Dusty Springfield was one of the most iconic British singers of all time. Her unique voice and soulful style made her a star in the 1960s and 1970s. She had a string of hit songs, including "Son of a Preacher Man," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," and "I Only Want to Be with You."

Springfield's life was as dramatic as her music. She struggled with personal demons, including addiction and depression. She was also a pioneer for LGBT rights. In 1970, she came out as bisexual, which was a bold move for a public figure at the time.

Kathy McCabe's classic biography of Dusty Springfield was first published in 1994. It was a groundbreaking work that provided the most comprehensive account of Springfield's life and career to date.
