What if Linda had joined the Eagles?
There are a few of their songs that, in my imagination, I can hear her voice - and it's great.
Desperado of course, no imagination needed. Lyin’ Eyes New Kid in Town Peaceful Easy Feeling especially Tequila Sunrise But others, Already Gone, Life in the Fast Lane – not so much. And you can’t really improve on One of These Nights

Sorry but I disagree, Glenn owns the first two songs. DP

I must confess. I read the title and thought, "Linda McCartney? Wasn't her mic always off?" Haha

Dixie,
I guess you heard the track where Linda Mc had her vocals isolated? Sounded like a cat being tortured. |

Her voice would fit right in, but I wonder if her looks and warm personality would've overshadowed the rest of the group - at least to the world press - and caused even more jealously and discord.
But, I wouldn't have thought that Joe Walsh would've fit in as well as he did. Can't imagine the Eagles without him now.

"Geese farts on a muggy day" is Leo Kottke's infamous metaphor for the sound of his baritone singing voice, and mine

The Desperado album is one of my top 10 all time albums from start to finish. Although Linda's cover version is ok, it would diminish the entire album.

Linda could make anything sound great- and she did. She did other genres even though she was told not to. She is a treasure. Such a shame that Parkinson's took away her singing voice, at least professionally. Her grace about it is impressive. It's interesting that the Eagles formed their nucleus as Linda's back up band.

Opera isn't my thing, but you can't help but respect the skill and talent that goes into it. She gets rolling at about 2:00 here.
