A magnificent double album by Linda Ronstadt - "Round Midnight" (Page 2): That’s among her many genres of musical achievements. I played her country crossover hits when I worked in...

That’s among her many genres of musical achievements. I played her country crossover hits when I worked in radio in the ‘70s. Then I played her rock albums at home.

I saw her live in 1973 at Carowinds in Charlotte. She played a long concert of various styles. Linda was one of the nicest, most versatile, and most talented performers in the industry, according to those around her. It was so sad when she lost her voice.

She is/was such a great singer, able to handle a multitude of genres with her great voice. Saw her once in concert where she did a lot of Nelson Ridley. You should watch her documentary, very well done.

Thanks for the comment.

I've loved that voice since she started with "Different Drum" when she was with "The Stone Poneys". I always thought that she was underrated. She has great range and shows it off in one of my favorites. It's her duet with Aaron Neville..."I Don't Know Much"... I never get tired of listening to that song. They're both outstanding. If I recall correctly, she can no longer sing aloud but sings Opera in her head. What a loss. For her and us. Thanks for this Mark.

Thanks. I have long loved her but I don’t know why I don’t possess any of her albums. This gives me a reminder to do something about that.

Thanks!! I'll help you spend your money!

I too have this collection, in fact I was listening just yesterday! I’m always blown away by Ms Ronstadts vocals.

I guess that is synchronicity!!

We have at least two of her collaboration albums and they are great. I think it brought out her best when she did these.

Great music!!

Yes, it was such a sad career ending for her. My pleasure!

I had such a crush on Linda Ronstadt as a young man - certainly fueled by seeing her live in concert. So sad that she lost the ability to sing out with her beautiful voice due to myasthenia gravis.

I would have loved to have heard Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poneys live, at the Troubadour in L.A..

So many great artists from the 1960s and '70s made it there. Many of them lived in Laurel Canyon, the story of which has been documented to death on YouTube and elsewhere by many journalists. It's a bizarre tale of the heydays of rock. But it includes a lot of players from the jazz, blues, and classical scenes as well.

The storys of the Troubadour are fascinating. I was never there because I did not live in the LA area but I had a woman friend (now deceased unfortunately) who waitressed there and a male friend who was there often and they told many stories about it. If I recall correctlhy, Linda recruited four guys she met there to back her up on her next tour and after the tour they became the Eaglesl As already stated, the list of those who performed there is absolutely incredible.
