TO BE LOVED
CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (July 20th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: When Will I Be Loved by Everly Brothers-118 bpm ('Greatest Hits'/'Big Hits'/'The Definitive')
When Will I Be Loved by Vince Gill & Karla Bonoff-138 bpm
When Will I Be Loved by Linda Ronstadt-134 bpm
Choreographer's note: A lot of people will have heard this music for the very first
time when they saw the movie "Cocktail"..those with slightly greying hair will
remember it when it first saw the light of day - a mere forty two years ago. There
are another two (somewhat faster) versions of this song that I have used for
alternate music. Vince Gill and Karla Bonoff's version is a note for note copy of
Linda Ronstadt's (the original country rock chick) version produced by Peter Asher
(remember Peter & Gordon). There is, out there in the big wide world, many-a-guy
who fell in love with Country music when they first clapped eyes on Linda Ronstadt
- and to be honest, who could blame them...even now. Both these versions have a
false start, so you should start the dance at the same place as the Everly's
version - main vocals.
