      Yes, they are great. Those ladies have been coached by José Hernández, the leader of “Mariachi sol de Mexico, so you can understand how wonderful of band they are.
      Being sincere, Flor de Toloache did good but Linda deserves the greatest quality because she only made great quality music; I hoped for “Mariachi Cobre” from Arizona or the legendary “Mariachi Vargas de Tecatlitlan” from México.
      That lady wasn’t recognized enough.

    Julie and Suzie, I concur! So grateful she was able to experience this richly deserved tribute. Kevin Kline used the word "literate" in his remarks to describe her-even in this brief interview, Ms. Ronstadt's breath of knowledge and wit are self-evident. I am confident she will continue to live a meaningful and purposeful life among family and friends. My favorite moment of the night was seeing those big brown eyes we know so well, well up with tears at the sight of her beloved friend, Emmylou Harris.

I have the pleasure of meeting her briefly as she hired my band, the street minstrels, for fundraiser for a local Ballet Company in Tucson. I had the honor of singing a Cuban song to her with my group. The song was "veinte años". She was 5 feet away from me sitting at her table at the famous Hacienda Del Sol in Tucson. I shall never forget it. Thank you Miss Ronstadt for your enormous contribution to American and international Music. And what an absolutely beautiful tribute to you at the Kennedy Center Honors last night.

    Wow! What intelligent responses Ms Ronstadt gave. I'm proud that she and I share a hometown of Tucson, Arizona

    Saw her in concert twice in the 70s (once with The Eagles opening(!), once with Andrew Gold). Still among the peak experiences of my life. Linda Ronstadt is a great American, and one of the greatest singers ever.

    "I'm here for the food." That made me laugh. Linda Ronstadt had the best voice of any singer I ever heard. She is amazing, brave, and so intelligent.

    amazing !

    One of my earliest memories of music, was Different drum. I was maybe 3 or 4 years old , it was the late 70s. I was walking with my mom to the shops on a late afternoon and for the some reason this faded memory of mine puts that song to it. For many years i wondered who sang that song, it wasn't until i heard it been played in the background of a movie in 2012 that i was able to search it and found who sang that beautiful song i heard as a child that stuck with me all these years. I never would have guessed it was Linda Ronstadt and i never thought i'd ever hear it again. Such a lovely melodic tune, i am happy it came back to me again. Congratulations to you Linda, you deserve this, thank you for the music you gave us.

      She owned the interview by speaking with intelligence and humbleness. She definitely didn’t have time for being spoken down too, yet was gracious in equal measure.

      Not sure about that. It was a short interview. Linda did most of the talking and along with the usual 'lovey' stuff that you would expect on an occasion of this kind we are gifted a gem of advice (for aspirant young singers to master a musical instrument), and its given the poignance it deserves. Also Linda seems to be relaxed and enjoying the moment, when we know she tends to shy away from the public eye because of her disability these days (and dislike of flying). I know she is always the consummate professional but it seemed genuine to me, so if the mission was as much to make Linda Ronstadt feel at ease then Paula Reid (I'm afraid I don't know who she is) did her job. There's a limit to what can be done in three and a half minutes.

    • @windsong1a
      @windsong1a 5 років тому +5

      Yes..... a little awkward to have a young person who may not have even been born when Linda was in her prime. Of course that's not HER fault. She did a good job overall. She seem to show Linda a lot of respect.

    truly a national treasure..i had the pleasure of interviewing Linda several years ago and she couldn't have been nicer or more friendly..and, of course, one of THE greatest female vocalists of the 20th century. A well deserved honor to a great American.

    I feel like crying seeing Linda now! She is one of the best vocalists of my generation!! I've loved her music since I was a teen!!! She is incredibly knowledgeable about music. I wish she could teach. I learned a lot just from this short segment. "Thank you for the music, Linda!"

    • @lnl3237
      @lnl3237 5 років тому

      Yes, Rose. She could give online courses! Next best thing is reading her memoir and listening to her interviews. As I read or watch them, I UA-cam artists and performances she references. She has taken me on a fascinating musical journey!

    To me she Is the greatest voice in the world, so sad she's ill and we will never have anything new. Saw her in Princetonin 1973, Get closer tour,Mad love tour, Canciones of my father tour, at Barnes and Nobles(Linda and a harp player) doing her Childrens album and With Marvin Hamlisch doing What's New and classics also Western Wall with Emmy Lou Harris at the Tower theater and at the Mann music center .First record I ever purchased was Different Drum, a 45rpm for 77cents when I was 10 now I'm 64Every lp.and CD since then. I knew what I liked a "long long time" ago. I'm going to Miss that voice. Adios my friend I will always love you.
