    Those eyes of Linda’s always get me ! Beautiful then, and now. Not to mention that powerhouse voice.

    She’s so earthy and intelligent. Not a superficial bone in her body.

    Linda has so many different 'looks' - and they are all beautiful, even to this day.

    She was so ahead of her time. It was no longer the good old boys field.

    We the public and fans are the lucky ones , i know i am ! Linda was the voice of my teens here across ' the pond ' and if there has been a female singer with more range in her voice or musicality ,then I've yet to hear it . All with the greatest of ease ..God bless Ms Linda Ronstadt .

    Ronstadt is one of the most written about and photgraphed "human beings"...EVER...she has interviewed both print and TV, her personal life has been under a microscope for well over 50yrs up to and including recently because of the 2 movies that were done about her and her 2 books one recently her only Live Album was released a couple of yrs ago it was from the early 80s and she put it together because her fans wanted more and should couldn't give them anymore so reached into her sewing bag and pulled out a gem from days gone bye... She has 30+ albums 100+ million albums sold well over a 100 album collaborations with others...27 Grammy noms 13 total wins and numerous other award noms and wins... and at 5'2"ish she was the Biggest Brightest Star in a pile of stars from the 70s and 80s for a long time both public and private...and she summons it all up very quickly when asked about her fame and the press pressure she has had to endure for numerous reasons and she candidly says..."its part of the job"...pretty classy comment from a woman at the Top of her Fame at that time...prayers for Linda...amen
