Linda Ronstadt
Now....I'm 56 and not really took any notice of her for all these years, but now have finally realised Linda Ronstadt is bloody fantastic, a bloody good voice one of the best ..and in her day very very pretty.....why didn't I realise this all those years ago ???....I must have had blinkers on
Such a shame about her health:(

It's a shame she doesnt seem to be thought of in the same way as some of her 70s peers...that might be a 'songwriting' thing
she's still beautiful to me, her decision to stop singing due to her health is awful....to have something like taken away from you.
A lot of her stuff is covers, but she was always able to do great interpretations. Her version of You're No Good (which was a hit over here in the UK for the Swinging Blue Jeans in the 1960's) is just spine tingling.
And great musicians with her as well Andrew Gold and Kenny Edwards formed the backbone of a really tight solid band.
I didn't know that Linda Ronstadt had contracted Parkinsons Very unfortunate.
I love her version of Blue Bayou, it really shows off her vocals and brings great passion. Also really enjoy her parts on Under African Skies by Paul Simon and Old Man by Neil Young
