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...

I think you would be doing better trying a 50 mile forced march than making a comment like that. You have know idea of her personal life or more so the 99.8% of everyone else. Rather assuming of you IMO.

Wow. I guess the Helen Reddy thread isn't all that disrespectful after all.

Someone to lay down beside me and long long time are two of my all time favorite songs and her voice was amazing. I'm glad that we at least have the memories and her music. I wish her the very best

enjoy

This weekend I was listening to some tracks from Paul Simon's "Graceland." One track had a duet with a female vocalist that was very nice. I was surprised to find it was Linda R.--very pretty but didn't have her characteristic sound IMO.

She does a great duet with David Hidalgo of Los Lobos on a tune called Los Cenzontles. The CD is called Songs of Wood & Steel.
