    By 1988, Dusty Springfield was experiencing a significant resurgence in her career, particularly following her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. This live performance at the BRIT Awards, where she sang "What Have I Done To Deserve This," marked a pivotal moment as it showcased her return to the public eye after a period of relative quiet since the 1970s. The track was included in her 1987 album "Dusty Springfield," which was her first studio album in over 15 years and was critical in introducing her music to a new generation. Interestingly, this collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys not only bridged pop and soul but also highlighted how her style influenced contemporary artists. The performance at the BRITs reinforced her status as an iconic figure in the music industry, blending her rich history with the vibrant sound of the late '80s.
