Product Description Certified Multi-Platinum (7 times) by the RIAA. (11/01). .com Linda Ronstadt's appeal crossed so many genre lines it's impossible to categorize her as anything other than a gifted vocalist. She enjoyed success on country and rock charts alike with a voice that capably handled the requirements of both styles. There was a commanding roughness to her you-did-me-wrong classic, "You're No Good," that mixed both soul and R&B stylings into her vocals. In a similar vein, she handled the Motown standard, "Heat Wave," like a pro, this time giving it the slightest hint of a country twang. She even rose to the occasion of covering Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day." Rondstadt had some of her best moments with material that had a more emotional element, regardless of genre. "Love Is a Rose" and "Tracks of My Tears" are good examples of the disparate styles she could navigate with equal aplomb. Greatest Hits doesn't chronicle Rondstadt's hits past the mid-1970s, but is still worth owning, not only for the songs themselves, but as a point of reference in her career. --Steve Gdula

I have been a Ronstadt fan ever since I heard her sing for the first time with The Stone Poneys. There is a clarity in her voice, in Spanish and English, which transfers so beautifully to vinyl and now digital. I know it is not one of her big hits, but I could listen to "The Blue Train" over and over again. I was on one of those trains both figuratively and specifically one very late moon lit night somewhere in a valley near Mexico City. Ms. R sure drags the emotion right out of the listener; and I am glad for it.I think, we as fans, are sorry that we will never hear that beautiful voice again. But we are 'somewhat' happy that there is a discography a mile long which will live on after her. I have see her in interviews regarding the disease. She is wonderful. For her, stardom was a time of wonderment. I am glad I was able to participate, even a little, on this end.
