I used to enjoy Linda's music. She was not as good as people liked to think she was, but she did have potential. I don't think she ever fulfilled it. I saw her in concert several times.
But even when I was listening to her back in the eighties, I used to think, "What a shame someone with such a nice voice is such a whack."
Yes she was.
Check out her recordings of standards with Nelson Riddle.
Or when she, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris mix it up....aural heaven.
