      Wasn’t advocating for or against Dolly in the RRHoF but the fact remains she’s in kinda pointless to argue that. If memory serves me Dolly tried to decline saying exactly that, “I’m not a rock singer” but was lobbied by fans and other RRHoF members to accept and changes her mind and did. Bottom line of my comment was Linda had certainly sung much more country material than Dolly has Rock so if Dolly is in Rock (and she certainly is) then Linda deserves recognition in Country HoF

    I seem to remember in an interview or her biography that Linda mentioned having a crush on Smokey Robinson. If you want to enjoy a performance of both of them singing together, they perform a duet of Ooo Baby, Baby live on a television show. The look in her eyes tells you how big her crush really is. But their voices really tell you how much they love singing together.

      Penzance was an operetta, a comic opera, and unsurprisingly she was gorgeous (in every sense of the word) in it, both on stage and in the filmed adaptation.
      But she also did a spell in 1984, on stage of a legitimate opera: Giacomo Puccini’s ‘La Boheme’, performed in English, as the dying Mimi.

    Linda Rondstadt HAS done a comic opera, actually! lol She was in a Broadway production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance! I think there's a film version of it if you want to react to that. It's impressive, of course, and she nails it! High soprano songs. She stars in it alongside Kevin Kline and late 70-early 80s pop star Rex Smith(who you should react to, also. He does a wonderful song called You Take My Breath Away that was very successful for him.

    You nailed it. Linda can cover anything and make it her own. There are so many songs to dive into. Long Long Time, Love Is A Rose and Love Has No Pride leap to mind. So does Down So Low originally done by Mother Earth featuring
    Sandy Nelson who wrote it. Also I Can't Let Go originally written for and recorded by Evie Sands and made famous by The Hollies. Those two songs should be done first by Mother Earth and Evie Sands.

I love how much you genuinely enjoy Linda's voice and personality. Thank you for continuing to promote her to others. ❤

    The closing instrument is a pedal steel guitar, a staple in country music from the beginning of what used to be called country & western. A slide guitar is a guitar held flat and a slide is used along the fret board. Check out Bonnie Raitt, who is a premier slide guitarist. She plays slide for a lot of other artists, as well as for herself. Love you guys!

    You guys mentioned how Linda is so versatile. She can sing--and HAS sung--just about every style possible. You have had a taste of her range, but there is so much more. She had a New Wave phase in the 80s (Check out "How Do I Make You"), recorded a trilogy of Great American Songbook classics like "What's New" and "Someone to Watch Over Me," and did operetta (check out "Poor Wandering One" from The Pirates of Penzance). Truly one of a kind.
