Editing Dusty Springfield (section)

=== 1980s ===
In 1980, Springfield sang "Bits and Pieces", the theme song from the movie ''[[The Stunt Man]]''. She signed a US deal with [[20th Century Records]], which resulted in the single "[[It Goes Like It Goes]]", a cover of the Oscar-winning song from the film ''[[Norma Rae]]''. Springfield was uncharacteristically proud of her 1982 album ''[[White Heat (Dusty Springfield album)|White Heat]]'', which was influenced by [[new wave music]].<ref name=musicianguide /> She tried to revive her career in 1985 by returning to the UK and signing to [[Peter Stringfellow]]'s Hippodrome Records label. This resulted in the single "Sometimes Like Butterflies" and an appearance on [[Terry Wogan]]'s TV chat show ''[[Wogan]]''. None of Springfield's singles from 1971 to 1986 charted on the UK Top&nbsp;40 or ''Billboard'' Hot&nbsp;100.<ref name=everyhit /><ref name=allmusic2 />

Thomas]], "As Long as We Got Each Other", which was used as the opening theme for the US sitcom ''[[Growing Pains]]'' in season&nbsp;4 (1988–89). (Thomas had collaborated with [[Jennifer Warnes]] on the original version, which was neither re-recorded with Warnes nor released as a single.) It was issued as a single and reached no. 7 on the Adult Contemporary Singles Chart. In 1988, a new compilation, ''[[Dusty – The Silver Collection|The Silver Collection]]'', was issued. Springfield returned to the studio with the Pet Shop Boys, who produced her recording of their song "[[Nothing Has Been Proved]]", commissioned for the soundtrack of the 1989 drama film ''[[Scandal (1989 film)|Scandal]]''.
