She sounds great for 82, but the song is a little dull (it is a theme song for a TV series based on the book The Tattooist of Auschwitz)

Babs new single is produced by Peter Asher and she’s posted on Instagram a thank you (for a birthday orchid he sent her) and also for working on new music with her.

It seems to be a popularity contest rather than rewarding quality and excellence (or talent!).
Barbra Streisand hasn’t won a Grammy in 39 years (excluding the lifetime achievement award) and she’s certainly produced some worthy material in that period.

The Grammys are a joke now …. Taylor Swift is vastly overrated IMHO and please don’t get me started on Miley Cyrus !

I’m really not sure about that lead photo …. Each time I see it, I feel like it doesn’t really look a lot like Linda

I think as part of her deal selling her catalogue Linda sold the rights to her image so that may include the portrayal of her in this biopic. Who knows ….
Guessing that if this does go ahead we might see a soundtrack / hits companion released

Me again ! I commented on Kosh’s post and he’s clarified that the biopic has Linda’s original vocals and Selena will lipsync 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Just seen in Instagram that Kosh has commented that Selena will be singing … which I don’t think I’m happy with

I personally hope Selena doesn’t sing herself, but lipsyncs to Linda’s vocals 🤞🏻

The diversity of the music Linda put out in the 80s is astonishing - especially when much of it was not initially supported by her record company, until it sold in the millions!
She absolutely knew what she was doing and I for one am so pleased to have all this music to enjoy still today.

I really like the Mad Love album. It has great energy and some wonderful vocals from Linda.
I’m still very disappointed that Party Girl was left off Live in Hollywood as it’s an amazing performance.

It’s interesting to see how much Linda dominated the US charts in this period but did virtually nothing in the UK …. I don’t recall her being mentioned much at all and I used to scour record magazines back then.
I really wished I’d experienced her more during this time.

I also thought that the colours seemed less vibrant and darker on the vinyl reissue than the original. The weight of the vinyl is much heavier though so it’s a much better quality sound.
Not received my CD yet but it appears to be on its way !

New Q&A

This is a great photo of Linda - also the line "My voice didn't change. It collapsed" is such a Linda thing to say. As fans I think we'd beg to disagree but we don't know much more difficult it was for her to record while she was experiencing problems.

Lovely photo, I saw it on instagram.
She is so insightful.
Interesting her comments about pesticides …

Linda was selling millions of records in her day … big difference to streaming.
I think streaming has brought about a casualness and disposable element to music. For £12-15 per month you have access to pretty much everything.
Great for portability but almost too easy. That’s why I’m loving the vinyl and CD resurgence.

Appparently the CD rerelease has been pushed back to early November … ?
