YESTERDAY'S POP SONGS, TODAY'S STARS.

The article presents information on the comeback of the classic American popular song. The credit for this revival goes to the rock star Linda Ronstadt, who with her two albums brought back the wave of classic music. Her third album, "For Sentimental Reasons," includes touching passages of orchestral lyricism. Diane Schuur's "Timeless," is another popular album. An audiophile with thirteen tunes, "Marlene Verplanck Sings Alec Wilder," is another classic example.
