- Singer Linda Ronstadt has always done the unexpected. And now, the woman who admits that she can't cook has put out a memoir that is focused, in part, on traditional Sonoran recipes from her childhood. She talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about her book, "Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands."

Nobody could sing like Linda Ronstadt. The last notes of Blue Bayou still gives me chills whenever I hear it. Her voice was always so clear.
Me too. A forever favourite. 💜
Clear... and sooooo powerful!
VERY clear.
In UK 🇬🇧 we preferred Roy Orbisons version.
🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
@@steffanhoffmann Yall prolly beat off to James Bond instead of Farrah as well.
I’m so glad she’s still with us, she may not be able to sing, but she still has wit & a sense of humor!
It's really a dry - and wry - wit. One thing I've come to appreciate in watching these interviews with her, late in life, is just how intelligent and thoughtful she has been all these years.
@@markw4206 yes, very well said. I agree!
She's a national treasure even now, full of wisdom, stories and insights.
That was very beautiful to read and true
100% agree with you. :)
I grew up on Linda Ronstadt's music. Such a beautiful voice. So sad how disease ends up robbing people.
It has robbed her of song but still reveals her beauty & soul!!
I know, but happy that her sense of humor still seems to be in tact. That made me smile in spite of what is happening to her at a relatively young age by today's lifespans, which does make me sad.
@@maryannevitale2515g-g😢😢😢
@dancingdelilah4801~~I grew up listening to her as well~~No one comes close to her vocal abilities~~She'll always be my #1 Idol~~Over the years I've heard so much music because I think I was born with music on the brain~~I listen to a lot but most music sucks today~~Many moons ago I would never miss any award show~~I knew everyone~~I don't watch anymore cause I really don't know anyone and hate the music~~My Idols now are Kelly Clarkson and Pink~~My #1 of all time singers is of course, Linda~~God Bless her and what she is going through~~I pray she will never suffer~~💖💖💖
Beautiful insightful woman I also grew up listening to. She's so beautiful and dignified in the face of her illness.
40 some years ago, her beautiful, clear and pure voice accompanied me during those difficult years of trying to adjust my new life in America. I was just learning the language then. I’m grateful for her.
Beautiful! I love this! ❤🎉
nobody is looking up her roller skating shorts these days
Heartbreaking! Voice like Butta! Prayers for her!🙏🙏🤷♀️
@@mikeodonnell6799 if you remember that album cover as I do , the same can be said for us ! But what a singer she was. Still love her music !
Without question, one of the most beautiful, powerful voices of my generation. And the fact that she has remained so positive and kept her grace and sense of humor in the face of such adversity makes me love her even more. She is a brilliant, remarkable woman!
Her strength is shown by granting this interview.
Her voice was always so sweet and clear. When she did The Pirates of Penzance and the end song for Secret Garden were so beautiful.
I remember sitting next to Linda in court in 1966 we were both getting our Capital record contracts approved because we were too young and needed the court to protect us
She was shy beautiful and innocent
I will always remember her smile
And many times seeing her recording with the Stone pony’s
Our producer Nick Venet would call her his Little Angel
Love you always Linda
What band were you in?
Let's all face it: Aging sucks! I have lost 99% of my closest relatives--including my mom over the past 18-years. It's really gotten lonely without them. The holidays are not the same anymore; however, I am still here trying to make the best of a dystopian future in America that none of us saw coming a decade ago. God bless you, Linda. I've always loved your music even as a child of the late 60s-1970s.
Amen
I feel the same. You brought me a little reassurance that I'm not the only lost soul. I wish you peace
I've had no family since the year 1991. The ones remaining after that were estranged. Yeshua is my constant Friend family and all who do the will of the Father. God bless you.
Looks to be a dim future indeed. I'm travelling while I can and loving what I can. I saw Linda probably 6 or 7 times over the years. No one better!
My situation exactly, most of my family is gone and the future looks very bleak indeed....thankful to feel I'm not alone in my thoughts...God bless you and Linda too 💜
Linda Ronstadt is a national treasure. She entertained us and gave of herself for so many years. Thank you for doing this update on her. We wish her the best.
She may have lost her singing voice, but she sure has a sense of humor!!!!
She has been a favorite of mine since Stone Pony's!! Love her! and thank you Ms Linda for your all of your music talent!
Linda, you were once the greatest singer on this planet. Your fans who love you will always keep your music alive and remember, you’re unforgettable! ❤
It is sad to see she cannot sing like she used to. But at the same time, through her eyes, we see beauty. We see passion. She still has that sparkle. And nobody can take those away from her.
Not true, her voice lives on as do our memories. To be be beside her and share these days as she has shared hers with us - one helluva lady
@@thecaptaincrayfish3873 That's not what I said though. Yes, her voice lives on. What I said was that she cannot sing like she used to and that is sad.
If I had to guess, I’d say she could still probably sing at a very high level by our standards even now. It seems she is just such a perfectionist that unless she can do it at what she believes to be a perfect level, she’d just rather not do it at all. I understand that, but I think we’d all love to hear her voice again, no matter what state it’s in.
Linda took a whole generation to an incredible journey with her music. Thank you very much!
She did, indeed. I learned about folk music, American standards, Gilbert & Sullivan, opera, Mexican ranchero music and more. And she could rock with the best of them, too.
Thank You for the story. My generation is aging and losing the connection. Linda is ours and we are blessed to have her even today. God bless her.
Tortilla making is an art. You must always practice to get an improved product. My mom who was ashamed of her Mexican heritage never made Mexican food. So at 67 I’m learning. The smell and taste of corn tortillas soothes my soul and calms my anxiety.
It’s never late to learn our beautiful culture paisana 🇲🇽💕🙏 welcome!
Why?
Thats wonderful...
Your roots are unbreakable .....we all always go back to our roots.
She was the total babe and had the world's best voice. All of us guys her age in the 70's were head over heals for her. Such a woman.
My secret is out 🤗
All all of us gals wanted to be like her!
One of the things I admire is when artists can cross over to other genres. She succeeded in this multiple times. And as an author. Many talents. She was a soundtrack to our lives.
Her talent, personality and music is amazing and wonderful. Thank you for your career Linda. You brought enjoyment and joy to so many of us. Beautiful music.
One of the best female singers in history. Prayers for you sweet
Linda.
The best
Thank you Linda for your music. You have no idea what your music means to our family. When my Mom passed away about 2 weeks prior. She gave my oldest brother and I your Canciones de Mi Padre cassettes. She told me these are the same songs my father loved. I could not listen to your tape for about a year because all I would do was cry. My children ages 1 & 5 thought everyone was supposed to cry when listening to Canciones de Mi Padre. Anyways I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is the most beloved music of my life. We will keep you in prayer. If you have a fan club address please share. 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Bless her. She is an American icon. She is my joy and fun filled memories of youth. Spent my high school, college and soon after years with her music. Breaks my heart that I never got to see her perform live but made up for it with hours and hours and hours shared with her music playing backgammon, chess, cooking, BBQs, parties, in the art studio, wooing the ladies and just plain old getting high and listening to Linda. She will always be cherished.
"Like....the cat peed on the rug, real issues" Exactly 💯. Thank you Ms Ronstadt for all the beautiful songs.
Her Spanish language albums are masterpieces. Flawless Spanish. Flawless singing. Bravissima!
Yes! ‘Canciones de mi Padre’ & ‘Mas Canciones’ are Linda Rondstadts ✨legacy✨
She speak in Spanish?
@@steelstreet3765 Por supuesto.
@@steelstreet3765 yes she's Mexican
@@applejellypucci I want to see some Spanish interviews of her.
Linda Ronstadt is the GOAT. Her vocals touch you way down to your soul. No one now or then can sing like her. Book purchased. Linda, your awesome!
Sending love right back did you attend any concert?
One of the best and my favorite female vocalist, by far!
Her voice was one of a kind, and she's in the hearts of so very many......from the beginning.
Linda has been my girlfriend since I was a little boy and saw her sing "When Will I Be Loved" on a TV commercial. She doesn't know she's my girlfriend, of course! But always a place in my heart.
Same!
I remember being a kid and utterly transfixed by her voice, beauty and grace. Still beautiful as ever 💕
My heart is breaking watching this.
Like Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston, Linda Ronstadt was blessed with an amazing set of pipes!!! So very thankful that they all blessed us with their incredible, God-given talent. They are to contemporary music what Beethoven and Mozart were to their time. They all had pure, natural talent without their voices being manipulated by the technology being used currently in today's music industry. Linda Ronstadt has always been one of my favorite female singers. I remember loving her voice when she was first starting out with the Stone Poneys in the '60s.
And Ann Wilson, Grace Slick too
@Tina Turner
Such a wonderful talent. I lived many years in Tucson and she is a class act!
Just happy we can enjoy her beautiful voice!
Why do most people forget Bach the most musically gifted composer of all.
Make a point to watch the wonderful documentary the reference in this piece. I have loved Linda since the 70s...there has not been another voice like hers...but even I didn't know ALL of the amazing things she did, rules she broke and successes she had. There is a clip of her, in the 70s, speaking about male domination in the music world..as always, she was ahead of her time! A true American treasure.
There was a time growing into a man that I truly believed I was in love with Linda Ronstadt. And to this day, many decades later, I still hold that torch with so many others.
Thank you for sharing that - so sweet
I'm fortunate to have grown up with all the greatest music. Linda Ronstadt appeared magical to me! Her music was a soundtrack for many events I experienced
☮️♥️👋
She still has her beautiful sense of humor 💞
Thank you Linda Ronstadt for years of music. And for letting us into this very difficult phase of life.
Most sing what they can. Ronstadt sang what she wanted. Clear, flexible, divine pipes. A free authentic spirit that put her and that voice in a very rarified universe.
Ronstadt wore her fame so lightly. How unique a musical superhero she is. Her pipes were always clear, powerful and warm - embracing the tune. Challenged herself and promoted her friends. An offbeat and original creature - still.
So well said 👍🏻
Linda's beautiful attitude is just as amazing as her singing voice.💖
My BF and I used to listen to her music before I lost him, and it breaks my heart again to see her this way now. Thank you for what you gave me.
Same here before I lost my GF, the love of my life. Her song 'Someone to Lay Down beside me' (written by the beautiful Karla Bonoff)' brings back so many memories.
The absolutely divine Linda..possibly the purest vocalist ever. God, what a talent. 💚
One of the greats of all times. Her voice is pure bliss.
It must be quite difficult for someone with such an amazing voice to lose it, but she seems to have a great attitude.
Linda had some divine pipes - especially Live. Clear, natural power, flexible, gorgeous tone and a remarkable warmth. A songwriter's champion always with an original unadorned vibe. Love her still. The new book is a great trip.
I've always enjoyed Linda's work, and my impression that while she was a perfectionist with her music, she wasn't a self-centered artist who lived for the attention; she genuinely cares about other people and sang for the joy of it rather than the "look at me" factor.
Well said. She sincerely care about people. We we’re not just fans of hers. We we’re part of her life, family and music . She’s not like the Hollywood actor’s or singers who want fame and popularity and ruin their life’s with drugs, sex, alcohol addiction. They are not good role model.
@Dwight Fry she’s obviously blind. She’s been listening to the democratic media lies since she came into the United States. She doesn’t know the truth. Thank God I opened my mind to the truth. I grew up in the sixties having this mind set , that democrats were for the poor and republicans were for the rich. I was ignorant.
I don’t know wether to feel sad for her situation, or happy for her gift that she shared with millions of people in the day. Both I guess. There’s a sadness inside that so many are fading away, or have already. The rock and roll of our youth is something I’ll cherish until the end.
Aww, bless her heart! Loved her singing!
👍
It’s sad Linda can’t sing anymore but I cherish her old songs and am happy she is doing alright! She’s an idol of mine!
Such incredible range and style from rock and roll to country with Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly Parton to the jazz sound of Nelson Riddle I have her two vol. album "Round Midnight" of standards she sang and recorded with Nelson Riddle and listen to it often but nothing replaces her iconic Blue Bayou
She’s still so beautiful! So thankful to have grown up with her music!
Heartbreaking to say the least! An incredible talent loved by so many, including me!
So uplifting to read all these beautiful, personal comments about this woman who made herself and us happy doing what she was born to do. Regret not getting myself to venues that were literally a stone's- throw away to see her live, but I have great hope that I'll have front-row seats in Paradise when she takes her glorified voice on the road again. I most want to hear her sing "Lo Siento Mi Vida" with her beloved father.
Linda has admitted having abortions, I hope she is granted forgiveness. 😅
If you were sincere you wouldn't have posted this idiotic comment. Check your own need for forgiveness. Zealotry is no virtue.
@@deadandburied7626I pray for Ms. Ronstadt with a sincere heart. She is also an admitted atheist. I trust Christ will be merciful, and that He knows all the good and generous things Ms. Ronstadt has done for others and continues to do. As much as she identifies with her Mexican heritage, she has consistently rejected the practice of Catholicism associated with many people of Mexican descent. In her musical memoir, she wrote disparagingly of her early childhood educational experiences in Catholic school. Ms. Ronstadt is a woman of high intellect who came of age during the sexual, cultural, and political upheaval of the 60's and 70's; her world view very much reflects that milieu. She has great interest and respect for the traditions of ordinary people, be they from the Sonoran desert, the mountains of Appalachia, the bayous of Louisiana or the countryside of Ireland. However, she has enormous contempt for those she deems as oppressors, racists, misogynists, etcetera. Some of the comments she has made in interviews or on other occasions have saddened me. For example, she stated that singing with family helped to bridge their political divide, but since she can no longer sing, she only wants to see Democrats. I'd like to think she was joking...I hope she was.
Ms. Ronstadt's other character traits: honesty, humor, humility, faithfulness to friends, work ethic, lover of beauty, collaborative spirit, generosity and stoicism in the face of enormous physical hardship are so admirable to me. Ironically, her voice and vast and varied catalog of music has been an instrument of grace in my life and deepened my appreciation of God's creation. The Christmas season will soon be upon us; I so look forward to hearing her sing "Silent Night" and "Ave Maria"-a duet with her beloved friend, Aaron Neville on his long-ago Christmas special. As a fellow human being, I pray that this Advent Ms. Ronstadt will receive Christ into her heart. As a fan, I just thank her from the bottom of my heart for all the joy and comfort her music has given me for more than 50 years!
I've always loved that one especially too. I learned it some forty years ago and still can sing it from memory...
@@denverdubois5835 So good to have beautiful songs stored in our memory to recall anytime, anywhere.
I grew up listening to Linda and she is such an inspiration and a living legend! Much respect to her.
Man she’s great. ❤
No one can sing like Linda, what a voice!
Linda is an American treasure! She could sing ANYTHING! None of the singers today could hold a candle to her. Not one.
While I agree with your sentiment we do have singers today who do hold a candle; Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
As the light fades, the torch is passed.
@@b.snow-fotomkr6132 It’s insulting to put Carrie Underwood in the same class as Linda Ronstadt. She is not nor will ever be at the level of Ms. Ronstadt. Kelly Clarkson is a close second though.
@@shocksemler8145 I agree, that's a huge insult.
@@b.snow-fotomkr6132 Big difference between singing and shouting, which Ms. Ronstadt admits doing early in her career.
I've been a fan of hers for as long as she's been making records. I absolutely adore her. She's practical about what's happened to her and it's something to be admired, because she can still live a good life. She would hate hearing that I feel so crushed that she can't sing anymore -- I doubt anyone on the planet loved to sing as much as she did and never took it for granted.
Bless her heart. that was difficult to see an icon struggling now. She will always be a favorite of mine.
Thank you for sharing! We love you, Linda! I’m 58 battling 2nd time ovarian cancer! Don’t sweat the small stuff. We’re not here that long. God bless. 🙏
Brings tears to my eyes...
Same here, Linda, like no other, can touch my heart with her emotionally powerful heart touching sound. The only woman on the planet who can make cry just by singing a song, pass the tissue please!
Blessings to her she is fantastic and fabulous 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow her parents are so beautiful!! 1:55. And I love how she took that Roy Orbison song and soared with it to another level. What an amazing talent and what a life!
She looked like her father.
God, I love her! I'm so going to miss her when she's gone. She's always been my #1 favorite female vocalist...always!! (Dolly & Whitney are very close 2nds).
I've always loved her music since I was a little boy and heard Blue Bayou playing on the radio in the car in Scottsdale/Phoenix where I grew up. I would yell at my mom to not change the channel and turn up the volume every time Linda came on the radio. I was fortunate enough to see Linda perform a few times.
Don't take anything for granted and above all, never let it go to your head. Who are you if it's taken away? This woman has impressed and inspired me my entire life but never so much as this moment right here.
I've been in love with Linda Ronstadt since I was 13 years old when "Different Drum" was released. I'm now 66 and that love has grown into admiration and respect. Of course I have all of her albums and have seen her many times in concert. As she says herself, no one knows the future, so why worry about it. Worry about the cat who peed on the rug!! LoL Amazing Woman, Amazing Life. Thank you again for sharing it with us common mortals!!
So sad that her amazing, powerful, beautiful gift was taken away from her and all of us fans. She's an icon and I will always cherish her songs. I'm glad though, that she has another outlet with her book, to keep her going and to share with her fans. Hugs to you Linda 💗
Linda Ronstadt is by far the best female voice, the most educated, dedicated, passionate, emotional, loving, intelligent, generous, and genuine female singer to have EVER existed! Every music gender she approaches, she rocks it! And right when you thought you’d heard her best notes, she comes and shocks you with an endless number of unbelievably passionate twists over and over again! She has made herself inmortal with all the love she has spread throughout her wonderful life!!!
She is a classic, what a talented singer , so iconic
Love her and wish her well!!!❤️
I always loved her beautiful voice. She gave us many years of fantastic music. Love her!💋❤
Long ago stopped wondering about what Linda Ronstadt sang, when she sang it, who she sang it with, even how she sang it. All I need to hear is her voice - a remarkable instrument no matter what. Always authentic with true musical passion.
Said it so well, Evan.
Don't even matter if she can't sing like she used to
Everyone gets old and dies but she made it to the absolute top, no competition and nothing to prove
I'll always love Linda Ronstadt.
I love you Linda Ronstadt. Your voice is in the wind and in our hearts always. ♡
Her songs dominated the 1970's. What a incredible talent & national treasure.
The most powerful yet sensitive woman rock singer EVER. Some have tried to sing Ronstadt's songs but they're nowhere close to being in her league. Quit while you're behind, ladies.
Her music was a big part of my childhood in seventies and eighties. I look forward to trying out the recipes in this book.
Thanks for a good interview. I've always appreciated her music. I think she still has a voice. It just is coming out in different ways now. I always thought her work in Canciones de mi Padre was some of her finest. She brought some of the best of Mexican culture to the mainstream in America. Those songs were and still are beautiful.
Wish her smooth sailing ~ ☆
Oh My God , Thank You for the update on Miss Linda. I've been wondering how she was doing.
Precious Lady with a PRECIOUS VOICE to go along with. NOBODY could sing like that Lady....
Love her.😘😘
She is precious and wonderful! What an amazing perspective to have.
My favorite female singer of all-time. She can sing anything! Also, l had huge crush on her when l was growing up (still do, too).
Nowadays, Linda sings her songs in her head, and she admits it’s not like how she used to sing. We’re thankful for what she has recorded, and still thinking about her, dearly. Somewhere Out There, James Ingram and Horner, praying for you, too. ❤
Please do pray for Linda. She is not a Christian. One Must Be BORN AGAIN (2nd birth) & Sealed w/the HOLY SPIRIT to see the kingdom of God (John 3.3, 33-34-). An incredible gift from the LORD to our most-blessed BOOMER generation. All the chicks loved Elvis, the Beatles. We cats were in love with (& I still am) Linda, a most gorgeous & STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL LADY!!!!!
@@pmcclaren1 And I pray for YOU, Paul, because you ARE a Christian. Please explain, Paul, how so FEW Christians behave like the Christ they portend to admire? Soooo phoney...if you get to heaven, Paul, look me up. I'll be there, with all of my soulless pets.
Linda, rest assured, your voice was always stunningly beautiful.
Linda, Thank you for so many years of singing such beautiful music.
We still have Linda Ronstadt. We still have her for a while longer. The world loves Linda Rondstadt and the world still have her.
Linda has a great sense of humor God Bless you Linda dear❤️ Merry Christmas ✝️
Linda was at the Troubadour in August 25th 1970 when Elton, Dee and Nigel debuted. and SHE is the one who said "It went so well that it felt like everyone LEVITATED off the floor" and thats why that scene was the way it was
A vocal powerhouse in her prime. There won't come another.
She's still in her prime, her magic still inspires us ❤️
I cried my heart out watching this video. The voice of power, pitch and grace. She will always be remembered for her past achievements. She is an amazing woman and my prayer for all humanity to be restored to health and greatness and she is one who stands out in my memory of songs I sang to.
...tried to sing to, as it's near impossible to hit the notes Linda and Witney Houston belted out for all of us.
Thanks Linda, for all the great songs, incredible voice, you will always be remembered
I just adore her. Her music and her talent are timeless.
It appears that her condition has also affected her ability to use her eyes and face to express her thoughts and feelings. It's heartbreaking to watch her. 😢😢😢😢😢😢 Even so, I am grateful for her very existence, her wonderful (and undimmed) sense of humor, and the profound musical gift she has shared with the world.
A true treasure!
Linda's voice was magical and beautiful. We are all saddened that she is unable to singe or hear the musical notes. Her lovely voice will live on forwver. God's blessings.
Linda Rondstadt is such a gift to the planet!
Sending love back to your heart did you attend any live show?
I have loved Ms. Ronstadt for more than 40 years. She is incredibly talented and beautiful. ❤
One of the purest voices of my generation. That vibrato alone is golden.
Gorgeous, extrodinary most special lady to ever bless us with her presence! ❤️
Hi Suzanne how are you doing I hope you're okay, and everyone around you too as well.
@@alexanderbenjamin1522 Go away creeper!!
Her work with Nelson Riddle will always be my favorite but I'd listen to anything she sings!
What a woman! I'm so saddened about her illness so unfair the mysteries of life. I play her song " ADIOS " over and over I just love it can never get enough! I am happy she has written a great book, and has a great sense of humor!! God bless Linda! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏 Much Respect too!
Linda is a great part of my life. I was a teen in the 70's and everyone knew Linda. One of the best memories I have is of the song "youre no good". The part of the documentary of her singing with her family, is PROOF that music is healing.
One of the greatest voices in American modern music, her work with Nelson Riddle is sublime, & then the albums of Mariachi music to honor her father's heritage...I am sad that her voice is gone, but her work remains vibrant & will never age.
Linda's contribution and vocals as part of the trio with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton is simply spectacular a powerful voice ❤
Find the interview with Dolly and Emmylou where they speak in awe of Linda's singing talent.
Dolly spoke of Linda loving to sing the harmony parts in Trio.
Now that is a sharing, supportive vocalist.
I remember first seeing her on the Midnight Special many years ago. I thought she was so beautiful and her voice was absolutely incredible. What a talent!
Im glad she is still doing what she does so well , which is being Linda Ronstadt.❤🌹🍀🙏
