The legendary Linda Ronstadt, a powerhouse singer with an unparalleled career, always dreamed of forming a unique supergroup. Her desire to collaborate with Bette Midler and Rosemary Clooney was fueled by their shared love for music and a desire to create something extraordinary. In an exclusive interview, Ronstadt revealed her vision for this dream team, stating, 'I always wanted to get the three of us together, but every time I’d go to LA, one of us would be out of town. We never got to have that great dish on the sofa, which would’ve been more fun than anything.'
The potential supergroup, consisting of Ronstadt, Midler, and Clooney, promised an eclectic blend of talents and styles. Clooney, known for her unique leftfield streak, had a history of collaborating with diverse artists, including Barry Manilow and Wild Man Fischer. Her ability to work with different musical styles and artists made her a perfect match for Ronstadt's adaptable vocals and Midler's comedic flair.
The trio's hypothetical collaboration could have resulted in a diverse range of music, far more interesting than Ronstadt's acclaimed country venture, 'Trio.' The idea of these three iconic singers coming together is a fascinating one, and it's no wonder Ronstadt yearned for that 'dish on the sofa' moment. Their collective talent and unique perspectives could have created a musical masterpiece, leaving a lasting impact on the industry.
As we reflect on this missed opportunity, it's clear that the supergroup could have pushed the boundaries of music and entertainment. The combination of Ronstadt's powerful vocals, Midler's comedic genius, and Clooney's leftfield approach would have been a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps one day, their dream collaboration will become a reality, leaving an indelible mark on the music world.
