      Don't you think that charting a single about "goin' down" would have cheapened Linda Ronstadt's image? What are you thinking??? Lucky you're not an A&R man.

      As much as I love her and have been hooked on her for the past years on repeat mode, Karla Bonoff puts more feeling in her original recording

    Great song and wonderful video! I hadn't heard that tune before. Thanks so much. Check out the Linda tribute concert videos for some excellent versions of some of her songs by artists across the generations, including Aaron Neville!

    Where do I put Linda Ronstadt? My shelves are full of her cds my mind is full of her melodies that made every song sound like it was written just for her, my eyes are full of her too I can't take them off her, I could say in my heart but that's so trite. Where do I put Linda Ronstadt from Tucson Arizona? I can't put her anywhere only God is great enough to do that. I'll just listen.

      Ronnie Bishop thx Ronnie. I’m one of the obsessed. Lol. Have been since high school. She’s been my muse and I never get tired of hearing her.

      That was sweet, Ronnie. If it's any consolation, she has made it to her 74th birthday (It's today!), and even though, the "prizes" were never the main thing for her, I think the last several years has given her an opportunity to reflect on her career and soak up the admiration and affection of her worldwide fans. Heard her say her job was "to make us cry." She excelled at that for more than four decades.
      Her voice has fallen but not her star.

    The vocalise (oohs) at the end is a tour de force all its own. So much flexibility and control of sustained tone, breath, vibrato and pitch. Maybe you need to be a singer to really appreciate it. I know I couldn't touch it.

    Falling Star
    Linda Ronstadt
    Oh my heart aches
    Deep inside me
    Oh, how I miss you
    Will you come back?
    Oh, why you leave me?
    Oh, what can I do?
    'Coz every night
    I sit here by the phone
    You know it rings a lot inside my head
    I daydream you're home
    I never knew that it would go this far
    Come pick me up
    I'm going down
    Like a falling star
    And the clock strikes midnight
    And I'm lying here alone
    I can't sleep, I hear my heartbeat
    Oh, I can't stand the monotone
    And every day I have paced the floor
    You know it rains a lot inside my heart
    But I still ask for more
    But now I know that love can leave a scar
    Come pick me up, I'm going down
    Like a falling star
    And when the birds fly south for a while
    Oh, I wish that I could go
    Someone there might warm this cold heart
    Someone there might know
    But every day I have paced the floor
    You know it reigns a lot inside my heart
    But I still ask for more
    But now I know that love can leave a scar
    Come pick me up, I'm going down
    Like a falling star

    I agree. If the studio gods had released this song in 1978, it would have been a hit, maybe #1.
