I was thinking about her earlier today. She is STILL beautiful!

[@knockshinnoch1950]

I LOVE Linda Clifford, from the first time I heard If My Friends Could See Me Now back in1978 I was hooked! She deserved far greater mainstream success. Thanks for sharing this terrific interview.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Her beauty, humor and humility are so appreciated. "My peace of mind is more important than the money." What an artist, what a person. It's why I wrote a poem about her years ago. Glad she's staying busy with the other legends👏👏👏👏💚

WONDERFUL!! She's a true gem ❤❤

[@atmybest4]

Love this interview! She's the kind of person I could talk to for hours.

Awesome conversation! I'm excited see Ms. Clifford perform outside Boston March 2024.

If My Friends Can See Me Now...pure 🔥. I love Linda's music. Talented Queen

[@cecilyoung5042]

I am old school and I love,love ,love Linda Clifford !!! I bought two of each LP of hers back in the day because I would play the hell out of them and now I have those very same LP's in CD versions . During the time ,back in 1978 when I was working at the post office ,the song "Run Away Love " was the song and other songs such as "Don't Give It Up " resonated with me. I love you Linda !!!

This was cute. Thank you for this posting that. I was unfamiliar with her until watching this but now I’m going to go to Apple Music and get familiar ☺️

[@GRTVO]

I absolutely love Linda Clifford. Don't Give It Up is my jam but I Just Wanna Wanna is so beautiful, reminds me of my friend who died last year.

Wonderful interview!!! Great to see Miss Linda still grooving!!

[@4DaKulture23]

The fact that she was dragging the ish out of her ex husband on Runway Love and it was impromptu makes me love that song even more.

I know it's not really related to the video, but could anyone tell me what happened to the vocal explained of Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey? I can't seem to find them
