I was one very fortunate sixteen year old seeing Linda perform in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens! It was the Simple Dreams tour. I was actually fifth row, center, floor! I was about twenty feet from her and of course I had a crush on her!

Yes indeed! It's so easy to fall in love...with Linda. What a great singer, what a great personality. ❤ her and her music forever.

Linda Linda Linda! When I'm listening to music over the internet I am always careful not to click on Linda -because if I do I know that I'm gonna be lost in her music for the next 3 hours. I regret that I only got to see her live in concert once. That chick filled arenas to the rafters for years.

Her voice has a nice tone, power and soul. She sings perfect pitch in live concerts and requires no auto tune in the studio. This is the singing quality of Linda Ronstadt.

Absolutely. No one today can touch her.

以前はハードロック一辺倒だったが、年をとったせいか、このような曲が本当に心にしみる。なぜかノスタルジックな気分になる。そんな方もいるんじゃないかな？

Lord can't give you back your youth. But for a few minutes perhaps hours Linda Ronstadt can.

100 light years ahead of any singer ever.

Linda Maria Ronstadt's contributions say she more than deserves to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame while she is still with us. Members Dolly & Emmylou have been in since 1999 & 2000 respectively. Linda's induction would also complete the Trio again. Get her in while she can enjoy it !

One of the best original singers of all time and I will always listen to her music, she is legend and always will be

Oh, yes! In the early 70's, when I was around 13, my parents and I were visiting my uncle in Southern California. He lived close to Hollywood, and since I was such a music fan, my parents and I would drive around, sight-seeing, since there were so many awesome (to me - I'm sure they couldn't have cared less...LOL!) huge billboards of some of my favorite singers. One time we were actually walking down the street, when a man approached us and asked us if we would like tickets to the Merv Griffin Show. He said it was Merv's first show in California, having just moved it from New York. We gladly accepted the tickets, and I was ecstatic to learn that Linda Ronstadt was going to be one of the guests! The show was being taped that day, and we got to go inside, right then. Linda sang "Blue Bayou" (barefoot, :) ) and sounded amazing.

Goose Whisperer So glad you saw my reply. You obviously blessed your parents' lives as they did yours. Ms. Ronstadt had a rich, loving family life that charted the course of her career. Her musical memoir is drawing me into "her circle of friends" and unearthing artists and performances I didn't even know existed. Last night, I listened to her club performance at My Father's Place in July of 1974 in Roslyn, NY; then 17 and not very cool or musically savvy, I was probably spending an uneventful night up in my room a mere 30 minutes away! Of course, I am sorry that she is now coping with the loss of her voice and the ill-effects of Parkinson's, but as she herself said, she "had a long time at the trough." How blessed we are to have four decades of her musical odyssey at our fingertips! And who knows, we might even meet her on KZread one day, as she uses it to rediscover the voices of HER youth. Keep savoring your memories and keep listening to Linda Ronstadt!

God what a voice.

I've had a guitar crush on Waddy Wachtell almost as long as I've had a crush on Linda. One guitar with no effects and you always know it's him.

Waddy on guitar Linda what a voice.

I wish Linda ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton the great Trio come back. Live young forever.

It’s so easy to fall in love with that VOICE! She’s one great talent, and that voice is huge.❤️

I really hope Linda is well and kickin, I love your music girl.

Watty Wachtel, Whaouu what a guitar player !!!

I bought this album of "it so easy" in 1976 when I was 16 years old, I like her song very much and she is very attractive and beautiful, she is a great singer.

It's so easy....to fall in love with Linda!

One hell of a rocker 💯

ok could sing from a phone book is the best comment ever...wow is all i can say...When she starts singing everyone knows who it is...its Linda...

She's not just an amazing singer , she can make any song her own ! And she's the 1 true pioneer of country pop ! I can't wait for the arguments or raves !

How many of her "Official Music Videos" are LIVE. Who does that ? Pure talent, gone today.

How can you top perfection? Her voice and presence, Waddy Wachtel and his string bending licks, brand new genre of music at that time and a cover of a great artist's song that's better than the original - all perfect. All forms of music were perfected from 1950 to the 1980s. Blues, Soul, R&B, Motown, Rock, Country, Punk, Metal, Rock, Southern Rock, Gospel...they left no stone unturned and nothing else for artists following them to invent. The greatest generation of musicians perfected everything new there was to do in thirty years. Amazing and somewhat sad for the generations of great musicians that followed who could neither be first nor perfect.
