OMG she brings back to when I was a teenager in Astoria ,hanging out at the local pizza place .Long ,Long Time ,is her song I remember with joy and sorry..My first love Lisa crushed my young heart ,but I will always love her anyway ,lol.But I love all of her albums ,I have everyone on cd .I had them most of them on Lp.But sold them .Luckily when I got back into Albums again ,I bough a collection from a lady and got alot of her 70s n 80s stuff in mint condition again .Her voice in my mind is Second to None.
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice
Just got done watching "The Sound Of My Voice" a documentary about Linda Ronstadt.
What an excellent, well done and fantastic ode.
I must confess, I'm pretty biased. Linda holds a special place in my heart and soul. Wanting to hear her albums better, (higher fidelity), is what got me into high-end audio.
I also had several firsts that are related to her:
1st female vocalist that got me into that female vocalist genre of music, (my favorite)
1st celebrity crush
1st concert ever attended
1st celebrity autograph
Needless to say, she is a special artist and IMHO, the best female voice to ever grace Rock-N-Roll. She did it her way and without compromise.
She catalyzed so many talents; Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Karla Bonoff, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, JD Souther and many more. She also was able to cross pollinate many styles of music.
It's so very sad that she developed Parkinson's. Wish she was still able to sing and perform, but she leaves behind a great catalog of music.
If you get a chance to see this, please do...it's wonderful. Highly recommended!
LOVE you Linda!!!
