When Will I Be Loved? - Linda Ronstadt - MP3 instrumental karaoke

A heartbreaking tune about yearning for true love after years of emotional hardships, the rockabilly-tinged classic "When Will I Be Loved?" was written by Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers, who turned it into a US Top 10 hit in 1960. Recorded during their transition from Cadence to Warner Brothers, the original version of the song reached Number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 4 on the Official UK Singles Chart. In 1975, American singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt further popularized the track, releasing it as the second single from her fifth studio album Heart Like a Wheel alongside a cover of Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore." Featuring a couple of rearranged verses, Linda Ronstadt's version peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, only surpassed by Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together." Shortly after its commercial release, it also reached the top of the country charts in both Canada and the United States.
