Bless her, she had to give up singing a long time ago due to PSP. I can't imagine ever having such a beautiful voice as she had, and to lose it in such a cruel way...

I had this album in high school and this was absolutely my favorite song. Even my mother sang it. Happy Birthday, beautiful lady!

What's New is an album of traditional pop standards released by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt in 1983. It represents the first in a trilogy of 1980s albums Ronstadt recorded with bandleader/arranger Nelson Riddle.
The album was a major change in direction because Ronstadt was then considered the leading female vocalist in rock.[1][2][3] Both her record company and manager, Peter Asher, were very reluctant to produce this album with Ronstadt, but eventually her determination won them over and the albums exposed a whole new generation to the sounds of the pre-swing and swing eras.[4] The one-time popular music sung by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, and their contemporaries was relegated in the 1960s and 1970s to Las Vegas club acts and elevator music. Ronstadt later remarked that she did her part in rescuing these songs which she called "little jewels of artistic expression" from "spending the rest of their lives riding up and down on the elevators."[5] The album's second single, "I've Got a Crush on You" had already been part of Ronstadt's repertoire for several years, as she'd performed it during a 1980 appearance on The Muppet Show.
An hour concert that shows her versatile and wonderful voice.

Wow. I was supposed to go to that concert but I got sick. I was so looking so forward to it because I was going to take the trip to Tucson with my friends and we were going to stay in Tucson for the night. Such a big deal to do back then..lol.

Happy Birthday Linda Ronstadt: She is one of my favorites and in my opinion, she has one of the most beautiful voices ever!
I still listen to her. My favorites by her are "That'll Be The Day", "Desperado", and "Blue Bayou". She had a lot of voice for such a little lady! She poured her heart and soul into every song. I remember her with love and wish her the best.
