Singer Linda Ronstadt has always done the unexpected. And now, the woman who admits that she can't cook has put out a memoir that is focused, in part, on traditional Sonoran recipes from her childhood. She talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about her book, "Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands."

    Without question, one of the most beautiful, powerful voices of my generation. And the fact that she has remained so positive and kept her grace and sense of humor in the face of such adversity makes me love her even more. She is a brilliant, remarkable woman!
  • Nobody could sing like Linda Ronstadt. The last notes of Blue Bayou still gives me chills whenever I hear it. Her voice was always so clear.
  • I’m so glad she’s still with us, she may not be able to sing, but she still has wit & a sense of humor!
  • Linda Ronstadt is a national treasure. She entertained us and gave of herself for so many years. Thank you for doing this update on her. We wish her the best.

    Don't even matter if she can't sing like she used to Everyone gets old and dies but she made it to the absolute top, no competition and nothing to prove

    Let's all face it: Aging sucks! I have lost 99% of my closest relatives--including my mom over the past 18-years. It's really gotten lonely without them. The holidays are not the same anymore; however, I am still here trying to make the best of a dystopian future in America that none of us saw coming a decade ago. God bless you, Linda. I've always loved your music even as a child of the late 60s-1970s.

    I remember sitting next to Linda in court in 1966 we were both getting our Capital record contracts approved because we were too young and needed the court to protect us She was shy beautiful and innocent I will always remember her smile And many times seeing her recording with the Stone pony’s Our producer Nick Venet would call her his Little Angel Love you always Linda

    40 some years ago, her beautiful, clear and pure voice accompanied me during those difficult years of trying to adjust my new life in America. I was just learning the language then. I’m grateful for her.
  • @treblenote2
    She may have lost her singing voice, but she sure has a sense of humor!!!! She has been a favorite of mine since Stone Pony's!! Love her! and thank you Ms Linda for your all of your music talent!
  • I grew up on Linda Ronstadt's music. Such a beautiful voice. So sad how disease ends up robbing people.
  • Linda, you were once the greatest singer on this planet. Your fans who love you will always keep your music alive and remember, you’re unforgettable! ❤
  • Thank You for the story. My generation is aging and losing the connection. Linda is ours and we are blessed to have her even today. God bless her.
  • She was the total babe and had the world's best voice. All of us guys her age in the 70's were head over heals for her. Such a woman.
  • @4orrcountry
    The most powerful yet sensitive woman rock singer EVER. Some have tried to sing Ronstadt's songs but they're nowhere close to being in her league. Quit while you're behind, ladies.
  • Bless her. She is an American icon. She is my joy and fun filled memories of youth. Spent my high school, college and soon after years with her music. Breaks my heart that I never got to see her perform live but made up for it with hours and hours and hours shared with her music playing backgammon, chess, cooking, BBQs, parties, in the art studio, wooing the ladies and just plain old getting high and listening to Linda. She will always be cherished.

    "Like....the cat peed on the rug, real issues" Exactly 💯. Thank you Ms Ronstadt for all the beautiful songs.

    I remember growng up as young kid, me and my school friends had the biggest crush on her, my room was filled with posters of Linda and just loved listening to music of that era, i miss the 70's.
  • @ahall8908
    Thank you Linda for your music. You have no idea what your music means to our family. When my Mom passed away about 2 weeks prior. She gave my oldest brother and I your Canciones de Mi Padre cassettes. She told me these are the same songs my father loved. I could not listen to your tape for about a year because all I would do was cry. My children ages 1 & 5 thought everyone was supposed to cry when listening to Canciones de Mi Padre. Anyways I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is the most beloved music of my life. We will keep you in prayer. If you have a fan club address please share. 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹

    Linda has been my girlfriend since I was a little boy and saw her sing "When Will I Be Loved" on a TV commercial. She doesn't know she's my girlfriend, of course! But always a place in my heart.
