Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice | 'Don Henley' Official Clip

NOW AVAILABLE TO WATCH AT HOME:

Since bursting onto the music scene in 1967, Linda Ronstadt has been an icon for more than 50 years. Her extraordinary vocal range and ambition created unforgettable songs across rock, pop, country, folk ballads, American standards, classic Mexican music and soul. As the most popular female recording artist of the 1970s – with songs like “You’re No Good,” “When Will I Be Loved,” and “Blue Bayou”—Ronstadt filled huge arenas and produced an astounding eleven Platinum albums. Ronstadt was the first artist to top the Pop, Country, and R&B charts simultaneously, she won 10 Grammy ® Awards on 26 nominations and attained a level of stardom the Tucson native never could have imagined.

In LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, Ronstadt is our guide through her early years of singing Mexican canciones with her family; her folk days with the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the “rock queen” of the ‘70s and early ’80s. She was a pioneer for women in the male-dominated music industry; a passionate advocate for human rights, and had a high-profile romance with California Governor Jerry Brown. Ultimately, her singing voice was stilled by illness and forced her into retirement but her music and influence remain as timeless as ever. With moving performance footage and appearances by friends and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE celebrates an artist whose desire to share the music she loved made generations of fans fall in love with her — and the sound of her voice.

Release Date: September 6, 2019
Director: Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman

Linda could sing the phone book and it would be a number one hit.

Quite simply, THE voice of a generation!

[lisaknox]

Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson- voices of that caliber- drew me as a young Black kid used to hearing raw vocal power. And spoiled me! Because the female rock voices I heard as a teen in the 1980's had big shoes to fill. Even today, at 53, my ears still love Ronstadt. What a gift.

Saw here live here in SD in 1975 at Balboa Stadium

The best of the best any genre it didn’t matter what song it was. Linda defined generations of music 🎶 Amazing pure talent authentic in every sense of the word

[curtisshaw]

Saw the film at The Tribeca Film Festival. Exquisite, no nonsense appreciation of Ronstadt and her scene, the devoted musicians and her deep musical chops. The concert footage will be a revelation for younger folks and indeed will knock your heart out. No pretentious bs to take away from that voice- OMG that voice.

I saw the movie today. Pure bliss! Wonderful documentary on an amazing singer and beautiful soul.

[kosmosbjm]

Such a great film—Touching, emotional, and inspiring. Linda was a gift to the music world. She sang because she loved singing, not so much for career reasons. Henley and Frey were part of her band before formingThe Eagles. She was a smart, level headed, strong woman just following her dreams.

[jamessrufert]

I saw Linda with Neal Young in October 1971 In Bakersfeild Cal. You great show.

[mathewhunt]

How much "work" has Don Henley had? His face is a halo!

[tjwash]

So, I saw the movie twice with friends and got a little tearful. Today I went by myself and sobbed. Kinda felt good, and private since it was 10:30AM showing, lightly attended

[tjwash]

I hope they don’t release any more clips, I can’t resist spoiling the movie. 😁 So cool to see the live version of Rescue Me that I’ve been hearing for years on her Retrospective album.
