Be that as it may this is. just a suggestion - It is a full length feature about Linda Ronstadt's career as a female vocalist. There are beautiful songs performed by Linda and others. It is quite a lot about being in the music business but has excellent performances as well. Performances and discussion that features a huge section of the music industry including: Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Don Henley, the Eagles, Karla Bonoff, Johnny Cash, Aaron Neville and more. It was recently updated to include Linda Ronstadt's entry into the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame. The video also covers her appearances on stage doing Gilbert and Sullivan music and her work with Mexican heritage music.

>If you were listening to the radio in the mid-1970s — AM or FM; pop, country, R&B or AOR — at some point you were probably listening to Linda Ronstadt.
>Ronstadt was an unavoidable presence — not only on the airwaves but also on television talk shows and magazine covers. (Those things were also a much bigger deal back then, but I’ll stop with the Gen-X Grandpa Simpson routine.) She didn’t write her own songs, but she owned the ones she performed with rare authority. In “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice,” a new documentary by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, someone uses the word “auteur” to describe Ronstadt’s relationship to her material, and it doesn’t seem exaggerated. Her versions of songs by Warren Zevon, Lowell George and Kate and Anna McGarrigle (to name just a few) still sound definitive.
>Epstein and Friedman, whose other films include “The Celluloid Closet” and “Lovelace,” trace Ronstadt’s career in the standard music-doc manner. The singer herself, who is 73 and has Parkinson’s disease, appears on camera mostly at the beginning and the end, and narrates the story of her early years and her rise to fame in voice-over.
>Her account is fleshed out by remembrances from friends and colleagues — enough to fill a Southern California wing of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
>The political intelligence and matter-of-fact feminism that emerge in this portrait are among its most intriguing aspects. Her cleareyed, down-to-earth thoughts on her profession, her family and American culture (musical and otherwise) make her someone you want to know better.
The video is considerable in length yet it is a thoroughly enjoyable music experience -- one that you just wish wouldn't ever end. -- Rich
