Lea Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Linda Ronstadt has one of the best voices in the history of music. Her range is incredible and her voice is always sweet and clear. She has a power in her voice that you don't hear in alot of singers of any genre . She can sing anything from folk to rock and own it. She has one of those voices that can either send chills down your spine or bring tears to your eyes. Just an example: Blue Bayou -1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Heart Of Glass is definately every guys dream of Debbie Harry at her hottest as well. She is so sensual in that video and her voice is amazing! I remember! Just when you thought Debbie Harry couldn't possibly be more attractive, she had a drastic cut and re-style and....WOW! (swoon). It's all flooding back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 A bit about my nomination... Janis took hold of the rock and roll world with a strong embrace and held tight until she died. She was ballsy with a voice that took you into her soul. Her short time in the music world was a powerful one. With all her in your face presence on stage and sassiness, she still had a childlike sweetness about her that made you love her even more. May I add to this SJ? I heard Cry Baby on the radio today....Just an amazing song that shows everything you described about her....as in all her songs, but this one I really, really love...

Lea Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I noticed this morning that I had managed to confuse the nomination of Linda Ronstadt but didn't have time to point it out until I got home tonight. It was Shawna's nomination she had reserved early on in the thread. I hadn't noticed and also nominated her. After I did notice I had changed my nom to Cher. Then me being me I forgot again and posted: Linda Ronstadt has one of the best voices in the history of music. Her range is incredible and her voice is always sweet and clear.

She has one of those voices that can either send chills down your spine or bring tears to your eyes. Just an example: Blue Bayou -1977 which obviously confused Carl because he posted my misleading comment on the main site and attributed it to Shawna. Shawna posted some great stuff when she nominated Linda and I hope this won't be a total pain for Carl to fix. You will all see what I mean after you view the main site. Carl and Shawna I am truly sorry I caused all this confusion but I seem to be doing a lot of that kinda thing lately. I'm sure you all remember the tomato incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Lest anyone should not remember my noms, here's a little kick for you... Linda's soaring soprano in one of her most beautiful songs.. She went from country to pop, was one of the first females touring when she began with only Maria Muldaur and Emmylou Harrison also touring. Linda Ronstadt cleared the path for people like Stevie Nicks to do her thing, and she should be recognized for it. Actually, Lea, it appears that we all messed up a bit. No problem, I'll make sure that Carl knows to fix it nicely for you both. Shawna, please forgive us the mixup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I feel terrible about this Lucky I PM'd Carl and Shawna both. I didn't even notice until I went to the main page and realized what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Don't worry about it. As moderators, we should have read the thread more carefully, I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 No worries. This stuff is pretty easy to fix. Have a look when you get the chance - I changed it to Shawna's quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Sorry I put you through that and the video Shawna had chosen is actually my favorite song of Linda's she may prefer that one as well. I do have a question tho now that this problem has been fixed. When I go to the main page the words on the right overlap the info for the nominations. Is it just my comp viewing it that way? It was like that this morning when I first looked at it as well. Just thought I should mention it but maybe it's just my comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Lea, Lucky, Carl, faculty members, board members, members of the esteemed academy: no worries about anything. As you all know by now, it takes a whole lot more than a mere snafu to tweak my butt. The important thing is that the entry looks good on the site. And the other important thing is that I get a percentage of all the sales of Linda's CDs for the rest of eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 At least there's a mention of one of my noms: Stevie Nicks in Shawna's comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 At least there's a mention of one of my noms: Stevie Nicks in Shawna's comment Stevie should have been in the Top 5, IMHO. But then I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think so too, but the 5 that are there all deserve it too, so it's tough to argue a great (albeit short) list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
