I respect your opinion. But I love, Ms. Linda Ronstadt better. I can't explain why, but it just sooth and touches my heart a little more. Like I can feel her singing, her voices and what's she's trying to tell us through this song's and her performing.

I was mesmerized then, and, more than 40 years later, I still am. Thank you Linda, for some of the best musical memories....

Tan versátil como Meryll Streep en la actuación es Linda Ronstadt para el canto... Es hasta difícil enumerar todo lo que ha grabado: Opereta, Broadway, Standards, Rancheras de lo que me acuerdo 🙃. Empezó en el Country Rock y su primera banda de acompañamiento fueron los futuros Eagles. Eso al inicio de la década del 70'... Aquí cantando Soul (el saxo parece David Sanborn), composición de Smokey Robinson, o sea que es mega canción Soul... También lo hizo aquí.... Parece experta en este estilo de canto... Es de no creer por que tiene todos los 'geites' ananais o detallitos, que solo alguien que se dedica al Género puede transmitir a través del micrófono... Botemos la toalla no más... Linda Ronstadt no tiene explicación posible ,💃🎶🎶🎶🎶♾️

Only one other female singer could do someone else's song and have that song become their own. That other singer?: Patsy Cline. Case in point: "Faded Love" was a hit written and performed by Bob Wills. Once Patsy did her version, "Faded Love" became, and is today, considered a Patsy Cline song. For Linda, case in point, "Ooo Baby Baby" and "Blue Bayou". Even though these three songs were done by other artists, Patsy's and Linda's versions are so strong, they have become Patsy's and Linda's songs. Thank you Bob Wills, Smoky Robinson, and Roy Orbison for writing such beautiful songs and thank you Patsy and Linda for singing them.
