Linda Ronstadt On Playboy After Dark, Part II



Linda Ronstadt singing "Living Like A Fool" on Playboy After Dark, October 1969. Linda introduces her band including future Eagle Bernie Leadon.

During the song, Hugh Hefner is standing on the sidelines with his very young girlfriend of the time, Barbie Benton. You can really tell that Barbie seems to love Linda at this early stage of Linda's career!

It's funny, because several years ago I watched a "McCloud" television episode where Barbie Benton was played a famous singer. This episode was produced in 1975 when Linda was the biggest female rock singer in America. It was obvious that Barbie's musical selections on the episode were highly influenced by Linda Ronstadt.
