Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.

Do not know if everyone has seen or heard this, but Linda Ronstadt has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and can't sing anymore.

If one can say that a particular artist/group got them into high-end audio, she would be mine.

Definitely in my top 5 of favorite female vocalists.

Very sad indeed...

Saw this and listened to her Nelson Riddle trilogy straight through--phenomenal power and control. For album covers I like the shot on Hasten Down the Wind. If you are ever in GTT Audio (Long Valley NJ) check out Bill's photograph of Linda in the first demo room you hit as you enter--really knocks you out, what a doll.

How long ago was her latest release? I heard on the radio this morning she was instrumental in 'The Eagles's success.

Her last album was "Adieu False Heart" recorded in
2006.

She was my first "celebrity" crush. I have a reprint of her
very first Rolling Stone magazine cover on the wall in my
record room and she is a BABE!

I was just thinking of how funny it would be if the title of this thread was "Yoko can't sing anymore".
