HIT 60s GROUP THE SPRINGFIELDS ON THE ROAD AGAIN CHIPPING SODBURY TOWN HALL Friday 13th March Tickets £17.50 & £15.00 - Ticket Hotline: 01454 334410 or website: sodburyjazzandblues Why did the Springfields break up in 1963? By 1963, the Springfields were one of the most popular groups in the UK. The group had several chart hits and had recorded a number of foreign language records. However, Dusty Springfield apparently felt limited by the groups folk act and Toms lead role within the trio so, towards the end of 1963, decided to leave for a solo career.A this point the group disbanded. Their final performance was a live appearance on Sunday Night At The London Palladium in front of an estimated television audience of 20 million. So what happened then? Dusty’s solo career began with the pop hit, ‘I Only Want to Be with You’ followed quickly by ‘Wishin and Hopin’’, ‘I Just Dont Know What to Do with Myself’, ‘You Dont Have to Say You Love Me’, and ‘Son of a Preacher Man’. A fan of US pop music, Dusty brought many little-known soul singers to the attention of a wider UK audience by hosting the first national TV performance of many top-selling Motown artistes. By 1966 she had become the best-selling female singer in the world topping a number of popularity polls. Heres a fascinating insight into Dustys life and career. https://youtube/watch?v=HmMRJzpDkAI
