Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice Documentary

At dinner last night, my friend Gwyn recommended I watch CNN's documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice."

If you're under the age of 40 and don't know who she is, watch this documentary. You'll see how many music legends admired her work and why.

Eagles founders Glenn Frey and Don Henley got their start as musicians for Ms. Ronstadt.

Her career covered vast and varied genres: pop, rock, country, Latin and light opera.

And then you'll realize how strong and beautiful her voice was. Due to a degenerative brain condition, Linda retired from singing in 2011.

Ms. Ronstadt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

Here's a video clip of my all-time favorite Linda Ronstadt song, "You're No Good."



At her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a medley of her songs were sung by the biggest legends in contemporary American music: Glenn Frey, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and Carrie Underwood. With longtime guitarist Waddy Wachtel. The last song from the women was also featured in the documentary.
