Dusty Springfield was born April 16, 1939, in West Hampstead, London as Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. She was a musical icon, whose music spanned genres and whose influence spanned generations and across oceans. Her father was an avid fan of classical and jazz, and he would beat out rhythms on the back of her hand, asking the young girl to guess which piece of music that was. She was brought up listening to a wide variety of music. Her mother would bring her to the movies at any opportunity.

Dusty Springfield
(tom springfield)
The springfields
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, i'm gonna tell myself don't sit and mourn
Lookin' sad and so forlorn
Tell myself i'm glad i'm born
Well, i'm gonna breakaway
Breakaway, the breeze is sighin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, i'm gonna pack a bag and get my coat
Lock my door and leave a note
Take a train or take a boat
Well, i'm gonna breakaway
I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends i knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But i know their hearts are true
I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh-so bad
And if i find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, i'm gonna find out what this world can give
While i'm young i'm gonna live
That's my plan, i'm positive
Well, i'm gonna breakaway
I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends i knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But, i know their hearts are true
I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh-so bad
And if i find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, i'm gonna find out what this world can give
While i'm young i'm gonna live
That's my plan, i'm positive
Well, i'm gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Breakaway
