- They're three of the most talented female singers of all time - Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. All superstars in their own right, but they're also great friends, and over the years they've come together to make exquisite music.
But Linda Ronstadt faces a crippling disease that is slowly robbing her of her ability to sing. Undaunted, Linda's facing her illness with tremendous courage, helped by her two dear friends. And, as Steve Pennells discovered, these three women still have one last collaboration to share with their fans.

When you're at the height of your powers, you just see another day to get through, true for all of us. When you're old or disabled, you look back, and wish you'd known how singular and special those moments were. Such is aging.
I went to a Dolly concert at Interlochen MI in the 90s. I knew where she was staying in town, so I left a note at the hotel desk for her letting her know we would be in the front row and it was our 40th anniversary. I asked her to sing "Eagle When She Flies" for my wife. She came on. Walked back and forth. Nodded questioningly to me and I returned the nod with a Thumbs Up. She then stood right there and gave the entire concert to me and my wife. She talked to us, asked if we were having a good time. She dedicated EAGLE" to my wife and me. She sang "Why'd You Come In Here Looking Like That" to me. She sang "He's Alive" at the end. I cried. She blew us a kiss before she left the stage for the last time. It was like having a private concert. My wife was REALLY impressed. Dollie Parton is one classy lady for sure.
Very sweet of you to do that for your wife, and cool that Dolly went along with it🤘
Wow. That's about the most incredible story i ever read in the comments. Very kind of you to share.
I worked at Dollywood in 1996, Dolly is the real deal. Genuine and she came in June to meet every employee and have photos made with each team..She's an amazing loving human being.
@@LS021BR how about you delete yourself Karen
What a heart warming story, just when we thought we couldn't love Dolly anymore !!! Thank you for sharing, God Bless !!!!!
Every song Linda did gave me chills. And then they did the trio, and I had triple chills. Look, this is why everybody has to believe in Jesus because this just cannot end here! We are going to need that trio in heaven!
Broke my heart when she said she can still sing in her mind. God bless her!❤ these women are amazing!❤❤❤
As a singer (from Tucson oddly enough) who has lost a lot of my voice from smoking damage, I feel for Linda so much. I can still sing, but it's not what it was and it kills me to not be able to soar any more, but trot and stumble now. (I was training in opera at one time). Yes, I can hear it in my mind, as Linda said, but I know she is putting on a brave face and she would give her left and right arm to have an hour of her voice back. I feel for her and cry for her loss.
@@kathleenkaufmann2084 I understood this so much also!! I’ve sung at points in my life but also had things like developing allergies after my first child-I completely lost middle C to F, so I sang tenor for about 3 years. I could feel in my vocal cords where my note was, but if I tried adding air they just slammed shut. Torture. Now I have a neurological autoimmune illness that, when bad, mucks with both articulating at the back of my mouth and tongue, and swallowing. And breathing.
My great-grandfather went to London around 1900 to study tonic sol-fa, then came back to start vocal music programs in 6 colleges I know of around the country. One was an Ag college in Roswell NM 😊. His mother & siblings actually supported themselves as a quartet till he started teaching, so I think of them often. Some things do help but I wish I could figure out how to just Relax my larynx so my voice could flow!
I’m so grateful Linda did such a range of music!! At least we do get to keep hearing her. Such a rich voice and she could do anything she wanted with it! My littlest grandson loves her voice, but he loves these tight harmonies even more, which makes me silly-happy!!
I am one of those guys who has had a crush on Linda for half a century.
I hope when Linda finally passes it's not just us old folks who give her praise. I grew up on her music, and I wish younger people today knew how important she was to the industry.
Why wait till she passes.... do it now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they would today, create a tribute, musical tv special, compilation of her talent and life so that she can get a mood boost and see how her fans adore her still ❤❤❤
I'm such a fan of Linda Ronstadt. I wasn't born in this country and I'm an elder millennial - her music transcends boundaries and time.
Finally passes? Like what the H. You can't wait for it to happen?
Give her all the 'flowers' and adoration you can NOW. Appreciate the living wherever they are and the people around you. We share this time and space together in quickly passing eras. Make the most of it.
Different Drum was the first time I heard Linda Ronstadt voice, I knew she was destined for greatness.
Every time I hear Linda Ronstadt speak in an interview, my love and admiration for her grows a bit more. "I can still sing in my mind"... Gave me chills...
same here......love her
She's blunt and honest which I totally appreciate.
God Bless You, Linda. My husband is in his final phase of Parkinson's. It is a cruel disease. He used to be a ballroom dancer. Now he needs 24/7 care. I understand completely what you are going through because I am going through it with him. My husband always loved your music. Rest and have friends & family over--they will get you through this.
Listening about Linda Ronstadt and her declining Parkinson's disease is about the most terrible thing I can imagine for her. May God Bless you Linda.
Ronstadt's repertoire was staggering. Rock, pop, standards, country, mexican, operetta(The Pirates of Penzance), opera(Puccini's La Boheme). Nobody else could match this.
Just to clarify: She specifically sang two specific styles of Mexican music ranchera and primarily mariachi music, not simply “Mexican” music. There is no one “Mexican” style of music - its varied just like it is here. Lots of beautiful Mexican music traditions that deserve their own flowers!
There is no one who can touch her. Streisand is close and has an equally distinctive voice. Houston is up there. Ronstadt is just so gutsy and has such passion for the art of song
And with Nelson Riddle's big band
I’ve loved Linda’s voice since I first heard Different Drum on the radio; I was about 8 or 9, and she was all over the radio. Long, Long Time, When Will I Be Loved-just such great songs. As soon as I was old enough to buy records with my allowance, I was buying her singles. In tenth grade 1981, she was still killing it, the queen of rock ‘n roll. All through high school, hers was the only music I would play in my car-my sister and my friends would just roll their eyes and say, “oh no, it’s LR again???” And I’d say YUP and blast Livin’ in the USA or Mad Love. Just such greatness. Such vocal control and depth in her voice. Even now, in 2023, I want to cry when I listen to her, knowing that these recordings are all we have. I just want more! But I’m so thankful I heard Different Drum that day in the early 70s. It changed my life.
Yes, the Stone Poneys...and then Blue Bayou. OMG. It was mesmerizing. I'll never tire of hearing it.
Dolly is a national treasure. Not only has she shared her amazing singing and song writing with us. Plus her films. She's gave so much financial help for so many. The books that she's gave to children all over the world. Her father couldn't read at all, That inspired her to do that book foundation. There's no room for to list all ways Dolly has helped people.
Linda could GET IT in her 70's hay-day! Even as a young, 5-year-old kid, I could appreciate Linda Ronstadt's voice. I would wear her records out, which pissed off my parents because they had to buy new ones.
I saw Emmylou and Linda at the Ryman during their Western Wall tour. Linda sang Blue Bayou. It brought the house down. I never hear such a roar of applause of the crowd. Blew my socks off.
How terrible Parkinson's has left Linda not to be able to sing with that gorgeous voice any longer. God bless her for handling it so well and for being so humble. She is the greatest.
Hi Stephanie hope you're okay?
I wasn't even born as my parents drove from the eastern US to California. Circa 1962, as they drove through Flagstaff, Arizona they saw a sign in front of a saloon that read, " Appearing tonight, Little Linda Ronstadt!" She was only 15 or 16 at the time! Wow, a distant brush with greatness.
"you just get worse till you die"
That is someone at peace with what is going to happen to them and is riding it to the end.
Emmy Lou is so beautiful.
There will never be another Linda Ronstadt
As one living with adrenomyeloneuropathy (a cousin of Parkinson's disease) and mapping my own steady decline, I'd love to spend an afternoon with Linda Ronstadt; just to offer human and spiritual support. Believe me, talking with someone who understands first hand does make a difference. Time with Dolly (would be a hoot herself) or Emmylou would also be a pleasure. I know it will not come to be, but I can still live it my mind and soul. Y'all be a blessing.
Linda has always mesmerised me with those gorgeous eyes, I am now 71 and have listened to her ever since I can remember, such a shame to see her afflicted with this terrible disease ,god bless u Linda for all those memories you have given me.
Hi Terry hope you're okay?
Blue Bayou will always be one of my absolute favourites. I,ll be 78 in Jan 2024. Well done Linda, you are timeless and priceless.
You get worst till you die. Classic line. Bravery in the face adversity.
Linda, my mother had Parkinson's also, but my sister and I lost her a week before her birthday in March of 2020. I have been a fan of yours for a while since I heard "Blue Bayou," thank you. I just wish that this horrible disease was cured so that we don't lose anymore really good people.
I just got goosebumps listening to Linda. This trio of women are a gift to us.
Linda overated
"Don't think I'm a dumb country girl 'cause I dress like one!" Now THAT'S Dollly! God bless her forever.
Linda, I was in love with you 50 years ago. You helped me through some bad times. I hope you get through this, as well as you got me through my tough times. Thinking of you!
America got talent!
but these three ladies are exceptional. I remember my mum shut me up, when I said I love Linda's *body* *shape* . She said I was too young to be saying things like that.
Blue bayou is perfect! I had just moved to Louisiana when I first heard it. I connected with it.
They are all inspiring women and singers... It's just so sad to see people like Linda and Celine Dion not being able to do what they were born to do anymore... This teaches us a lot, especially that we must do what we like before it is too late, life is unpredictable.
Radical acceptance, wow! I'm a singer songwriter and cannot imagine losing ability to sing and play. I cried listening to Linda on dealing with Parkinsons . Not fair.
Also Randy Travis.
I Have loved Linda I h Ronstadt since I was 17 years old. I am 68 now & my passion for her is unabated. 💖
I remember in 1971 listing to her on my wood box AM radio. Thank you . I was in 5th grade.
I was in 1st. and also a wood AM.
When I die, and at the gate of heaven, I want those angels greeting me with their beautiful voices. My goodness.
Hi Dave, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Allyson from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Their voices resonate like a chorus of angels!
Linda was my first crush and first concert in 1978. Thank you Linda for so much pleasure.
I grew up in the 70’s listening to bands like Styx bad company Skynyrd BTO Heart and the list goes on. But absolutely loved Linda Ronstadt still do breaks my heart to think about it . Oh and out of all the music I listened to Linda is the only singer that my grandpa ever agreed with me on he was in his 60’s at the time. May God bless her .
Linda, you may be very critical of your own voice. We often are our own worst enemies. But the truth is…we, your fans, think your voice is fantastic! Your music has given us -and keeps on giving us - countless happy hours. So when you feel critical again think of your fans who love every note you sang. Timeless music!
Thanks for the interview, all of you!
A fan forever
Linda Ronstadt was not only an exquisite singer, she also is an extremely strong and resilient person.
Strong, resilient, awesome, lovely. We don't have enough positive adjectives to properly describe this beautiful soul.
I love Linda except her politics were pretty extreme for me.
And so smart and so funny. "Common sense."
What realization did you learn from that?
I had the pleasure of seeing Linda in person & she was always my go to gal!! How I love her & her voice. WoW. It does not get any better then Linda Ronstadt!!!!!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎹🎼🎵🎹🎶💓🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹She is still one beautiful Woman!!! Always💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Dolly is so awesome Dolly probably the most talented lady in country music. And Linda best voice. Linda has some pipes. I love Dolly she's so down to earth and always seemed so happy and I think that's my people love her so much.
I'm sad for Linda not just because she don't sing anymore but because it's her and how the disease is affecting her. She says she didn't like the way she sang Blue bayou and right when she says that it starts playing Blue bayou and it was just perfect.
When Linda Ronstadt sings "Blue Bayou " she takes you to a place where your staring and feeling the sunrise she sings about. Linda is God's gift to all.
Exactly! I always thought that too 🥰
Hi Linda hope you're okay?
Used to admire your talent, now I admire your courage, strength, and way of facing adversity. You are, forever, amazing, Linda!
Amen
Feeling suddenly better about my own health challenges, what a great hero she is. Saving this vid for the darker moments.
I love all three of them. I was just thinking, I would love to see Dolly one day without the wigs and makeup and nails. She is so naturally beautiful. Although I love her persona too. I've been in love with Dolly my whole life. Linda's voice is like a rocket red glare. And when I was in the seminary I used to listen to Emmylou singing Making Believe and I Live On A Big Blue Ball. And Trio. Emmlylou has such a gorgeous stirring quality to her voice. All three of them . . . my goodness. God has blessed us mightily with these three.
I started listening to Linda Ronstadt at 14 in 1976 on my 8 track player. I loved her then & I love her now. Her voice is phenomenal, & her attitude towards her illness gives me the strength to deal with my own health issues. God Bless you, Linda.
I admired Linda for her everything but most of all for her humanity. Everything I hear about her are nothing but gratitude and love.
Linda is my idol. My opinion is she’s one of the greatest voices ever. But I’m biased because I think she actually has the greatest voice in the world.
I always played music in our house. Imagine my surprise when one of my daughter's teachers contacted me to tell me how impressed he was that my daughter was singing some of Linda's songs.
My heart ❤️ so goes out to Linda ! Not being able to sing probably was insanely hard to grasp your mind around. It’s like not being able to breathe. She has been one of the greatest voices of all time .
Wow, Emmylou has aged beautifully
Jessica Ramirez , unfair she is
And I am so JEALOUS!!!
Isn’t she!
Gorgeous white hair...
The interview and seeing Linda and what she has dealt with today brings tears to my eyes. Her voice of an angel always brings me joy and her resiliency gives me inspiration.Dolly and Emmylou were damn lucky they got to have that honor to associate themselves to perform with someone amazingly awesome. ❤ that trio…Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda
Had the joy of seeing Linda when she toured Australia in 1979… not a female voice that even comes close..now or forever ❤️
Keep singing in your mind , Linda Ronstadt x
So lovely. So sad. Trio was one of the greatest collaboration albums ever recorded. Thanks all three of you for everything.
Was never a country fan but joined another couple w/my hubby and saw Dolly in concert. What a treat! I wanted to take her home with me she's so sweet and kind... And fun! Have been a fan ever since.
Always loved Linda, sad to hear that about her. I'll agree getting old sucks!
Harris looks beautiful.
Hearing their three voices is like walking into heaven.
I have been in love with Linda Ronstadt for at least 45 years....she is still such a sweetheart!!!!!!!!
Hi Donny hope you're okay?
Life has a way of beating us up pretty bad ,but these lady’s are still with us, and I’m thanking God for everyday he gives us... God has a plan for each of us , and I’m sticking with him till the end 🙏
I love all 3 of these women. But I'm devastated over Linda. Prayers for her.
Hi Christine hope you're okay?
Dolly's last comments on this video is why I love Dolly so much. I love the trio, but I have a special place in my heart for Dolly. She's just the best humanity has to offer.
Talent, beauty and great humanity. What a combo!
@@hank1519 yes had an aunt dolly long time gone but had that same smile let u know that everything is ok anytime
@@gregoryoakes7476 Sounds like she was a lovely person.
@@hank1519 if you are surrounded by love and beauty it hopefully makes u that way if not u have to find it yourself
@@gregoryoakes7476 Very true.
I am very grateful to have lived at the same time as these women. -Hawaii
My Mum introduced me to Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton in my childhood and I discovered Emmy Lou Harris years later. I have distinct memories of singing along to Linda Ronstadts Prisoner in Disguise album, Dollys Jolene, Coat of Many Colours, 9 to 5, and the soundtrack to Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I appreciate these songs in adulthood in a way I could not understand them as a child, having said that, Coat of Many Colours is one I understood then and made a huge impression. It underlined the principles taught to me that time, thoughtfulness, care and love are more precious than anything that can ever be bought.
Hi Shelley hope you're okay?
I love how real Linda Rondstadt is. It doesn’t get any more genuine than Linda. She is the definition of a musician’s musician. Sending lots of love to Linda.
Linda You are so strong, and a inspiration.
I agree with Dolly about Linda's voice it's simply amazing, flawless and mesmerizing. I never tire of listening to her.
Hi Bobbi hope you're okay?
So beautiful. Brings tears.
Hi Diane hope you're okay?
I was born in '67. My mama was a barmaid in West coast honky-tonks in the 1970's; this was the music I grew up listening to. Watching this, all the memories that came flooding back - I cried through most of it.
Linda was an early boyhood star crush.
Each has a remarkable voice, but together the most beautiful chorus.
Thank you Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda!
I've always imagined that when your time comes to pass away, You'll be standing in this golden elevator that takes you to Heaven. And the music playing in the elevator is from these three supremely talented women.
I love that comment. 😊
Yeh!
Soooo, the stairway is too much work ?
@@johnhulsker9123
Not for you because it's going down
Three beautiful singers and no auto tune.
Auto-tune is of the devil.
Indeed. Perfect pitch and utterly tuned to each other.
Seriously - I love harmony and theirs is stunningly perfect
Three angels from Heaven couldn't sing better than these three beautiful women
All three of these LADIES are amazing! Dolly is probably the most underrated of the three, because she spent so many years in the shadow of Porter. But, when she broke out on her own, the light shined brighter than could have been imagined. Emmylou was someone that I fell in love with the first time I heard her voice. Willie Nelson summed it up best, "There are two kinds of people, those that love Emmylou and those that have never heard of her". As for Linda, in her day, she could sing the phone book and people would stand there amazed. All three of them are so humble and so supportive of each other, not a jealous between them. I was blessed to see Emmylou and Linda together shortly before her parkinsons became public and I will treasure that memory forever. Thank God we have those recordings to remind us of what artistry really is!!!
Linda Ronstadt was my best friend growing up. She took me where I needed to go to bring me up. I loved Linda singing with Aaron Neville. Everyone,yes, everyone loved her. She was the greatest because she could rip your heart out with her emotions singing her heart out. When I heard Linda told the world that she couldn’t sing anymore it broke me inside and I cried forever. Linda explained herself with strength no one could endure. I Was broken. But Linda was the strongest woman in the world and my tears kept coming.She took it so courageously and my world went to pieces. You will always be remembered for your music and the greatest. You will always be presses between the pages of my heart. Love you always.
Hi Pat hope you're okay?
How could you not love these 3? For their music, spirit and beauty. Emmy Lou is correct: Linda had the best voice of my generation. Dolly is correct: Linda has one of the all time great voices.
WOW!!! THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND!!! I HAVE LOVED EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY... BUT, HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY ALL SANG TOGETHER??? WOW, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY??? I'M 60 YEARS OLD NOW, WHERE IN THE HELL WAS I, THIS ABSOLUTELY BLOWS MY MIND, I LOVE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC!!! MY PASSION IS GOING TO CONCERTS ANYWHERE, ALL OF MY LIFE, I HAVE SEEN LINDA RONSTADT IN LAS CRUSES, NM 1977-78, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN THE OTHER TWO... BUT, I HAVE SEEN BRUCE SPRINGSTEIN 5 TIMES IN 5 DIFFERENT CITIES WITH MY BEST FRIEND GIF...
Hi Sandi hope you're okay?
These three unforgettable women who touched the hearts of many.😢😭❤
If there's a sweeter sounding trio in THE WORLD, I've never heard it! Truly magnificent!
"Silver Threads and Golden Needles" is right in second place. :-)
I watched the CNN documentary 2 days ago, cried through that, watched this, I'm crying again. I grew up in the 70s/80s/90s with Linda Ronstadt (and Nelson Riddle and Trio), I'm so sad for her - but she's had a great career, thankful for what she gave us!
Hi Dennis, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Allyson from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Love you Linda🌹🌹🌹so beutiful. And always your self ❤️ Best to you from Katrin in Iceland...
I worked At Nashville airport in the 80’s and saw Dolly. She was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
Blue bayou is one of the best vocal performances ever! Oh Linda!
@Andrew Ongais That is a matter of opinion, in their own way they both are very good, kudos to both of them
@Andrew Ongais I take your point, and while Roy still has a following here in Oz, though small, I agree with you
I appreciate Linda not just for her singing voice but that she has a strong sense of who she is and is one of the few who didn't get a nose job! She's as real as it gets.
God bless Linda had no idea Lost my Mother to Parkinsons Shes wonderful !
all 3 sing like Angels...
All My Prayers to Linda. I am still listening 12/18/2019
Me too Aug 2020.
*The way their voices harmonize on “After The Gold Rush” is so beautiful.*
Indeed, that was a truly haunting and beautiful performance.
They were doing an interview & at the end, they decided to do an impromptu gospel acapella.
I was speechless. Their harmonizing was impeccable. Seriously, I had never heard nor have I ever heard three more angelic voices lifted up in song. I'm certain The Almighty was smiling when they finished.
Youth passes us all by. Where does time go? Three incredible Ladies. Songs instantly transport us back to another time and place.
The Ole Man still blasts Linda on the stereo. We had the Best Music Ever!!!
I have loved Linda since I heard her on the Radio.....that statred my life long appreciation of her Phenomenal talent.
I have a love for the older country music do to my mother and Aunts .The fact that Dolly, Emmielou, and Linda all became life long friends and came together to absolutely bowl you over with they're harmony is Spine Tingling.
What a final gift from Dolly ,Emmielou and Linda to all the world ,people will go on discovering long after they are gone .
Thank you is all I can think to say my love and prayers go out to Linda and all of us who love her❣
Hi Brenda hope you're okay?
Apparently Willie Nelson once said “There are two types of people in the world: those who love Linda Ronstadt and those who don’t know she exists.”
I've loved her since high school in the 70's because "Love Has No Pride"! I was 14 when I fell in love! I'm now 65, I've moved on with my life, but I'll always love 💘 Bob! Let's go to Tennessee Whiskey town!!! Don't drink but the music gets me high! Thank you to Chris Stapleton! 😁
Actually, he said that about Emmylou, but it rings true about Linda as well.
@@patlatorres7000 If he said that about Emmylou, we know he had Linda in his mind.
I love her Mexican album “canciones de mi Padre”. Went on to become the best selling Traditional folk Mexican album in the United States of all time.
Excellent album and never fails to lift my spirits if I'm down
I remember when Johnny Carson shook hands with every band member and spoke to them in Spanish.
What a wonderful woman. Heartfelt thanks Linda.
In college I had a poster of Linda right over my bed. Every guy I knew wanted her. She has one of the richest voices in music ever. Sad that she has a disease that keeps her from doing what she loves.
This emphasizes the importance of doing things when you’re young so you have that sense of accomplishment as you get older when you can’t do it.🎵
I remember when you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing Linda. She was magnificent and still is. Dolly what a talented driven beautiful woman. Ah but Emmy Lou, She absolutely melts my heart and always has. She brought me through a rough time in my life, riding around by myself on the dirt roads of georgia listening to Emmy sing, love them all to pieces. what wonderfully talented singers they all are and together, wow, unbelievable.
When I was twelve years old , I listened to this song of Neil Young's over and over and over. I was pretty mellow as a teenager and loved this song. These three beauties , in voice, spirit and loveliness , are the everlasting greatness in harmony for eternity. Linda Ronstadt , one of the best voices of all time , along with her music, molded me in to a lover of music for ever. As I am a very old old man now, with a lifelong haunting illness of mental depression , anxiety and love lost , it's great to hear these three women in these now dated videos.
Three angels with some of the best harmony in history! Love them forever! ❤❤❤
Please dear Linda, if you can't sing anymore, never forget that you were one of the most accomplished singers that ever lived. I've known (and loved) you since "Living In The USA" and to this day I'm getting to know new facets of you. What a gift from God!
I hope you are as grateful for your talent as I am!
I'm sure someday you will sing with the angels in heaven to the joy of God ♡
I had the great honor of interviewing Linda a number of years ago, and she couldn't have been more open and friendly and genuinely nice..in no way reflective of how incredibly successful or famous she had become. The only thing she got wrong was how critical she was of her own records..they have & will continue to stand the test of time. Her protestations aside, one of the greatest female vocalists...ever...
I've always loved Linda Ronstadt. So gorgeous with a set of pipes like nobody else . When music was good music.
Linda best female vocalist ever
Most guys of my generation who loved music also crushed on Linda Ronstadt, including me. I had all her albums and played them in the car when I drove long rips.
There is still good music out there....it is WE who have changed, gotten older, our tastes developed....so we are choosier and, in a way, more "sophisticated"....but when Gaga began, we wrote her off...but no one writes her off, today. She has proven time and again, using her as the example, that she can sing anything she wants to...from The Sound of Music to pop to standards. The music today might not be what we are used to but there are good artists everywhere. Remember, people my age, 50ish, wrote off Dolly Parton when we were young, but then we began to understand her and her style and now...dude....I love her and the made country music a part of my life. Not a huge part, but a part I appreciate.
Her voice is just completely unreal. Nothing compares to it!
I love listening to these 3 wonderful ladies singing together. They have such beautiful harmonies. My prayers are with Linda and her family.
Born to sing. Truth. Born to sing thank you.
Beautiful voices!. Beautiful ladies!
I cried hearing Linda no longer can sing. These ladies were there through my youth and I'm so grateful!
I cried also!
The three of them were such great singers on their own. Together they are phenomenal. It's too bad Linda is slowly drifting away. I fell in love with her when she sang with the Stone Poneys.
I so love their voices together; the combination is truly special. I don't think I'd ever stopped to listen to anything from Dolly or Emmylou until I heard them sing with Linda, whose music has been in my life every day (really) for as long as I can remember. Love them all now. Even though I have a ton of Linda's music, I sure miss her presence - she's so charming, knowledgeable, and funny - and I'm always looking for updates on her health. The most beautiful things in the world are often fragile and need to be protected and that certainly holds true for Linda. She's contstantly in my thoughts and prayers
She didn't weep, but I sat here weeping for her. What bravery, strength, and grace under extreme pressure. She has given me much to think about.
I saw Linda in Philadelphia and she was unforgettable
Best response ever “ what gets you through it?” Common sense 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi Lorita hope you're okay?
