He does not yet speak English but listen to him sing "Fire to the rain". I would love that voice to sing "The moon is a harsh mistress" by Linda.
      Gabriel was invited to audition for AGT. He will shine on stage June 1. I keep dropping hints for him to cover Linda's exceptional voice. Hope you listen.✌️💖🌹

      The good thing that has come from this is that she now uses her voice to speak with &, meaning by that, her simple & to-the-point remark made @ the Kennedy Center. The rest is how she has used "Common Sense" to structure her time that is left. But, yes, my heart does the human thing & I ache right along with you @ the loss of the heroic singing.

    Linda Ronstadt turned 74 this very day! Congratulations ms. Ronstadt! I've been listening to your beautiful voice and music for more than 50 years now (i'm 59 myself). I'm so sorry that Parkinson's disease has taken it's toll on your live en forced you to stop singing. I wish you strength and all the best from a fan from the Netherlands and I'm pretty sure also on behalf of all your fans all over the world. Fortunately I can still enjoy all your songs and performances on RUclips. It reminds me how great and beautiful personality you are. Yours truly.

There are so many things that I miss from the past, and listening to new music from her is one of them.

      I can think of female voices that have (had) more nuance -- Joni Mitchell, Dionne Warwick -- but Ronstadt's voice comes very close to those, and for certain kinds of songs -- like this one -- her voice is perfectly suited. What a shame that she now has Parkinson's disease. Of course, those other great ladies have lost their youthful voices too.

I think I saw her sing that on the Howard Cosell show, of all things. Fortunately, she has a large catalog of diverse work (I even like the Nelson Riddle stuff) and I plan on listening to most of it and picking out some new personal favorites. Believe me, I appreciate her work immensely now.

Her folksy blues singing hooked me, then her Country & Western style hooked me again with her 'Trio' albums, then later it was singing Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra. Bringing up the back, harmonizing with the great Aaron Neville. And her Spanish albums are just as fresh. Only the greatest female singer ever to be recorded on wax.*
