Dusty Springfield

It’s music month at Gal’s Guide and a new group of gal pals have joined to have some fun. Bonnie takes the stage first talking about Dusty Springfield the singer of “Son of a Preacher Man”, “Wishin’ and Hopin’ and more. Don’t miss this fab episode because we learned that Dusty threw food when she got angry. But “What have I, what have I done to deserve this?” Wait what does the Pet Shop Boys have to do with Dusty? Just hit play to learn more.
