The Early Years

 

Dusty Springfield (real name Mary O'Brien) was possibly the number one British female solo artist of the 1960's. Her road to stardom began in 1958 when she joined The Lana Sisters but her real breakthrough was to come as part of the group The Springfields, which she formed in 1960 along with her brother, Dion, and Tim Feild. In 1963, however, Dusty decided it was time to go it alone and she was soon to have a string of hits on both sides of the Atlantic.

Bargain Shopping Galore at Amazon 

What can you save money on today?

Amazon has to rate as one of the biggest retail outlets on the Web, if not in fact the biggest. Most of us will have heard of them at one time or another, but how many of us have actually shopped with them, or even explored the possibility of doing so?

I have been a customer of Amazon for several years now. In that time, I have purchased from them chiefly books, CD's and DVD's, often making incredible savings without having to leave the comfort of my own home, but there are a whole host of other products available to buy in the same way.

As a company unburdened by the considerable overheads of maintaining High Street or Mall premises and all the expenses associated with same, Amazon are able to pass such savings on to us, their customers.

About Gordon_H

My name is Gordon Hamilton and I live in the United Kingdom.

I write - and very much enjoy doing so - on a wide variety of subjects, from humour, to food and drink, to travel, to music, for a variety of websites and other mediums. My interests - when I can find some spare time - are spectator sports, sea fishing, travelling and reading.

My favourite fishing destination is the West Coast of Scotland, particularly Loch Fyne, though sadly the fishing there, in these horrific days of inshore trawling, is not what it once was. My favourite travel destination outwith Scotland is Germany, particularly Munich. My favourite sports team is Rangers (football/soccer team from Glasgow) My favourite food is harder to define but I rarely enjoy anything more than very fresh, locally caught seafood at coastal destinations.
