Linda Ronstadt "The Sound Of My Voice" [View all]

During my treatments last week I've been watching a Linda Ronstadt documentary titled "The Sound Of My Voice" and I have to rec it to everyone who has heard her sing. " She can break your heart and mend it at the same time".

She wasn't much for songwriting but her voice would chart any composition. One of her earliest hits made money for Michael Nesmith in 1967 for writing "A Different Drum" which her and The Stone Poneys took straight to #1. I was surprised one of the Monkees wrote that song back in 1964! The rest of the movie features many collaborators and friends telling their stories and songs you forgot but loved.

Anyway, I know how many feel about Amazon, but my Kindle is my lifeline at dialysis treatments and it's free to stream this 90 minute doc on Prime:
