Dusty Springfield, the English singer behind the classic “Son of a Preacher Man” has been an icon of “blue-eyed soul” for decades.

So it’s only fitting that the golden-voiced superstar Adele is rumored to be circling the lead role in a big-screen version of Springfield’s story.

Springfield, who died in 1999, is a member of the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the voice behind numerous R&B hits in the 1960s and ’70s.

Apparently, a biopic on Springfield has been in the works for decades but has gained considerable traction now that the “Rolling in the Deep” singer is reportedly interested in a starring role.

“Adele is attached to a project, but it’s in the early stages of development,” reports The Daily Star.

The 25-year-old singer has yet to confirm or deny the reports.
