Recently, in the comment threads, longtime reader e.a.f. got me thinking about how many of Warren Zevon's songs were recorded by Linda Ronstadt.
Which led to the usual, until I stumbled on this:
You know, I think the red headed stranger, Mr. Nelson, may have been right when he said...
________
Here is Ms. Ronstadt, live, at the top of her first wave game...Many more waves would follow. Unfortunately, she no longer sings due to a neurodegenerative disease that has similarities to Parkinson's.
"There are only two kinds of men, those that have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her."

Mr. Nelson is definitely right. One of the top female singers ever. A voice so clear, forceful and loud. She’s got a range that won’t quit and her energy carries the entire length of it. It absolutely breaks my heart that can no longer sing. A cruel turn of the wheel that I don’t feel she deserves but... whadda ya gonna do?

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
And, of course, that 'whadda ya gonna do?' attitude is exactly hers as is clear from the doc. that NVG links to, above.

Not to belabour the point too much, but I just spent a very enjoyable 45 minutes of country music with the 'Trio': 'Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt'
