Linda on Blue Bayou With The Muppets

[erik]

This won't come as an ultimate revelation to us, but Rolling Stone here recounts Linda's 1980 appearance on The Muppet Show, doing "Blue Bayou" in the swamp, plus Linda's chart performance with her recording of that song in 1977:

Where does the time go? Linda is so earnest with the critters - we know she is the greatest female singer and "acting" was not her bag - but she seemed natural with the muppets (especially When I Grow too Old to Dream). Jim Henson had a hard crush on her - his son recently revealed his Dad was perhaps in love with her. Ahhhhh....

This must be where I got the idea of the flashback thread lol. Jim Henson also supposedly had a "thing" for Linda which is lucky for us as her appearances in his shows were classic. Linda looks like she was about to crack up at times. It was no small thing to walk around that swamp as there are so many holes to fall through.

This is hilarious. Just found it.
