So very true. No lights, no smoke, no back up dancers and no taking off her clothes and singing nude like the pitiful women today who get up and perform in g-strings and a nothing much else.

[@evanlouis3336]

Ronstadt's pipes were glorious, flexible, powerful and tender. Linda had what jazz players called " big ears" - not only a mesmerizing singer but a fine, gorgeous unadorned band leader. The Boyz were devoted to her - how rare to be that beloved in a dirty rotten business.

[@jed1166]

[@sbingham1979]

It is very difficult to imagine how ANYONE who is listening carefully to this voice could give it a thumbs down. I cannot understand that. Just listen to her tone, and the feeling in it, and the EASE with which she achieves falsetto with no break whatsoever in the smoothness and perfection of her tone.

[@novastariha8043]

Insane . Just insane to 👎 this piece.

[@thinkerly1]

Thumbs down is just someone who enjoys expressing their hatred. It's music. Ignore them.

[@hollywoodjaded]

Here’s how that happens: The listener, lying in bed, iPhone hand-to-ear, head against pillow. They’re re-playing Linda, a lullaby from long-ago, her beautiful voice astounding, yet soothing…the listener is transported; the heaviness of heart is lifted. Finally, falling asleep-their grip loosens; their fingers graze across the screen. Next morning, their iPhone buried beneath a comforter, is more than 18 songs away from Linda’s lovely song…now blaring is a news program. That’s how a thumbs-down happens. However, the downvote option is mostly gone now. I’m glad. I can sleep more soundly now.

[@deano.7533]

No doubt. Linda Ronstadt was the single most talented female vocalist's ever. The famous chicks that sing today are absolute garbage compared to Linda when she was in her prime. Or really even after she was no longer in her prime. The female singers today leave so much to be desired. Back in the day you could go to a concert and be entertained by top quality musicians who concentrated on the music and ignored all the rest of the BS hype. They played their sets and the whole thing was just about the songs. Those days are all but gone now. Today's music scene is just a bunch of over paid, self centered, egoist, devil worshipers, who on the best day of their entire lives could never reach the level of pure greatness that Linda Ronstadt consistently operated at for her entire career. Linda Ronstadt was the single greatest female vocalist to ever hit the stage. She's one of a kind. Back in the 70's there were people that were crazy about Stevie Nicks. But Stevie Nicks never had the chops, the power, the range, or the beautiful tone quality, and perfect pitch, that Linda Ronstadt was born with. God Almighty created Linda Ronstadt and then he broke the mold. And that is as it should be. :-I

Linda Ronstadt is one of just a very few singers, that when she performs a song, no matter who performed it before her. It's as if she was the only one who ever sang it. It becomes hers. That is some where beyond just singing a tune.

[@davidcunningham2984]

Couldn't agree more.

[@unamckillen7125]

+Ronnie Bishop I agree. She was amazing. She made every song she sang her own. There are very few singers who can add something to the originals, particularly when these are classics but she did, didn't she? I think it is because she so respected a song; so focused on the song and there was no Diva emoting anywhere. Lets face it, this is a woman who made a song about a big rig driver travelling the back roads to avoid the weigh-bridges and consuming pretty much all substances known to man really interesting and worth listening to. She sang songs by band members and made them. She is generous as well as talented and gorgeous.

[@charlie-obrien]

Just another beautiful song in the hands of Linda Ronstadt. What is on display here is one of the finest voices and performers of the 20th century. Not only could Linda sing and play, but she had such a fine ear for the songs she chose and when she did choose them, they almost immediately became her own. "Desperado" comes to mind. A song that was brilliantly written and performed by the Eagles, yet whenever I think about it, I only think of Linda's voice in my mind.

Once in 1979, I was working on an early morning radio information show. It was the morning of New Year’s Eve. We were coming up to the end of the show and just because, I wanted to play Blue Bayou, just because it was the end of the seventies. So much had happened. It seemed like the turning of the tide for so many reasons. We were caught up in the spell of Linda and the song, the ache of loss for something beautiful that had slipped away forever. We back timed it so the song took us up to the very end of the show. When the song was done and we were off the air, I realized everyone in the studio had tears in their eyes.

Forty years of life gone by and the timbre of Linda's voice sent the same exact chill over me as it did when I was a young girl--when the lyrics wouldn't have held the same weight.
