Happy Birthday Linda Ronstadt

Hard to believe but Linda Ronstadt (You're No Good) is 57 years old today
Hope she has a happy birthday!
Cheers!

I didn't know that... I thought she is -50.

 

Linda was an early crush for me, which means I'm getting pretty old too, I guess.

A great singer in many different styles of music. I was a bit surprised and sorry to read awhile ago in Goldmine that she dislikes pretty much all of her hit recordings.

 

I was like 5 years old and I thought she was the hottest thing going. Pat Benatar, Donna Summer, and Linda were my first crushes.

 

Who remembers Sweet Linda on The Muppet Show, singing "Blue Bayou" with a chorus of frogs ribbiting in the background?

 

I do!!!

 

Check this out:

First time I saw Ronstadt she opened for Jackson Browne at Gaston Hall at Georgetown University which seats maybe two hundred. She had Lowell George and Sneeky Pete in her band !

Peace-
Norm

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LINDA!!!


And they don't call her The Lovely Linda for nuttin':

Don't forget Blondie!

Happy B-Day, Linda

 

I had a crush on her too. I forgot. I used to stare at my mom's Eat To The Beat album.

 

I remember buying "Different Drum" 45 back in 1967. I still love that song.

 

Personally, I have a soft spot for her version of All I Have To Do Is Dream with Kermit. Love that thing.

 

It's on the fourth (rarities) disc of her box set. Might be worth the exhorbitant price of the whole box (not really, but still a great track)!

Talk about one idiosyncratic set - Linda was much too involved with the compiliation of that box - omission of hits (um, "It's So Easy" wasn't worthy of inclusion, Linda??) reverse chrono order, etc...

 

And her version of "Crazy". I see that was left off too, just like on other compilations. Why?

 

Happy Birthday Linda - We saw her in 1973 and we both love her songs.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA! I've dug Linda since her Stone Ponys days! A fine singer indeed!

 

I'll bet! Neato... Did ya take any pics? We'd love to see them!

 

What a lady! Lately I've been enjoying her collaboration albums with Emmylou Harris. They do very well together indeed!

 

I'll say! Western Wall (or is it called The Tuscon Sessions?) and Trio 1 and 2 are favourites.
