¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Dusty Springfield!

AKA Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien.

Born April 16, 1939. Died March 2, 1999.

She was one of my favorite English pop singers.

Movie Song of the Week: "Wishin' and Hopin'"

In honor of the late Hal David, a cover version by Ani DiFranco of one of his more famous songs. In case you don't recognize the origin of the clip, it's from the opening credits of the 1997 movie My Best Friend's Wedding. However, that is definitely not Cameron Diaz in the bridal outfit -- gracias a Dios.
