Now here's an artist who has recorded an album in pretty much every genre that's appropriate for a partially-white woman to record an album in... she's timeless, and talented, and if you wanna spend your entire day watching youtube videos on someone, I'd say she's a good choice. I'll tell you some other good choices some other time.

But for now, here's a couple of my favies that came from different phases in her career...I didn't point out the obvious stand-outs aka her Mexican music phase... and the Stone Poneys.... and her country phase....and when she did jazz standards in the 90's....or was it 80's...?

Our generation needs another Linda Ronstadt. Maybe Caitlin Rose has it covered for the "country-ish" Linda Ronstadt, but she's sorta in a category of her own...

This is one of my karaoke-go-to's....

Oh Cher....tries to steal the spotlight with her wild dancing and skanky gyrations--which I think are just fine, because Cher is also a very "respectable" entertainer....But it's pretty clear whose vocal superiority keeps the spotlight in this little duet ;)

Spend some time with the videos featuring the McGarrigle sisters....they wrote some of Linda's songs and they all do harmonies together and it's a really nice thing to listen to...if ya like choral arrangements ;)
