Album: Living Without Your Love

Introduction
"Living Without Your Love" is the eleventh studio album by English pop singer Dusty Springfield, released in 1978.

Production and Recording
The record was produced by David Wolfert, an American songwriter, musician, and manufacturer who had formerly worked with artists such as Melissa Manchester, Barbra Streisand, and Engelbert Humperdinck. Springfield and Wolfert looked for to produce a noise that showcased her powerful voice while incorporating modern musical designs and production techniques. The album was taped at Sound Labs Inc. in Hollywood, California, with a team of top artists, consisting of bassist Bob Glaub, drummer Rick Marotta, and keyboardist David Paich.
