    I was the video recording engineer for this concert at the Atlanta Civic Center in 1977. After the show, Linda and her band knocked on the door (!) of my little tape truck and asked if they could watch the tape, so they and I sat together and watched the show. Linda is so unassuming and such a beautiful person. I remember talking to Don Grolnick, the piano player, who played the show with a broken hand. It was a great show, and a great memory for me, but I never thought this recording would live on 40+ years later.

Was Linda's mother and he was blown away, He has since passed away. Personally saw her in early 1980's in concert. What a special moment.

    In my view, no one could touch Linda in her day, and no one can now. Of course there are other great female vocalists who can belt out a power ballad (Christina, Whitney, Mariah etc.) but Linda had something special, something the others lack: Restraint. She could raise the power level when melody demanded, but could convey emotion quietly when volume wasn't called for. Her voice was always controlled, but beautiful to listen to. She was, and always will be, one of the greats. And in her humbleness and honesty, a star.

Her brother used to be on the city council, don't know if he still is, I left Tucson 4 years ago. Linda is altruistic, donating to Casa De Los Ninos, a home for children in Tucson who need help. She also donated to restore the Rialto in DT Tucson. Linda still rocks even if she most unfortunately can't sing anymore. :(

    Growing up I knew her for her mariachi singing, I had no idea she was an American artist. Listening to all her work now I conclude that she is criminally underated and somewhat forgotten :/

      No way was Linda Ronstadt ever underrated. She was one of the top singing artists of her day. Nor is she at all forgotten. And, by the way, she's still alive, although she no longer performs.

      AGREED! Was so inspired by this, I decided to channel all the misery, pain, and suffering in my life to doing a sax cover of this dedicated to Ms. Ronstadt. Feel free to DISLIKE if you don't like it.

    This was my mom’s song!!! She would sing it in every Karaoke session. Naturally - I learned it thoroughly from watching her and she would even let me sing some lines at karaoke too. When she passed away - I thought I’d be able to sing it without any problems at all… boy I was soo wrong… after the first few lines, my tears won’t stop falling… I couldn’t even make it to the chorus and had to excuse myself from everyone in the karaoke session we were having coz I was already crying and sobbing…. I remembered the heartbreak trying to sing this song again after my mom died… BUT - it’s been been more than a decade now and i’m able to sing it again - tears still fall from time to time and I can still feel my heart ache longing for my mom - but then I always just try and think “ah will she like it? I hope she does”. I always dedicate it to her memory every time I sing it. I love you and I miss you mom!!! 💜🕊️
