Poster Comment: Time to cleanse the palate with a catchy little Juice Newton ditty. So what? Late 70s and 80s pop videos were the best.

I had always thought that this song was written by Dave Edmunds - turns out it was written by the pedal steel guitar player in Emmy Lou Harris' band, Hank DeVito. I like both her version and Edmunds'.
I have and like both versions too; been a Dave Edmunds fan since he was a new act. Rockpile, baby; about as good as short pop tunes ever got.
Check this one out (from 2000)
Were you guys into Linda Ronstadt at all? This wasn't nearly my favorite Ronstadt ditty, but this particular LIVE performance is just spectacular. A Top 3 IMHO. Rounding out the Top 3 spectacular live performances: Lou Reed's 'Sweet Jane' (R&R Animal), featuring Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter. Dire Straits, 'Sultan of Swing', Alchemy. (Hank, you wound up buying that CD/DVD, right?) What a band this was! Watch/listen to how sync and tight these guys are, the joy and passion as Linda exhorts them on. No AM station would ever allow the rides and this song to go on 6 minutes. They tore it up. Andrew Gold (had his own band, never knew how good on guitar his was, besides proficiency on piano), Kenny Edwards (under-rated vocalist, bassist), Waddy Wachtel (great long-time guitar sessions guy, still plays for Keith Richards), Dan Dugmore (pedal steel), Brock Walsh (keyboards) and Mike Botts ( drummer from Bread.)
Were you guys into Linda Ronstadt at all? Yes indeed, despite her ill-advised romance with Governor Moonbeam. She was young and naive so I'll give her a pass on that one. Sad - she has lost her voice due to Parkinson's disease.
Yes indeed, despite her ill-advised romance with Governor Moonbeam. She was young and naive so I'll give her a pass on that one. Tremendous powerhouse vocals. She could belt 'em out. No one re-worked then covered other artists material like Ronstadt. AND...made it sound much better. Amazing. Yeah, she was really cute. She did have a naive quality and seemed exceptionally genuine. Her Moonbeam "romance"...UGH. But was it REALLY?? NEVER made any sense, did it? Sure, she was young...but...is it possibe they each others beard? (Rumors in later years were that she swung both ways.) Btw, on this vid, check out how these guys at the sound-board all light up like little boys as soon as Linda turns her attention toward them. Everyone must have had a crush on her. Man, back then...LIVE. What professionals. (The band = Same basic line-up as in the above 'You're No Good' vid.)
Her cover of The Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved" is an outstanding version of that 50's classic. A couple others I really liked were Little Feat's "Willin" (great trucker song) and "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" a 1956 Wanda Jackson song - I thought Hank wrote it but I was wrong.

I agree. She made it hers, totally. Probably my favorite Ronstadt tune.
