1. Actually Leslie Gore

sang that originally in the early 60s, but I always liked that song and it's message.

4. Dusty Springfield Dead at 59

Eleven days shy of her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- and two months after being made an Officer of the Order of British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II -- pop singer Dusty Springfield succumbed to breast cancer last night (March 2) at her home in Henley-on-Thames. She was fifty-nine.

Springfield, who is best known for her landmark 1969 album Dusty in Memphis, was diagnosed with the disease in 1994, shortly before the release of her last album, A Very Fine Love. "She handled it honestly with great spirit and humor," says Vicki Wickham, Springfield's manager since her mid-Eighties collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys and a friend since the Sixties. "I'm not just saying that -- she really did. It was extraordinary. [She] only was bedridden in the last couple of days, and really was just amazing. I think anybody that can keep their sense of humor through all of this is just okay in my book."

Wickham says Springfield had been "far too sick" to have traveled to New York for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony Monday, March 15, at the Waldorf Astoria, where Elton John is scheduled to do the induction honors (Springfield sang back-up on his 1971 Tumbleweed Connection).
