Linda Ronstadt Documentary

[55Redneck]

CNN has been running the 2019 documentary about her called The Sound of my Voice, anyone else watch this? I thought it was an outstanding show and showed what a MONSTER talent she was. I'm a bit biased though because I've said for many years she was the best female singer of our time, she could sing the phone book and make it sound good. I also think, in her time she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. If you haven't seen it take 2 hours of your time and give it a watch, you'll thank me later.

P.S. I did find the ending a bit sad because it hits home for me, but for different reasons than her.

Watched it and enjoyed it very much.

Then I watched a documentary on the Doobie Brothers which was even longer and equally interesting, connecting many well-known artists over several decades, from the original group to the Michael McDonald version . . . and back again. Makes me wish Fleetwood Mac could reform with some original members while Peter Green is still alive!

It's great. She's great. Saw it a few months ago in a theater, watching it right now on the tube.

I believe she did 3 albums with Nelson Riddle, I seem to recall having them all on vinyl. The odd thing about my copy of What's New is side 1 and 2 both have the same label, I wrote on it in pencil so I knew which side was which.

Didn't Linda put out an album comprised of música norteña about 10-15 (more?) years ago?

Anyway, I've yet to see the Linda docufilm but i have read enough reviews, here and elsewhere, to have developed an interest and desire to see it. I'll grab a copy and give it a watch, maybe even tonight.

Watched it last night. Good stuff!
The CNN decade docs that Tom Hanks is involved in is pretty spectacular too!

Have most of her albums. Feel bad for her current health situation. Watched & loved it. Seeing Linda with Dolly and Emmylou was sweet, but when she sang opera and mariachi, it blows a mind sideways. She was a force.
