An artist I love is Linda Ronstadt. I consider her to be almost a female Adam because she has range, power, control, and versatility. She has sung everything from country to pop to rock to big band. She can sing soft and sweet and pure, and she can growl out a rock song with conviction. It breaks my heart that she has Parkinson's disease and can no longer sing.
Picking just one song was a challenge. I thought about going with the haunting "Blue Bayou," or one of my favorites, "Long, Long Time." But I think this one really swings and listen to that extended note at 1:25.

I have always thought that Heart's Ann Wilson may be the best female singer rock has ever produced. Here she is with her sister Nancy, drummer Jason Bonham, & others, killing "Stairway to Heaven" at a show paying tribute to Led Zeppelin. There are great reactions here from Jimmy Page & Robert Plant.
BTW - The derby hats worn by Jason and the chorus are in honor of John Bonham, Led Zep's late drummer, whose death caused the group to disband.

Here's my favorite artist who's not Adam, Tina Turner, performing one of my favorite Adam covers....A Change is Gonna Come. The guitar player Robert Cray is soooo good too. I know she's not performing much anymore, but I'd love a duet of some sort with Adam for a charity event, etc. Damn.....she's good!

This is a fantastic cover and Ann Wilson is an AMAZING rock singer.

I can't post a video, but mine would be Elvis' "If I Can Dream." Such a powerful, meaningful song by the artist I still love so much. Here you go... youtu.be/xA142IsjQiEThank You!

But I think this one really swings and listen to that extended note at 1:25. I'm sitting here, lunch getting cold on my plate, while tears run down my face. Thinking of Linda right now brings back so many wonderful memories. "Blue Bayou" reminds me of our honeymoon in Bermuda because we heard it many times during our stay there. My husband's youngest sister L.O.V.E.D. Linda when she was a teenager. She even got her hair styled like Linda at one point, and we'd hear her singing along to her records in her room all the time. I am crying because my sisterinlaw passed away last month at the age of 51, after a 15 year long battle with cancer. She was such a fighter....and I'm sorry I'm going off topic here. My emotions just welled up all over again, hearing Linda sing. My sadness includes tears for Linda and her terrible illness. Another lovely person stricken too young..... OK! I'm done. Please carry on while I stick lunch back in the nuker. Thanks for your patience!
