biggest international hits and was a constant presence on British television. The book pays special attention to Springfield's close collaboration and friendship with American gospel singer Madeline Bell, the distinctive way Springfield combined US soul and European melodrama to achieve her own musical style and stage presence, and how her camp sensibility figured as a key element of her artistry.
