apparently due to Parkinson's.

Sad, I liked her from the time she was with the Stone Ponies:

"Different Drum"

Solo:

"Long, Long Time"

With the Nelson Riddle Orchestra:

"Someone To Watch Over Me"

This makes me sad, she is one of the best female voices of all time. I was thinking about her recently and wondered why I hadn't heard anything about her lately. I thought she may have permanantly retired.

Saw this earlier. Prayers sent

quote:

"Different Drum"

"Long, Long Time"

"Someone To Watch Over Me"
You picked 3 of my faves of hers

Her standards albums are probably her best work. The '70s hits that made her famous are mostly unremarkable, and her attempts at rockers are awful. I heard her version of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" first, and hated the song until I heard Warren Zevon's original. And as for her covers of Elvis Costello, let's not even go there...

Her version of Around Midnight is sublime.
A true legend-Henley and Frey were in her band.

She was such a fox back in the day.

Linda's cover of Dolly Parton's epic ballard
crushes Whitney Houston's version by miles.
