Linda Ronstadt

[The Mad Monk]

I played her greatest hits CD (the first one, from 1976) for six hours straight. Is that strange?

[The Mad Monk]

Well, at least it's a response.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Where in God's name is "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," you *&%&^$$#&^$ ?

[The Mad Monk]

I was surprised to learn that "You're No Good" and "Heatwave" are both covers; I've never heard anyone else sing them.

[Dis]

is that the one that goes: you're no good, you're no good, you're not good, baby, you're no good?

I'm trying to think of who did that song before. It's an R&B song I think.

[The Mad Monk]

Yes it is, and yes it is.

[JohnT]

Every song that Ms. Ronstadt put in the American pop top-40 is a cover, iirc.

"Different Drum"

I used to have such a crush on Linda Ronstadt.

[Harry Seldon]

From the looks of her recently, she may could put a crush on you.

I only know as much about her because my mom was a huge fan so we were treated to hours of Linda growing up.

Incidentally, I threw in for Silver Bells and Golden Needles. I'm suprised no one chose Desperado.

[SlowwHand]

To me, she'll always be

[chequita guevara]

I liked her country period better.

[Proteus_MST]

Linda Ronstadt.

As I don´t know her older Songs,
I´d go for her Duet with Aaron Neville:
"Don´t know much"

Pity, you didn´t include it in the Poll,
but I suspect it hadn´t been out in 76
(came out later, second half of the 80s AFAIK)

[Hueij]

None of her Mexican songs?

[SlowwHand]

And she's Mexican.
