Dusty Springfield “Love Power”
Because in some cultures, two Nicole Kidman-related posts in as many days is just good luck, Nicole Kidman is set to play 60s chanteuse Dusty Springfield in an upcoming biopic written by Michael Cunningham, who wrote Kidman’s Virginia Woolf movie, The Hours. Cunningham on Dusty, from Vulture:
“She was a great artist who no one knew what to do with,” he said. “She was coming into her full powers at the same time the Beatles were,” he said, adding that she suddenly found herself the purveyor of a dying torchy genre. “But she is clearly going into history with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.”
Here’s another soulfully tasty morsel of Dusty from the 70s.
