Top Ten Female Vocalists – #7 – Dusty Springfield
Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley represented the old school on my list of favorite male vocalists, and Dusty Springfield has that honor here.
The British Springfield made her most enduring musical contribution with the very American Dusty in Memphis, a seminal album containing wonderful songs written by the likes of Burt Bacharach, Carole King and Randy Newman. That album is my only real exposure to Springfield’s work but, as with Van Morrison’s Moondance, it’s more than enough to make me a huge fan.
