Editing Dusty Springfield (section)

=== 1990s ===
Springfield's 1990 album, ''[[Reputation (Dusty Springfield album)|Reputation]]'', was her third UK Top&nbsp;20 studio album.<ref name=everyhit /> The writing and production credits for half the album, which included the two recent hit singles, went to Pet Shop Boys, while the album's other producers included [[Dan Hartman]]. By 1988 Springfield had left [[California]] and other than when recording tracks for ''Reputation'', she returned to the UK to live. In 1993, she recorded a duet with her former 1960s professional rival and friend, Cilla Black. In October, "Heart and Soul" was released as a single and, in September it had appeared on Black's album, ''[[Through the Years (Cilla Black album)|Through the Years]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cillablack.com/music-heartandsoul-single.htm |title=Cilla Black Discography: 'Heart and Soul' (Duet with Dusty Springfield)&nbsp;– Single |access-date=4 July 2012 |archive-date=18 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218050440/http://www.cillablack.com/music-heartandsoul-single.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> Springfield's next album, provisionally titled ''Dusty in Nashville'', was started in 1993 with producer, [[Tom Shapiro]], but was issued as ''[[A Very Fine Love]]'' in June 1995. Though originally intended by Shapiro as a country music album, the track selection by Springfield pushed the album into pop music with an occasional country feel.<ref>O'Brien, pp. 227–229.</ref>

The last studio track Springfield recorded was [[George Gershwin|George]] and [[Ira Gershwin]]'s song "[[Someone to Watch Over Me (song)|Someone to Watch Over Me]]" in London in 1995 for an insurance company TV ad. It was included on ''Simply Dusty'' (2000), an anthology that she had helped plan. Her final live performance was on ''The Christmas with [[Michael Ball (singer)|Michael Ball]]'' special in December 1995.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020628142523/http://www.michaelball.co.uk/bio/ |url=http://www.michaelball.co.uk/bio/ |title=Biography |publisher=Michael Ball Official Website |archive-date=28 June 2002 |access-date=4 July 2012}}</ref>

According to Australian film director [[Emma-Kate Croghan]], Springfield personally approved the use of her recording of "The Look of Love" in the 1999 film ''[[Strange Planet]]'' just days before her death in March 1999.<ref name="commentary">''Strange Planet'' Emma Kate-Croghan DVD commentary track, 1999.</ref>
