Book Reviews of The Complete Dusty Springfield
Book Review: it doesn't get any more complete than this!
Summary: 5 Stars
paul howes is the ULTIMATE springfield fan. he hasn't spent hours listening to every syllable springfield ever sang. he has spent his life. and then some. because more than a few of the recordings he disseminates were not released to the public or are parts of tv specials springfield made during 40+ year career.
and his love for dusty and her unique, one of a kind voice is captured in page after page of this healthy tome that devotes itself to her recordings.
even when he doesn't like the performance or the arrangement, he still maintains impartiality and great respect for a woman that was loved, idolized, almost forgotten then reclaimed by her new and old fans from all over the world.
and this book is a perfect reading companion for when you are enjoying one of springfield's wonderful interpretations of a song she made her own.
and the beauty of that--there's more than a few.
