"I'm a Fool To Want You" Linda Ronstadt

[cdee12120]

Billie Holiday's version in my opinion is the best.. because by that point in her career she was a broken woman.. every man in her life used and abused and left her for broke.... the song was her life.. her pain comes through .. Rondstadt is just singing this.. even Frank takes second to Holiday.

Wife worked for Linda for 15 years-10 years ago and she is Truely the most wonderful person I have ever known in the industry. Sweet as sweet she is.What a voice, my eyes leak with joy when she sings. She can take any song and make it new.

So beautiful...

All Linda ever did was covers.And the originals were always better.weather it was Billy Holiday or Buddy Holly.The only reason she was such a big hit in the Seventies is because back then we all wanted to fuck her.

You're sick! It's music that we are talking about not your vision or dream-try using your other hand....

@maxwelld1961 You are a fucking IDIOT,

I have loved and hated this song for years...it is so sad and beautiful and is how I feel...loving a man who does not care only continues to break my heart.

I have always love this song...Ever since I first heard it...Such a beautiful piece of music...One Frank Sinatra's best ever.

I've read that Sinatra was longing for Ava Gardner when this was written.

[Thornheart6]

That's what I heard.

@catman916 just to remind you he did not write the song, it was originally Billie Holiday's but I'm not surprised if he was longing for Ava Gardner when he did this remake of the song.

[catman916]

@Christiangurl09 All the sources that I have checked credit Sinatra as one of he writers.

[colujomes]

@catman916 I can't comment on this song directly, but it was common before the 1960s for performers to claim a songwriting credit on a copyright despite the fact that they didn't actually write any of it. Songwriters were willing to hand over a third of the credit if it meant that a star (Elvis Presley, for example) would record their song and turn it into a hit.

@Christiangurl09 Sinatra did write this song with Herron and Wolf in 1951 as a single for Columbia, this is confirmed with Barton Music Corp, the rights holder and I confirmed over at Harry Fox Agency (which administers the mechanical rights). Lady Day didn't do the song until her final album Lady In Satin in 1958.

@Christiangurl09 Elton John wrote this song,, and later gave it to Frank to sing!

[Christiangurl09]

@Thornheart6 but dont forget that it was originally sang by Billy Holiday :-) she does a great job too

A fine reading of a Sinatra classic. Just beautiful.

[catman916]

It is indeed. I once tried posting Frank Sinatra's Capitol recording, but it was blocked.
