"Including 16 UK Top 20 singles, SImply Dusty provides the most comprehensive overview of Dusty Springfield's work and career. Although often reduced to a camp icon with her Kohl-eyes and her towering beehive hairdo, the former Mary O'Brien was not only Britian's greatest pop diva, but also unquestionably the finest white sould singer of her era. With thorough notes -- each of the 98 songs gets an individual history -- and sumptuous photography, this lavishly-packaged book shows Springfield to be a performer of remarkable emotional resonance, consistency and purity as her work adapted effortlessly across the four decades in which she recorded." - from the rear outer jacket. "Producers Note: This work was commissioned with Dusty's full approval during her long battle with cancer. Many of the tributes herein were written prior to her death, while others are heartfelt thoughts, which have arrived subsequently.".
