(Live vocals, recording backing track by The E Street Band, produced by Steve Van Zandt). Possibly the LOUDEST 45 RPM single ever recorded. The needles were off the dial when I recorded this from vinyl to cassette tape.

I have at least one of her performances from Later... with Jools Holland that I'm betting you haven't seen. I have hard copies of shows, video editing savvy and a YouTube channel. I'm on it.

As were mine when I was posting "Paradise". No shame in that...

So many great personal memories associated with her voice and songs back in the day.

Ronnie may be in "Rock & Roll Heaven", but for me she will always be as close as my iPod, computer, and phone.
