About A Girl
Bringing women out from the shadows of music history. Familiar characters, new perspectives.
Norma Tanega & Dusty Springfield
Norma Tanega was a soulful American Latina artist, a one-hit wonder who never wanted stardom, but who fell in love with Dusty Springfield, the Queen of White Soul, who wanted stardom very much. They kept their contentious love affair from the public, but Norma had to leave behind Dusty's glittering world for the pain it concealed.
