Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.


Do not know if everyone has seen or heard this, but Linda Ronstadt has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and can't sing anymore.

If one can say that a particular artist/group got them into high-end audio, she would be mine.

Definitely in my top 5 of favorite female vocalists.

Very sad indeed...

When I was auditioning speakers (NHT's and Vandersteen 1B's) for my first really "serious" stereo many years ago, I would use Linda Ronstadt recordings. The audio guy who was great overall in his dealings with me, a mere female, did comment "why bother for this really?". He was a big classical fan.... and this was during her beginning pop phase.
(I did get my Sima integrated amp from him but ended up with Totem Model 1's)
I do love to hear her sing and "Western Wall" and "Adieu False Heart" are among my favourites.
