Linda's Redbook Magazine Article and Cover from 1979. I was kind of disappointed because other than the Cover there were no photos of her. From the article it sounded like they went through a lot of trouble in picking out clothes or costumes for the photo shoot only to get a Linda head shot and a portion of her blouse and brooch...

She was sick for that interview and even though the cover is gorgeous, maybe that had something to do with it. eddiejinnj

Just a guess but most likely around the time of Linda's appearance at the Tucson Mariachi Festival...mid 80s give or take a few years either way. Their first congress was in 1982 but I seem to recall a friend telling me he went to her first appearance singing rancheras (4 songs I believe) to less than welcome applause from some. I could have sworn he said mid 80's. There was a sentiment by many in the community that Linda was just cashing in and exploiting the hispanic community by doing this. I ran into several people here in Arizona like that and set them straight pretty quickly. Even the queen of the ranchera, Lola Beltran publicly thanked Linda Ronstadt for saving Mariachi music. At the time the ONLY place one heard that music was at the local flea markets blaring through the loudspeakers. Linda threw it a life preserver and made it a monument to Latino pride and something to be honored if not for its sheer musical beauty. It was also the perfect showcase for a voice like Linda's that allowed it to soar to its limits. I told the naysayers that I had an article from a 1970 Hit Parader where Linda stated she wanted to become the greatest Mexican singer. That always took them aback and changed attitudes very quickly for the positive. One does NOT want to get a complete Ronstadt fan like me irritated lol. That was one of many articles in my first Ronstadt scrapbook that I shared with Linda's parents in 1977. Her mom was especially appreciative and said there were so many articles they hadn't seen before.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but Linda's smile as Dolly is hugging her looks to be a pained smile. As in she didn't want to be embraced by Dolly. By the way, as to Linda's flawed skin, I've never met anyone who had absolutely flawless skin, and I'm not sure why the writer felt it necessary to call attention to that. Maybe Linda herself mentioned it? Or maybe Linda simply didn't want to look glamourous that day? As if she couldn't not look glamourous! Flawed or flawless, Linda always looked perfect to me.

Linda looks very young in that photo. At first I thought it was a picture from before she was famous.. She has always looked younger than her age.. That's her dad to her right. Not sure who the kid is.. Linda really did help resurrect Mariachi Music... Although, having a Mexican Mother, Grandmother and aunts and uncles. I heard it all the time at home and at family gatherings, weddings ect... so it wasn't new to me and depending on where you're from.. a border state or large latino population you could still hear it at restaurants or the car next to you.. but yeah, I do agree Linda help bring Mariachi Music to the Mainstream..

The kid is probably her younger brother. eddiejinnj For that to be her brother that photo would have to be around the year 1960 or so... at least early 60s. Looks like her dad is also a smoker which was prevalent with that generation.

Well you probably know, AZ, that her mother smoked too!!!! My mom smoked many years quit for ten and went back and forth until she passed which was the Saturday before 9/11. Big Ed (1933-2019) never smoked. My mo passed at 65; my Dad 85. I quit 8 yrs ago. I am telling everybody out there that if I quit and I was a human chimney (2.5 packs a day) that I hope others are inspired to do so. I used the patch. I am not pretending it is easy but it CAN happen. Peace!!!! eddiejinnj
PS: My sense of taste was enhanced and most notably my sense of smell after I quit. I kid that now I can smell a flea fart.

I think the kid in the photo is her brother, Mike Ronstadt. Linda looks 14 in that photo. So that puts the photo circa 1960.

Way too young to be her nephew. That would make him at least in his mid to late fifties. I am mid 50's and born a few years after 1960. eddiejinnj

hmm Interesting.. Linda does look very young in that photo. Gilbert's mustache is more pepper than salt.. I've seen photos of him in the 1980's and his mustache was definitely gray...

True--I was mislead by the comment that the photo was from the mid-1980s. Probably her brother then...

I believe she did "She's A Very Lovely Woman", which was then on the Hot 100 but, despite its straightforward pop/rock sound, only managing to peak at #70.

Linda wore that same outfit (or at least the top) on the Mike Douglas Show.

I love to see her play guitar. You can also see she was jogging a lot then (though now they say power walking is better on your organs and joints). As Johnny and Ed said "You've got nice legs." eddiejinnj
