Linda Ronstadt "You're No Good" (Studio Version)

[karrtt1234]

I am pretty sure that Cissy Houston did the back up for Linda on this track.

[gldtng0867]

This is dedicated to my ex wife.

[ljfarrell]

Van Halen's version is better--much more atmosphere

[TWAspacefairy75]

YOU GO GIRL!!

[JimmySmithWesson]

Hmm, I like the original by Betty Everett much more.

[edmanrocks]

cool bass line at bridge and outro

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

That last minute of this song alone could've been even longer, and there also could've been a similar motif at the start of the tune.

[singerman121]

Good song !!!

[thericate]

@Bassylover you didnt dump me, i dumped you

[Bassylover]

@thericate Do I even know you? >.>

[MischiefMaker37]

Did you know she is talking about Dave Coulier in this song?

[NYChica23]

@MischiefMaker37 He really got around...first Linda, then Alanis ♥♥

[roquey44]

@NYChica23 Damn, how old was Dave when he got with Linda? Five? LOL.

[SuperLilred03]

@MischiefMaker37- no i dont think so. the dave coulier thing with alanis was back in the 80'-90's somewhere, he would not be old enough to date linda.im sure if you googled the song you might find if she is talking about a certain someone or not

[xMonZtoR]

Powerful

[lisamarieflatttompki]

HE IS NO GOOD

[metaltildeath4eva]

The one person who disliked this, obviously hates music.

[1exteme1]

@metaltildeath4eva or doesn't like the song..

[metaltildeath4eva]

@1exteme1 No..I'm going with they hate music :)

[metaltildeath4eva]

She's NOT from this planet. One of the GREATEST EVER!!!

[metallegion501]

as pablo francisco would say ok ok i'm not cool...

[vaaredman]

This song brings me back to early 1976 and breaking up with a no good boyfriend. Thanks for the memories and I agree, an up-all-night visual was perfect for this song, especially since you don't sleep well at all when you go through a hard breakup.

[GhostSniper1981]

@vaaredman I know the feeling, I went through a very rough breakup. My ex fiance cheated on me with 4 other guys and now she is having another kid with one of those 4 she cheated on me with, so this song perfectly describes her. She is no good.

[jwbrough1]

she could wail

[minoutaure52]

le who's who californien sur cette incroyable reprise.Linda pour la posterité !....dans le pantheon des plus belles voix americaines

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

You gotta love the Wurlitzer (or Fender-Rhodes) piano and the ARP Solina string synths in this tune.

[suzylnkn]

I think you mean have his cake and Edith too!

[mrmusiclover121970]

this song reminds me of my dad taking off all the time when i was little. hey i cant change my dads attitudenor would i be so inclined to. i like this song nonetheless. not all of my memories are peachy cream,a lot are though, i had great childhood friends.. thats life . abig box of chocolates?

[roquey44]

Notice, no one's tried to remake this one. I don't think it could be done. Kinda like when Gloria Estefan remade Carol King's "It's too late." It was ok, but it just doesn't hold up to the original. Ronstadt's "No Good" ain't the original, but it is better.

[roquey44]

Gold's guitar? The backing vocals of Bonoff and Larson do it for me.

[karrak2]

Linda is great in this song, and I see there's one person who's no good. ;)

[dennycrook36]

i'm no good lol

[calalilygirl]

Between her voice and his guitar this song IS the real deal.....songs Rocks!

[calalilygirl]

Between her voice and his guitar this song IS the real deal.....songs Rocks!

[fz9153]

To my ex wife who left after 24 years -- you're no good.

[joshp912]

this song is THE SHIT!



[canway66]

@shack8110 you know it does me too...not quite sure what it is about that last minute of the song but it haunts me its so beautiful.

[sandinyourshoes]

When Van Halen did this for Van Halen II, I was so glad the boys did it differently, not copying Linda. Then again, both versions are wonderful.

[kc5cxu]

This is to all my ex girl friends who used me or cheated on me baby your no good!

[itsyounmesweetie]

Yes I was just thinking about how the guitar was key in this song!

[toopoable]

I love that the last 2/3rds of this song are all about emotion, expressed through guitar soloing. You pretty much have to admit that Andrew Gold is the co-lead-vocalist here.

[swimmerB0B]

and all these years i thought it was waddy wachtel... thanks!

[soureen21]

Linda's voice makes the song pretty much as well; love the ending

[luis055418]

Este tema musical me trae muchos recuerdos al ano 1975

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@fdkf08

This particular movement ... the bass track could easily be done with a Minimoog synthesizer.

[EasilyWowed]

Linda gave this song, much respect. Don't forget: Ms. Betty Everett. She did this song FIRST! Linda did it kindness.

[shack8110]

The last minute of this tune makes my heart ache. So beautiful. Goes great with a special friend and a big fat one. What cityscape are we looking at?

[limberger66]

@shack8110

It's the Chicago lakefront. Has nothing to do with Ronstadt or this song except that it has kind of a "been-up-all-night" feeling.

[Yestrooper1]

@limberger66 Where about in Chicago is that? I don't quite recognize it.

[limberger66]

@Yestrooper1 6200 n sheridan rd

[gumbyman540]

@shack8110 , when you say, "a big fat one", are you referring to a doobie, a penis or a vagina? Please do reveal.

[samhain6677]

@gumbyman540 why a doobie, of course

[gumbyman540]

@samhain6677 , oh yeah!

[ogrebattle22763]

Cool post DIG Linda Ronstadt......

[MegaJohnson64]

Vocally and sensually, a find performer, but she never wrote her own material. I would say a great interpretative artist. What would Gov. Brown recall about her?

[1stfamilyent]

To my ex who thinks he can have his cake and eat it too.

[NickRatnieks]

Andrew Gold's guitar makes this record.

[1954tele]

@NickRatnieks; You're absolutely right ! He was one of the underestimated-underappreciate­d guitarists of that period. His ability to turn it on when summoned is impressive.

[GABBIIZndCATHIIZ]

love this song!.. =D

[27napier]

Too much this song........one of the best I reacon

[WWECLMAN]

Thanks for the song there, sunshine. But "You're No Good" is my favorite song in the world.

[jbmando]

One of my favorite guitar recordings of all time. RIP Andrew Gold.

[Ngapare]

My fav Linda Ronstadt song:)

[marksmail2]

[MrPaboy69]

my father's band played this when i was a kid. singer was named Denise. she was this good (from memory; i'm now in my forties). every time i hear this i wish i was twelve again.......

[amvfan82]

[christina1276]

[Shadywolf09]

Wanted to find this song for the longest time after watching My Best Friend's Girl in the opening credits.

[capitachik72]
