Today we remember Dusty Springfield on the tenth anniversary of her death.
“One of the most annoying things about dying is that you don’t get to hear what people say about you once you’ve gone. I think Dusty would have been amazed and moved to learn how much she means to people, what an impact her singing has made, what fondness people feel for her. The British have always taken pop music surprisingly seriously and they know that Dusty Springfield was unique, a soul singer, a star, the real thing. Dusty’s voice is always there to lift you up when you’re down. I feel proud that we knew her and worked with her and played a small part in her fabulous life. She was ‘fab’, and because of her music, she always will be.” — Neil Tennant at Dusty’s funeral.
In 1989 we produced (with Julian Mendelsohn) half of Dusty Springfield’s album “Reputation” and it was released the following year. Dusty had hit singles with “Nothing has been proved” and “In private” but we also wrote some more experimental tracks like “Occupy your mind” and “Daydreaming”. Dusty was always keen to try something new! The album has just been remastered and will be re-released on limited edition pink vinyl on Record Store Day2025. Neil and Chris xx
