Linda Ronstadt : Arrangements for Treble Voices

"When Will I Be Loved" - Originally recorded by the Everly Brothers and made an even bigger hit by Linda Ronstadt (#2, 1975), this gutsy girls' tune will be a super showcase for your SSA group. "Blue Bayou" - Linda Ronstadt flew to number three on the charts with this Roy Orbison hit. Feature a soloist or your soprano section in this relaxed arrangement by Mac Huff. "Tracks of My Tears" - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles first introduced this pop-hit in 1965 and Linda Ronstadt had a huge hit with it in 1975 followed by numerous singers thereafter. It's a soulful, laid-back arrangement that works well for women's groups.

This Buddy Holly-penned single Ronstadt released at the height of her career in 1977 will easily sit with a choir looking for a country rock staple that sings with ease!
