The most popular female "blue-eyed soul" singers, and one of the greatest voices of all time, Dusty Springfield was born as Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien in London. Her first big hit was "I Only Want to Be with You" in 1963, and she went on to chart countless soulful, emotional pop hits including "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," and "Son of a Preacher Man." Springfield was romantically involved with several different women, including fellow singer Norma Tanega throughout the late '60s. Although she didn't exactly "come out" as a lesbian, she did acknowledge her sexuality in interviews, saying to the Evening Standard: "Many other people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it ... I know I'm perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy. More and more people feel that way and I don't see why I shouldn't." Springfield's attraction to women and her smoky, sultry voice just bolstered her sensual, soft, feminine image: all big fake eyelashes, silk tops, fitted dresses, and luxe blonde wigs.
