Her 1973 album \u003cem\u003eCameo\u003c\/em\u003e showcased Springfield's soulful pop in splendid fashion but failed to generate significant traction outside of Billboard's Adult Contemporary listings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor her sophomore project with the label the following year, Dusty travelled to New York to team with producer Brooks Arthur, renowned for his work with Phil Spector's 1960s coterie of girl singers, For \u003cem\u003eLonging\u003c\/em\u003e, Arthur chose to frame Dusty in the 1970s singer-songwriter milieu, surrounding her with material from Colin Blunstone (\"Exclusively for Me\"), Melissa Manchester \u0026amp; Carole Bayer Sager (\"Home to Myself\"), Janis Ian (\"In the Winter\"), Stephen Schwartz (\"Corner of the Sky\"), Chi Coltrane (\"Turn Me Around\"), Barry Manilow (\"I Am Your Child\") and others. In many cases, the songwriters themselves contributed directly by playing keyboards on their respective creations at Arthur's famed 911 Studios. Bruce Springsteen was also known to sit in on some of the sessions in admiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the sessions wound down in the summer of 1974, Dusty found herself suffering from emotional exhaustion and professional uncertainty. She subsequently chose to put the album on the shelf and part ways with the label, ultimately re-recording a pair of the tracks when she signed to United Artists Records a few years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2001, under the supervision of producer Arthur, nine of the ten tracks he recorded with Dusty were released on CD as part of a collection of her ABC\/Dunhill period. A tenth track (\"Corner of the Sky\" from the Broadway musical Pippin) was reworked as a duet with Petula Clark and included on a pair of her anthologies. Now, \u003cem\u003eLonging\u003c\/em\u003e makes its CD debut as an album, featuring the first-ever solo release of \"Corner of the Sky\" along with new mixes for eight of the other selections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes vintage artwork and other rare images along with track-by-track annotations by noted Dusty expert and author Paul Howes.
