As far as I'm concerned every week could be Linda Ronstadt week.
Good choice.

So sorry to learn about her diagnosis of Parkinson's and that she won't be singing again. A great singer with an instantly-recognizable voice.
She had such a powerful voice. In every recording she did with other singers, her voice just stood out.
Her version of Blue Bayou is one of my favorite songs. It's so good you never hear the Roy Orbison original.
That's on here one night. My favorite along with DIFFERENT DRUM.
