I remember that I was trying to decide if I should buy a CD player back in the dawn of history, when I went to my local Macintosh dealer for a hearing.
Her CD "Whats New" was playing on a $400 Yamaha player and I made the decision to buy both. I still listen to that CD and I have a copy on my computer. She did have a great voice and thankfully we all can still enjoy her singing.
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!!!
