Great Singer!!

I had the great fortune to see her perform in LA in her Cub Scout uniform. I was blown away how powerful her voice was that night. I had seen a lot of people sing but nothing compared to how truly amazing her voice was. Very special moment that’s for sure.

Great singer with depth

Linda Ronstadt was a great singer. And she was in it for the music. When she got tired of being a Rock star she decided to move on and experiment. What I like about her is that she was true to herself. Not for the industry. Wish more singers would follow her example. She was one of the greats. I feel bad that she is unable to sing anymore that is very hard for her when her love of life was music and singing . And it showed.
Simply beautiful

Brings tears to my eyes with her voice. Simply the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard.
So beautiful, and so haunting now :-(.....

The horizon on her singular, emotion-laden voice has narrowed to where she can no longer sing like this ~ she had a great run, though ~ and I feel so lucky to have been around since her time with the Stone Ponies. Love to you, Miss Linda....

No doubt, Linda Ronstadt possessed one of the great voices ever in any of the genres she chose songs from. There are a few of her most outstanding songs here, but also too many missing gems and even a few songs that are totally puzzling inclusions—lackluster compositions and vocals not her best. Even some of her best known songs are sometimes overrated. She had a tendency to choose a mediocre song or even a good one and just overdo her vocals—pipes without real feeling, kind of showbiz performances instead of ones with heart. “Heat Wave,” for example, is a song she basically yells her way through, no authentic guts or nuance to it, until near the end when she lets out this thrilling “whoooooooo,ooooo-oooh!” that feels so real and capitalizes on her powerful voice. Most galling absences in this album are more soulful songs and country songs that reveal what her voice could do with a bit more restraint and real feeling: “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” “I Never Will Marry” (with Dolly Parton) and “When Will I Be Loved” being songs that deserve to be on this collection much more than half the songs that are here. In general, I feel like LR was always a singer with a fantastic voice who too often chose the wrong songs or didn’t deliver them with the vocal treatment they needed. Still, her voice was a treasure when used to best advantage.
Greatest Hits, but no Desperado?

Some complain because Long, Long Time is missing. I can't believe it's also missing Desperado. This is one of three Linda Ronstadt's Greatest Hits albums I've come across. Each is missing several of her best songs.
Really?

Overplayed cover singer

By sowhatyouwilllive
If you lived through this time you'll know her biggest hits drove your to insanity because they were so overplayed. It's So Easy is a particularly unbearable cover. A good singer with below average original material - hence a career dependent on cover versions.
Long Long Time? You have too be kidding?

How could you have not! Included one of her greatest track!
Unbelievable! Also mastering on Tumblin Dice did sound somewhat distorted! Sorry mastering was very overwhelmingly not that great ! should have be mastered more carefully !

Great singer and song but the transfer sounds pretty distorted. Can't imagine the album or CD was that way.
It’s So Easy

The reviewer who hates this song should know it’s a Buddy Holly-penned tune, and considered a classic. Linda’s version was a Top 10 hit, too.
What an amazing voice!

Played some of these songs in bands when I was a kid. Loved the energy of the songs. She had fantastic musiicians, but here voice was unlike any others.
am I missing something?

I almost bought this (feeling nostalgic about the 70's)
But, while I know everyone has a "favorite" song for any artists. How can this be a "Greatest Hits" without Long, Long Time?
Is it a "hidden" cut like when we used to buy albums? Just not listed?
Because of this alone, this completely misses.
I guess, it's only $4.99

Linda Ronstadt will always rank among the greatest singers of all time. She ranks at the very top with the likes of Judy and Patsy. If you ever own one album of hers, own a greatest hits. I'm purchasing this one just because it's remastered. I've got every single one of these songs. Such power in her voice. Such musicality.
