Re:RIP Dusty Springfield

[Brad Bechtel]

What a terrible loss.  Dusty Springfield was one of the few white soul singers of her 
generation who could legitimately stand up to the great black singers.

According to the BBC web site 
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_67000/67646.stm), she had just been 
awarded the Order of the British Empire this year.   Thanks to the discussion on this 
list, I picked up a copy of "Dusty In Memphis" last year.  It's a hell of a fine 
album, worth owning no matter what.
