She has one of the best female voices ever. I went to see her. She was great. She had one hit after another. Love her Trio album with Emmy Lou and Dolly.
Far out I was 10 when this beautiful woman put this song out and have tried to emulate her ever since...without much luck...and the song has exactly the same effect on me since way back in 1977...you rock Linda :)
I would sing this song during my pregnancy and once my daughter was born I used this as her lullaby. She 6 years old now but when she is feeling sad or not feeling good she would ask me to sing this to her.
I love this song I really got into it after watching Stevehen Kings Dreamcatcher the guy uses the song to block the aliens from reading his mind!! Why is she not in H.O.F. cant think its about politics the Eagles are there and no one rails against the system that made them rich more than them I love them though!!
i'm going back someday come what may to blue bayou......where the folks are fine... and the world is mine on blue bayou.......where those fishing boats.......with their sails afloat, if i could only see.....
Again, I've fallen in love. Linda, I love you. What would it take for you to fall for a destitute mycologist who spends his time on spiderman comics and lunchmeat fungi? Is there a chance? Please?
@monomeghann I think the cheerleading group might have done routines to it. I don't remember for sure, or maybe I just got pissed off trying to listen to it backwards. Neither one of those reasons has anything to do with the song. I actually had the 45 and it got ruined and the needle on the record player did too.
how can this woman not be in the rock n roll hall of fame? I just sent them an email telling them i wouldn't visit their museum or give them my money. How can a "museum" be taken seriously if their owner tries to RE-WRITE history b/c he had a feud with a particular artist. Let them know what you think... here's the link staff@rockhall.org
@alexcaracas69 Actually that is not true....Her political views are so left that she would easily get in if that were the case....No, why aren't the Moody Blues there....and many other greats...It's because it's controlled by a bunch of fucking morons....
Linda Ronstadt is BAR NONE the finest interpreter of songs EVER in the history of recording artists using that unmistakably awesome voice of hers and applying it to ANY GENRE of music....she has a knack for taking someone else's song, adding her own flavor and spicing it up to produce a hit record, be it rock, country, easy listening, mariachi, contemporary classics, or pop - SHE'S THE BOMB! Notice the striking resemblance of her (early photos) with another rising pop sensation - Selena Gomez.
my aunt carol is to blame for my undying love for linda! as a kid , i'd go over to her house often, and she'd be cleaning and playing linda's albums especially "simple dreams". i've been in love with her forever now. a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice! i listen to her daily. never tire of her! waiting for her to announce some shows here in southern calif and even better a new album! i can only dream! did i say i love linda ronstadt?!
As a kid I loved Linda and still do she was so hot, and what a beautiful voice......bring music back the music has been gone for a long time starting from the 90's.......
I wish I could've been at the Troubadour (an LA country rock club) back in the early seventies before acts like Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and the Eagles made it big. That must have been amazing.
Baby don't worry. I'm yours now and forever. I'm so sorry, I know I upset you and that wasn't my intension. After we talked I felt much better as always. There is nothing I want more than to be with you but I do understand. You're worth waiting for my love.
Sometimes they call certain kinds of home runs "Linda Ronstadts", because they "blew by you"... Although I know that Roy Orbison sang this first, like MANY of Linda's covers, her version is more interesting...
This woman has one of the most amazing voices ever! When I was a kid, I would practice singing to her "Simple Dreams Album" ehh--hem on an 8-track.... remember the eight track? Occasionally the songs would go silent for a moment when they clicked to another track... ahh yes, the good ol' days....
@littlebirdsings17 I not only remember 8 track tapes, but my dad would peruse the discount rack at the gas stations while we were on a road trip so we had new music to play in the car. Good old days and great old memories...
her enunciation meets the ache that makes me cry as it's not just a pronounced statement; the way somehow almost ironically i found roy orbinson's version of this giving it a perspective of confidence more than missing be strongly noted, which is strange because he so clearly meets that hearbeat with some other words. however it is not borderline beautiful to bring me out of my feeling of wanting to exit an mcs mixed isolation or long even for paradise as we can inch but where's our feet but by~
She has one of the best female voices ever. I went to see her. She was great. She had one hit after another. Love her Trio album with Emmy Lou and Dolly.

Brains, beauty (both inside & out) and unparalleled talent.
Since I first heard her in 1967, I’ve been a huge fan (and I must admit have had a secret crush on her like so many other men).
She has brought joy to many millions with her incomparable vocals, angelic voice and good deeds.
Johnnie Carson put it best, after hearing her sing, “When You Wish Upon a Star”, he said, “Now that’s real class!”
She is truly a national treasure.
Happy Birthday, Linda and best wishes for many more!
