Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.

+1 Schubert, well said and sadly true 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.

Fresh Air with Terry Gross just had an interview with Linda. It was very sweet and sad at the same time. Terry asked Linda if she still enjoyed listening to music and Linda's reply was "Yes, I love live music over recorded music although that's strange because I was a recording artist, but it was live when I was singing it."

They played some amazing songs from throughout her very long career. I true lady with a voice rivaled by few.
