Dusty Springfield: Dusty Says 'I Want To Hit Back'
Keith Altham, NME, 6 July 1968
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD would, I was informed, like to "hit back!" Now this did not sound like the fun-loving lass I knew of old. A skilfully placed over-head lob with a cream doughnut or a half-volley with a teapot yes! But Dusty of an acid verbal variety was something to be seen and heard.
