@garyhamby4569~~For sure~~She will always be my fave~~I took my Ma to see her in concert back in the 80's along with Willie Nelson, The Stray Cats and Emmy Lou Harris~~I never saw my Ma so happy~~She never went anywhere~~It was such a treat for her and of course, me~~Have a nice day~~💗💗💗~~
As a teenager in the '60s and '70s. Linda Ronstadt was my first love. She never knew it but I felt it. And here I am a 70 now and I still love Linda. Here's to you Linda Ronstadt beautiful woman, beautiful voice❤🎉🎉🎉😂🎉
Whenever I'm feeling old I watch Linda Ronstadt and thank the heavens that I was a teenager during the 70s. I remember sitting on the floor near my turntable. I played her albums over and over. What do teens have now? Not trying to put them down, but Linda Ronstadt was and is one of a kind. Never to be equaled.
Pure talent on display. No auto-tune, no 50 dancers behind her, no lasers, no flesh pots, no computer loops. She puts to shame 99% of what passes for over-hyped and commercialized "talent" today.
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. Jus a pure and strong voice that hits every single note right on without a miss. Try doing that now days ladies.
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.
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.
Roll up, roll up, step up and do it better than Linda, come on all you 'greats' of today, I DARE YOU, you couldn't come close, couldn't hold a candle to her, pitch perfect, perfect phrasing, perfect timing, absolutely gifted. I feel absolutely blessed to have lived in the same time slot, won't see the likes of you again Linda, thank you very much.
2014... she finally was recognized and inducted into the hall of fame! one of the, if not THE greatest female voices ever! God bless you linda, and thank you!
yep... the greatest ... if my heart and soul could have morphed into a human form it would be Linda Ronstadt in the 1970s. Every boy loved her, every girl wanted to be her. Still to this day I feel 100% the same way.
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 us the undisputed queen of songbirds. Take it in now and enjoy. If we live for 100 million years, we shall never again see the likes of Linda Ronstadt. If ther is a god, she would still perform,
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.
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.
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.
+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.
+Ronnie Bishop Elvis is the greatest of all-time, but Linda is, by far, the best female singer. She's like Elvis in the sense that she's the perfect combination of voice, looks, and stage presence. I love Linda. Especially in love with 60's and 70's Linda. Her beauty hurts.
@@brdwonder How about Billie Ellish, or Taylor Swift, and many more..... I bring up these two to highlight the multimedia world we live in today. Don't get me wrong I love Linda Ronstadt and her uniquely beautiful looks and voice.
I too am a Parkinson sufferer and it grieves me so that this lady with a special voice has succumbed to this awful affliction. It causes many problems with everyday living. Let's hope that a cure can be found for everyone's sake. Good luck to Linda - she deserves our prayers for the many happy memories we have of her performing days..
Prayers for your comfort too. I noticed your message showed what a good hearted person you are you kept it all about her and other who suffer with out any regards to your own pain . You are 'Top Shelf' wish the world had more like you.
God promises no more pain or suffering or tears if we trust Jesus who paid our sin debt in full while we didn't care. He took it on for us, and now if we just put our faith in Him?
Instead of offering inane, meaningless platitudes, if you were REALLY serious about it, sufferer or not, get off your god bothering asses and do something about it, donate to SCIENTIFIC research, hold a fund raiser, do ANYTHING but pray, NOTHING FAILS LIKE PRAYER!!
Love this woman's artistry so very much. Never any better. QRP I know she is struggling now and I send the highest form of radiant thought of wellness to LINDA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MUSIC. QRP
Right - I was just going to post that. I've seen her so many times on TV and in concert from the early days and pretty sure I never saw her play guitar. Not a complicated thing on guitar, but still nice to see.
Jake Miller the first time I heard her speak I was floored. I could not believe it. I can’t think of a single artist who’s speaking voice and singing voice are so different sounding as hers are.
@@tjwash5118 Absolutely agree, I too was incredulous when I heard her speaking voice. A phenomenal transformation occurred when it shifted gears and became that exceptional instrument.
A true artist. During her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction it took five amazing, (mostly) legendary women to even BEGIN to come close to covering Linda Ronstadt's range, dynamics, and tone...not to mention her power and pathos. This live performance starting with just her and the guitar shook me to the core. 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. Here she made me cry anew.
This is the first time that I have heard this song, sung by a wonderful lady like Linda Ronstadt. 👍 She has an awesome, and amazing voice! ⚘ I remember when this song was first recorded by the late, and great singer; know as, Buddy Holly! I used to play and sing along with this song, on my piano; often when I was a lot younger! I really enjoyed listening to her singing, "It Doesn't Matter Anymore!" 💯% 👌 Thanks, for sharing this video on your CZcams channel! 🙏 💯% 💌👍
“I’ll find somebody new, baby, we’ll say we’re through. And you won’t matter anymore. That phrase slays me. thank you Paul Anka, for writing such a perfect line and Linda Ronstadt, for singing it better than anyone else.
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.
She goes right from giving the song a little intro and then pops right into the melody, with PERFECT TONE, PERFECTLY ON-PITCH and just beautiful vibes. LINDA, we miss you!! Voice of an angel!!
Oh that voice, that style of interpreting a song, that look. I was deeply sad when I learned that Parkinson's took her voice but I thank God we have this precious body of work from her. Amazing talent, personality. Thank you, Linda
The voice of an angel! Must've been tough when she realized her voice started to fade. But she touched many! Very classy lady, too! Tucson, AZ's pride! Peace from Tucson, AZ! ✌
Your fan for life,you are too good,all your music has a good impact on our lives,anyway I will still be one of your passionate fans forever.Good health and all the best
A true musical gift .My favorite female vocalist hands down. She sings from the heart and that's what sets her apart along with just being good person. Thank you for the music Linda.
I remember reading once, a long time ago, that Linda considered herself an "interpreter" of songs. I say that just about sums it up. She grasps the emotion and uses the proper inflection at just the right spots and sells the song. Probably the reason men and women all love her.
That's the difference between a good singer covering someone else's song and the rest of us. She is just special - and i am just 🤢 green..! Thankfully only God can hear me sing along 💓
Someone recently said " Like an exorcism - Ronstadt takes the soul of a song and transforms it into her own." Others may own the copywrite but the song is in her very being. Very rare and very impressive. Powerful and tender.
Born in 1952. Still listening to this beautiful voice May 12, 2021. She was best female vocalist of my life. I loved her from a great distance. Hers is the only voice that even compared to the late great otherworldly voice of Carl Wilson. I loved him, too.
Linda Ronstadt is of course one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. She has beautiful voice, and she is very beautiful too. Thank you Linda, for many of the good songs for us. I love you, wish you to overcome the illness and get healthy soon.
I have been a fan of Linda for nearly forty years and have never seen footage of her playing guitar. What a lovely surprise, she's very good. Now I understand why Martin Guitars produced a signiture model in her honour.
Pure, gilt-edged singing, a voice that would have made the angels weep, and so nice to see her playing guitar. No one better. Could listen to her all day.
Love this lady. We are the same age. I was living in Las Vegas when she came out with the stone ponys singing. I loved her voice! I feel so bad she has Parkinson's. God bless Linda! You will always be in my heart. I have your record albums on vinyl and CD's. I play them in my car....love you lady! ❤
Beautiful lady with totally fabulous voice. She can sing any song and it becomes hers for ever in my mind, thank you Linda for the pleasure you’ve given me listening to you.
Can you imagine just Linda and her voice commanding the Argentina of a large concert venue! You could hear a pin drop as concert goers listened anticipating every note she sang! A truly great talent !
Linda is a consummate artist -- beyond a performer, she is a treasure. We are infinitely lucky to have her music, her performances recorded for our enjoyment.
Linda is such a beautiful soul. Though she can no longer sing or bless us with that beautiful voice... she excepts what has happened to her and lives on. Today she spends most of her day reading books in the comfort of her home in San Francisco, listening to classical music while we enjoy her music she blessed us with years ago. Thanks for sharing this!
Just stunning in its simplicity and sadness. For all her hits and stardom - lies and legends - it was the voice - clear and direct -that mattered. Please give us a legit live recording with quality sound. Great Great singer.
Ah, Linda. Pitch perfect and so very lovely. To me, the greatest female singer of her era. A National Treasure. ❤
@garyhamby4569~~For sure~~She will always be my fave~~I took my Ma to see her in concert back in the 80's along with Willie Nelson, The Stray Cats and Emmy Lou Harris~~I never saw my Ma so happy~~She never went anywhere~~It was such a treat for her and of course, me~~Have a nice day~~💗💗💗~~
A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice singing beautiful music. At 71 I cannot get enough of pure beauty. She has always been beauty. magnificent.
I agree 100%
As a teenager in the '60s and '70s. Linda Ronstadt was my first love. She never knew it but I felt it. And here I am a 70 now and I still love Linda. Here's to you Linda Ronstadt beautiful woman, beautiful voice❤🎉🎉🎉😂🎉
Still the best voice on Earth ! 🧡
Absolutely agree
What a voice. She makes every song her own. Doesn't matter who did it before her.
Totally concur. I liked Buddy Holly's original, but Linda's rendition takes it to a whole deeper lump-in-the-throat level.
Perfectly said!
Linda, any genre, any decade, any mood, anytime, always awesome. No one will ever replace her.
Nobody ever could compare, she's one in a million! God blessed us with Linda! ❤
Absolutely !
Whenever I'm feeling old I watch Linda Ronstadt and thank the heavens that I was a teenager during the 70s. I remember sitting on the floor near my turntable. I played her albums over and over. What do teens have now? Not trying to put them down, but Linda Ronstadt was and is one of a kind. Never to be equaled.
In my dreams she plays this song for me in front of a fireplace; just for me.
Me too. Thanks for saying turntable.
your so right there will never be another voice like Linda Ronstadt
too much glamer today and trying to outdo
each other and it all sounds the same. Lynda will always be better.
T S I had just enlisted in the USAF when a friend turned me on to Linda Ronstadt. I’ve been a fan since 1975 and I still love her music to this day.
Pure talent on display. No auto-tune, no 50 dancers behind her, no lasers, no flesh pots, no computer loops. She puts to shame 99% of what passes for over-hyped and commercialized "talent" today.
I agree
And the other 1% is of no consequence.
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.
Jus a pure and strong voice that hits every single note right on without a miss.
Try doing that now days ladies.
You got it,you said it all
@@artysanmobile I hope you enjoy your mediocrity like a well behaved consumer . . . now there's a good boy, you get a cookie.
Have always loved Linda. No one like her these days.
When Linda starts singing you could grate carrots on my goosebumps. Always has been my number 1 female singer. And she's gorgeous x
I am 70 yarn old and grew up with LR. Didn't appreciate her enough then. But I am catching up over the last 10 years. She is exquisite.
Looks and talks like the girl next door, but sings like a diva.
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.
Insane . Just insane to 👎 this piece.
Thumbs down is just someone who enjoys expressing their hatred. It's music. Ignore them.
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.

She's wonderful
THEY'VE 💩 TASTE IN ARTISTS N MUSIC IS WHY!!!
Roll up, roll up, step up and do it better than Linda, come on all you 'greats' of today, I DARE YOU, you couldn't come close, couldn't hold a candle to her, pitch perfect, perfect phrasing, perfect timing, absolutely gifted. I feel absolutely blessed to have lived in the same time slot, won't see the likes of you again Linda, thank you very much.
Phenomenal voice, too bad she can’t sing anymore but we’ve got all her songs to treasure. GOD bless you Linda ❤❤❤
She's the most excellent vocalist of my generation...so beautiful..
Possibly the female version of the Great Carl Wilson.
Any generation ❤️
2014... she finally was recognized and inducted into the hall of fame! one of the, if not THE greatest female voices ever! God bless you linda, and thank you!

Linda is brilliant. Her voice gives me the chills. Yes, no glitz just pure brilliance of her amazing voice. She is such an icon.
I've been listening since 78, how much richer this woman's music has made my life, thank you Linda ❤
best show i had the privilege to see in 77...
I graduated from high school in 1976, and at that time I adored Linda Ronstadt. This video proves she was worthy of my devotion.
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.
She's singing "I guess it doesn't matter anymore," but her voice says it matters more than anything. It is so touching.
I am from Tucson myself one year younger. When Different Drum came out I thought it was the best song ever
I agree - she doesn't sound convinced that it doesn't matter.
Thank you linda for everything from england god bless💕
I just watched her sing Tumblin Dice, now this. Who today could kill those two songs like she does...no one. No one.
who could beat the stones but she did
Most sing what they can. Ronstadt sang what she wanted. Divine pipes.
And that was everything!
went down the Linda Ronstadt rabbit hole on utube and almost couldn't get out. She too fine.
same here main mast. Ive been watching her videos on here for over a week . Know how you feel.
@@coltsfan6179 I had a crush on Linda Rondstat back in the 1970's. I still do.
She's amazing. Give her Mariachi music a try. Its beautiful as anything she's done.
funny
I'm still down there and I'm not coming out
Am 77 years old and just became a fan of Linda. What a voice. Her Blue Bayou choked me up.
Perhaps my favorite from her. But, then, there are about a million of those!
How come it took you so long to 'find' Linda, Jay? Be Well, and enjoy life & Linda's music ;-)

Hi Regina💐💐
Clear, passionate and unadorned. Her voice had so much color, strength and warmth. She torched up rock and roll. Sigh...
Wonderful song. I want to listen it again and again! TANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Hi Grazyna💐💐
I've been a fan of hers for 40 years, and I've never seen her sing while playing the guitar. Wow. Thanks.
Same here. I had no idea she could play. Now I have even more admiration for her.
Right - I was just going to post that. I've seen her so many times on TV and in concert from the early days and pretty sure I never saw her play guitar. Not a complicated thing on guitar, but still nice to see.
Me either, i m hoping to make a fingerpicking breakthru by watching &studying alllll these yrs later
Same here. She's one of my favorites from back in the day, but I had no idea she could play.
Wonderful ,right I've never seen it either. What a treat. ❤️
The very best female vocalist of the 20th century.
She was good, but please...
Unbelievable! She goes from cute little nasal talking voice to the perfect pitch singing of an angel in a blink.
Crazy, right?! Remarkable.
Jake: So very true. I could listen to her sing nursery rhymes and I’d me mesmerized!
Remarkable ❤️ I wish I had talent like this. God bless her.

As time goes by - Linda Ronstadt seems more and more remarkable. Pure of voice and fine musical chops.
It’s a combination of the fact that she is remarkable and the vast majority of today’s singers are so completely unremarkable.
I am proud to be one of millions of her fans
Hi Gina💐💐
A true artist. During her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction it took five amazing, (mostly) legendary women to even BEGIN to come close to covering Linda Ronstadt's range, dynamics, and tone...not to mention her power and pathos.

She had a great band too - with Dan Dugmore on that lovely pedal steel, Kenny Edward on bass and vocals with Andrew Gold.
She was in rare form in 1977... I SO LOVE HER-!!!!!!! 🙂😀👍✌️

We all knew that she could sing like an angel but wow she's a decent guitar player too. God bless you Linda Ronstadt ❤❤❤❤❤❤
EMD-E8 Why is everyone who doesn’t have your opinion an idiot? Why in the heck do you have to be the turd in the punch bowl?
The purest voice to ever grace Rock and Roll Music. There won't come another ..
I remember reading once, a long time ago, that Linda considered herself an "interpreter" of songs. I say that just about sums it up. She grasps the emotion and uses the proper inflection at just the right spots and sells the song. Probably the reason men and women all love her.
I believe I saw her during this same tour in Memphis. I was in about the 26th row on the floor of the Mid-South coliseum.
19 years after Buddy Holly recorded Paul Anka's song Linda melts my heart. So glad I was a 'Boomer'
Linda covers many songs but she tends to make ‘‘em her own.
That's the difference between a good singer covering someone else's song and the rest of us. She is just special - and i am just 🤢 green..! Thankfully only God can hear me sing along 💓
Someone recently said " Like an exorcism - Ronstadt takes the soul of a song and transforms it into her own." Others may own the copywrite but the song is in her very being. Very rare and very impressive. Powerful and tender.
God sure blessed her with a beautiful voice and took it away. Every time I hear her sing anymore I tear up.
Great arrangement. Nice intro, world's best girl's voice and presentation. What's missing? The 70's. Man I miss those days.
I do also...we had it made
Born in 1952. Still listening to this beautiful voice May 12, 2021. She was best female vocalist of my life. I loved her from a great distance. Hers is the only voice that even compared to the late great otherworldly voice of Carl Wilson. I loved him, too.
Wow!! I was once a singer so I know how utterly magnificent this is. Actually, this is perfection. Every note completely, perfectly rendered.
Oh joy, oh rapture. Always believed Linda's voice. In person she was sublime - only female pipes for me.
Voice like an angel and a very beautiful woman. Thank God for her and thanks for posting this.
Linda Ronstadt is of course one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. She has beautiful voice, and she is very beautiful too. Thank you Linda, for many of the good songs for us. I love you, wish you to overcome the illness and get healthy soon.
I have been a fan of Linda for nearly forty years and have never seen footage of her playing guitar. What a lovely surprise, she's very good. Now I understand why Martin Guitars produced a signiture model in her honour.
a Martin sings by itself.
Yeah, she could play a little, sweet :-)
GORGEOUS pure vocals. A modest song made important by a glorious songbird.
Pure, gilt-edged singing, a voice that would have made the angels weep, and so nice to see her playing guitar. No one better. Could listen to her all day.
Love this lady. We are the same age. I was living in Las Vegas when she came out with the stone ponys singing. I loved her voice! I feel so bad she has Parkinson's. God bless Linda! You will always be in my heart. I have your record albums on vinyl and CD's. I play them in my car....love you lady! ❤
As soon as she sings that first note I get chills......brings back such great memories
That was exactly my reaction.
Her speaking voice is even beautiful!
Must be the best ever version of this song by the best female singer of our times.
Instant tears and goosebumps. Holy shit, she killed it!
Timeless Linda...that voice was so beautiful.
When I was a lot younger in the 1970s, I think Linda sang the phone book, and it went Platinum. Thank you beautiful lady.
Koala: Did she sing the Yellow Pages? Or the Directory? I believe she could do it if she decided to!
70's and 80's... She WAS the music scene... ❤️🎶🎼😍
Her voice is so beautiful it can bring you to tears.
She sings this song so beautifully
Beautiful lady with totally fabulous voice. She can sing any song and it becomes hers for ever in my mind, thank you Linda for the pleasure you’ve given me listening to you.
Her gift for music goes beyond her voice, she wrote the guitar arrangement for this version- so good
Thank you for this information. I wish we had more videos of Linda Ronstadt playing guitar.
Your voice is very sweet to listen to and unique... praying for your recovery so soon....
Five minutes of pure heaven. Thanks Linda.
Simply unbelievable one of the best female vocal performers of all time. No gimmicks and no Auto tuners to fix her voice, just pure Linda
Almost without ego. How wonderful and rare that pure voice be. Her joys and sorrows are in her singing. The simplicity of this live was killer.
Can you imagine just Linda and her voice commanding the Argentina of a large concert venue!
You could hear a pin drop as concert goers listened anticipating every note she sang! A truly great talent !
My first comment on youtube i think... the most amazing rendition of a wonderful song 2020 or not
Queen of her scene with a very special singing voice. What a simply gorgeous arrangement. The song and Linda both.
buddy holly song
Linda is a consummate artist -- beyond a performer, she is a treasure. We are infinitely lucky to have her music, her performances recorded for our enjoyment.
I have always loved her!.....she can sing anything and is so pretty on top of that!...Very underrated I think.
Hi Isabel💐💐
I saw her twice during this period - amazing!
Linda is an amazing human being, beautiful and talented, very modest, and forever giving her love to us all...She will never be forgotten !
Linda is such a beautiful soul. Though she can no longer sing or bless us with that beautiful voice... she excepts what has happened to her and lives on. Today she spends most of her day reading books in the comfort of her home in San Francisco, listening to classical music while we enjoy her music she blessed us with years ago. Thanks for sharing this!
Just stunning in its simplicity and sadness. For all her hits and stardom - lies and legends - it was the voice - clear and direct -that mattered. Please give us a legit live recording with quality sound. Great Great singer.
Linda is just a musical masterpiece ! If I could think of a better description, I would have used it !
What a tribute to the great Buddy Holly by the great Linda Ronstadt
