Dusty Springfield Tribute
The Pride Park program is taking shape. Pride Park opens on the Wednesday of the festival week and will start with a tribute to the soul star Dusty Springfield. Dusty hade numerous hits during three decades, such as "Son of a Preacher Man" and "In Private".
Towards the end of her life, Dusty talked about her love for women. During her career the climate in society had not allowed her to do so openly 10 years ago this year Dusty Springfield passed away at an much too early age. She is considered to be one of the best soul singers ever, and her music is ageless. With numerous hits spawning from the 60ies to the 90ies, she is always gonna be discovered by new listeners. Living much of her life in the closet, formed by the heterosexual society around her, and not coming out as a lesbian until late in her life, this is our tribute to Dusty.
