Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Did anyone like Linda Ronstadt ??

I thought she was fantastic, never really got the accolades she deserved.

She was the top grossing female act in the world for several years running…..

I liked the hell out of here, never could decide if her or Pat Benatar could range the most octaves. Loved them both, voices & looks. Never gave a damn about their politics, just liked their music & wanted to do them both.

First heard her sing in public around the mid-60s sometime - local stuff. From the start she had great rhythm and energy, and excellent sense about what to do with a song - how to present. I was not at all a fan of that type of music but her intonation, phrasing, energy and style were impressive. Later and through members of her extended family I would hear that things were going well for her with the original touring band and later when the Wrecking Crew came into play.

Of course, she worked right to the top. A natural. After years of hearing her on radio and seeing her on TV her it was old stuff - but good stuff. Then later I heard a couple of those standard ballads done with Nelson Riddle. Completely different genre - and very well done. Hats off to one fine singer.

She's so good

Not anymore.

Ronstadt never married.

Most likely never found True Love. Sad.

Consider the Liberal dating pool.

Picture looks like Biden's picks for government jobs.

I always liked Roy Orbison's version of Blue Bayou over Linda Ronstadt's version. She also did a version in Spanish, Lago Azul. A better Spanish version was done by Bibi Gaytan. Bibi was better looking too. lol

J. Edgar Hoover would have fit right in.

Hard to figure how Parkinson's disease silenced her singing voice, but she still speaks okay. Strange and sad, but Parkinson's has disabled and taken many.

She was a Mudshark, Arron Neville.

Parkinson’s was the original diagnosis, updated in 2019 to progressive supranuclear palsy. No idea what the difference is.

There's an Instagram page about her. Saw it earlier today. She's not well. She sings in her mind. It's sad really.

Lots of young girls are doing this today. They don’t date them, just hook up and move on. They still date white boys to pay the bills. The black dudes get all the gravy, with no responsibility.

Good singer real bad politics
