美國歌壇天后［琳達朗絲黛］──傳統流行抒情翻唱──溫馨柔美的［Skylark／雲雀］

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Wont you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someones waiting to be kissed?

Oh Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying?
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom-covered lane

And in your lonely flight
Havent you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will o the wisp
Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

Oh Skylark, I dont know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere, wont you lead me there?
Oh Skylark, wont you lead me there?

１９８３年　美國歌壇搖滾女王琳達朗絲黛（Linda Ronstadt）發行傳統流行／爵士翻唱大碟［What’s New］

叫好叫座（美國＃３　銷售３白金）　並讓她成功轉型為復古抒情歌姬

１９８４年秋天　３８歲的琳達乘勝追擊　發行傳統流行／爵士翻唱大碟［Lush Life／華麗生活］

仍由英國製作人Peter Asher掌舵

首支單曲［Skylark／雲雀］是翻唱Johnny Mercer＆Hoagy Carmichael譜寫　１９４１年出版的傳統流行曲

琳達在優美的弦樂聲中　以溫婉的嗓音演繹　充滿一股歲末溫馨氛圍

［Skylark］與美國單曲百名榜緣慳一面　只拿到＃１０１

成人抒情榜則是＃１２

儘管單曲成績不出色　但［Lush Life］專輯依舊拿到百萬白金唱片（美國榜＃１３）　贏得葛萊美獎最佳專輯包裝與最佳樂器編曲（後者頒給已逝的Nelson Riddle）

並讓朗絲黛再度提名葛萊美最佳流行女歌手

確定其復古歌姬路線的成功
