Geocache Description:

Thirtythird in the Famous People (FP) Series - Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield, (April 16, 1939 – March 2, 1999) was a popular English singer whose career spanned more than four decades. She achieved her most notable success during the 1960s, with a successful comeback in the late 80's.

She was born in West Hampstead, London, England as Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien and was brought up in the west London borough of Ealing. The name "Dusty" was given to her when she was a child, probably as she had been a tomboy in her early years.

Her first single was "I Only Want To Be With You", which was a success in both Britain and the United States. This was followed by a series of classic and successful singles, including "Stay Awhile", "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself", and "Losing You". Springfield recorded a number of Bacharach-David compositions, one of which was specifically written for her, "The Look of Love" (from the 1967 spoof Bond movie Casino Royale, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song in 1967.) By 1964, Springfield was one of the biggest solo artists of her day.

She also released such classic singles as "Losing You", "Your Hurtin' Kinda Love" and "In the Middle of Nowhere", culminating in her biggest hit, and her first (and only) UK #1 single, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". The Windmills of Your Mind was recorded by Dusty Springfield in 1969 and was used as the theme song for "The Thomas Crown Affair" in 1968.

Springfield lost her battle with breast cancer and she died on March 2, 1999 at the age of 59, just ten days before she was to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and on the day she had been due to receive her OBE at Buckingham Palace.

Located in the Grapevine Cemetery next to Burpi Klapp is a 35mm camo'ed container. You will want to BYO
Coordinates were determined with a WAAS enabled Garmin eTrex Legend Cx averaged over a 3 minute span to an accuracy of 7.7'. I don't believe the coordinates are that good, but once you find Burpi, you'll know where to look for the cache.
