In Feedback: Readers are troubled about Plácido Domingo allegations, angry about theater shushing and love Linda Ronstadt.
” by Amy Kaufman [Sept. 8]: Ronstadt has been an iconic force in music since the release of “Different Drum” with the Stone Ponies. The only error in Sunday’s article is Linda’s assertion that “[s]he didn’t know how to sing for the first decade of her career.”
Well, if you listen to her first three solo albums on Capitol Records, you realize that she knew precisely how to sing. These albums are all terrific. It was the label’s executives who really didn’t know how to listen.Which is how Asylum Records was lucky enough to offer her the keys to the kingdom, which she grabbed and never looked back.Thank you for your article on Linda Ronstadt. I’ve always been a fan of of hers and coincidentally just finished her autobiography a few days ago.
Her humility was also refreshing but, in spite of her view that she is not worthy of all the accolades, I believe she is one of the best, if not the best female vocalists of my generation. Her phrasing, the emotion she conveys and her vocal range are unparalleled. I am happy to know that she is still surrounded by music even though she no longer sings and hope that it allows her heart to soar. She certainly deserves that for all the times that she made our hearts soar.Thank you for this intimate discourse with Linda Ronstadt. There’s a generation or two of us who loved her “sounded like a goat” voice from the 1960s all through our childhood, adolescence and adulthood. She still resonates with so many calling her a main influence for their art of voice.
I had posters of her on my bedroom walls, the sounds of her in my car stereo and many of her vinyls and CDs. She came along with me through the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, but I never got to be under her spell in a live performance. My major regret is not buying a ticket to the Arrowhead Pond in the 2000s when she still toured. She will always be the one performer who got away.Theodore P. Schraff III
