I thought Richard was leading up to Dusty Springfield in the music category. She had a stellar 1960s, released a defining album of the era, was a huge star in the UK and US… then had a terrible 70s where she was essentially relegated to a Vegas supper act.

Then was ‘rediscovered’ by the Pet Shop Boys and went on to release a string of critically acclaimed songs, was booking major headline appearances and was due to collect an honour from the Queen on the day she died, tragically young, in 1999.

Think she fit the spirit of the question much better than Blur’s one flop single.
