"That Girl Could Sing" is a hit single written and performed by Jackson Browne from his 1980 album Hold Out.

"That Girl Could Sing" was the seventh-biggest hit single of Browne's Top 40 career (beating 1976's "Here Come Those Tears Again" by one position higher on the Billboard Hot 100).

[1][2][3] Lyrically the song expresses positive remembrance of a relationship with an ultimately elusive woman: That last sentence of that first verse was praised by Kit Rachlis in his September 1980 review of the album, but he bemoaned "Talk about celestial bodies/And your angels on the wing.

Fans recall Lindley quoted in the April 1982 issue of Guitar Player magazine as saying that, playing a Rickenbacker lap steel, he was using a broken Fairchild limiter amplifier "on its last legs."

In addition, producer/recorder Greg Ladanyi has been quoted as noting that "the guitar sound on the track 'That Girl Could Sing' required minimal processing, and the tone of the record is pretty true to what came out of Lindley's amp.
