I tried to contact buyer on ebay page but am not seeing where to do that. I was going to report the seller but I decided to see what everyone here thinks we should do. that is not linda Ronstadt's picture and I doubt highly it is her signature. as was noted b4, Linda's signature is small now due to the disease. the signature 2 members including myself confirm this. the ebay item says it was signed in 2013. it should be reported in my opinion. eddiejinnj

I have been fortunate to get her autograph in person, and that does not look like her signature...

If I remember right, that chick is from a Linda Ronstadt/ Stone Poneys cover band. Forgot the name of them. I think it was revealed in an old thread here.
However, to be pulling off that this is an authentic Linda Ronstadt photo with autograph, well, that's just not cool...

I have been fortunate to get her autograph in person, and that does not look like her signature... Maybe she's just another girl named Linda Ronstadt and she's taking advantage of it. If my name was Frank Sinatra or Mick Jagger I would perhaps consider doing the same. I mean, what could they do about it? It wouldn't be as though I'm lying. My favorite ebay seller is still the guy who sold air guitars.  |

The girl is from a Ronstadt cover band on the West Coast. I believe it is a daughter and father in the band. The singer is in a wig. Someone is pulling a con. Doubtful it is the band folks. The air guitar story above is too funny.

my partner showed me how to contact the seller. I said before I contacted ebay I wanted to get in touch with you (meaning seller)first. I also said if the seller did not want to just rely on my opinion they can go to this site. I said I have seen full frontal face shots of this woman and she is NOT her. I also said why would Linda sign a photo that is not her. I also pointed out her condition and that her signature is much smaller than in the past; common to the condition and that I obtained an in-person signature of her and her signature is smaller as stated. well we shall see what is the response ,if any, from this person. eddiejinnj

The photo is of Holly Aprecio.She sings with the group “ Just One Look” a tribute band to Linda Ronstadt. They do a very good job of it. I don’t think “Just One Look” or Holly Aprecio is in on this and am sure they would not like it. |

I feel bad for Holly! Yahoo and Google even use her photos for Linda Ronstadt Images! She's a fan and obvioulsy appreciates Linda, it's not like she's actively trying to steal Linda's identity.

the seller got back to me and they took the item down. eddiejinnj Way to go. Sounds like a very bad seller to me - and none too smart either as he/she did not know the picture was not of Linda herself. Always good to report these kinds of sellers to eBay as it helps keep them offline. |

thanks gang. I just gave the seller enough facts that he couldn't deny what I was saying. the seller said that they get them shipped to them marked as he sells them. u guys are right though that if it is your selling reputation, you should know what you are selling. eddiejinnj

Hey gang. Nice work shutting down this obvious forgery. ARNY here from Just One Look, a Tribute to Linda Ronstadt out of Seattle. My daughter, Holly Aprecio, who's picture you see here, just happened upon this blog quite accidentally. This is NOT the first time a picture of Holly in these promo shots she took last year, have been featured on ebay as something they're not. While we do our best to represent Linda and her work the best we can, we usually figure Holly's blue eye's would be a dead give-away:-) Alas, we cannot control those who would be out to scam for financial gain. Of course, we had absolutely no part in this, and thank those who have already noted such.
To the blogger that noted that Holly "sounds nothing like Linda" we certainly are very aware of the challenge of sounding like someone as talented vocally as the real thing, and only hope to pay "tribute" to Linda the best way we can!

My favorite ebay seller is still the guy who sold air guitars. This is an amazing and talented band who is a cover band for Linda Ronstadt. I think her band as well as herself does an amazing job! She's not trying to be Linda, but does tributes to Linda's band. She is doing nothing wrong, and I can guaratee that she is not trying to say she is Linda, hence the Tribute to Linda Robstadt! Quit kicking her down. There are thousands of people who have cover bands, so why do you choose to knock this beautiful talent down?! If you have an issue and are not a fan if her work, then don't listen! Holly, keep doing what you are doing, you look and sound fabulous! Everyone has their haters, and that's just your motivation to keep pushing along and do what you love! |

I Agree about Holly!! didn't we have a discussion about her about a year ago? I cover all the Ronstadt stuff too...NO ONE is a soundalike of Anyone but Holly and her band are MUSICALLY VERY VERY Good...and that results in their RESPECT for Linda...ie. they have studied the material....I think at certain phrases her tones are remarkably identical....and I am in spots also,,,but NO ONE will ever truthfully "Cover" Linda!!

Sounds like a good tribute band with a nice heart. I once heard a good Linda tribute band in Australia. It is not Holly's fault some yahoos don't know what the real LR looks like. Nice that the Dad visited the board here.

Thanx all of you Linda fans who "Got it" as far as Holly & Just One Look goes..
The web can really be strange & amazing sometimes what people will try to pull off...
We do nothing but respect Linda & the great music....

Holly looks and sounds more like Linda than any other I have seen so that is a true compliment. Isn't she also a photographer?

Well, stuff like this keeps popping up. Yay internet....I guess. Out of our control as these digital crawlers simply pick up photos of anyone associated with the name. Here's the most recent. A company selling a computer "wallpaper" of Linda Ronstadt....only it's not Linda again....it's our Holly Aprecio! I guess I'll take the free publicity, figuring her blue eyes should be a dead give away:-) www.hdwallpapersimages.com/linda-ronstadt/16834/ |

I contacted the wallpaper company and told them 100% percent the pic they show is NOT Linda. I don't know if they have any others of hers that are right or wrong but I said the woman in the red tee is not her. what is the merchandise above? it is very big on my screen and can't see the whole thing. is it a video? scrolling I see it says "a night on the town." eddiejinj

The girlin question is part of a Linda Ronstadt tribute band. She posted pictures on her blog about Linda's influence on her personal style. Yahoo and Google have incorrectly tagged them as Linda. Anytime you do an "image search" these are bound to come up. The girl is not trying to pass as Linda and she isn't the one selling these "autographed" pictures.

No doubt what you say is true, Lance. It's unfortunate that some sleaze on ebay is selling these as authentic autographs, when it's obvious, to us at least, that they are not, no matter what language they use—"limited edition", "numbered certificate", etc.—as smoke and mirrors.
It's just an unfortunate aspect of the internet that once something like that gets out there, it's difficult, if not impossible, to recall it, and it just perpetuates itself.
There's still that blue-eyeshadowed pic of Janis Siegel (of Manhattan Transfer) that still shows up as Linda Ronstadt and probably always will.
