CRIMES: Count 1 - Invasion of Privacy. Count 2 - Continuing Crucifixion of Angelina DiMauro since February 16, 1994. Today is Monday, January 23, 2012 (C.E.), 5:53 AM (Earth-Eastern Standard Time)
Being that she covered Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, and Little Anthony, I wonder why she wasn't an Easy, Breezy, Beautiful COVER GIRL, and be a spokesmodel for their cosmetics. Back then, she'd be a beautiful complement to Christie Brinkley. I truly believe that.
@tjrtherocksponge --I think Linda is THE BEST Female Singer....Her vocal range is nothing short of Magnificence. I just love her music for all these years...
@tjrtherocksponge ---Wow Didn't know that about The Eagles. I did notice their names appearing on Linda's albums. I had practically every LP she did. I like this LP here alot, Simple Dreams, right? I really loved Mad Love, and Hasten Down the Wind. I just replaced those on CD so I could listen to them---until I get my turntable and LP's out of storage. Also was Randy Meisner always in The Eagles? I remember him having solo hits, right? I also love ALL of the Eagle's members solo works..
@giaisbomb Randy was an original member of the Eagles and quit after the "Hotel California" album and tour. He was also an original member of Poco back in the late 60's. He was also the original bass player in James Taylors band, ending after the "Sweet Baby James" album came out. He is a terrific performer and singer in his own right.
Love this song ... great vocals and guitar work ... In my opinion, this period of the "Mad Love" album was the best that Linda ever sounded ( the songs were just fantastic ) and looked ( so cute, with the rocker hairstyle ) in her whole career .. Great memories ! ... Wayne
Ah, Linda - the queen of goosebumps. My fav album of 1980 was Mad Love - Linda and great songs. Listening now... Can't wait for 'Justine' I will though. Uh oh, more goosebumps. Know what I mean? She left us so many gems and made so many happy - she's got some good karma know.
Linda is fantastic. This song I heard in 1982 or the first time and still love-it. A March evening, these tunes sounded on a radio of Buenos Aires where I am from. Many Greetings from Argentina!
l love you Linda! She is gorgeous and talented! I don't want to hear anymore negative comments about her, if you do, you are all a bunch of bigoted idiots go find a life where you can sing like this.

@samk1101 Back when Linda was drop dead gorgeous she never thought of herself that way.She has gone through a lot of health issues and still looks fantastic for her age (65) without all the stuff other celebrities do to themselves. We are all so lucky to have had her in our musical lives.
just proving someone wrong.DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTULLY WORKS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTU
But she's happy being who she is and not having to take drugs thinking she could cope being what was expected of her. Linda will always be LINDA. Fat, skinny or polkadotted we adore her. She's a cool lady.
You've got to accept change, life is nothing but change.
Noticed that a lot of people commented on the great guitar playing on this song, but I looked around and unless I missed it, I didn't notice anyone mentioning who the guy playing that mean Strat is/was. It's one of the great session players, song writers, producers you are ever likely to run across; Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar. I honestly don't think there's anyone in the last 40 years he hasn't played with. If you liked Don Henly's 1st three solo offerings for instance, Kootch is all over them.
She is absolutely my favorite female singer,with PURE natural beauty to boot.The lp cover of her with the Stone Ponys 1st album has been on my wall for over 20 years.

Here she sings Little Anthony's majestic hit and turns into gold again. Wow. Linda Ronstadt is so interesting. A fabulous vocalist or rate style and quality - she had a sound. A "Sound". It's just a one-in-history, once only ever sound. She could put her fingerprint onto anything.
Linda Ronstadt is truly one of the most fascinating, remarkable singers in music history. She did renditions of some of THE most FANTASTIC original hits (for example she did her remake of Smokey Robinson's hit) and really, really made them hit songs all over again in the most fabulous way. She is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
listen to the lyrics of this song. if you've ever felt these emotions, it really does hurt so bad. this tune has a an effect on anyone ever put in that position, and so hauntingly remade by ronstadt..
@fifimsp Not really. In fact, in one TV spot, she actually said something to the effect of "they played a really wide variety of music on the Top 40 station where I lived. A Jimmy Gilmer song would play, followed by something by Leonard Bernstein".
To Angie, my dearest friend, for the best times and singing this song with me to ease the pain...driving our class and teachers nuts....thank you for the memories Angie!!!
when music was music instead of bloody noise ! ALL stuff after 2005 is rubbish and repititious rehashes of old songs that are rubbished by modern youth who cant imagine new songs !
@samk1101 Not many can compete in her genre...And then it's just a matter of taste whether you like her or Barbie or whomever...She has been at the pinnacle of her music for a long time...Now I'm sure it's just fun and relaxation and family...Which she deserves...
Impecable voice! She did it with style and grace, didn't need to show her boobs or anythng like that, wear a ton of make-up. She was just about the music. God I love her.
Linda Ronstadt is the only person i've seen that can make the cover song sound better than the original.
