The first hit for Linda Ronstadt, composed by the Monkees’ Mike Nesmith. He’d written the song prior to their TV show and wanted the group to record it, but the Monkees had little control over what appeared on their records and series. Nesmith wasn’t hurting for cash (his mom invented Liquid Paper correction fluid) and he gave the tune to Linda. She later hired a few guys named Don Henley and Glenn Frey, who went on to far bigger and better things with the Eagles.
