I have several albums/CDs of the McGarrigle sister that I bought many years ago. Always loved their very unique harmony and interesting songs. Never knew until tonight that our beautiful Linda Ronstadt sang with them. With all the different styles of music that we have heard from her, this is just one more example of her talent and perfect voice. Loved her when I was 20, love her still now that I'm 73. How many stars can you say that about.
They sang with her on the Western Wall, the Tuscan Sessions with Emmylou Harris as well, and the 4 of them (Linda, Emmylou, Kate and Anna) sang together on the song Golden Ring from the Tammy Wynette Remembered CD
Ronstadt took voice lessons in the early 80's and she said it helped her discover her higher registers. You can hear the pay off in this video. Bravo, Linda! I just wish this song was a little longer.
I bought this album for Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris’ contributions and fell in love with the entire cast of talented players. One of my favorite albums.
@@shanroberts5762 what Sharon said. 😊 Most of the McGarrigle/Wainwright clan and friends and collaborators from over the years. An eclectic, brilliant collection of songs.
@@deadandburied7626I have the box set and didn’t recall this. The only cd I really listened to was the Rarities disc 4, I had all the other songs on numerous albums
He composed such beautiful ,poetic songs Most of them with a sad tone perhaps reflective of his own life. The father of American music and what we would come to know as pop music
Sadly, his songs aren't taught in our schools anymore. In 1957 my father was stationed in Japan and over there, everywhere you went, you heard Japanese people playing Foster's music.
@@irrigationjoehenggeler2863 in the 50s in primary school here in Scotland we learned many of his songs. I still love them all. When I was a teacher myself from the 70s to about 2003 I managed to teach quite a few of Foster’s songs, but then PC arrived and well-you know the rest!
Foster wrote this song based on a sad story. One winter's evening in the town he lived (Cincinnati?), the parents of a girl down the street from him had sent their daughter out to fetch a pail of milk. She was run over by wagon and killed. All the neighbors were heartbroken & Foster wrote the song.
beldengi Talk To Me of Mendocino is such a part of my early adulthood. It almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. LOVE that album. I had the privilege of seeing Kate and Anna many times on the folk festival circuit. I'm very close to my Sisters, so I can imagine how much Anna ( and Jane, Rufus and Martha) miss Kate. As for Linda - all I can say is it's a cruel thing indeed to be robbed of such a stunning voice.
beldengi Just in case you never saw this, here is the link to the video of Ms. Ronstadt singing this song with the McGarrigles and Maria Muldaur in Rochester in the 80's. Would've given anything to have been sitting in that bar that night! ua-cam.com/video/E4QSl5u3ofM/v-deo.html
They were good indeed...heard the McGarrigles live but never Linda ...she was phenomenal and I often wonder how she is getting on as I think she has had some setbacks.
...just saw an interview with her on CBS related to the upcoming Kennedy Center Honors event that will be broadcast on December 15th. Ms. Ronstadt looked well, although obviously weakened by her Parkinson's; still very much herself-witty, modest and unfiltered! It would be a miracle if she attends the ceremony as she was unable to make it to the RRHOF five years ago due to the difficulty of travel. Just so wonderful to see her celebrated like this; not because she wants or needs it, but because we, the joyful consumers of her music, get to revisit the magical musical odyssey on which she took us, and to satisfy our deepest need to express our gratitude for the blessings of that voice!
There was no end to Linda’s versatility.
I grew up in California and had such a crush on the dear lady. You all sang the ballad wonderfully, thank you. Doug Moore.
I’m gay and had a huge crush on her. Her charm and beauty are hard to resist.
I grew up playing Steven Foster songs on the piano, always loved this melody, and this is most beautiful!!
Linda getting those high notes. Her vocal talents were other-worldly. Such a tragedy that her great gift was taken away from her.
And from us...
Gentle ladies singing. ❤❤❤
Linda is so gracious singing with others. Her powerful vocals could draw focus, but she’s a team player and tries to blend.
My Mom was Annie. She was loving, kind and Gentle. A true mother.
Mine too 😢

their close harmony is spiritual
This is a treasure in all respects.

tribute to her perfection that at that point in life she's taking lessons...

Please would you tell me the name of the album?
@@shanroberts5762 The McGarrigle Hour. I just found it in the Google Play store.

Linda's track is also in the Linda Ronstadt Box Set.😊

If ever there was a finer songwriter than Stephen Collins Foster, those of us who are songwriters do not know him.
He composed such beautiful ,poetic songs Most of them with a sad tone perhaps reflective of his own life.
The father of American music and what we would come to know as pop music
Sadly, his songs aren't taught in our schools anymore. In 1957 my father was stationed in Japan and over there, everywhere you went, you heard Japanese people playing Foster's music.

Music ! 🎵
This really moves me ,beautiful
Heaven!

Lovely job by three great voices.
That was a wonderful 🎶❤️🌹
Their LP's from the 70's are a real treasure. Some amazing songs such as Kitty Come Home, Talk to me of Mendocino. If you can find them buy them.

Love seeing the songbook with neat pictures! And getting to watch these three create beautiful music.
Like a prayer 🙏
Nostalgically magical❣️
Who would downvote this?
Beautiful and poignant. The high notes tug the heart strings.
Recorded on The McGarrigle Hour, 1998
David Richardson one of the best compilations of talent ever recorded
They are sooo good. I wonder how Linda Ronstadt is doing.
They were good indeed...heard the McGarrigles live but never Linda ...she was phenomenal and I often wonder how she is getting on as I think she has had some setbacks.
Theres a brilliant documentary about her out now

CNN recently broadcast a special about her life. She has Parkinson's and has trouble singing but she did sing at the end of the documentary.
such a treat
Beautiful . B
I agree 100%
I have that same book in my lap. Gentle Annie is page 127.
Beautiful song. Reminds me of Steven Foster songs.
He wrote it . B
Bravo
Great
Wow.Anybody know what year. Definitely feel I've aged with that group. Miss Kate.
Oh waooo. When did this happened? what year. love it!!
The American Schubert
It's Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The movie Unless brought me here
☺️
Isnt that Jane McGarrigle standing beside Linda?
'yes, that's Jane
No, ANNA McGarrigle stands and sings next to Linda!
Anybody know what year this is?
Robertjshearer the album that it appears on was 2000, or 2001, so probably right around there.
So sad.
