With roots in the Los Angeles country and folk-rock scenes, Linda Ronstadt became one of the most popular interpretive singers of the ’70s, earning a string of platinum-selling albums and Top 40 singles. Throughout the ’70s, her laid-back pop never lost sight of her folky roots, yet as she moved into the ’80s, she began to change her sound with the times, adding new wave influences. After a brief flirtation with pre-rock pop, Ronstadt settled into a pattern of adult contemporary pop and Latin albums, sustaining her popularity in both fields.
While Ronstadt was a student at Arizona State University, she met guitarist Bob Kimmel. The duo moved to Los Angeles, where guitarist/songwriter Kenny Edwards joined the pair. Calling themselves the Stone Poneys, the group became a leading attraction on California’s folk circuit, recording their first album in 1967. The band’s second album, Evergreen, Vol. 2, featured the Top 20 hit “Different Drum,” which was written by Michael Nesmith. After recording one more album with the group, Ronstadt left for a solo career at the end of 1968.
Ronstadt’s first two solo albums — Hand Sown Home Grown (1969) and Silk Purse (1970) — accentuated her country roots, featuring several honky tonk numbers. Released in 1971, her self-titled third album was a pivotal record in her career. Featuring a group of session musicians who would later form the Eagles, the album was a softer, more laid-back variation of the country-rock she had been recording. With the inclusion of songs from singer/songwriters like Jackson Browne, Neil Young, and Eric Anderson, Linda Ronstadt had folk-rock connections as well. Don’t Cry Now, released in 1973, followed the same formula to greater success, yet it was 1974’s Heart Like a Wheel that perfected the sound, making Ronstadt a star. Featuring the hit covers “You’re No Good,” “When Will I Be Loved,” and “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” Heart Like a Wheel reached number one and sold over two million copies.
Released in the fall of 1975, Prisoner in Disguise followed the same pattern as Heart Like a Wheel and was nearly as successful. Hasten Down the Wind, released in 1976, suggested a holding pattern, even if it charted higher than Prisoner in Disguise. Simple Dreams (1977) expanded the formula by adding a more rock-oriented supporting band, which breathed life into the Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice” and Warren Zevon’s “Poor Poor Pitiful Me.” The record became the singer’s biggest hit, staying on the top of the charts for five weeks and selling over three million copies. With Living in the U.S.A. (1978), Ronstadt began experimenting with new wave, recording Elvis Costello’s “Alison”; the album was another number one hit. On 1980’s Mad Love, she made a full-fledged new wave record, recording three Costello songs and adopting a synth-laden sound. While the album was a commercial success, it signalled that her patented formula was beginning to run out of steam. That suspicion was confirmed with 1982’s Get Closer, her first album since Heart Like a Wheel to fail to go platinum.

Celebration of Life in Louisiana near the town of McCrea,July 1971. I took this video with a Super 8mm film camera. The festival was postponed for three days while the promoters wallowed in legal mire. The hippies amused themselves by making human mud pies. What was to be a week of music turned out to be 4 days.

Before Creedence: 1959-1967
John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook (all born 1945) met at senior high school in El Cerrito, California and began playing instrumentals and “juke box standards” together under the name The Blue Velvets. The trio also backed singer Tom Fogerty— John’s older brother by three years—at live gigs and in the recording studio. By 1964, the band had signed to Fantasy Records, an independent jazz label based in San Francisco at the time.
During this period, band roles underwent some changes. Stu Cook had gone from piano to bass guitar and Tom Fogerty became the band’s rhythm guitarist. John Fogerty also began to write much of the band’s material. Most notably, the young guitarist had taken over lead vocal duty. As Tom would later say, “I could sing, but John had a sound.”
In 1967, Saul Zaentz purchased Fantasy Records from Weiss and offered the band a chance to record a full-length album, but only if the group changed its name. Never having liked The Golliwogs, the foursome readily agreed. Zaentz and the band agreed to come up with ten suggestions each, but he enthusiastically agreed to their first: Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band took the three elements from Creedence Nuball, a friend of Tom Fogerty; “clear water”, from a TV commercial for Olympia beer; and revival, which spoke to the four members’ renewed commitment to their band. (Other contenders were Muddy Rabbit, Gossamer Wump, and Creedence Nuball and the Ruby.) Unlike many other rock artists of the day, they eschewed drug use.
More importantly, AM radio programmers around the United States took note when a song from the LP, “Suzie Q”, received substantial airplay in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as on Chicago’s WLS. Blues aficionados doubtless appreciated the similarities between CCR’s tough style and R&B artists on the Chess and Vee-Jay labels.
Peak success: 1969-70
Only weeks later, in March 1969, “Bad Moon Rising” backed with “Lodi” was released and peaked at #2 on the charts. The band’s third album, Green River, followed in August and quickly went gold along with the single “Green River”, which again reached #2 on the Billboard charts. The B-side of “Green River”, “Commotion”—a one-chord two-step about the perils of city life—peaked at #30. The bar-band story of “Lodi” became a popular staple on then-emerging FM radio.[citation needed] The band’s emphasis on remakes of their old favorites continued with “The Night Time Is the Right Time”, which found its way into the band’s live set as a crowd sing-along.
Creedence continued to tour heavily including performances at the Atlanta Pop Festival and Woodstock. Their set was not included in the Woodstock film or its original soundtrack because Fogerty felt the band’s performance was subpar. (Several CCR tracks from the event were eventually included in the 1994 commemorative box set.) The band also complained that they had to take the stage at three in the morning because The Grateful Dead had jammed far past their scheduled set time. By the time Creedence began playing—”the hottest shot on Earth at that moment”, said Fogerty—many in the audience had gone to sleep.
Woodstock didn’t matter. Creedence was busy honing material for a fourth album, Willy and the Poor Boys, released in November 1969. “Down on the Corner”, a good-time street-corner number, and the famously militant “Fortunate Son” climbed to #3 and #14, respectively, by year’s end. The album was Creedence in its standard form, featuring Fogerty originals and two reworked Leadbelly covers, “Cotton Fields” and “Midnight Special”. Both the latter songs also had been performed by actor Harry Dean Stanton in the movie Cool Hand Luke, suggesting a subtle non-conformist theme to an apparently tradition-oriented album.
