Which song by Linda Ronstadt during her career was her only hit to reach No. 1 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100?

The song "You're No Good" was written by Clint Ballard Jr., first performed by Dee Dee Warwick for Jubilee Records in 1963. It has since been covered by many artists, including charting versions by Betty Everett in 1963, The Swinging Blue Jeans in 1964, and Linda Ronstadt in 1974, whose version was a No. 1 hit in the US. Capitol Records who released Linda's song, was unsure at first to release it as the lead single off the album "Heart Like a Wheel", only deciding to release it a week after the album's release.

In the lyrics, the singer tells her ex that she's glad they broke up because he's "no good". In the second stanza, she also broke up a previous relationship with a man who was "gentle and true". In a twist of fate, she wouldn't blame him if he said to her that she's no good.

Linda Ronstadt began performing "You're No Good" to close her live shows in 1973, after a band member Kenny Edwards suggested it. She first included it in her setlist while opening for Neil Young. Her version of "You're No Good" became the song's most successful cover. The track ascended to No. 1 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in February 1975. It was her only No. 1 hit. It was also an international hit for her, reaching No. 15 in Australia, No. 17 in the Netherlands, and No. 24 in New Zealand.

The success of "You're No Good" set a precedent for Ronstadt's single releases which for her over the five years after 1975 would virtually almost all be remakes of classic rock and roll songs.
