Orbison, Roy

Oh, Pretty Woman 1964

The single version had to be changed from the LP's lyrics "come with me baby" to "come to me baby" because it was considered too suggestive.

Pop Rock

We want to mention the extremely talented Nicolette Larson because she tends to be underrated and generally forgotten (guilty) so let's give her some love. She provided many backround vocals in the 1970s and became a solo artist in 1978 with her self-titled debut album, Nicolette.

Hopefully we can post more of her songs and collaborations/backround vocals throughout the day...We really like her and she was taken away from us way too young, at the age of 45.

Here's the song she is most widely known for, Lotta Love 1978

Pop/Punk Rock

Wikipedia, "Many veteran acts, including Fleetwood Mac, Carly Simon, Heart, Queen, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, made sincere (and often successful) efforts to revitalize their sound by adopting aspects of the stripped-down, unpretentious D.I.Y. punk and new wave aesthetic. Mad Love was Ronstadt's response to this trend."

From Linda Ronstadt's 10th studio album, Mad Love 1980, Ronstadt's friend Nicolette Larson provided backup vocals for 3 tracks...

How Do I Make You

I Can't Let Go

Girls Talk

Here is I Can't Let Go, which was originally recorded by English band The Hollies in 1966
