Thanks, Bob. She's a hero of mine. Few performers from our era can present a biography like Linda's. She was the girlfriend of California Governor Jerry Brown way back when he was governor the first time.

As a child of the 70's, I loved her "Rock and Roll".
Fast forward many years, I re-discovered music and rediscovered Linda, singing under the influence of Nelson Riddle.
I felt like I fell in love all over again.
I mean, as a child, my first vision of her was.....

She had such a beautiful and powerful voice.....Listening to her Shattered Track still gives me goose bumps.

She had one of the all time great voices... and was easy on the eyes as well.  As a young man, like most, lust was a factor in buying her albums.
That "Hasten Down the Wind" cover is still a thing of beauty.  Desperadoes was the song that did it for me, even though Shattered is my favorite now.

Here's an interesting interview with Linda post Parkenson's.

It's good seeing her so happy, but sitting for an hour without moving is a bit sad.

  Everybody makes one mistake. Her voice will live forever.

Have a great day!

Well I don't approve of our current leader, but I don't bring it here.

 I did not bring anything here. Why cannot I say I do not like Brown. Never commented on his politics correct.  Do not like him as a person.   No politics remember ??
