DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE
Dedicated To The One I Love is a Grammy Award-winning album of Rock classics reinterpreted as children’s lullabies by American singer songwriter Linda Ronstadt. Released in the summer of 1996, it is commonly known among Ronstadt fans as ‘The Lullaby Album’. It reached number 78 – and lasted three months – on the Billboard album chart. It also earned the singer a new career distinction when it hit #1 on the Top Kid Audio chart. This album was reissued on Rhino’s Flashback Records label in 2009. (More from Wikipedia)
In 2004, Linda Ronstadt quietly released Hummin’ to Myself that was recorded with a jazz combo; it made #2 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart. Linda Ronstadt created an album of lullabies crafted from rock standards in 1996 called Dedicated to the One I Love; remarkably, one of these was the Queen arena classic “We Will Rock You”. Her holiday album, A Merry Little Christmas came out in 2000.
