Linda Ronstadt Heat Wave

Linda Ronstadt remade Heat Wave for her album Prisoner in Disguise, recorded at The Sound Factory in Hollywood and released October 1975.

Ronstadt's sideman Andrew Gold told Rolling Stone: ""[her] band had been trying to get Linda to add it to her [live] set for quite awhile [sic]...one night at a Long Island club called My Father's Place we received six encores and we'd run of tunes. One of us yelled out 'Heat Wave in D' and we did it. [The band was] awfully sloppy but the crowd really liked it. So we kept the song in our set.""

According to the Rolling Stone article the perfectionism of Linda Ronstadt's producer Peter Asher ""led to many, many hours of work on 'Heat Wave' in a process that would [likely] amuse the old-line Motown musicians involved in the almost assembly-line approach that resulted in hits including Martha and the Vandellas' 1963 Motown Records recording of the song.""

Although Ronstadt had made her top ten breakthrough in 1975 with remakes of the 1960s hits ""You're No Good"" and ""When Will I Be Loved"", the lead single from Prisoner in Disguise was the original Neil Young composition ""Love Is a Rose"" with ""Heat Wave"" relegated to the B-side of the single which was released in August 1975. However, pop radio disc jockeys preferred ""Heat Wave"", which rose to a number 5 peak in November 1975, while ""Love Is a Rose"" received support from C&W radio, reaching number 5 on the C&W chart in Billboard magazine.
