I always think of "When Will I Be Loved" as a fun, upbeat song, in spite of its lyrics. I suppose that was the original intent. As far as I can recall (and also by looking at a list of her charting singles) I first became aware of Linda Ronstadt with her early 1975 hit "You're No Good." However, it was followed so closely by "When Will I Be Loved" that now, with my increasingly "fuzzy" memory, I tend to think of the latter as being my "first" by her.
Thanks for that great video.
I think I will share my favorite Linda Ronstadt song of all time tomorrow. I've been looking for an excuse, even though most people probably won't agree or care. 😉 LOL.
Who can decide?
