Linda Ronstadt : (4) " Full disclosure here – I had a terrible crush on Smokey Robinson, like every other female on the planet. " - Linda Ronstadt " I had a galvanised voice: I could sing through a 105 fever or a flu or a root canal or anything that you could throw at me. " - Linda Ronstadt " I know my own father’s business was very dependent on the goodwill and business and trade from people in northern Mexico. We knew their families and went to their weddings and baptisms and balls and picnics, and we had a great time with them. " - Linda Ronstadt " Ninety-eight percent of the singing I did was private singing – it was in the shower, at the dishwasher, driving my car, singing with the radio, whatever. I can’t do any of that now. I wish I could. I don’t miss performing, particularly, but I miss singing. " - Linda Ronstadt
