Dedicated to the One I Love is an album of rock classics reinterpreted as children's lullabies by American singer, songwriter and producer Linda Ronstadt.

Released in mid-1996, it reached No. 78 and lasted three months on the main Billboard album chart. It also earned the singer a new career distinction when it hit #1 on the Top Kid Audio chart. It was awarded a 1997 Grammy Award.

The album includes vocal contributions from long-time collaborators Aaron Neville who duets on Brahms' Lullaby and Valerie Carter who provides harmony vocals on most tracks.

This album was reissued on Rhino's Flashback Records label in 2009. It is now out of print.

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "All of the songs are given lush, sweet, and soft arrangements, even when that approach is ludicrous; it might be a cute idea to deliver Queen's 'We Will Rock You' as a rock-a-bye chant, but in practice it is simply ridiculous… the appeal of Dedicated to the One I Love is limited..."^[1]
