I saw Karla back stage at the Great Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta...late 70's. She was very humble and sweet...and of course sounded great.

An incredible song no matter who recorded it. Karla Bonoff sounds great. Linda Rondstadt too. It brings back so many memories....I am that old too....we love the 70's!!!!

I will admit up front that have been in love with Linda Ronstadt since 1968, and though Karla was the superior writer (Linda was known mainly for interpreting the work--and launching the careers of--other songwriters, Linda had the superior voice. Listen to her three albums of standards done with Nelson Riddle to hear Linda at the peak of her vocal skills.

Right on! I had this on vinyl when I was a kid in the 70s...yep, I'm that old... I always thought she was vastly more talented than say Linda Ronstadt but apparently the radio stations & labels didn't agree. Linda was the darling for a few years, but Karla was/is the true songwriter/artist.

Karla Bonoff has been my favorite singer/song writer for thirty years.

I had no idea she wrote this. Great, great tune. I've always felt it was Linda Ronstadt's best recording...

Ronstadt has the richer, more colorful voice. But Bonoff's version is quite plaintive and moving --

Good song and I rarely like women singer/songwriters - more in Neil Young, van Morrison, early Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Marshall Crenshaw, etc. But Karla had caught a haunting heartfelt song that can bring one to tears (not me of course!).

While I think it's a great song, it has a much 'lighter', pop-ish feel to it that LR's version. I think Linda brings it home for me because she has a soulful quality to her voice. |
