Such a beautiful voice, such a beautiful young woman. It's tragic to hear that she's lost her singing ability to the vicissitudes of Parkinson's disease. That news provoked me to go buy more of her CDs.
I remember seeing her perform in North Carolina many years ago, she came across as shy until she started "belting" out the big ones, 'Tumblin' Dice' and onward.

I've really enjoyed her music over the years. Was very sorry to hear about her Parkinson's.
To not sing a note seems so cruel.

Too sad.

One of my favorites.
My god what a set of pipes. She was our pin-up gal as well.
Patti - So sad to hear the news about her... :-(
We've seen her in concert several times - twice at Radio City Music Hall. She had an amazing voice.
Since she can talk perfectly it seems strange to hear her say she can't sing a note. Perhaps after she gets treatment this will change.

A very fine voice indeed
