Calling Nelson Riddle out of an ignominious retirement (stints with 101 Strings and the Muzak corporation), Ronstadt's trilogy of standards (What's New, Lush Life and For Sentimental Reasons) mapped out a genre (Cyndi Lauper, Sinead O'Conner, even Joni Mitchell followed the lead), defined a decade (conservative and complacent) and certified Ronstadt a singer of first standing. (Nostalgic but not retro, Ronstadt, Riddle and producer Peter Asher created an Eighties palette for the American Songbook as each of the three LPs improved the formula).
