1. She had such a beautiful voice.

Saw her in concert in mid-80's, her voice just soared. Love her music from back then.

[red dog 1]

2. I always thought she had a great voice too

I put her up there with Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell

[Danascot]

10. Linda Ronstadt hooked me on a lifelong love of female vocalists

Other greats of the time in my opinion were Dusty Springfield, Judith Durham of The Seekers and while I was too cool to like her at the time, Karen Carpenter had a gorgeous voice.

3. Blue Bayou brings tears to my eyes and chills to my spine

I love all her songs. Linda Ronstadt is my favorite female vocalist EVER.

4. Willin'

Prettiest stoner song ever, Lowell George was gone too soon.

Saw Little Feat open for Traffic in mid 70's. Brilliant show start to finish from both bands.

5. My favorite was "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me"

Is she okay? I know she has multiple sclerosis.

[red dog 1]

7. She has Parkinson's Disease, leaving her unable to sing due to loss of muscular control

(I don't think she ever had Multiple Sclerosis)

[meadowlark5]

9. Oh, I was mistaken

I knew it was something that affected her voice

[Raven123]

31. I heard an interview in which she stated she noticed vocal changes well before her diagnosis.

A fascinating, but sad story.

[irisblue]

37. Someone to lay down beside me.is lovely

[The Polack MSgt]

6. I was never a Linda Fan back in the 70s

But a guy in my last squadron LOVED Linda Ronstadt - But only in Spanish.

He convinced me that she was never as good in English as she was when she sang the old Mexican songs. She sounds fantastic on this track

[MuseRider]

13. Isn't that wonderful?

I have always loved her voice from the first time I heard it with the Stone Ponys but the CD's she put out in spanish were the best of all.

Have always loved her. Saw her in Minneapolis when I lived there many years ago. She wore a little Cub Scout uniform.

Such a tragedy to lose her song....

[Bayard]

15. Her music with Trio was wonderful too

This one came out when I was living in the Sierra's in CA...... Its personal.

[Duppers]

16. That beautifully describes, evokes melancholy and

Pain. What voices!

[Duppers]

17. Blue Bayou! Hands down.

LISTEN to Alisan make the song hers too...She blew me away...
"The Voice 2016 Blind Audition - Alisan Porter: "Blue Bayou"

"You're No Good" comes in 2nd for me. Fits one passion relationship I had so dang well.

[Bayard]

22. Trivia Question:

Who wrote, "Different Drum?"

[MuseRider]

25. Had to look it up, won't spoil

but I wanted to say that I am not surprised by that. I had no idea!

[underpants]

26. I know

It appeared on a TV for about 5 seconds but apparently was known by L.A. musicians.

[3catwoman3]

24. Blue Bayou.

Those last soaring notes at the very end give me shivers of delight.

[Ohiogal]

27. I can't pick just one

She has been one of my favorite female vocalists forever .... What a huge, clear, true voice ....

Saw her at Kent State when I was a student there in the mid 70s oh my, fantastic. So tragic that she can no longer song.

[Sneederbunk]

28. Faithless Love.

[WePurrsevere]

29. Not a favorite song but my favorite album of her's was...

'What's New'. I'd always really liked a lot of her songs, and would often sing along, but I liked this one so much I juggled the money to buy the cassette when it came out.

30. One of the greatest female vocalists of all time paired with Nelson Riddle for a few albums

I like all the songs on your pick list, but I first heard the old classic Someone to Watch Over Me sung by Linda Ronstadt and it is fabulous.
