Linda Ronstadt performed with Russell Kunkel along with Waddy Wachtel and Danny Kortchmar and Leland Sklar ~ what a killer lineup all the way around.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

She is my favorite. I cannot think of anyone else who was so great in different genres. Her work with Nelson Riddle was awesome.

She was a little before my time, but growing up we had three cassette tapes in the car - Eagles greatest hits, Jackson Browne's Running on Empty, and Linda Ronstadt's greatest hits. I really enjoy her music.

I saw her in concert many moons ago. She wore an abbreviated Girl Scout uniform . Man that tripped my trigger . Cub Scout! Pants cut off to shorts. Truly sexy idea. Her recorded interview back in the 70's on the beach shows what an intelligent, thoughtful person she was. Very confident and determined. Her parental lineage on both sides was also and quite successful for generations.

One of the best female vocalist of all time; IMHO.
Willie Nelson once said, "There are two types of men in the world: those that love Linda Ronstadt, and those that never heard of her."
Dolly Parton once said that Linda was the only vocalist she ever met who could sing any song from any genre and make it sound beautiful

Saw her first public performance many years ago on The Johnny Cash Show.
A talented lady with what appears to be serious health issues currently thought to be Parkinson’s but later determined to be a form of palsy. That was her first public performance? Really?

So many of these references are past tense. Did she die?

Maybe first TV performance? I saw Linda Ronsatdt and the Stone Poney's at a free show on The Quad at The University of Alabama in 1969.

Past tense, because she came down with an ailment in 2009, and lost her voice. Very sad. She is still alive.
Her work with Nelson Riddle on What's New is impeccable. We play that album once every 2 weeks.

I saw her that year indoors at UAB in a small capacity auditorium. Did the show with the Stone(ed) Ponies. Same tour I’m sure. Newbies making a name. Came on stage and said “glad to be here, love the city love the state, and your governor sucks chicken dicks !” (Sound of air collectively being sucked through a soda straw by a couple hundred attendees). George Corely Wallace was of course governor at the time. She was a talent for sure.

She was the niece of Al Ronstadt, a close friend of Jack O'Connor back in his Arizona days.

Liked her music. Still do I suppose. Tough to just listen and not recall her politics. It’s a shame such talented people can’t focus on their crafts I get the same feelings from other entertainment and entertainers such as DeNiro, DixieChicks, NFL, etc…. .
As an aside, later in her career I could never get past her resemblance to Shirley (Cindy Williams) of Laverne and Shirley. The hair cut I guess.
