Nicolette and Linda doing "Rhumba Girl"

[eddiejinnj]

I never knew that at the Lowell George Benefit concert, Nicolette did this song (it was a 1979 single for her peaking at Number 47 Billboard Hot 100) and said a friend of mine is going to join me on this one (sorry, it is a video on YouTube). Nicolette starts doing the song and I love that song by her. She goes through 2 stanzas/sections of the song and then Linda walks up quick to the mike to join the chorus which she does 2 or 3 times and adds background vocals at the end. Am so glad that Linda kind of did this song. I wonder if she ever sang it in its entirety somewhere and hope we get to hear it if it is out there and found. Am not sure if Linda came out as planned or late in the song. If you watch the video, unless it is me looking for it but Nicolette seems to be kind of looking for Linda as she performs. Others let us know what you think!!!! eddiejinnj

Is this the one?

It looks like Linda kinda showed up later than Nicolette expected. Who knows why Linda was late to the mic. Possibly she was held up offstage, or she wanted Nicolete to have the spotlight alone as long as possible or maybe (my favorite theory) she was messing with her good buddy and roommate. I wonder where Linda's appearance here was in the show sequence, was this the first time she was seen?  I bet there is some lucky soul out there that was there! (How did I get three "there's" in one horrid sentence)

By the way I remember the song being on the radio but I didn't know Nicolette did it or if I did I forgot.  I also didn't realize she was so sexy (Linda is very hot in this too)

Also, lest we forget,  that this was a memorial concert for Lowell G. To benefit his Kids. So technically a solemn occasion.

It makes me sad to think how many of these talented people are gone. They all died way too young.

Just seeing these two singing together and getting into it is sexy.I may be gay but Linda may have been the only woman I would have said yes to.Feel really blessed I lived and heard this woman sing all through my life. I really hope she is living as comfortably as possible. To me there will never be a female singer who can come close to what she has meant to me. Happy 69th Birthday tomorrow Linda Ronstadt,your type of talent is sorely missed. Love you Linda ,Brian S.

You're welcome Eddie.
Nicolette's hair weighs more than both those girls.

[eddiejinnj]

hair that length/weight probably could contribute to neck problems etc. but I could be wrong. eddiejinnj
