Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou" is from her eighth studio album Simple Dreams. It was originally recorded by Roy Orbison who co-wrote the song with Joe Melson. The song is about missing someone and the simpler times of living on Blue Bayou. "I feel so bad I've got a worried mind / I'm so lonesome all the time / Since I left my baby behind / On Blue Bayou." The song became Ronstadt's biggest hit, earning her Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She also became the first female artist to have two singles in the top 5 at the same time, "Blue Bayou" at #2 and "It's So Easy" at #5. Only The Beatles had accomplished this before.
