Linda Ronstadt Oh No Not My Baby

Linda Ronstadt recorded "Oh No Not My Baby" for her 1993 Winter Light album. The track reached #35 on Billboard's radio airplay-only Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks in 1994. She performed the song on The Late Show Starring David Letterman with Paul Schaffer on keyboards.

Winter Light was Ronstadt's first solo album since Don't Cry Now not to be produced by Peter Asher; she elected to produce it herself, along with George Massenburg. The album marked Ronstadt's increased responsibilities and confidence behind the boards, this time achieving a multi-layered Enya-styled New Age-oriented sound, as in Anna McGarrigle's "Heartbeats Accelerating" — the album's first hit single — and Brian Wilson's "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on my Shoulder)". "Heartbeats Accelerating" featured a popular music video while another track, a remake of the classic 1960s R&B hit, "Oh No Not My Baby", was a Top 30 Adult Contemporary hit for Linda in the spring of 1994.

Other aspects of the album show Ronstadt paying tribute to great female vocalists of the 1960s, with a combination of rock n roll, oldies, and rock ballads. Three of the songs - "Anyone Who Had A Heart", "Oh No Not My Baby", and "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" - had been previously recorded by Dusty Springfield. Ronstadt selected classic compositions from various songwriters such as Burt Bacharach, Carole King, and Jimmy Webb, as well as from contemporary ones such as Tish Hinojosa. The album also showcased Ronstadt the singer-songwriter and music arranger, introducing her own composition, "Winter Light," which was notably covered by Sarah Brightman on her 2001 album, Classics and Chloë Agnew for her Walking In The Air album.

The title track was also prominently used in the 1993 film The Secret Garden but was not featured on the film's original soundtrack release.

Winter Light is considered to be one of Ronstadt's best and most underrated recordings. Rolling Stone rated the album '4' (out of a possible '5') stars. However, it was a commercial failure for Ronstadt and peaked at a disappointing #92 on the Billboard album chart. The disc had modest sales, moving 248,410 copies in the United States. In 2008, it became Ronstadt's first Elektra/Asylum release to be taken out of print (In 2009, several more classic Ronstadt albums were deleted from her catalog).

Allmusic critic Jose Promis praised the album and wrote, "Winter Light could arguably be classified as Linda Ronstadt's best pop album of the 1990s... there is not a single dud on this impeccably produced album, which, in fact, gets better and better with each listening. This sadly overlooked #lindaronstadt album is nothing short of a shining gem, and an absolute must for fans of this amazing singer." Source: Wikipedia
