    The trio of albums Rondstat did with Nelson Riddle (this is from the first), are some of the best music she's ever done, and went a long way attenuating my anger that she'd ever touched "Heat Wave." I'm not sure how many of the songs got performance videos like this, but "What'll I Do" is fantastic and so is "Skylark." Really terrific work.

    Ms. Ronstadt's first appearance on national tv was the Johnny Cash Show. She sang a duet with him. She appeared on Glenn Campbell's show. When Glenn was dying, he was asked about his greatest experience singing, and he said it was singing a duet with Linda Ronstadt. In 1974 she won the award as Best New Female Artist from the Academy of Country Music. In 1976, Ms. Ronstadt' received the Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance - Female. In 1988, she received another Grammy for Trio, the country album that she made with Dolly and Emmylou, and in 2000 won a second country Grammy with those two stars. Just on the country charts, she sold more records than most of the people in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Why isn't Ms. Ronstadt in the CMHOF?

    You wore down my resistance
    I fell
    And it was swell
    You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
    How I won you I will never never know
    It's not that you're attractive
    But oh my heart grew active
    When you came into view
    I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
    All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
    I never had the least notion
    That I could fall with so much emotion
    Could you coo
    Could you care
    For a cunning cottage we could share
    The world will pardon my mush
    Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
