Everyone always talks about Linda's extraordinary singing abilities. Rarely mentioned is how intelligent she is. Always very thoughtful, curious and well informed. She was always very helpful to other women singers as she was a pioneer in the male dominated field.

Her intelligence is reflected in all the risks she took during her career, singing and mastering all those different genres - that is intellectual integrity and honesty. Linda was always her own person, seemingly unfazed by her stardom and amazing voice.

I'm glad she devoted her life to what she was passionate about so she wouldn't have to worry about the future. So very proud how she knew what to do each time she started a new interest in various music field such as pop songs from the 40 and singing Mexican Music to please herself and her father and many others. Her talent is so versatile it really made you take notice of her talent.

My mom, may she rest in peace, was such a fan of Linda Ronstadt. ❤

I'm weeping.....I just wish I could invade her personal space enough to give her a HUGE hug and thank her for a lifetime of incredible music and inspiration and example. I just love this woman and I pray for her every day. Love you, Linda...and my voice teachers over the years always had me sing your songs because I can sing in your range, thanks to you! I'm 60 now and I know that in my life there will NEVER be another singer that has influenced me as much, or that I appreciate as much. LoveLoveLove, Liz

I disagree with Linda her Christmas album is wonderful

How could anyone not appreciate and care for this lovely human? I saw Linda sing in a smallish venue in Boston in the 70's. She was opening for Jackson Browne. They were taking turns opening for one another on the tour! It remains the best concert I have ever seen. Decades later I do not live too far from her childhood's Tuscon area. Her humane way and strong wish for us as people to do the right thing is her music now, to our ears...

So humbling watching this. Today's generation would see an old lady while the rest of us see a legendary voice and gorgeous lady of the 70's & 80's. Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who haven't heard of her"

If there was a finer woman voice of the rock era , I have yet to hear it ! Linda's range is quite astonishing . To go from the high powered singing voice to the lowest bass in a matter of seconds with the most natural ease possible ,is in my book unprecedented.... This wonderful lady and her sensational Bands over the decades have lit up a huge part of my musical enjoyment . We rarely see talent of the calibre of Linda Ronstadt these days unfortunately .

I have been a fan of Linda since "Different Drum"

Wonderful interview with Linda. A rare and remarkable songbird who brought us to so much music and to a better understanding of the Borderlands that are deep in her soul.

Thank you Linda ❤ You have graced the music world with the most beautiful songs... your beauty always shines thru..even to this day. God bless you. ❤❤❤❤.

Remarkable lady to be so good with such a long illness. Bright, brave and beautiful. ❤❤❤

A giant talent and one of the most accomplished musicians of my lifetime. She's done everything.

I never thought I'd see the day. Linda was IT for me. I bought her music in every form, including 8-tracks. I had front-row seats during her Mad Love Tour. I also purchased sheet music, books, magazines...and anything she was in. I adored Linda.. THAT VOICE will live on. ❤‍🩹

I just discovered a song sung by Ms. Linda from 1998. Leland Sklar (highly lauded session bassist) posted the Waddy Wachtel song called Damage yesterday. It was my first time hearing it. It amazes me how powerful her voice still was at that time. At the same time it saddened me knowing what was on its way for her in the coming few years from then. As the saying goes; be thankful it all happened.

LINDA RONSTADT IS ONE OF THE TOP VOICES IN THE LAST 100 YRS. I REMEMBER FIRST TIME HEARING HER VOICE WAS IN THE 60S. I HAVE SEEN HER MULTIPLE TIMES THRU HER CAREER. THE BEST CONCERT WAS WHEN SHE DID THE SPANISH CONCERTS. EXCELLENT. I STILL LISTEN TO HER WEEKLY. I WILL NEVER STOP PRAISING HER VOCAL TALENT. LINDA YOU ARE STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES

I owe Linda a huge debt for introducing me to a wide variety of music, especially country music.

I love listening to her talk & her stories as much as I loved listening to her singing. She's a bright light.❤

I’ve always been a huge fan of Linda Ronstadt but after watching this interview I feel she is someone I could be friends with. She has a true sense of humanity and compassion for others. She seems to be very connected to natural world. ❤️

My God. Not enough words to express the thanks and gratitude for the many, many moments of inspiration, goosebumps, lumps in throat, emotion you imparted to us over the years with your remarkable voice. I am so very happy to see you doing so well. You still look beautiful! Thank you, Linda, for everything you've given to us.

I simply love her. She's true to her roots and sang her heart out in native languages to her. She's a lovely person. I can't wait to read her book!

I was born and raised near Tucson and Linda was always my favorite singer. She has an amazing voice and family heritage. I love listening to her stories of her growing up years and her family. I have been a fan for 50 years!

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

I bought the book on Audible. I really loved her music in the 70s and 80s and still do. I have her cd in my car. I'm a nurse who treats patients with Parkinson's Disease. She has helped raise awareness along with Michael J Fox. It is a devastating neurological disease. My doctor is involved in research and hopefully continues to find new treatments to bring a better quality of life for this population.

I have LOVED Linda as the most wonderful singer of the last 5 or 6 decades. I hope she realizes how much her living a life to her own personal DRUM has meant to the millions of her fans.

I have always been in awe of her, as an artist, a decent human, and an intellect. A woman who lived her life on her terms, and gave so much!

She sang it and we listened and we were better for it.

Bravo! Wonderful interview. This should be syndicated. She spoke about very important topics that everyone should hear.

Linda is still beautiful in her seventies. It's sad that she can't sing anymore. But her tiny voice is still powerful.

Great interview my favorite singer of all time I wish she could meet a three piece all sister rock band from Mexico called The Warning which is touring the US right now and share with them all that great knowledge of music and history she has I bet they would really appreciate it best wishes to you Linda 🙏

I’m so sorry that this beautiful soul must witness what has become of the place where she was raised. I am so grateful to her for the beautiful music. 🌺✌️

My goodness she has lost a lot of weight. Beyond that superficial comment what an enjoyable interview of an artist I have massive respect and liking for; both her musical output and her character. She is strength to carry on and is so positive. A legend and a delight of a human.

Fun interview. Thank you. I've always loved Linda's multifaceted music. She is one of my all time favorite vocalists. I appreciate her input on this difficult issue, that shouldn't (in my opi ion) be that difficult to solve.

I'm not a religious person... but blessings upon you, Ms. Linda Ronstadt. You have a heart of gold.

One of the greatest voices of all time. Wish only the best for you! Viva Linda! ❤🎶

She is my favorite female singer of all time.

Linda is my hero, my blue print, my mentor. She always has been and always will be. When I feel, in certain moments, that I am judged for being wholesome, the good girl instead of a "bad bitch", or too nice, I think of Linda. She stood out in the rock world as a mega talented, deep, intelligent, and wholesome (but not prudish), beautiful, woman. I could never compare to her but I aspire to have just a speck her beautiful soul.

What a sweetheart. A bright light unto this earth. She was humble about her beautiful voice. It must have been gifted to her by some divine entity. One of the greatest singers ever.

I love this woman and I have for almost 50 years.❤

Brilliant person. Linda is amazing for many reasons.

I just love Linda, her music, her heart, her intelligence, her compassion, She may have been cruelly robbed of her singing voice, but, she has not lost her intelligent conversational speaking voice.❤

I love watching all these modern Linda interviews.

I wish her well. It's a tough one for her. I have some of her albums. Loved listening because of her voice, the tunes and how they was done on my ears. It was so great to lie back to be immersed; flooded in her songs.

Linda was/is a powerhouse of talent and intellect.

I never made it though my younger life without Linda , thank you

4:45 4:47 I have wanted to comment so many times but everyone else is saying what I want to say, how solid Linda is in spite of changes beyond what she could control. She cannot sing because of illness but no one forgets that gorgeous voice. Others might complain but not Linda. she can hear her singing in dreams. she has the rare ability to keep moving forward, using what is left. Linda and I are both artists, and the same age. Would I be thta brave if I lost my eyes? I would try, because I am so inspired by her strength.

Legend. Musical icon. Decent human.

Linda conveys as much sincerity in her words as she managed to convey in her songs. Emotions that only those who give themselves to what they believe in can transmit. The truth of someone who undresses in front of an audience that looks at a single person and seems not to believe what they see, but leaves happy with what they saw.

Love Linda Ronstadt than and nowadays ❤

Thank you Nancy (miss working with you,) and thank you Linda for your grace, talent and life force. You are an inspiration.

Love Linda. 40+ yr fan. Glad she's still with us

I love Linda and very much Nancy Montoya! A wonderful interview between two beautiful people!

The Saguaro cactus, birds and other animals there are so beautiful and magical. Such intelligence as well as being gifted that she has. We should respect nature, and others! My first introduction to great songwriters was through her, and love reading the stories of her childhood, riding ponies in the desert. We must not build fencing in wild lands. We must not murder anyone over a border that is not even real, and not even ours.

I love you Linda and I am glad you are taking about the Sonoran desert. I also live in Arizona and love the desert. Unfortunately they are scrapping it to build too many houses. Makes me sad.

my heart is crying. Lots of love to you Linda from England.

Always loved playing her Top 40 Hit 'Different Drum' in Seattle. Still have a fresh copy of the 45. Thanks for the music, Linda! And thank YOU Nancy for this insightful moment! John Ross.

OMG I LOVE YOU LINDA!! Thank you for acknowledging the people coming through the fence. I wish more Mexican Americans would stick up for the Latino Americanos coming through the fence on THEIR ancestral homelands!

She is a gift to our generation; in Spanish or English the talent was immense. Her wisdom shows through her every word...........Thank you Linda Ronnstadt!!!

But the expansion into light opera, showed out her versatility. I was blessed to watch Linda performing in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway in NYC. Outstanding.

Linda has been my lifelong favorite singer. I played her music so, so many times, and I wanted to be this beautiful, talented, woman. I had the good fortune of seeing her live, once. What a great singer. God Bless, Linda. You are loved❤️

Few recording artists know the inside and outs of the music industry of the 1970's-1980's like Linda does. Aside from being one of the best female singers of all time, she discovered and worked with more exceptional musicians than most. She was not a song writer. She didn't play an instrument. Yet, umpteen musicians wanted to work with her because when she covered a great song, she made it her own. She saw talent where talent really existed. Think of the late great Warren Zevon for example. The songs Linda covered over the years are clear indicators of her great taste and awareness of musicians and their music. Her cover of The Rolling Stones and LIttle Feat songs for example, are some of the best covers of those tracks. She never had to rely on her looks, although she could have, just her ability to be a hit maker and have that phenomenal voice. She is very well loved in the music industry.

Linda not only plays the guitar she DID write a song w/her Father, Gilbert Ronstadt & Kenny Edwards! The song "Lo Siento Mi Vida" on her "Hasten Down the Wind" album! The song is beautiful & reaches your innermost soul! Still one of my very favorites on my fav album of hers! Saw her first @ Greek Theater in Hollyweird in August 1970! Received her "Hand Sown... Home Grown" album for Christmas that year! In June 1972 took that same album cover to Knott's Berry Farm to see her again! Richie, her drummer @ the time took to her for me & she signed it! Don't think I drove home that night, must've floated, in Heaven! Been a fan, maybe a full-blown "air conditioner" since then! My email even hails my LOVE for her! She's a Musical Chameleon & THE BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER, HANDS DOWN! ❤❤❤ ✌️🤘

Love this book and Cd. I made my own DVD version with whatever I could find on KZread to match the CD. Some I had to use ones with photos and one with a montage from a movie using a song. I'm so glad I made myself try to get into the Festival of Books and though was in the back, was able to get in and hear the talk with Linda and Lawrence Downes. I had a Framed Lola Beltran album cover I brought and gave to Mr Downes hoping he could get it to Linda. The cover I acquired from PDQ records where I worked for years. Did not want to throw it away though no vinyl inside. Yay for this interview!

adore Linda Ronstadt. bright and sweet. listened first to a song called A different drum with the stone Poneys and enjoyed listening to all of her albums. love this interview. speaks honestly and caringly and stands up for injustices. I am sending love and wishing for her to have less sorrow and more peace. grateful for her beautiful music as well.
