Next To Grace Slick, No One Could Throw Her Voice As Well As Linda Ronstadt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           When Grace did it, the voice was strong and defiant.  With Linda Ronstadt, young and pretty, there was something poignant and heartbreaking about it, something no singer since has been able to match.

                            Sure, it is on her early hit, "Different Drum," but, oh, my God, when it is really heard is in her heart-rending rendition of "Long, Long Time."  If anyone else has covered this song, I cannot imagine a better job than that of Linda Ronstadt.

                           Age and Parkinson's have sadly caught up with her, but music creates memories and those memories will forever stay.  Whether the early stuff, or the Gershwin-esque standards she transitioned to on her album, "What's New?," her voice will always be a gold standard for future female singers.

                            Something to aspire to, but I do not think will ever match.

                             You don't believe me?  Here is Linda on "Long, Long Time."

                                   Who can sing like this today?  No one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
