Happy 74th birthday to the legendary Linda Ronstadt

Yes, there is an existing thread, but since it's rather rude to Ms. Ronstadt let's try this one.

R5 I'm not, but I also know there are a number of devoted LR fans here.

I'm more of a Joni fan myself but I can tip my hat to Ms. Ronstadt.

Another Ronstadt / Disney favorite, "When You Wish upon a Star". That last high note on "...true." So wonderful.

I read her memoir of several years ago. She tells very little about her private life and is a little too tight-mouthed at times. Never married and adopted a couple of children.

The very handsome man in the What's New video is apparently Danny Kortchmar. Few recognize his name but he has been literally everywhere in the 70s era of rock.

When will she find love?

by Anonymousreply 15July 15, 2020 4:07 PM

She was very smart to hangout with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, one made her look down to earth and natural and the other made her not look like a dog.

My quarantining has led me back to Linda and I've flooded my youtube lists with her songs.

Thanks to both threads. You're both pretty.

Another year of non apologies for her past racist actions. Hopefully, there won't be many more

I love Linda. It breaks my heart that she has Parkinson's. I hope she has a wonderful birthday.

My favorite song by Linda may still be her first big hit, with the Stone Poneys - "Different Drum". Her voice is amazing and the song is great - and it was written by Michael Nesmith of The Monkees.

Different Drum is an awesome song.

R30 he was a very talented musician /songwriter. I think Andrew Gold (Thank you for Being a Friend) wrote a lot of her songs, too.

Back when Rachel Ray was just a cute chubby girl (circa 2003), she looked like she could have been related to Linda.

She could sing a Jimmy Webb song like no other (apologies to Glen Campbell and Art Garfunkel). Wish they had collaborated on an entire album!

Here’s a track from his solo album, featuring Linda.
