Linda Ronstadt

Post by grooverider »

For Linda Ronstadt fans, the latest edition of "Record Collector" magazine (December 2013) has an informative and a very moving interview with her. Quoting Ms. Ronstadt: "At the height of my ability, I think I could have sung "I Stil Have That Other Girl" really well. I'd recorded "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and got a really nice letter from Burt saying he loved the way I sang it. It was really nice." Then the interviewer asks her if there is a song that got away, one she wished she had recorded and she mentions that same Bacharach & Costello song, "I Still Have That Other Girl".

That we won't hear her interpretation of that collaboration, it's heartbreaking, that her singing voice is silenced, it's truly our loss.

Here's "Anyone Who had A Heart":
