description: When she lost her battle with cancer in her sixtieth year, the phenomenal reaction to her death confirmed her appeal across generations. From the 60s hits like 'I Only Want to Be With You', 'Son of a Preacher Man' and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me', to her 80s collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys and beyond, Dusty has retained her reputation as one of the few authentic white soul singers.Lucy O'Brien's latest version of her classic biography with new photographs and full discography, charts every step of Dusty's remarkable career, including her 'difficult' reputation, her sexual ambivalence, and the excesses of drink and drugs, and a reflection on the response to her passing.This is the definitive account of a woman whose talent transcended fashion and personal anguish to make her an enduring pop icon.
