Remember When Linda Ronstadt Released an Album Featuring Aaron Neville in the 80s?
Linda Ronstadt’s 1989 album *Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind* prominently features Aaron Neville, who sings on four tracks. Their collaboration produced two chart-topping duets, “Don’t Know Much” and “All My Life”, helping make the album a notable meeting of their voices.
Both songs reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart: “Don’t Know Much” for five weeks and “All My Life” for two. Each won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, in 1990 and 1991 respectively. Ronstadt said she wanted to sing with Neville because she liked his voice; the idea grew from an impromptu performance together in New Orleans.
In short
- Neville sings on four tracks from Ronstadt’s 1989 album.
- Their two duets both topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.
- Ronstadt got the idea after singing with Neville in New Orleans.
