For some reason, When Will I be Loved popped into my head when I read your question. She had so many I liked but that is the one that immediately came to mind.
I love her! It's tough to pick just one. I remember Willin being so iconic among her fans back in the 70's. Desperado and Blue Bayou are staples. But I'll go with her breakthrough hit You're No Good.
I bought her greatest hits CD two weeks ago and there's something about It's So Easy and Just One Look that is infectious, puts-me-in-a-really-good mood. The way she interprets the songs. Same goes for When Will I be Loved. #oldsoulhere
I was surprised when I ripped all my old CDs to find a) how much I liked her music on a relisten, b) how many hits she had, and c) how many of her hits were cover songs. But the cover version was usually BETTER than the original.
I was never a big fan of her's but "When Will I Be Loved" popped into mind first.
I liked her "Blue Bayou" until I heard Roy Orbison's version, which struck me as deeper and more touching than Linda's.
I feel so bad about her illness. I heard her say in an interview that since she didn't write as much original stuff as other artists, her royalties are sadly comparatively modest.

ReplyDeleteIt's not the popular choice - as she had bigger hits, but most of those were covers - but i've always been a fan of "Heart Like a Wheel"

ReplyDeleteDidn't she sing "Desperado" before the Eagles. Of , course there is the album with Emmylou Harris et al. Time stamp Blue Bayou !
