I drove my limo to the 70s. I picked up Barbra, Karen, Ann Wilson, Aretha, and Linda. We left and drove past the 80s. Didn't need to stop. We're gonna go by Glady's house and pick her up, too. No room for Whitney and Mariah, as we pass the 90s. They asked if I would stop by Celine's. I guess we can make room, maybe next time. [The Chauffeur.]

The first time I heard this version was on NPR. I was blown away by the powerful, soulful delivery. I called NPR for hours trying thru to the DJ, he told me Ronstadt actually has an album full of these type of Sinatra-era songs. I knew Linda conquered so many fields in music, but never looked into her accomplishments till I came across this song. Now after purchasing several of her pre-rock albums it's aghastly shocking no one talks about this woman's achievements in music.

I love her rendition of this song the woman is a vocal genius she can sing anything if she sang mary had a little lamb that would also be amazing a lot of people might disagree with me but I put her above Streisand and don't get me wrong I love Barbra but I think Linda is the better singer Barbra is wonderful but predictable

Simply sublime. The combination of an exquisite voice and beautiful persona coupled with the fabulous arrangement that compliments but doesn't overwhelm her voice and you have music that rises to a spiritual plain. Put it simply, my parents raised me on big bands and big band singers--and the great American songbook. But--nobody inerprets the song book like Linda. And no modern singer comes even close (Michael B--you're a good but distant second). If my parents were alive they would say this--we love Sinatra, we love Ella et al--but--Miss Linda Ronstadt is the greatest interpreter of the American songbook ever, backed by Nelson Riddle exquisite arrangments. I have heard nothing better in my lifetime. Period. end of Discussion. God bless, you, Linda, for sharing your talents with us.

I still have a crush on Linda. She's still a cutie after all these years. Age and weight doesn't necessarily change that. Sure she was hot in her younger years, but we all get older. Linda is a sweet, wonderful person, and even though SHE says she no longer has the voice to do it, I'm sure she could still sing with the best of them.

Two greatest female singers in my lifetime are Karren Carpenter, whose incredible vevelty voice never waivered or crackled--like the finest silky smoothe Burgundy wine. Nobody enunciated or phrased like Karen. But Linda is such a close second and her vocal range with all types of music--rock, country, American Standards and pop songs--is nothing short of amazing. All female vocalists take a back seat to those two--in my lifetime. These are voices that are of the angels and heaven sent for all of us to enjoy and savor for all time. RIP Karen. Hope you are in as good a health as possible and are happy Linda, wherever you are!

When women could really sing, didn't need mixing machines to make them sound better like the talentless ones today. Real, natural talent ones today cannot hold a candle to that lip synch their way through their synthesized performances. Perfect voice she has, one of the greats.
