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...

When I discovered this live gem, it brought tears to my eyes, so expressive. Best to you always Linda!

Thanks for the memories Tubegroover. I own most of her recordings. What a cutie and boy .... could she belt out a song.
+1 Tubegroover !
Her music will go on for a very long time !
Happy Days to you Linda Ronstadt .
I have a three-box set of French pressings of the work she did with Nelson Riddle. I just recorded it to CD the other day to play in the car. I went to see her concert where she sang all of her Mexican music. I think half of the Hispanic population of Los Angeles was there. She brought the house down ... my gawd, she was great! The audience was so into her Mexican music ... it was such a joy to watch. And by the way, Linda used the very best musicians from Mexico City for that concert, including one guy who walked out on the stage holding a guitar, and under a single spot light, played a Rodrigo composition so beautifully, it brought tears to more eyes than mine. A great night it was!
Great post Oregonpapa. Is it still possible to buy the CDs anywhere.

Btw, how long will it take for ARC to ship your Ref 75 SE? As you know, I am pondering upgrading my Ref 150 to the SE version. Waiting for objective member comments.

I think you mentioned there was a part vendor issue and ARC is running behind with making the SE version. I am in no rush ... and it would be kinda' dumb to send my amp in for the upgrade just to have it sit waiting for parts.

Thanks for your post. Great community we have here.
