She compliments the fellow singers and musicians of her day in such a generous spirit of admiration and gratitude for their talents. As a former road musician I can vouch for how truly rare and beautiful this quality is in a great artist. Linda Ronstadt's range of expression and ability to command all musical genres with total ease IMHO is unmatched and has never been surpassed in popular music. In short I love the girl and am sooo grateful for this wonderful interview!

So clear from this interview why she was able to branch out into so many musical styles: all she cared about was making great music. She's not crafting a persona to sell records or be famous. And her name-dropping has nothing to do with impressing anyone or "stardom" -- it's just facts about people who played music that she enjoyed and enjoyed making music with! So knowledgeable about the connections with people. It breaks my heart to hear that the Eagles were so happy singing together in their early days, given what happened later. She (and they) made some of my favorite music.

Some people don't get inheritances and they need some help, I don't know why people such as yourself seem to feel that a good social safety net is a bad thing and anyone who supports that is a kook and a socialist.

In December 1974 Linda performed at my University. She did her fan favorites and also did many of the songs from the 'Heart Like a Wheel' album, which had just been released. It was a sortof intimate setting with many of us sitting on a tarp laid over a hardwood basketball floor. I managed to sit right in front of the stage in the approximate middle with mostly young ladies around me. This meant that Linda was right in front of me and some of the stage light bled over to where a few of us were sitting. She was very nervous; this was one of the first times she had performed some of these songs live. Andrew Gold was there and helped her a bit with her nerves. But the main thing she did on the ballads was to stand behind the microphone stand, not moving, and look right at me as she sang. She looked exactly like she does here, even hair length. I defy anyone to have Linda Ronstadt in 1974 sing love songs right at you and not melt. It was a double bill; the opening act was The Earl Scruggs Revue with a completely toasted Earl Scruggs. Even so it was one of my best concert nights ever. I went to many of her concerts after that, but she was a star then and I couldn't get as close. I am beyond sad that she can no longer sing.

An excellent interview! An interviewer who is respectful and informed, asks clear, intelligent, relevant questions without drawing unnecessary attention to himself and then lets the other person speak at length and without interruption; interviewing a person who is articulate, well-spoken, who cares about what she's saying, and is an overall good talker. I've done work as an interviewer for research projects, not quite the same as this kind of interviewing, but I can say from a professional standpoint that Bob Harris and Linda Ronstadt were an ideal combination of interviewer and respondent. This video is interesting not only for what Linda Ronstadt said but for how the interview was done.

Some talented vocalists for sure, but the "music" is little more than the same couple notes over the same synthesized pounding, with "lyrics" so vacuous and vapid that I can't help walking away feeling some degree of disdain for the people who pour their money into that machine, keeping it going.

She is so real, that's one of the things I've always loved about Linda. The faces, the way she pulls on her hair, the way she dosen't like to listen to herself!? The voice of a generation! Always a joy to listen to! Thank you Linda, for hours upon hours of sheer pleasure!

Just watched the Linda Ronstadt documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" and my heart is broken--I hadn't realized she was suffering from Parkinson's Disease and that it essentially killed her singing voice. I was a teenager in the 70s and (like everyone else) loved Ronstadt--her wide-eyed beauty, her easygoing, girl next door friendliness--this interview seems characteristic of how open and unassuming she was--and most especially that amazing instrument that was her singing voice. Linda was a brave and ambitious artist who really could do anything. What I wouldn't give for a time machine for this wonderful lady. (And for myself. *sigh*)

I was in Heaven witnessing Linda perform at The Iconic Radio City Music Hall in 1978! It was my first time in the Hall and this was going to be an amazing concert and it was! She stood center stage with a flower in her hair and sang her ass off! I loved her than and I love her now and so grateful to have experienced her performance!

Not only one of the greatest voices in the history of music, but the cutest speaking voice. I could just listen to her talk all day. And my gosh, goes without saying, her young "hippy" look in the late 60s/early 70s, performing in miniskirts and barefoot, accelerated my puberty at 12/13 tenfold. Still smitten with my first "celebrity" crush.

I've been in love with her since I was 18, that was 1972. I only really started appreciating her music, though, later in her career. I like her early country-rock stuff a lot, but absolutely weep at the strength of her voice in her Spanish language Canciones albums and her Trio albums.

Nothing in anything she said even hinted at ego or a desire for fame. I really just got the sense of someone who was on a journey and wanted to perform and create music and collaborate with others . It just feels like that spirit doesn't exist in that industry anymore.

This is such a great interview both from the interviewer's and from Linda's perspective. The interviewer didn't try to dominate, or advertise his intelligence. He asked good questions and stayed out of the way, as it should be. Meanwhile, Linda was her stream-of-consciousness authentic self, which is so rare for people in the public eye. And she largely retained that approach in later interviews, even as she aged and could have been jaded by cynicism or self-importance. Such formative, compelling stories!

Fascinating creature with a glorious rare set of pipes. Saw her recently- September 2018 - at a rare speaking engagement. Linda looked lovely, adorable, tiny, slower but those eyes and her heart were glowing. Wickedly funny, eyewitness to a wealth of musical history, thoughtful, cool and charming. Fame seemed a bit of a drag - how unusual. Some people seem distressed when the pin-up comes down off the wall but Ronstadt - here on the verge of superstardom- was always far more down to earth than the pretentious bs swirling around her. Girl just wanted to sing and sing some more.
