For Linda Ronstadt Fans

“Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” is a wonderful documentary celebrating this timeless singer and the music she loves. Here’s my film poem:

Linda Ronstadt – how she could sing!

Rich tones, wide range, she’d always bring.

She conquered all musical types

with her glorious golden pipes.

Pop, country or Latin or blues,

at times performing without shoes.

“Blue Bayou” and “Desperado”

Linda sang with such bravado.

Many awards, recognition

until there came this condition.

Parkinson's hurt our songbird’s tune.

But her life it did not ruin.

This film shows Linda looking back

and helping others stay on track.

An inspiration she now is.

A stunning star of true showbiz!
