Her vintage album of old standards, "What's New" (recorded with bandleader/arranger Nelson Riddle), is outstanding.


She did two more with him--"Lush Life" and "For Sentimental Reasons".

Yes. Also excellent. Pour a little sipping scotch and kick back...

Think she has Parkinson’s or some other neuro condition that affects her mobility.

Also, if you watch the two part Eagles documentary she is mentioned fondly as giving them their big break as her backup band. She pushed them a bunch to find their sound and promoted them to record companies.

Someone mentioned Long, Long Time which I love. Not mentioned yet is Love Has No Pride and It Doesn't Matter Anymore...which were also great tracks.

Linda also did some excellent work with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton as part of the trio. Their harmonies were amazing.

She started noticing the difference in her voice in 2000 and hasn't sung publicly since 2009.

Did you not read my whole post? I prefaced it with stating how she's been dealing with Parkinson's disease for years.

She did write the Spanish version of the Plow King song, though.
<——“Plow King”

“Poor Poor Pitiful Me” & “Hasten Down the Wind” were Warren Zevon compositions.

She helped him get on the map in the industry.
