> Indeed she was stunningly beautiful. <

Willie Nelson and I agree.

“There are two kinds of men in this world. Those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her.”
- Willie Nelson

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#16: "It’s such a shame she had some a terrible weight management problem."

Yep. I bet that old abuela can really pack in the lard fried bean burritos.

[Adder]

Wow...quite the list!

I’ll check it out. She was so damn hot back in the day and could sing too.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Blue Bayou, one of my all time faves.”

Her rendition is amazing. I love it.

In a move back a couple decades ago I lost all of my vinyl. Some of her albums were included.

[Fair Paul]

She sounds better live than recorded.

[4yearlurker]

Don't forget Rick Derringer who died at 77. He was around for almost 60 years!

[wjcsux]

One of my friends in Tucson grew up with her. He said that she’s a mean little bitch.

[John S Mosby]

Appreciate the loss of vinyl— cause the re-recordings digitally are tweaked up to beyond possible recorded sounds- particularly of singing voices.

“Blue Bayou” written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson (who also wrote together, “Crying” and “Only the Lonely”).

Here’s Roy Orbison doing Blue Bayou- from the vinyl. There is no one who can sing like Roy did. Maybe, Ronnie Milsap- who is still touring and singing well:

With an all star backup band, including James Burton and Bonnie Raitt:

Who became a Christian, and rewrote his song “Still Alive and Well”

“Jesus is My Saviour and the Truth is what I found!”

[John S Mosby]

Performed those tunes at the number one Americana Festival in the US— MerleFest (Doc Watson’s festival for his son), with a full mariachi big hat band.

Not well received at all fans were screaming for “Silver Threads and Golden Needles”— and Eagles tunes she did with them.

She has MS iirc. And is obese with diabetic complications, and Mehicano genetics.

Yes, I remember well alll the controversy at the time when she switched from her folk rock / rock genre to her Mexican heritage honoring her father. I was shocked people were so narrow minded about it.

Ronstadt was an amazingly talented chanteuse who could easily and flawlessly cover many different genres. Her range spanned rock, country, folk, jazz, and even mariachi. Many people only know her for her rock and roll work and are unaware of her amazing range.

Other notable female singers with similar wide ranging talents (often classically trained):

Lady Gaga mastered pop, jazz, dance, country, and musical theater.

Beyoncé effortlessly blends pop, R&B, hip-hop, country ("Cowboy Carter"), and gospel. Her vocal control and stylistic adaptability shine in everything from ballads to high-energy anthems.

Adele is primarily known for soulful pop and R&B, but she’s also dipped into jazz, country, and even hints of reggae.

Norah Jones seamlessly moves between jazz, blues, folk, country, and pop. Her mellow yet dynamic voice adapts to each style with precision.

Rhiannon Giddens is an exceptional example of a versatile female singer who flawlessly covers multiple genres. A Grammy-winning musician, multi-instrumentalist (banjo, fiddle), and MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient, Giddens is renowned for her ability to weave together folk, country, blues, gospel, jazz, opera, and old-time music with remarkable authenticity and depth.

I really like Giddens' reach-back to negro spirituals and spiritual themes.

[MayflowerMadam]

Thanks for that. I’ll give it a listen when I turn on my PC with better speakers. Even though I lost the vinyl of her with Stone Pony and other Ronstadt recordings, I do have other stuff. I have CDs of her with Nelson Riddle of the pre-’50s music. “What’s New”, “For Sentimental Reasons”, “Lush Life”.

[Leaning Right]

> I was shocked people were so narrow minded about it. <

I have a different take on that. Singers should sing what the paid audience wants to hear, not what they (the singers) want to sing.

It’s another story when it comes to albums and such. Folks know ahead of time what’s on the album. So buy it or not.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

If I recall correctly, people knew she was into her roots at that time, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if her shows were 100% Mexican roots music or a blend of her hits and Mexican roots. I think she billed some her shows around that time at 100% Canciones, so it wouldn’t have been a surprise.

[Lizavetta]

Very talented but leftist scum.

Although I thinks "You're no Good" is a great song she's a shout singer like Adele.

But yes, you are right.
