Everyone always talks about Linda's extraordinary singing abilities. Rarely mentioned is how intelligent she is. Always very thoughtful, curious and well informed. She was always very helpful to other women singers as she was a pioneer in the male dominated field.
Her intelligence is reflected in all the risks she took during her career, singing and mastering all those different genres - that is intellectual integrity and honesty. Linda was always her own person, seemingly unfazed by her stardom and amazing voice.
I'm glad she devoted her life to what she was passionate about so she wouldn't have to worry about the future. So very proud how she knew what to do each time she started a new interest in various music field such as pop songs from the 40 and singing Mexican Music to please herself and her father and many others. Her talent is so versatile it really made you take notice of her talent.
I'm weeping.....I just wish I could invade her personal space enough to give her a HUGE hug and thank her for a lifetime of incredible music and inspiration and example. I just love this woman and I pray for her every day. Love you, Linda...and my voice teachers over the years always had me sing your songs because I can sing in your range, thanks to you! I'm 60 now and I know that in my life there will NEVER be another singer that has influenced me as much, or that I appreciate as much. LoveLoveLove, Liz
Actually, Linda is full of hate. She has said nasty things about conservative people, who have different political views from hers. I was very disappointed.
So humbling watching this. Today's generation would see an old lady while the rest of us see a legendary voice and gorgeous lady of the 70's & 80's. Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who haven't heard of her"
I know huh? The Students on my team are 19 - 22 years old. They had no clue how accomplished Linda is. Oh and BTW - they never heard of Santana, Earth Wind and Fire or Chicago. We need to keep educating the Youngins :)
How could anyone not appreciate and care for this lovely human? I saw Linda sing in a smallish venue in Boston in the 70's. She was opening for Jackson Browne. They were taking turns opening for one another on the tour! It remains the best concert I have ever seen. Decades later I do not live too far from her childhood's Tuscon area. Her humane way and strong wish for us as people to do the right thing is her music now, to our ears...
I am 76 and I have spent a major portion of my life with Linda Ronstadt! When I was a young screamer her music fit me like a glove! Her music has blessed me her and my entire life! I am still mesmerized with her 3 albums she recorded with Nelson Riddle and listen to them frequently!! Linda Ronstadt I wish to thank you for a lifetime of music!!
If there was a finer woman voice of the rock era , I have yet to hear it ! Linda's range is quite astonishing . To go from the high powered singing voice to the lowest bass in a matter of seconds with the most natural ease possible ,is in my book unprecedented.... This wonderful lady and her sensational Bands over the decades have lit up a huge part of my musical enjoyment . We rarely see talent of the calibre of Linda Ronstadt these days unfortunately . I'm a huge fanboy and from Scotland.
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
@virginiamccarter6638~~Hi there~~I'm 69 and I have been a fan of Linda since day 1~~I will never get tired of listening to all of her music~~Best female artist ever~~Kelly Clarkson and Pink and Adele are also my faves today~~But there's only one Linda~~I seen her in concert in Syracuse N.Y, back in the early 80's~~Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris and The Stray Cats were part of that concert as well~~I took my Ma because she never went anywhere and she was blown away~~She loved Linda as much as I did and then she realized why I adored her so much~~The whole concert was great considering the fact I only wanted to see Linda~~My Ma had a great time too~~My heart breaks for Linda and I still pray for her~~Glad you got to see her as well~~Happy New Year~~💖💖💖💖💖~~
I just love Linda, her music, her heart, her intelligence, her compassion, She may have been cruelly robbed of her singing voice, but, she has not lost her intelligent conversational speaking voice.❤
Thank you Linda ❤ You have graced the music world with the most beautiful songs... your beauty always shines thru..even to this day. God bless you. ❤❤❤❤.
It really warmed my heart to know that two of my favorite people were a couple once: Linda and Jerry Brown. It's so nice to know they are still close friends.
I just discovered a song sung by Ms. Linda from 1998. Leland Sklar (highly lauded session bassist) posted the Waddy Wachtel song called Damage yesterday. It was my first time hearing it. It amazes me how powerful her voice still was at that time. At the same time it saddened me knowing what was on its way for her in the coming few years from then. As the saying goes; be thankful it all happened.
Wonderful interview with Linda. A rare and remarkable songbird who brought us to so much music and to a better understanding of the Borderlands that are deep in her soul.
What a sweetheart. A bright light unto this earth. She was humble about her beautiful voice. It must have been gifted to her by some divine entity. One of the greatest singers ever.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Linda Ronstadt but after watching this interview I feel she is someone I could be friends with. She has a true sense of humanity and compassion for others. She seems to be very connected to natural world. ❤️
I have LOVED Linda as the most wonderful singer of the last 5 or 6 decades. I hope she realizes how much her living a life to her own personal DRUM has meant to the millions of her fans.
Of course she was unbelievably talented as a singer and performer, but I never realized how insightful and intelligent Linda Ronstadt was and still is until I started watching interviews with her on RUclips.
I never thought I'd see the day. Linda was IT for me. I bought her music in every form, including 8-tracks. I had front-row seats during her Mad Love Tour. I also purchased sheet music, books, magazines...and anything she was in. I adored Linda.. THAT VOICE will live on. ❤🩹
4:454:47 I have wanted to comment so many times but everyone else is saying what I want to say, how solid Linda is in spite of changes beyond what she could control. She cannot sing because of illness but no one forgets that gorgeous voice. Others might complain but not Linda. she can hear her singing in dreams. she has the rare ability to keep moving forward, using what is left. Linda and I are both artists, and the same age. Would I be thta brave if I lost my eyes? I would try, because I am so inspired by her strength.
My God. Not enough words to express the thanks and gratitude for the many, many moments of inspiration, goosebumps, lumps in throat, emotion you imparted to us over the years with your remarkable voice. I am so very happy to see you doing so well. You still look beautiful! Thank you, Linda, for everything you've given to us.
My goodness she has lost a lot of weight. Beyond that superficial comment what an enjoyable interview of an artist I have massive respect and liking for; both her musical output and her character. She is strength to carry on and is so positive. A legend and a delight of a human.
LINDA RONSTADT IS ONE OF THE TOP VOICES IN THE LAST 100 YRS. I REMEMBER FIRST TIME HEARING HER VOICE WAS IN THE 60S. I HAVE SEEN HER MULTIPLE TIMES THRU HER CAREER. THE BEST CONCERT WAS WHEN SHE DID THE SPANISH CONCERTS. EXCELLENT. I STILL LISTEN TO HER WEEKLY. I WILL NEVER STOP PRAISING HER VOCAL TALENT. LINDA YOU ARE STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES
I bought the book on Audible. I really loved her music in the 70s and 80s and still do. I have her cd in my car. I'm a nurse who treats patients with Parkinson's Disease. She has helped raise awareness along with Michael J Fox. It is a devastating neurological disease. My doctor is involved in research and hopefully continues to find new treatments to bring a better quality of life for this population.
Linda conveys as much sincerity in her words as she managed to convey in her songs. Emotions that only those who give themselves to what they believe in can transmit. The truth of someone who undresses in front of an audience that looks at a single person and seems not to believe what they see, but leaves happy with what they saw.
I was born and raised near Tucson and Linda was always my favorite singer. She has an amazing voice and family heritage. I love listening to her stories of her growing up years and her family. I have been a fan for 50 years!
Fun interview. Thank you. I've always loved Linda's multifaceted music. She is one of my all time favorite vocalists. I appreciate her input on this difficult issue, that shouldn't (in my opi ion) be that difficult to solve.
Great interview my favorite singer of all time I wish she could meet a three piece all sister rock band from Mexico called The Warning which is touring the US right now and share with them all that great knowledge of music and history she has I bet they would really appreciate it best wishes to you Linda 🙏
More than the most beautiful woman on the planet with the voice of an angel. She's an amazing human being and humanitarian. No wonder so many of us are still in love with her.
I’m so sorry that this beautiful soul must witness what has become of the place where she was raised. I am so grateful to her for the beautiful music. 🌺✌️
Linda is my hero, my blue print, my mentor. She always has been and always will be. When I feel, in certain moments, that I am judged for being wholesome, the good girl instead of a "bad bitch", or too nice, I think of Linda. She stood out in the rock world as a mega talented, deep, intelligent, and wholesome (but not prudish), beautiful, woman. I could never compare to her but I aspire to have just a speck her beautiful soul.
She was the best woman vocalist but also is such a charming and delightful lady. I love her personality and sense of humor. She is a fascinating & wonderful person. ❤😊
I wish her well. It's a tough one for her. I have some of her albums. Loved listening because of her voice, the tunes and how they was done on my ears. It was so great to lie back to be immersed; flooded in her songs.
adore Linda Ronstadt. bright and sweet. listened first to a song called A different drum with the stone Poneys and enjoyed listening to all of her albums. love this interview. speaks honestly and caringly and stands up for injustices. I am sending love and wishing for her to have less sorrow and more peace. grateful for her beautiful music as well.
Thank you for this interview. Love the book. Linda is a very special songbird. A vibe and voice all her own. The best live pipes on the planet - transformational for tough guys. Sigh...
Continue to thrive in health, happiness, wealth Linda! In mind, body and spirit! Your contribution to music has been beautiful and cherished to those who deeply appreciate the sonic sounds of music. The upcoming generations who will organically discover you will connect immediately to what the spirit in your voice resonated all those years ago. “Time” holds NO BOUNDS to the authenticity of the individual who sings from the “Heart”. Godspeed Linda!
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
She is a gift to our generation; in Spanish or English the talent was immense. Her wisdom shows through her every word...........Thank you Linda Ronnstadt!!!
im reading it right now and its with tear filled eyes, its so beautiful and moving she really is just a most extraordinary person, and she makes you feel the same way about everyone in her family im such a huge fan of them all now
Thank you Linda, for your interview....I am about your age and always loved your singing...I live outside of Boston, MA. I was a go go dancer in the day...I worked with basically Black groups and it felt like home...I don't know if you ever heard of Ilanga of the G-Glefs. He recently died. He was so kind...I loved him...Again, thank you for your interview and the lovely lady who asked the questions...God bless you!
Often imitated but never duplicated...NO ONE can imitate that voice but we all can try to sing a long...TU Linda for your beautiful music..you put so much into your singing that is uniquely you...what a beautiful treasure you are, for all of us who are your admirers/fans. It is painful to me to hear another celebrity singer sing one of your songs. No one can hold a candle to Linda's voice.
This is a wonderful interview! It’s so good to see you, Linda. I’m 66 and your music and my younger years went hand and hand. Thank you for everything. I wish you well! ❤
Always loved playing her Top 40 Hit 'Different Drum' in Seattle. Still have a fresh copy of the 45. Thanks for the music, Linda! And thank YOU Nancy for this insightful moment! John Ross.
I love you Linda and I am glad you are taking about the Sonoran desert. I also live in Arizona and love the desert. Unfortunately they are scrapping it to build too many houses. Makes me sad.
She was my idol. And she inspired me to sing in a band. So much fun and my guitar teacher was the best. He encouraged me to come to sing and the rest is great memories
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
Love this book and Cd. I made my own DVD version with whatever I could find on RUclips to match the CD. Some I had to use ones with photos and one with a montage from a movie using a song. I'm so glad I made myself try to get into the Festival of Books and though was in the back, was able to get in and hear the talk with Linda and Lawrence Downes. I had a Framed Lola Beltran album cover I brought and gave to Mr Downes hoping he could get it to Linda. The cover I acquired from PDQ records where I worked for years. Did not want to throw it away though no vinyl inside. Yay for this interview!
So glad to get to hear this interview. I need to hear these things to not feel so alone just in the world with all its craziness and to have more ideas of how to deal with all these things as life continues to be increasingly overwhelming in so many ways day by day. The simple yet comforting things she's letting us know about are important. Like the socks, and stuff like that. What small things can be done that help. This is a great interview. Thanks to both of you. 🌸🌊
Probably the best, and I mean best, pitch-perfect rock singer. And, of course, back then, every college-age male's visionary's girlfriend! But the expansion into light opera, showed out her versatility. I was blessed to watch Linda performing in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway in NYC. Outstanding.
OMG I LOVE YOU LINDA!! Thank you for acknowledging the people coming through the fence. I wish more Mexican Americans would stick up for the Latino Americanos coming through the fence on THEIR ancestral homelands!

I completely agree. She is quite well rounded. A treasure.
She's A Genius's
I'm glad she devoted her life to what she was passionate about so she wouldn't have to worry about the future.

My mom, may she rest in peace, was such a fan of Linda Ronstadt. ❤
Her insight, her passion, her wit--Parkinson’s hasn’t dulled any of that. She is remarkable.
@Renny Garrison - In 2019, she was re-diagnosed with a rarer condition called progressive supranuclear palsy, another degenerative disease.
No not at all 😂🤦♂️
My Grandfather had PSP it’s hideous!!! She is doing incredible trust me😢😢😢
I'm weeping.....I just wish I could invade her personal space enough to give her a HUGE hug and thank her for a lifetime of incredible music and inspiration and example. I just love this woman and I pray for her every day. Love you, Linda...and my voice teachers over the years always had me sing your songs because I can sing in your range, thanks to you! I'm 60 now and I know that in my life there will NEVER be another singer that has influenced me as much, or that I appreciate as much. LoveLoveLove, Liz
😪
I wish she was not an Atheist. I don't understand it.
beautifully said
I love her too and have for decades!!!!
I disagree with Linda her Christmas album is wonderful
Linda is a compassionate warm intelligent woman who I absolutely love and respect! Been a fan for 40 years.❤❤
You have great taste! I remember I saw her for the first time in Berkely during the sixties. And her band was great! Been a fan ever since.
I second that emotion - been a fan for over 40 years now. When I found out that Linda physically, could no longer sing, I wept. ❤
I couldn’t get enough of her since I saw her on the Johnny Cash Show when she was 21 years old more than 50 years ago. She owned the ‘70’s.
Actually, Linda is full of hate. She has said nasty things about conservative people, who have different political views from hers. I was very disappointed.
@@suraya1224 - Well, I guess everybody loves her except for you.
I'll be a Ronstadt fan forever.

We're the same age ...and we share the exact sentiments of Linda. How lucky we were to grow up having Linda's music to love. ❤❤

There is no finer voice in the rock era, absolutely.
I have always felt that her presence on this planet has been a gift to the people who have witnessed how amazing a human being can be!!
I am 67. I saw Linda at 19 on my birthday. I was blown away. Still love what she did for the music world.❤

I love and respect Linda for her art and her personality.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@@robertwilliams060😂
I saw her in concert when she was 60. In Minneapolis. She was absolutely wonderful.
She is so intelligent ....well spoken.I can listen to her for hours and not get enough She has so much to give
This woman's a certified national treasure.
Multi-national!
@@JoeJoe-ng9qb well said - an international treasure!
Thank you Linda ❤ You have graced the music world with the most beautiful songs... your beauty always shines thru..even to this day. God bless you. ❤❤❤❤.
I have been listening to her cd she made with Nelson riddle orchestra for years! Love her ❤️ What an amazing artist! She seems so sweet in this one!
Linda is still someone that I listen to even when she isn't singing. Truly brilliant. She looks sooo pretty 😍
I'm not a religious person... but blessings upon you, Ms. Linda Ronstadt. You have a heart of gold.
Linda has always been strong & intelligent. I love her personality & soul.
Love you always❤️
🙏God bless you, Linda🌹🎶 Ronstadt.
Hello how are you doing?
It really warmed my heart to know that two of my favorite people were a couple once: Linda and Jerry Brown. It's so nice to know they are still close friends.

A giant talent and one of the most accomplished musicians of my lifetime. She's done everything.
Wonderful interview with Linda. A rare and remarkable songbird who brought us to so much music and to a better understanding of the Borderlands that are deep in her soul.
What a sweetheart. A bright light unto this earth. She was humble about her beautiful voice. It must have been gifted to her by some divine entity. One of the greatest singers ever.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Linda Ronstadt but after watching this interview I feel she is someone I could be friends with. She has a true sense of humanity and compassion for others. She seems to be very connected to natural world. ❤️
I have LOVED Linda as the most wonderful singer of the last 5 or 6 decades. I hope she realizes how much her living a life to her own personal DRUM has meant to the millions of her fans.
I owe Linda a huge debt for introducing me to a wide variety of music, especially country music.
I simply love her. She's true to her roots and sang her heart out in native languages to her. She's a lovely person. I can't wait to read her book!
Of course she was unbelievably talented as a singer and performer, but I never realized how insightful and intelligent Linda Ronstadt was and still is until I started watching interviews with her on RUclips.
I have always been in awe of her, as an artist, a decent human, and an intellect. A woman who lived her life on her terms, and gave so much!
I never thought I'd see the day. Linda was IT for me. I bought her music in every form, including 8-tracks. I had front-row seats during her Mad Love Tour. I also purchased sheet music, books, magazines...and anything she was in. I adored Linda.. THAT VOICE will live on. ❤🩹

Remarkable lady to be so good with such a long illness. Bright, brave and beautiful. ❤❤❤
Fun interview. Thank you. I've always loved Linda's multifaceted music. She is one of my all time favorite vocalists. I appreciate her input on this difficult issue, that shouldn't (in my opi ion) be that difficult to solve.
I love watching all these modern Linda interviews.
Bravo! Wonderful interview. This should be syndicated. She spoke about very important topics that everyone should hear.
Great interview my favorite singer of all time I wish she could meet a three piece all sister rock band from Mexico called The Warning which is touring the US right now and share with them all that great knowledge of music and history she has I bet they would really appreciate it best wishes to you Linda 🙏
More than the most beautiful woman on the planet with the voice of an angel. She's an amazing human being and humanitarian. No wonder so many of us are still in love with her.
"The trouble with humanity is humans." "Humans are not very nice to each other." More often than not....I must agree!! I adore this woman!!
I’m so sorry that this beautiful soul must witness what has become of the place where she was raised. I am so grateful to her for the beautiful music. 🌺✌️
Linda is my hero, my blue print, my mentor. She always has been and always will be.

I could never compare to her but I aspire to have just a speck her beautiful soul.
Linda is still beautiful in her seventies. It's sad that she can't sing anymore. But her tiny voice is still powerful.
She was my first live concert, with Andrew Gold. Great lady.
She sang it and we listened and we were better for it.
The best voice in the world . Saw her twice in concert ❤
@suzie mills - Jealousy abounds!
She was the best woman vocalist but also is such a charming and delightful lady. I love her personality and sense of humor. She is a fascinating & wonderful person. ❤😊
Thank you to Linda for all of the great music and beautiful things you have given to so many millions of us.
I wish her well. It's a tough one for her.
I have some of her albums. Loved listening because of her voice, the tunes and how they was done on my ears. It was so great to lie back to be immersed; flooded in her songs.
Amazing. At 76 years old, she's still beautiful, inside and out.

This is a wonderful interview! It’s so good to see you, Linda. I’m 66 and your music and my younger years went hand and hand. Thank you for everything. I wish you well! ❤
I love Linda and very much Nancy Montoya! A wonderful interview between two beautiful people!
What a great conversation, thank you so much. Linda is one of my favorite people 😊 how nice to hear more about her life and family history ❤
Always loved playing her Top 40 Hit 'Different Drum' in Seattle. Still have a fresh copy of the 45. Thanks for the music, Linda! And thank YOU Nancy for this insightful moment! John Ross.
I love you Linda and I am glad you are taking about the Sonoran desert. I also live in Arizona and love the desert. Unfortunately they are scrapping it to build too many houses. Makes me sad.
Loved her. Highschool 1971, she was on the radio all the time. ❤️❤️❤️
She still has those beautiful eyes. A brilliant voice and talent.
She was my idol. And she inspired me to sing in a band. So much fun and my guitar teacher was the best. He encouraged me to come to sing and the rest is great memories
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
Speak truth to power Linda..love you always✊
I Love Linda.....such a Lovely Person & one of my inspirations for singing at a young age!!!
Linda was/is a powerhouse of talent and intellect.
Gratefully, she’s left enough work of hers to last a lifetime for the rest of us.
Love this book and Cd. I made my own DVD version with whatever I could find on RUclips to match the CD. Some I had to use ones with photos and one with a montage from a movie using a song. I'm so glad I made myself try to get into the Festival of Books and though was in the back, was able to get in and hear the talk with Linda and Lawrence Downes. I had a Framed Lola Beltran album cover I brought and gave to Mr Downes hoping he could get it to Linda. The cover I acquired from PDQ records where I worked for years. Did not want to throw it away though no vinyl inside. Yay for this interview!
So glad to get to hear this interview. I need to hear these things to not feel so alone just in the world with all its craziness and to have more ideas of how to deal with all these things as life continues to be increasingly overwhelming in so many ways day by day. The simple yet comforting things she's letting us know about are important. Like the socks, and stuff like that. What small things can be done that help. This is a great interview. Thanks to both of you. 🌸🌊
My Dad suffered from Parkinson's, it robs you of your strength and independence.
Linda is facing it with strength and her can do spirit.
Amazing talented singer and humanitarian. I love you Linda. Keep strong and carry on. Kia Kaha from New Zealand.
I have loved her ever since the 1970’s…..will love her forever!
Also I got to see her at Minus One. So great.
Probably the best, and I mean best, pitch-perfect rock singer. And, of course, back then, every college-age male's visionary's girlfriend!
But the expansion into light opera, showed out her versatility. I was blessed to watch Linda performing in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway in NYC. Outstanding.
Love theSonoran desert! Miss it more than I can say! Will read her book!
Always articulate! So nice to hear.
Brilliant person. Linda is amazing for many reasons.
Luv you Linda and am so very grateful for you in this my lifetime.
OMG I LOVE YOU LINDA!! Thank you for acknowledging the people coming through the fence. I wish more Mexican Americans would stick up for the Latino Americanos coming through the fence on THEIR ancestral homelands!
I love this woman. So intelligent and civil.. And she's right about natural migration!
Love Linda Ronstadt than and nowadays ❤
