1984 studio album by Linda Ronstadt
Lush Life is an album by American singer Linda Ronstadt, released in November 1984 on Asylum Records as the second in a trilogy of jazz albums with bandleader/arranger Nelson Riddle. All three album covers were designed by John Kosh.
The album peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the Billboard jazz chart, becoming certified as Ronstadt’s record tenth platinum album. Lush Life was nominated for two Grammys, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Album Package, winning the latter. Riddle was posthumously awarded the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying A Vocal for the title track, “Lush Life.”
A music video was created for the song “Skylark,” with vintage clothing by wardrobe stylist Genny Schorr.
In 1986, Asylum Records released the compilation Round Midnight, which included all tracks from all three albums with Riddle.
