Recorded in 1994 and released in 1995 A Very Fine Love was a Dusty Springfield release on Columbia Records, in both the US and UK, her first such simultaneous release since Living Without Your Love in 1979. During the recording of the album, Spingfield often had bouts of laryngitis and other undiagnosed health issues. Upon returning to England, she saw a specialist and was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer. Upon learning Springfield was to undergo chemotherapy, her manager, Vicki Wickham, was able to convince Columbia records to delay releasing A Very Fine Love until Springfield was well enough to do promotion work. Springfield's cancer went into remission, and in June 1995, A Very Fine Love was released. It made little impact on the US album charts, but did reach #43 on the British charts. One track from the album Wherever Would I Be?, a duet with Daryl Hall was featured in the movie While You Were Sleeping, and was a minor hit in Britain, along with Roll Away, the last charting single of her lifetime. Due to modest sales of the album, Springfield and Columbia Records decided not to renew the contract, and as the cancer recurred in late 1996, and Springfield passed away in 1999, it proved to be Dusty Springfield's final album.
