- They're three of the most talented female singers of all time - Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. All superstars in their own right, but they're also great friends, and over the years they've come together to make exquisite music.
But Linda Ronstadt faces a crippling disease that is slowly robbing her of her ability to sing. Undaunted, Linda's facing her illness with tremendous courage, helped by her two dear friends. And, as Steve Pennells discovered, these three women still have one last collaboration to share with their fans.

I went to a Dolly concert at Interlochen MI in the 90s. I knew where she was staying in town, so I left a note at the hotel desk for her letting her know we would be in the front row and it was our 40th anniversary. I asked her to sing "Eagle When She Flies" for my wife. She came on. Walked back and forth. Nodded questioningly to me and I returned the nod with a Thumbs Up. She then stood right there and gave the entire concert to me and my wife. She talked to us, asked if we were having a good time. She dedicated EAGLE" to my wife and me. She sang "Why'd You Come In Here Looking Like That" to me. She sang "He's Alive" at the end. I cried. She blew us a kiss before she left the stage for the last time. It was like having a private concert. My wife was REALLY impressed. Dollie Parton is one classy lady for sure.
Very sweet of you to do that for your wife, and cool that Dolly went along with it🤘
Wow. That's about the most incredible story i ever read in the comments. Very kind of you to share.
I worked at Dollywood in 1996, Dolly is the real deal. Genuine and she came in June to meet every employee and have photos made with each team..She's an amazing loving human being.
@@LS021BR how about you delete yourself Karen
What a heart warming story, just when we thought we couldn't love Dolly anymore !!! Thank you for sharing, God Bless !!!!!
Broke my heart when she said she can still sing in her mind. God bless her!❤ these women are amazing!❤❤❤
As a singer (from Tucson oddly enough) who has lost a lot of my voice from smoking damage, I feel for Linda so much. I can still sing, but it's not what it was and it kills me to not be able to soar any more, but trot and stumble now. (I was training in opera at one time). Yes, I can hear it in my mind, as Linda said, but I know she is putting on a brave face and she would give her left and right arm to have an hour of her voice back. I feel for her and cry for her loss.
@@kathleenkaufmann2084 I understood this so much also!! I’ve sung at points in my life but also had things like developing allergies after my first child-I completely lost middle C to F, so I sang tenor for about 3 years. I could feel in my vocal cords where my note was, but if I tried adding air they just slammed shut. Torture. Now I have a neurological autoimmune illness that, when bad, mucks with both articulating at the back of my mouth and tongue, and swallowing. And breathing.
My great-grandfather went to London around 1900 to study tonic sol-fa, then came back to start vocal music programs in 6 colleges I know of around the country. One was an Ag college in Roswell NM 😊. His mother & siblings actually supported themselves as a quartet till he started teaching, so I think of them often. Some things do help but I wish I could figure out how to just Relax my larynx so my voice could flow!
I’m so grateful Linda did such a range of music!! At least we do get to keep hearing her. Such a rich voice and she could do anything she wanted with it! My littlest grandson loves her voice, but he loves these tight harmonies even more, which makes me silly-happy!!
@raeder7820~~I've always loved and adored this woman~~Ihave been to many concerts in my life but when I took my Ma to see her along with Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris and The Stray Cats it was the best I had ever seen back in the 80's~~That was a concert I will never forget~~My Ma even loved it and I had to take her cause she never went anywhere~~R.I.P, Mama~~Linda and her songs will live in my heart 4 ever~~God Bless this precious woman~~Please don't let her suffer~~💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏~~
Every time I hear Linda Ronstadt speak in an interview, my love and admiration for her grows a bit more. "I can still sing in my mind"... Gave me chills...
same here......love her
She's blunt and honest which I totally appreciate.
Ronstadt's repertoire was staggering. Rock, pop, standards, country, mexican, operetta(The Pirates of Penzance), opera(Puccini's La Boheme). Nobody else could match this.
Just to clarify: She specifically sang two specific styles of Mexican music ranchera and primarily mariachi music, not simply “Mexican” music. There is no one “Mexican” style of music - its varied just like it is here. Lots of beautiful Mexican music traditions that deserve their own flowers!
There is no one who can touch her. Streisand is close and has an equally distinctive voice. Houston is up there. Ronstadt is just so gutsy and has such passion for the art of song
And with Nelson Riddle's big band
I hope when Linda finally passes it's not just us old folks who give her praise. I grew up on her music, and I wish younger people today knew how important she was to the industry.
Why wait till she passes.... do it now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they would today, create a tribute, musical tv special, compilation of her talent and life so that she can get a mood boost and see how her fans adore her still ❤❤❤
I'm such a fan of Linda Ronstadt. I wasn't born in this country and I'm an elder millennial - her music transcends boundaries and time.
Finally passes? Like what the H. You can't wait for it to happen?
Give her all the 'flowers' and adoration you can NOW. Appreciate the living wherever they are and the people around you. We share this time and space together in quickly passing eras. Make the most of it.
Linda Ronstadt was not only an exquisite singer, she also is an extremely strong and resilient person.
Strong, resilient, awesome, lovely. We don't have enough positive adjectives to properly describe this beautiful soul.
I love Linda except her politics were pretty extreme for me.
And so smart and so funny. "Common sense."
What realization did you learn from that?
"Don't think I'm a dumb country girl 'cause I dress like one!" Now THAT'S Dollly! God bless her forever.
Used to admire your talent, now I admire your courage, strength, and way of facing adversity. You are, forever, amazing, Linda!
Amen
Feeling suddenly better about my own health challenges, what a great hero she is. Saving this vid for the darker moments.
Dolly is a national treasure. Not only has she shared her amazing singing and song writing with us. Plus her films. She's gave so much financial help for so many. The books that she's gave to children all over the world. Her father couldn't read at all, That inspired her to do that book foundation. There's no room for to list all ways Dolly has helped people.
I just got goosebumps listening to Linda. This trio of women are a gift to us.
Linda overated
Three beautiful singers and no auto tune.
Auto-tune is of the devil.
Indeed. Perfect pitch and utterly tuned to each other.
Seriously - I love harmony and theirs is stunningly perfect
When you're at the height of your powers, you just see another day to get through, true for all of us. When you're old or disabled, you look back, and wish you'd known how singular and special those moments were. Such is aging.
Ces't la vie.
I’ve loved Linda’s voice since I first heard Different Drum on the radio; I was about 8 or 9, and she was all over the radio. Long, Long Time, When Will I Be Loved-just such great songs. As soon as I was old enough to buy records with my allowance, I was buying her singles. In tenth grade 1981, she was still killing it, the queen of rock ‘n roll. All through high school, hers was the only music I would play in my car-my sister and my friends would just roll their eyes and say, “oh no, it’s LR again???” And I’d say YUP and blast Livin’ in the USA or Mad Love. Just such greatness. Such vocal control and depth in her voice. Even now, in 2023, I want to cry when I listen to her, knowing that these recordings are all we have. I just want more! But I’m so thankful I heard Different Drum that day in the early 70s. It changed my life.
Yes, the Stone Poneys...and then Blue Bayou. OMG. It was mesmerizing. I'll never tire of hearing it.
When Linda Ronstadt sings "Blue Bayou " she takes you to a place where your staring and feeling the sunrise she sings about. Linda is God's gift to all.
Exactly! I always thought that too 🥰
Hi Linda hope you're okay?
Linda, you may be very critical of your own voice. We often are our own worst enemies. But the truth is…we, your fans, think your voice is fantastic! Your music has given us -and keeps on giving us - countless happy hours. So when you feel critical again think of your fans who love every note you sang. Timeless music!
Thanks for the interview, all of you!
A fan forever
I saw Emmylou and Linda at the Ryman during their Western Wall tour. Linda sang Blue Bayou. It brought the house down. I never hear such a roar of applause of the crowd. Blew my socks off.
As one living with adrenomyeloneuropathy (a cousin of Parkinson's disease) and mapping my own steady decline, I'd love to spend an afternoon with Linda Ronstadt; just to offer human and spiritual support. Believe me, talking with someone who understands first hand does make a difference. Time with Dolly (would be a hoot herself) or Emmylou would also be a pleasure. I know it will not come to be, but I can still live it my mind and soul. Y'all be a blessing.
You get worst till you die. Classic line. Bravery in the face adversity.
They are all inspiring women and singers... It's just so sad to see people like Linda and Celine Dion not being able to do what they were born to do anymore... This teaches us a lot, especially that we must do what we like before it is too late, life is unpredictable.
Radical acceptance, wow! I'm a singer songwriter and cannot imagine losing ability to sing and play. I cried listening to Linda on dealing with Parkinsons . Not fair.
Also Randy Travis.
Dolly's last comments on this video is why I love Dolly so much. I love the trio, but I have a special place in my heart for Dolly. She's just the best humanity has to offer.
Talent, beauty and great humanity. What a combo!
@@hank1519 yes had an aunt dolly long time gone but had that same smile let u know that everything is ok anytime
@@gregoryoakes7476 Sounds like she was a lovely person.
@@hank1519 if you are surrounded by love and beauty it hopefully makes u that way if not u have to find it yourself
@@gregoryoakes7476 Very true.
Blue bayou is one of the best vocal performances ever! Oh Linda!
@Andrew Ongais That is a matter of opinion, in their own way they both are very good, kudos to both of them
@Andrew Ongais I take your point, and while Roy still has a following here in Oz, though small, I agree with you
I've always loved Linda Ronstadt. So gorgeous with a set of pipes like nobody else . When music was good music.
Linda best female vocalist ever
Most guys of my generation who loved music also crushed on Linda Ronstadt, including me. I had all her albums and played them in the car when I drove long rips.
There is still good music out there....it is WE who have changed, gotten older, our tastes developed....so we are choosier and, in a way, more "sophisticated"....but when Gaga began, we wrote her off...but no one writes her off, today. She has proven time and again, using her as the example, that she can sing anything she wants to...from The Sound of Music to pop to standards. The music today might not be what we are used to but there are good artists everywhere. Remember, people my age, 50ish, wrote off Dolly Parton when we were young, but then we began to understand her and her style and now...dude....I love her and the made country music a part of my life. Not a huge part, but a part I appreciate.
Her voice is just completely unreal. Nothing compares to it!
God Bless You, Linda. My husband is in his final phase of Parkinson's. It is a cruel disease. He used to be a ballroom dancer. Now he needs 24/7 care. I understand completely what you are going through because I am going through it with him. My husband always loved your music. Rest and have friends & family over--they will get you through this.
How could you not love these 3? For their music, spirit and beauty. Emmy Lou is correct: Linda had the best voice of my generation. Dolly is correct: Linda has one of the all time great voices.
Not a molecule of phoniness in Linda, no-nonsense and brave.
*The way their voices harmonize on “After The Gold Rush” is so beautiful.*
Indeed, that was a truly haunting and beautiful performance.
They were doing an interview & at the end, they decided to do an impromptu gospel acapella.
I was speechless. Their harmonizing was impeccable. Seriously, I had never heard nor have I ever heard three more angelic voices lifted up in song. I'm certain The Almighty was smiling when they finished.
Their voices resonate like a chorus of angels!
I wasn't even born as my parents drove from the eastern US to California. Circa 1962, as they drove through Flagstaff, Arizona they saw a sign in front of a saloon that read, " Appearing tonight, Little Linda Ronstadt!" She was only 15 or 16 at the time! Wow, a distant brush with greatness.
These three unforgettable women who touched the hearts of many.😢😭❤
So true
I've always imagined that when your time comes to pass away, You'll be standing in this golden elevator that takes you to Heaven. And the music playing in the elevator is from these three supremely talented women.
I love that comment. 😊
Yeh!
Soooo, the stairway is too much work ?
@@johnhulsker9123
Not for you because it's going down
Interviewer asks, " so what gets you through?" Linda's response, "common sense" at which point in the video I laughed and cried at the same time. Bittersweet. She STILL has a lot on the ball though. She can't do some things but I could talk to her all day long because she is so well read!!!!
Joyce Hamann Me too Joyce ! I started crying and laughing as soon as the interviewer started talking to Linda ! She's very tough and resilient , I sure hope she has family and friends around her to support her and have her back ! ❤️
Thank you for clarifying what she'd said. Forgive me for my immaturity, but instead of "common sense" I thought she said "having sex".
B
@@bflandragon90 just try to make ur children proud some day if u can
"common sense and luck" was the complete thought she expressed
Smart and brave woman indeed
Time is harsh. We are lucky to have this collaboration forever in recordings...
Amen...
If there's a sweeter sounding trio in THE WORLD, I've never heard it! Truly magnificent!
"Silver Threads and Golden Needles" is right in second place. :-)
Linda has always mesmerised me with those gorgeous eyes, I am now 71 and have listened to her ever since I can remember, such a shame to see her afflicted with this terrible disease ,god bless u Linda for all those memories you have given me.
Hi Terry hope you're okay?
All three are beloved.
Hello Tracy...
When I die, and at the gate of heaven, I want those angels greeting me with their beautiful voices. My goodness.
Hi Dave, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Allyson from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
I agree with Dolly about Linda's voice it's simply amazing, flawless and mesmerizing. I never tire of listening to her.
Hi Bobbi hope you're okay?
They are all just awesome! And Linda has it all wrong, Blue Bayou was a masterpiece, and she sang it to perfection!
crjetpilot I read a quote today by Roy Orbison crediting Linda with putting him back on the map.
If you went to a "Hi Fi" store in the late 1970s, looking to buy a good stereo system, they would demonstrate their very mediocre stereo gear with Blue Bayou. It could make anything sound good.
You said it!
@@roadie3124 haha that's great. I wish I was around in the 70s!
@@roadie3124 I do belive that's where I was introduced to that song. And maybe also Desperado.
Different Drum was the first time I heard Linda Ronstadt voice, I knew she was destined for greatness.
Linda Ronstadt is right that for a singer "Blue Bayou" is either too low or too high. Linda knocked it out of the ballpark.
You are right that is a tough song to sing, I haven't heard anyone that does that song as good as she does it, especially when she hits the highs, they always bring it down a level or put their own spin on it.
Linda Randstad, is a very strong lady, if anyone can beat Parkinson's I have faith she will be the one.
Thistledove I always thought Blue Bayou was a perfect audition song for talent shows because if you could pull it off you can demonstrate your range, not only of notes but of style, with understated tenderness and power ballad.
Listen to Roy Orbison, the writer and original singer. He had one of the greatest ranges of any male singer, and made it seem effortless, as Linda does. I can't imagine listening to anyone other than these two trying to sing it.
This is a family song for us. I love putting in different harmonies for that song....
Beautiful voices!. Beautiful ladies!
I cried hearing Linda no longer can sing. These ladies were there through my youth and I'm so grateful!
I cried also!
The three of them were such great singers on their own. Together they are phenomenal. It's too bad Linda is slowly drifting away. I fell in love with her when she sang with the Stone Poneys.
Wow, Emmylou has aged beautifully
Jessica Ramirez , unfair she is
And I am so JEALOUS!!!
Isn’t she!
Gorgeous white hair...
Every song Linda did gave me chills. And then they did the trio, and I had triple chills. Look, this is why everybody has to believe in Jesus because this just cannot end here! We are going to need that trio in heaven!
The best Christmas gift I ever got as a teen, was Linda Ronstadt's Greatest Hits, from my big sister.
Same! But I got it from my parents!
I love her Mexican album “canciones de mi Padre”. Went on to become the best selling Traditional folk Mexican album in the United States of all time.
Excellent album and never fails to lift my spirits if I'm down
I remember when Johnny Carson shook hands with every band member and spoke to them in Spanish.
Talent! Talent! Talent! Linda 🙏💛
I didn't think it was fair to charge people.....NOW that's a CLASS ACT ARTIST!!!
"you just get worse till you die"
That is someone at peace with what is going to happen to them and is riding it to the end.
Emmy Lou is so beautiful.
I absolutely 💖 how humble they all are. God bless these beautiful, artists,
Agreed. Greatness and humility are a beautiful combination
They are Love's roses.
I grew up in the 70’s listening to bands like Styx bad company Skynyrd BTO Heart and the list goes on. But absolutely loved Linda Ronstadt still do breaks my heart to think about it . Oh and out of all the music I listened to Linda is the only singer that my grandpa ever agreed with me on he was in his 60’s at the time. May God bless her .
Linda is an amazingly beautiful female singer and and vocal perfectionist! Emmy Lou from day one was always splendid! Dolly is arguably queen of country music female singers!! Wishing Linda much comfort and strength. Many thanks and long live these three wonderful voices!
Linda, I was in love with you 50 years ago. You helped me through some bad times. I hope you get through this, as well as you got me through my tough times. Thinking of you!
Linda Ronstadt taught me to sing, the purest perfect voice ever to grace rock, country, opera, traditional Mexican, big band, broadway....if I could ever sing with 1/100th of her talent and purity, I would bother you no more.
Whether separately or together, these three amazing women were a big part of my childhood. They featured prominently in my mother's musical rotation. I could never thank my mom nor them enough.
Apparently Willie Nelson once said “There are two types of people in the world: those who love Linda Ronstadt and those who don’t know she exists.”
I've loved her since high school in the 70's because "Love Has No Pride"! I was 14 when I fell in love! I'm now 65, I've moved on with my life, but I'll always love 💘 Bob! Let's go to Tennessee Whiskey town!!! Don't drink but the music gets me high! Thank you to Chris Stapleton! 😁
Actually, he said that about Emmylou, but it rings true about Linda as well.
@@patlatorres7000 If he said that about Emmylou, we know he had Linda in his mind.
I remember in 1971 listing to her on my wood box AM radio. Thank you . I was in 5th grade.
I was in 1st. and also a wood AM.
Linda was my first crush and first concert in 1978. Thank you Linda for so much pleasure.
The interview and seeing Linda and what she has dealt with today brings tears to my eyes. Her voice of an angel always brings me joy and her resiliency gives me inspiration.Dolly and Emmylou were damn lucky they got to have that honor to associate themselves to perform with someone amazingly awesome. ❤ that trio…Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda
So very heartbreaking we no longer have lovely singers and musicians like these beautiful lady's i will weep to myself when they are all gone one by one they are leaving us, These beautiful lady's gave me memory's inside from my childhood from looking at my mom on a spring day and remembering the smell of her perfume to the day i lost my sweet little granny they were and are a part of my childhood and my life still
Cherie Casey don’t say shit like that every generation has greatness and authenticity and beauty of its own. There will be many wonderful women to come after these, just as there were beautiful women who came before. Don’t do that “no longer” thing it doesn’t work like that. There are always beautiful artists to be found, maybe more now than ever.
Cherie Casey- How touching & So True.❤ i Know how u feel. I too have sweet memories of my mom listening to & singing these ladies songs. Mom was a part- time professional singer. I was blessed to hear mama sing.❤ Linda has always been my favorite. There will probably never be musicians this talented again. in my lifetime anyway. Its been 35 years for me & im still loving listening to them.💜🎼🎶 So far, none of the new music I've listened to even comes close.. Yes, U agree it's really Sad for the new generation.
Melanie Murray what is wrong with you? This person is sharing a sweet sentiment, don’t tell her to don’t feel the way she does. There may be great singers still but the style of music we grew up with is gone, completely and totally, nothing sounds like our cherished memories. Also in this day of video, some of the greatest singers of this generation will never be heard by the masses because they can’t twerk, and other important stuff millennials look for.
@@Featherpen0517 Name all these wonderful artists that have vocals as outstanding as Linda Rondstadt then if they're are so many?
@@jamilgotcher5456 YEAH REALLY!!
My heart ❤️ so goes out to Linda ! Not being able to sing probably was insanely hard to grasp your mind around. It’s like not being able to breathe. She has been one of the greatest voices of all time .
Blue bayou is perfect! I had just moved to Louisiana when I first heard it. I connected with it.
Hearing their three voices is like walking into heaven.
I so love their voices together; the combination is truly special. I don't think I'd ever stopped to listen to anything from Dolly or Emmylou until I heard them sing with Linda, whose music has been in my life every day (really) for as long as I can remember. Love them all now. Even though I have a ton of Linda's music, I sure miss her presence - she's so charming, knowledgeable, and funny - and I'm always looking for updates on her health. The most beautiful things in the world are often fragile and need to be protected and that certainly holds true for Linda. She's contstantly in my thoughts and prayers
Linda could GET IT in her 70's hay-day! Even as a young, 5-year-old kid, I could appreciate Linda Ronstadt's voice. I would wear her records out, which pissed off my parents because they had to buy new ones.
America got talent!
but these three ladies are exceptional. I remember my mum shut me up, when I said I love Linda's *body* *shape* . She said I was too young to be saying things like that.
OMG! I soooo wanted to be Linda Ronstadt back then! These songs bring back so many memories! Love these ladies!
You and me both Judy. I thought Linda was the bees knees lol. What a voice. I still listen to her music today.
Me, too. Nobody will ever come close...I feel so lucky that one of the most gifted singers of all time was at her peak when I was a growing up.
At least we could sing along😄
Me too! And back in the day, I looked a lot like her too. Though I could never sing. But I did catch the eye of my now husband when I was doing a Linda impersonation in an air band contest. So thank you Linda.
I admired Linda for her everything but most of all for her humanity. Everything I hear about her are nothing but gratitude and love.
Linda, my mother had Parkinson's also, but my sister and I lost her a week before her birthday in March of 2020. I have been a fan of yours for a while since I heard "Blue Bayou," thank you. I just wish that this horrible disease was cured so that we don't lose anymore really good people.
How terrible Parkinson's has left Linda not to be able to sing with that gorgeous voice any longer. God bless her for handling it so well and for being so humble. She is the greatest.
Hi Stephanie hope you're okay?
I am one of those guys who has had a crush on Linda for half a century.
My God I love the three of them so much...They're voices are so beautiful and they've made this world such a better place for being in it...God bless them😇😇😇
God bless them for sure.
There will never be another Linda Ronstadt
I love all three of them. I was just thinking, I would love to see Dolly one day without the wigs and makeup and nails. She is so naturally beautiful. Although I love her persona too. I've been in love with Dolly my whole life. Linda's voice is like a rocket red glare. And when I was in the seminary I used to listen to Emmylou singing Making Believe and I Live On A Big Blue Ball. And Trio. Emmlylou has such a gorgeous stirring quality to her voice. All three of them . . . my goodness. God has blessed us mightily with these three.
I love how real Linda Rondstadt is. It doesn’t get any more genuine than Linda. She is the definition of a musician’s musician. Sending lots of love to Linda.
Linda You are so strong, and a inspiration.
Linda was the woman of the day... sexy, beautiful, incredible singer. There wasn't a woman on the planet who didn't want to be her.
Listening about Linda Ronstadt and her declining Parkinson's disease is about the most terrible thing I can imagine for her. May God Bless you Linda.
I started listening to Linda Ronstadt at 14 in 1976 on my 8 track player. I loved her then & I love her now. Her voice is phenomenal, & her attitude towards her illness gives me the strength to deal with my own health issues. God Bless you, Linda.
Blue Bayou - one of my all time favorites!! Linda is amazing. Wish her nothing but the best.
Hi Marisa hope you're okay?
You are, a beautiful and brave woman of my generation. Thank you for this interview and for being so candid.🙏👍🇨🇦🕊🥰
Hi Gail hope you're okay?
I had the pleasure of seeing Linda in person & she was always my go to gal!! How I love her & her voice. WoW. It does not get any better then Linda Ronstadt!!!!!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎹🎼🎵🎹🎶💓🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹She is still one beautiful Woman!!! Always💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Blue Bayou will always be one of my absolute favourites. I,ll be 78 in Jan 2024. Well done Linda, you are timeless and priceless.
Linda - divine pipes, a mind of her own and an eclectic musical heart. Loyal devoted musicians always surrounded her. Her critics should be flogged.
Agree on all accounts.
Hi Veronica hope you're okay?
Was never a country fan but joined another couple w/my hubby and saw Dolly in concert. What a treat! I wanted to take her home with me she's so sweet and kind... And fun! Have been a fan ever since.
Always loved Linda, sad to hear that about her. I'll agree getting old sucks!
Harris looks beautiful.
I Have loved Linda I h Ronstadt since I was 17 years old. I am 68 now & my passion for her is unabated. 💖
Linda Ronstadt is the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Moved to tears watching this. What a treasure she is along with Dolly and EmmyLou. Their harmonies are perfection.
I watched the CNN documentary 2 days ago, cried through that, watched this, I'm crying again. I grew up in the 70s/80s/90s with Linda Ronstadt (and Nelson Riddle and Trio), I'm so sad for her - but she's had a great career, thankful for what she gave us!
Hi Dennis, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Allyson from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
I listened to both of their CD's until I practically wore them out. Here are three of the greatest singers of our generation, and I'm so, so sorry for Linda. God bless them for bringing such beauty and joy into our lives.
Cat McNichol , The Complete Trio Collection includes a third c d of unreleased and alternative takes, no fillers in any of the Trio albums , all just sublime☘️☘️☘️❤️💚❤️
What a wonderful woman. Heartfelt thanks Linda.
Linda, what a brave woman... I’ve always loved your voice and now I’ll pray you stay well. 💕
Oh linda ronstadt the voice of all time Emmy I can take or leave don't like dolly too much the country bumpkin no one compares to linda its a shame she has her condition Can't sing but she's so brave in accepting it how she does love u forever
Hello Katie...
Back in 1978, I shared a house in Anchorage with a bunch of people. One guy played Blue Bayou over and over and over for three months and I enjoyed it every single time. Fabulous song.
Those of us who've seen Linda live over the years know what a beautiful, indelible voice she has. One of a kind.
I like what Dolly had to say about Linda being the best singer ever " and that includes Streisand or anybody"
Umm...
People always forget about Joan Baez.
Incredible octave range. An unmatched vibrato. Soft or loud...
@@aldee7533
So many great vocalist but joan herself would agree she cant sing like linda
her and Karen Carpenter are my TOP picks ... but of course I love Babs too :)
She said ONE OF the greatest singers ever. Slow your roll, cowboy.
I have never heard anyone who could cry with her voice in song the way Linda Could.
So beautiful. Brings tears.
Hi Diane hope you're okay?
My favorite female singer.Dolly,Emily Harris and Linda wow what a trio.
I would love the opportunity to share some GOOD news with Linda Ronstadt that she can receive healing for her diagnosis - l know something that will make a difference in her life. Wish I had that chance, but I have and will continue to pray for her. She is loved.
I love all 3 of these women. But I'm devastated over Linda. Prayers for her.
Hi Christine hope you're okay?
I have been in love with Linda Ronstadt for at least 45 years....she is still such a sweetheart!!!!!!!!
Hi Donny hope you're okay?
Youth passes us all by. Where does time go? Three incredible Ladies. Songs instantly transport us back to another time and place.
Linda...greatest female singer ever....full stop. Love always.
Linda and EmmyLou were huge influences for me growing up, along with Joan Baez and John Denver.
Kathleen Beveridge John Denver singing “And so it Goes” is one of the finest songs set to vinyl.
@@tjwash5118 So many great songs from John, that I don't know if I could name just one favorite, but he was the key to my great love and respect for our environment and why I moved to a rural area as an adult and continue to be blessed to live in such a breathtaking area. His music was soul touching.
God Bless you all!
The singers we have today cannot compare to the magnificent voices of these beautiful talented ladies!
Check out Brandi carlile and Rufus wainwright to name two voices from the next generation that are great. There are other younger ones as well. They’re harder to find these days given the fragmentation of the business. But they’re there.
The most beautiful voice I have heard in a long, long, long time prayers go out to Linda to help her through this time in her life that way no her voice is absolutely beautiful….❤
Hi Sue hope you're okay?
Three awesome ladies with wonderful voices. I can listen to them for hours. Three of my favorite singers.
I listen for hours as well.
