Dusty Springfield, born on April 16, 1939, in Hampstead, London, UK, was an influential British singer who began her career in the early 1960s before going solo. She achieved a long string of successful albums and singles throughout the 1960s and headlined several variety series on BBC and ITV networks during that time. Although her chart successes slowed in the 1970s, she experienced a renaissance in the 1980s with the help of the Pet Shop Boys, with whom she recorded two hit records, including the duet "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" After recording her final album, "A Very Fine Love," Springfield was diagnosed with cancer. Following treatment, the cancer was briefly in remission but eventually returned, leading to her death on March 2, 1999, in Henley, Oxfordshire, UK. Just days before her passing, she was awarded the Order of the British Empire, and later that year, she was inducted as a performer into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
