LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE

* * * * *

(Classic performance footage)

If you were a Linda Ronstadt fan, as I was back in the ’70s, you don't want to miss this great documentary/biopic that is packed with performance footage that follows her career from "girl singer" with the Stone Poneys until Parkinson's disease stole her beautiful voice.

Ronstadt was the first major female rock and roll star, but she wasn't happy being categorized into one genre, deciding for herself where her career would go and not being influenced by the record companies. She moved from rock to pop to country music to operetta, starring in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" and then to Mexican music.

What sets this movie way above most biopics is the concentration on her voice and song selections. I got goosebumps when she sang "Desperado.”

It is at the Avon. Hopefully, they will hold it over or another theater will pick it up.
