Linda and the Mockingbirds

I am a Linda Ronstadt fan. I have been since she was featured singer with the Stone Poneys. She was blessed with a sublime voice and she learned how to use it. For all kinds of musical genres. But I had a sort of negative view of her personally through the 1970s and beyond, influenced by the media who by their nature try to point out deficiencies in high-profile performers. Her drug use, her relationships, etc.

But as she aged, and as she developed the malady that doesn't allow her to sing anymore, and as I learned more and more who Linda Ronstadt really is, I hold her in the highest esteem. She is intelligent and straightforward. She is who she is. She shows no self-pity, she goes forward and does what she is capable of, and that is influencing the next generations of musicians, and as this documentary focuses, on Mexican music which is such an indelible part of her own background.

This is a wonderful documentary, I found it on U-tube.
