To this day Linda Ronstadt is still one of the most famous and successful women in music that’s ever come along. Her career has hit a great number of high points and she’s managed to amass a legion of loyal followers that have put her on the musical map and solidified her legend. Her upbringing was fairly common and there didn’t seem to be a lot of problems that she had to deal with outside the norm of any young woman growing up in her era, which no doubt contributed to her great success. The number of nominations and awards she managed to rack up throughout the years is absolutely impressive, and the fact that she was at one time the highest paid woman in rock is nothing short of phenomenal. Sadly though she admitted that she had Parkinson’s disease at one point and could no longer sing a note. Her legacy is secure though, and quite solid.
Here are her songs as they’ve been used in TV and in movies.

1. Man On Fire – Blue Bayou
Creasy was a man that was about to self-destruct before he met Pita. The whole idea of putting a bullet in his head was the only way he could get the memories to end supposedly, but when a misfire occurred and he found himself still alive, Creasy began to think that there was something else that he still needed to do. When Pita managed to reach past his stone facade she showed him it was okay to live again, and after that he was a very different man. But when kidnappers took Pita and supposedly killed her Creasy became the killer again, and there was no one on earth that was going to stop him from finding out who killed Pita.
Linda Ronstadt had a lot of feeling in her songs, and it shows in every track that’s featured in popular media.

2. An American Tail – Somewhere Out There
This was one of the absolute best animated films when it came out and it was one of those that kids wanted to watch over and over and over again. For a good long while this film managed to be one of the most popular kids films that had ever come out. It was eventually replaced on the charts of course but when adults look back at this now they can’t help but feel at least a little nostalgic when they think about Fievel and all the things he had to go through in order to get back to his family. It was followed by Fievel Goes West, but the sequel didn’t do nearly as good since it wasn’t quite the same effect.

3. My Best Friend’s Girl – You’re No Good
What is it about guys that act like jerks that attracts women? Some say it’s the confidence, others say it’s the fact that they want to be treated rudely because they like it somehow. I don’t know about the latter but the confidence is definitely a big draw for some women. The ironic part is that Tank really isn’t a bad guy, he simply acts that way when he’s doing business so that the women he goes after will see that the man they were with before is in fact their best choice when it comes to love. The only problem is when he takes on an assignment for someone he’s particularly close to and ends up falling for the woman.

4. Preacher – Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
(the "Genesis" scene it was used in continually gets cut from youtube)
Faith has certainly taken a different turn throughout the years as a preacher like this guy wold no doubt be called every bit the same as the villainous forces that he fights against if he’d emerged decades earlier. The fact that he’s a chain-smoking preacher that questions his faith and has a friend that’s a vampire seems like enough to say that he’s not exactly one hundred percent faithful, but tack on the fact that he’s also a fighter and you might think that he’s anything but a man of the cloth. But then again since he does have the kind of power needed to combat the darkness one might think again.

5. The Simpsons – Gainesville
The Simpsons have been notorious for taking on pretty much any musical or pop culture celebrity they can when it comes to including them as a character in the show or taking their music as a part of the soundtrack. At this time it seems like making a comprehensive soundtrack to the show would be a library unto itself since it’s utilized so many different songs throughout the years that trying to list them all would create a mini-library that would take hours if not days to listen to. But one thing you can say about the creator of the Simpsons is that there’s a lot of good taste when it comes to music.

10. THE WONDER YEARS - GOODBYE MY FRIEND
The Wonder Years (S03E043) - Goodbye
I remember this scene so well. This was the most touching episode of the series. It had me in tears.
"Good-bye" is the twentieth episode of the third season of The Wonder Years and the forty-third episode overall. "Good-bye" aired on April 24, 1990 on the ABC network. The episode revolves around the relationship between Kevin Arnold and his math teacher, Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins pushes Kevin to succeed in math. Kevin becomes antagonistic towards his teacher when he feels Collins is ignoring him, only to become regretful when tragedy befalls Mr. Collins.
The episode was well received by the critical community at the time. It has been retrospectively considered a classic episode of the series. Bob Brush won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for his work on scripting this episode.

If you ever watched tv in the 1990's you probably saw this commercial. I read this was a clip from a song Linda recorded but never released. Great song.

I loved watching Wonder Years when I was in junior high. I rewatched it when reruns aired on some Canadian station close to ten years ago. Goodbye my friend was the perfect song for that episode's final scene. Her appearance on the classic Mr. Plow episode of Simpsons helped introduce her to younger fans.

Maybe I'll Be Home In The Spring was one of two songs in that movie. The other was called Different Day or This Is Going To Be A Different Day. It was a fun, breezy song.Found it: it starts about 44 minutes into the movie.

 “Live in Hollywood” comes at a time when Ronstadt’s life and career are being explored in considerably greater depth by actor-filmmaker James Keach in a new documentary slated to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April and air on CNN this year.
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice (Promo)
Here is the official movie trailer:
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice | Official Trailer
Greenwich Entertainment

Since bursting onto the music scene in 1967, Linda Ronstadt has been an icon for more than 50 years. Her extraordinary vocal range and ambition created unforgettable songs across rock, pop, country, folk ballads, American standards, classic Mexican music and soul. As the most popular female recording artist of the 1970s – with songs like “You’re No Good,” “When Will I Be Loved,” and “Blue Bayou”—Ronstadt filled huge arenas and produced an astounding eleven Platinum albums. Ronstadt was the first artist to top the Pop, Country, and R&B charts simultaneously, she won 10 Grammy ® Awards on 26 nominations and attained a level of stardom the Tucson native never could have imagined.
In LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, Ronstadt is our guide through her early years of singing Mexican canciones with her family; her folk days with the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the “rock queen” of the ‘70s and early ’80s. She was a pioneer for women in the male-dominated music industry; a passionate advocate for human rights, and had a high-profile romance with California Governor Jerry Brown. Ultimately, her singing voice was stilled by illness and forced her into retirement but her music and influence remain as timeless as ever. With moving performance footage and appearances by friends and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE celebrates an artist whose desire to share the music she loved made generations of fans fall in love with her — and the sound of her voice.
Release Date: September 6, 2019

FM Linda Ronstadt - FM 1978en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_(film)FM is a 1978 film about internal conflicts at an FM radio station directed by John A. Alonzo and starring Michael Brandon, Eileen Brennan, Alex Karras, Cleavon Little, Martin Mull, and Cassie Yates. The screenplay was written by Ezra Sacks.
This film was produced by Universal Pictures and originally released to theaters in the spring of 1978.
Plot
Q-SKY radio station manager/program director Jeff Dugan (Michael Brandon) builds a large fan base by assembling a group of charismatic DJ personalities playing popular rock and roll. (Screenwriter Ezra Sacks worked at Los Angeles' fabled FM station KMET in the early 70s, and Jeff Dugan is based loosely on KMET program director Mike Herrington.) He soon finds that corporate management expects Jeff to use the station's position atop the ratings to sell more advertising time.
The conflict grows until sales manager Regis Lamar (Tom Tarpey) presents him with the chance to advertise for the U.S. Army using a series of cheesy radio ads. When Jeff refuses to endorse the contract, Regis takes the issue to upper management. Jeff is then ordered to run the ads as provided by the Army and on the schedule specified in the advertising contract. Rather than comply, Jeff quits his job. All of the remaining DJs decide to take control of the station in a sort of lock-in/sit-in/protest. They get listeners to gather in the street outside the station as a sort of protest while the DJs play music without any commercials. Jeff Dugan wakes up to hear the DJs take control of the station. The crowd is already present when he arrives at the station. The DJs lift him up to the second story with a fire hose as they have already barricaded the front doors. The lock-in lasts only until the police get an injunction to remove the staff. A tow truck rips off the front doors and the police enter the building. The DJs battle back using a fire hose and throwing tapes and other office objects at the police. The battle is resolved when Dugan finds himself fighting a policeman outside on an overhang. Jeff saves the policeman from falling off and decides that fighting is the wrong thing to do. He calms the crowd and announces that the DJs are coming out. Unknown to him, the company owner, Carl Billings (Norman Lloyd), has watched from the crowd as the events unfolded. He insists that the DJs stay in the station, fires his management staff responsible for the advertising conflict, and then joins the DJs inside the station.
Cast
Michael Brandon as Jeff Dugan
Eileen Brennan as Mother
Alex Karras as Doc (Holiday)
Cleavon Little as Prince of Darkness
Martin Mull as Eric Swan
Cassie Yates as Laura Coe
Norman Lloyd as Carl Billings
Jay Fenichel as Bobby Douglas
James Keach as Lt. Reach
Joe Smith as Albert Driscoll
Tom Tarpey as Regis Lamar
Background
The story unfolds across a background of concerts, broadcast music, appearances by various rock stars, and public appearances by the station's DJs. A minor subtheme to the film is the competition between QSKY and another area radio station, KLAX. The major event of that subtheme occurs when Jeff arranges to broadcast a live concert by Linda Ronstadt that is being sponsored by a competing radio station. Another minor subtheme is the ongoing task of massaging egos of the various DJs to keep them happy and on the air.
Martin Mull appears in his feature film debut as a zoned-out record spinner. He plays Eric Swan, a libidinous disc jockey with eyes for everyone female. The character is self-centered, smarmy, quick tempered, and overbearingly insincere. During the course of the film, Swan beds a supposed girlfriend, encounters a female fan with a peculiar physical "gift", and barricades himself in owing to a severe emotional breakdown due to his agent's dropping him and his girlfriend's leaving him, all within the confines of QSKY's studio. Also rounding out the cast are Cleavon Little, who plays the Prince of Darkness, QSKY's overnight host (Little had previously played a disc jockey in the 1971 film Vanishing Point); Eileen Brennan as "Mother", the 40-something nighttime DJ; Alex Karras as "Doc Holiday", the midday DJ with the lowest ratings on the station who is eventually let go from the station; Cassie Yates as Laura Coe, who takes over Doc's midday slot; and Tom Tarpey as new sales manager Regis Lamar, the bane of the disk jockeys' existence. In addition, the film includes live appearances by Tom Petty & REO Speedwagon and live performances by Linda Ronstadt & Jimmy Buffett. Steely Dan performed the title theme, which became a sizable hit. The Eagles, James Taylor, Bob Seger, Dan Fogelberg, Billy Joel, and Queen were featured on the Platinum-plus soundtrack album.
Record company executive Irving Azoff participated in the making of the film as executive producer, but he disowned it before release and asked that his name be removed from the credits, a request which Universal agreed to.[2] Azoff said the film was "not an authentic representation of the music business" and that the studio reneged on its promise to allow him creative control over it, particularly regarding selections of music.[3]
