"Tonight", from the 2021 Steven Spielberg-directed reworking of WEST SIDE STORY, as performed by the film's Tony and Maria, Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler:
And just as an addendum--personally, if ever there should be a dramatic film about Linda, then I think, based on the singing and acting she does under Spielberg's direction in WEST SIDE STORY, that Rachel should be considered seriously for that role.

What Linda could have done maybe was an album of songs from musicals or even whole musicals. Maria Callas in her later career did those for opera. There was WSS album with José Carreras & Kiri Te Kanawa. "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera" are great album hits of the 1980s, later followed by "Chess".
I think Linda as Christine in POTO would be just right. Michelle in Carmen. Mimi in La Bohème just needed a bit more.

This would have been great for a Linda and Emmylou duet.

As Linda/Stone Ponies sang "Just A Little Rain", "December Dream" & "Dolphins", I think she could have sung this Fred Neil song.

I hope I'm not repeating anything I've posted before--but this is a Dylan classic that suits Linda's affinity with the West: "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", which was part of the soundtrack that Dylan wrote for what was arguably the best Western made during the 1970's, director Sam Peckinpah's 1973 classic PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID":

Off topic for Linda discussion maybe, but one thing in the song A Change is Gonna Come has always bothered me. Sam Cooke sings "just like that river, I've been running every since."

Linda would have absolutely nailed Stay by Shakespeare’s Sister.

I am sure Linda would have sung it right. Not sure about that. I believe that was Jim Crow South slang which fits the mood of the song. Spelled ev'r which isn't a far cry from ev're. Cooke was inspired by Dylan's Blowin In The Wind. Some songs you just don't mes's with.

Please try not to laugh. When I was a kid -- back in the Dark Ages -- this was a song I used to play on our old phonograph record player. I think Linda had a sense of humor otherwise she wouldn't have sung "Monster Mash" with Andrew Gold or the parody song "Johnny Alter" ("Johnny Angel") or along with Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman as back-up to Gilda Radner. IF "Dedicated to the One I Love" weren't meant to be a lullaby album, this might have fit on it --

Linda I think had a great sense of humour. You can see it in her performances, photos & hear it in her voice.
"Teddy Bears' Picnic", so nostalgic, great for Nelson Riddle too.

Was thinking about songs where Linda can sing softly and then she starts to belt and this song came to mind. Considering the number of lost-love songs Linda has sung, this seems like it might have met her criteria for song choices. "Absent Minded Me" was written by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill for the Broadway musical of "Funny Girl," but it was cut --

Was watching "Better Things" the other night and this song came on and it seemed like something Linda might have covered in the 1970s --
