Linda Ronstadt - Silenced by Parkinsons

None better. The voice of an angel.

Linda Ronstadt's diagnosis ends her career

That's a real shame. Great voice and I had the hots for her back in the day.

She gave some good spin to a couple Zevon tunes, and I liked her early Stone Poneys stuff...oh hell, I liked everything she did.

Yeah, I loved her Poor, Poor Pitiful Me until I heard Warren's. Her duet with Dolly "I Never Will Marry" is my fav.

(unconfirmed. This may be entirely incorrect)

I'd been told Parkinsons and the Dementias are interrelated, and have to do with plaque buildup in the brain preventing neuro-transmission between synaptic gaps.

Supposedly Dementia originates in the front cortex and Parkinsons in the back motor area.

Sad - but on the other hand she had a lot of great years - and made the most of what she could during her music career.

It's a good life lesson on how we don't know what tomorrow may bring or even if we have a tomorrow.

Good for her - we should celebrate her accomplishments while hoping she is able to cope with this dreaded health issue.

My favourite LR tune.....

What a shame. Such a beautiful voice. Not like the affected warbling that seems to be the mark of all female singers of today. Bought her Spanish album after watching her on the muppet show DVD with my kids. Great album.
