Love your comment. I'm with you on everything.

Lowell George was elevated to cult status by his own genius not Linda Ronstadt

Mel Bee. And Jackson has been promoting Lowell and Warren in his concerts for many many years from the time he was around 26. Isn't that amazing? The only person I know of that would do the same for Jackson Browne is Gregg Allman. Basically, on Gregg's deathbed , he asked Jackson to perform with him " Adam's Song " in honor of his brother Duane. That was the fourth Jackson Browne song that Gregg had recorded during his lifetime.

Realizes he is a person 1st

Linda was indeed the best.

Yeah, Linda's great but there were many like Joan Armatrading, Bonnie Bramlett, Marianne Faithfull, Janis Joplin, Carloe King, Melanie, Joni Mitchell, Nico, Laura Nyro, Bonnie Raitt, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Carly Simon, and Grace Slick, etc. I'm sure I left a few out.

Steelpedal Xx yesssss

Skeeter NYC Carly Simon? Nico? R you kidding?- those girls were limited pretentious bores. Not in Ronstadt's league musically. You must not have been there. Grace, Joni .. perhaps

Steelpedal Xx yes I love Linda 💜❤

Jeanne Vollmer We miss her gorgeous voice

The singers are the two female leads of the indie pop band Lucius. Quirky for sure, but great voices.

Jill Okihiro yessssss he still so fine Damn 😍

Agreed.

Jill Okihiro No argument here loved Jackson since Doctor My Eyes.. In early 70s.. 💙💜💚💛❤

I don't think anyone here doesn't know this. Linda loved Lowell and their connection was this song.

That's right. Lowell sang on a couple tracks and even co-wrote one of the songs on JBs Running on Empty record.

Aaron Davis yup

Jackson has collaborated with many fine musicians. He’s especially close to those who were paying their dues while he was coming up. Linda, for example. I remember listening to her after a break-up; vowed never to do that again, she was so genuine in singing what I felt.

Just finished watching the PBS broadcast of the AARP Movie Awards for Grownups (Yup, that's what they call them!) and saw Ms. Ronstadt accept the award for Best Movie Documentary from Maria Muldaur. Rightly so, the audience gave her a standing ovation with rousing applause that went on and on and on. Her speech was so poignant. She said most members of the rock and roll generation didn't think they'd make it to 73, she mentioned Vietnam, drug overdoses and AIDS. She said it was a privilege to make it to the point where one can complain about old age. I read where she said this would probably be the last major public event she could attend as it is now just too painful to travel. Guess one should never say never, but I said a private good-bye and thank you to Ms. Ronstadt for every note she ever sang for us to enjoy and to use to help our hearts thrive and survive. When the show was over, I turned to KZfaq to remember and revel in a little Ronstadt magic and found this. More than any award, having friends like this-loyal, loving, humble and generous-is the greatest prize she could ever earn. My favorite version of this song was the one she did during a benefit for Lowell George's family soon after his passing. What goes around, comes around. Godspeed Linda Maria Ronstadt.

check em out, they're the best.

She has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a form of Parkinson's, it doesn't respond to standard Parkinson's treatment. Her last concert was in 2012. This was a benefit for the disease. She is amazing.

@@cindyschneider4728 Actually her last concert was in 2009

@@rixtrixs Yep, you are correct. Sorry about that, she was invited to sing on a tribute album to her good friend Jackson Browne in 2012 and turned it down, she couldn't at that point. If I am not mistaken (again!) her last professional singing was "All I know" with Jimmy Webb on his 2010 released album.

@@cindyschneider4728 Yes you are correct about her last recording. In any case we lost the greatest voice in my lifetime

@@rixtrixs Absolutely, she might still beg to differ, but on that I would have to disagree with her!
