From
Born Mary O’Brien to a middle-class British family, Dusty Springfield would go on to a career that spanned England and the U.S. as a pop and soul singer, eventually earning the title of “white queen of soul.” Music scholar Randall examines how Dusty, through her voice and her camp personality, transcended the boundaries of race, sex, class, and even nationality, although she has become marginalized in histories of pop music of the 1960s. Citing Henry Louis Gates Jr., Nelson George, and others, Randall explores Springfield’s career in the context of cultural appropriation at a time when more and more white musicians were getting rich from copying the sound and style of black American music. She traces that movement across the U.S. and into Britain in the 1960s and the explosion back across the waters of the British revolution in music that included the Beatles. Randall draws on archival research and interviews with friends, fans, and fellow performers. Photographs and graphics, including detailed instructions on how Dusty achieved her bouffant, add to the story of a pop icon. --Vanessa Bush
Review
"Much has been written about Springfield's life, but too little about her artistry and panache. Randall begins to remedy that with her stylish, deeply research analysis of an epochal look and era-defining sound."-Eric C. Schneider, The Atlantic
"Written the incredible passion and insights into the famed singer's motives and methods both in the studio and out, Randall has not only given us a superb account of the legend that is Dusty Springfield, but she has also given us anther reason to marvel at and embrace the music of an artist and her music that will never go out of style."-Dishmag
"Not only does [Randall] place Dusty Springfield alongside her peers with in-depth analysis of performances and interviews with associates and acolytes, but she does so with a superior sense of storytelling. Dusty was larger than life and Randall captures this fact nearly flawlessly in Dusty! Queen of the Postmods."-Popmatters.com
"Dusty! is a primer in Springfield's cultural significance."--New York Press
"Dusty Springfield was one of the most interesting and influential singers of the 1960s, of central importance to the British Invasion, mod culture, and blue-eyed soul, but this thoughtful and beautifully-written book does much more than rehabilitate her role in the history of rock 'n' roll. Through compelling, sophisticated analysis of Dusty's look and sound, Annie Randall tackles themes of cultural appropriation, post-colonialism, fandom, hierarchies of taste, and notions of identity."--Jacqueline Warwick, Author of Girl Groups, Girl Culture: Popular Music and Identity in the 1960s
"Painstakingly researched and intelligently considered, Annie Randall's book provides a unique and fascinating insight into a unique and fascinating artist."--Paul Howes, Author of The Complete Dusty Springfield and Editor of Dusty Springfield Bulletin
