Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: You're No Good (1973)

 Linda Ronstadt hit #1 on the pop chart in 1975 with a cover of "You're No Good", which had been recorded by artists as diverse as Betty Everett and the Swinging Blue Jeans.

But, before "Good" was included on the album, "Heart Like a Wheel", Ronstadt debuted her cover on The Midnight Special. Her backing band includes Andrew Gold on guitar, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan) on the bongos.

Edit, 3/16/23: Had to change the video. This new clip, from a Midnight Special fan channel, is missing the intro by host Jose Feliciano.
