      I've been watching and listening to quite a few myself lately. I'm rather saddened about what happened to her health-wise but we can still have the memories thanks to modern technology. I'll just add a Willie Nelson song line:
      I'll always love you in my own peculiar way 😢

      Always look forward to these "things were better in the past" BS. Linda was wonderful and one of the handful of the greatest American singers of all time. But, there are plenty of fantastic singers nowadays. You just have to get rid of your Sony walkman and do a bit of exploring. You would be surprised at what you will find even here on TH-cam.

    The first time I heard her voice was on my car radio in downtown Houston late one night as she sang "Different Drum". I was so stunned I immediately turned the wrong way down a one-way street. The person next to me asked, "You know we're going the wrong way on a one-way street, right?" In that moment I knew I would always have a crush on that voice on the radio. I'll turn 77 this year and the feeling is as strong as ever.

      Yes. Wholesome and sexy at one and the same time. That was Linda. She would, I guess, have been every guys dream girlfriend but could also sing "I'll be your baby tonight' like the sexiestsong on the planet. She was so pretty and sweet she could outweigh the contradictions.Mama Cass once said it was difficult for a girl singer. She could either be sweet and domestic, which meant her days as a girl singer were numbered or she could be a red hot mama. I think Cass opted for the latter. Linda> I am not so sure.

      EXACTLY. Saw her in 1980 at the Capital Center with my girlfriend, now my wife of 40!! years... and I love every note of every song she sings. I will tell you that she opened up that concert with Mad Love and literally pinned every one of us to the back of our seats. I turned to wifey and said, OMG, if she keeps that up, she'll have no voice left at end. AND DANG, if her voice LITERALLY GOT STRONGER over that entire concert! Not kidding, no exaggeration, I will never, ever forget that. There are a bunch of super talented female voices - Celine, Whitney, even Gaga... but really truly, Linda is hands down the queen. Long live the queen!!

    Linda, demonstrating in full technicolor and stereophonic sound, why her talent and her career at that time were characterized most often as "Meteoric." She was like a red-hot blazing comet of artistic ability sailing across the heavens. And you cannot touch a comet. No other female came close in the 1970s. Women are normally the ones who could develop crushes on actors and performers. For men it is much rarer. Linda had that ultra-rare "certain something" that would bring men to their knees slobbering, and then leave the building in love.
