Song #347: "When Will I Be Loved"--Linda Ronstadt (1975)

One of the easiest premises to write about. In two short minutes, the great Linda Ronstadt asks the simple question, "When Will I Be Loved?".

She's tired of being put down and pushed around, and now wonders if she'll be able to recognize true love when it comes her way, since previous attempts ended in heartache, heart breaks and lies.

And, all the while she's asking this and lamenting her past, you find yourself singing along, maybe agreeing wholeheartedly with her, in this upbeat classic about a subject that's been around, well, as long as love has been.

It's a brilliant symphony concerning a universal subject in a fantastic sing along.

Congratulations to Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers for composing the song, and making a hit with it in 1960. Fifteen years later, Ronstadt took it to another level. Much more from Linda as the countdown rolls on.  :)
