The Essential Linda Ronstadt Playlist

[eddiejinnj]

I wanted to let the forum know of this list by Yardbarker. It is one of those articles that you have to scroll through so am not sure how to copy it.

I know there are members that are more computer savvy to do this. eddiejinfl

This has been posted in some form or another every time in the last year or so that Linda got into the news, whether it was "Long Long Time" being used in HBO's The Last Of Us; Ruby Leigh doing that same song as a contestant on (and damned near winner of) the recent season of NBC's The Voice; or Selena Gomez being cast in the Linda biopic. It's an interesting read, but, like so many of these, in the end it's also really not much more than a fluff piece (IMHO).

The article said that YNG eventually became double platinum. I think he means the album HLAW was double platinum but I hope I am wrong.

The RIAA site lists three Linda singles certifications: “Blue Bayou” (platinum, 1 million), “Somewhere Out There,” and “Don’t Know Much” (both gold, 500,000). The HLAW album is listed as double platinum.

What a great list. It sent me right back to Linda’s version of Round Midnight. Thank you.

I would swap out “Heat Wave” for “Lose Again” or “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me.” I know, this could go on forever…
