Shindig!’s 10 Of The Best: Dusty Springfield

Welcome back to our ad-hoc, offbeat and topsy-turvy series of themed Youtube playlists from the lunatics in the Shindig! basement.

It might be sugar; it might be sheep; it might be shadows but it’ll always be Shindig!

This time round, it’s Dusty Springfield, who would have been 75 today, and whose catalogue continues ripen and improve with the passing decades.
