      I agree. She was special. And few voices today can honor her. Kelly Clarkson is one. Gabriel Henrique of Brazil, is another. Honestly, he can do justice to her. 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.✌️💖🌹

By all accounts she had and has still a wonderful supportive family who didn’t push her into show business. Now in her senior years she seems sadly alone when she could have been surrounded with children and grand children to carry forward her love and talent as only family can.

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.*

    51 years ago (1970) I was an infantryman in the Vietnam War. We were sent to a Village that was victimized by the enemy. The people were tortured, some raped, including children. Trying to help, we missed the enemy by minutes, they escaped. I stumbled across a little girl, raped & murdered.
    The scene was horrific, I was trying to untie her hands to make her look more human. As I bent over her my tears were dropping on her face, running down her cheeks. Even today when I hear "Tracks Of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson or Linda Ronstadt, I think about that little girl.

    Linda had a voice that was both powerful and smooth. One of the very best around.

      What is this was crap. She is still beautiful and I know it. She is as pure as life has let her be. I keep saying this but listen close. She was a friend and I stand up for my friends. Do not jump to ill formed conclusions.
