He attended the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe.
Initially, Springfield performed in The Springfields (a vocal group) before becoming a record producer and songwriter for The Seekers. He wrote many of their major hits - "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World Of Our Own", "The Carnival Is Over", "Walk with Me", and co-wrote "Georgy Girl", which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1966.
His other hit compositions have included "Adios Amour (Goodbye My Love)", recorded by José Feliciano.
The Springfields' song, "Island of Dreams", has been covered by Mick Thomas, Johnny Tillotson and Mary Hopkin.
