I think all I know is Ooo Baby Baby. Nice take on it.
I'll have to listen to her covers of Back in the USA and Just One Look, I think they are on one of the Greatest Hits.

Like the other albums she released in the 70's - I loved this record!(she looked great on those roller skates as well ;D )I have it on vinyl. This is where I first heard Elvis Costello's Allison - didn't hear the original until years later.
Faves - Back In The U.S.A. , White Rhythm and Blues , Ooh Baby Baby , All That You Dream , Alison and Just One Look.

Hi, Dawn. My favorite of her albums and not just because of the cover.  Chuck Berry has always been one of my faves and her version of Back In The USA rocks. Love Me Tender is the only song I'm not crazy about (didn't like it by Elvis either). Otherwise, some more excellent covers. |

'Ooo Baby Baby' is wonderful, I agree. Although I like Smokey Robinson's original, I think Linda's is the better of the two versions. Yes, I think both of those covers are on her Greatest Hits Vol. 2. As with 'Ooo Baby Baby', she does a great job with those. |

Her 70's albums were great, I agree. 'Ooo Baby Baby' is probably my favorite from this album, but there are many other good ones as well. |

It's an excellent rocker, and I love the piano work on it. |
