Virtually ALL of Dusty Springfield's hits are from the '60s. Although perhaps best remembered for "Son of a Preacher Man", there were others.
"I Only Want to be with You" US #12, March '64
"Wishin' and Hopin'" US #6, August '64
"You don't have to say you love me" US #4, July '66
"Son of a Preacher Man" was a "comeback" hit. It reached US #10 on the Billboard charts in January '69.
Both Dusty Springfield, as well as Petula Clark, were probably the most successful British female pop vocalists of the era to achieve worldwide fame. But Dusty, unlike Petula, had a decidedly soul "edge" to her sound.
I loved her singing, and she was apparently held in high regard in the music world. In 1965, she appeared at Wembley Stadium in the UK, along with the Beatles & the Stones!
Her recording with the Pet Shop Boys in 1988 is the last I've heard of her. Wonder what became of her; she was fantastic!!!

She started out as a member of the folk-singing group the Springfields with her brother Tom, then went solo in the mid-60's. Her music can probably best be described as soulful rock with some blues on the side.

dusty hit the scene in the 60s and was considered part of the british invasion...her early works are considered "pop"..."son of a preacher man" (which aretha reportedly turned down) had her going into a soul direction...and she even showed up in the 90's with the pet shop boys on "what 've i done to deserve this"...hope that helps...

I heard her when I was a teenager - so that would be about 1965 - 1970. Her voice and delivery and her bands were really amazing. Wish I could hear her again.

I think she was back in the 60's, in the Elvis, Nancy Sinatra era. I sure wouldn't bet on it though.

She was biggest in the mid-Sixties to early-Seventies, singing a British take on American soul music.
