Interesting that one of the few Cavett shows NOT available online was the Ronstadt interview. I have been trying to find that for years. Did they show the full interview or just the song? Did they show her comment about women's new cigarettes being "longer than the mans?" At the time rumors about Cavett and Joplin abounded.

The Cavett clip did not show her comment about cigs. She did do "Long Long Time" on the show, and I think the interview clip was about two minutes in length.

How can you enjoy a movie when your entire purpose for viewing it is to find as much offensive content as possible! I did notice the one f-word and really thought that was unnecessary. Maybe the filmmakers deliberately wanted a PG-13 rating instead of a PG or G.

You should read some of the other reviews for some chuckles.

Just as the f word was unnecessary so is knocking Christians. When will people learn that it is the same as anti-semitism. Would you like people to knock your religion or lack of it (depending on one's beliefs). Just because you think some quote Christians are worthy of your comments that does not mean you are anywhere near correct about the masses of Christians myself included. It is insulting. I make my assessment of people based on interaction/s with the person and observations over time if possible and not "category" based. This is said not to be inflammatory but for peace sake. But anyway back to Linda, like I said before and az said, I don't recall the D. Cavett clip. I totally agree re: her version of LLT on the show. I found the interview part awkward and Linda seemed a little uncomfortable. I am not sure how to describe it. I also didn't like Linda's hairstyle so much. It is Shag-a-delic. My mother God rest her soul used to have a shag cut and she had sunglasses and earrings combined. So mod!!!Beautiful woman. I miss her. eddiejinnj

In all good honesty, it's important to remember that there wasn't any way you could make a film about Linda's real-life experiences in the music industry during the late 1960s and on into the 1970s without focusing on the less savory aspects of the industry during that period, including the drugs. I won't attack anyone with a Christian worldview who has a clear and open understanding of Jesus' teachings; but the Movieguide website, to me, seems to be but one of many of that kind that exists to critique on the basis of "morality" for the purposes of throwing red meat out to a right-wing, hyper-evangelical base that likes to attack Hollywood, and to do so in the most hypocritical way imaginable (IMHO).

Drugs were everywhere and Linda said she pretty much tried everything but nothing stuck with her .....
I appreciate her honesty in this respect and feel it’s totally part of the scene. I’m pleased she wasn’t drawn further into it though !

Quote by fabtastique:
I think we can all agree on that. I would also add that she liked the art of singing too much to be fatally sidetracked the way that both Gram Parsons and Lowell George were, however much she knew and admired them.

Wow, that so called Christian review is grotesque and weird. It's like they are looking and hoping for perversion. Which is true of most fundamentalists. "Though protest too much".Bizarre frankly.

Oh lawd..this is delicious;
"Miscellaneous Immorality:
Some racism when woman recalls that, as children, she and her siblings would get into trouble for speaking Spanish on the playground."
WTF is "Immoral" about that? and what......speaking spanish OR getting in trouble?!
In Brief:
LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE takes the audience back through .................... a strong Romantic worldview. It also has some drug references, brief foul language and other objectionable content.
MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution for LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE.
I guess the viewpoint of Movieguide is to pay a website to help keep your mind clean by keeping you out of certain theatres
If that ain't a "Romantic Worldview"....I don't know what is!

At least they acknowledged racism as being immoral... You don't hear too many far righties/ evangelicals defending minorities, in this case children speaking spanish on a playground and being scolded for it.. You often hear : Speak English or leave...especially nowadays from the you know who crowd.

I don't know if I missed it but a friend gave me a Sept.16th People Mag. (has Adele on the cover) with a pretty big article on Linda. If it is on here, my apologies. Just an FYI. Like I said before I am into researching and delving into Gram's music and Erik you are right there were big names falling all around her. She kept focused on the music and her desire to keep improving prevented her, imo, from engaging in substances/activities that would compromise her voice and the music. She seemed so eager to learn from others so she focused on that. Again, I am sure Linda had her share of certain "fun" times like the movie discusses briefly but she seemed to keep it in perspective given her goals for herself eddiejinnj

Fab, you are rt re: the scene she was in. I am so glad she is sensible that way and her discussing of the rock persona and life was poignantly discussed in the Malibu beach excerpts. People lose track of who they are and what they truly value, etc to paraphrase. I call her the Rock and Roll Knitter lol!!!! eddiejinnj

well, it looks like you deleted it eddie... that crowd could very well include basement dwellers living at home, alone or with a partner... (fortunately there's somebody for everyone- even for that crowd ) P.S. I don't know who you were referring to ... but I don't live in the same state as My Mother and my father has been dead for over 20 years... nice try...

I'll have to Goggle maps and see "Coronado." Gladding McBean Pottery first on Catalina Island then on the mainland in either Glendale or Pasadena I think. They have a popular early pattern called "Coronado." I wonder the connection? Inquiring minds. Thanks for posting review!!!! eddiejinnj See this one already has been edited by me

As though we needed another review (but of course, we do. he said rhetorically): www.theindianalawyer.com/articles/hammerle-on-judy-linda-ronstadt-the-sound-of-my-voice-and-hustlers“Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice”
Directed by Jeffery Friedman and Rob Epstein, “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” allows the movie audience to rediscover the importance of our recent past. Though Ronstadt did not participate in being personally interviewed for this film, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Don Henley and Glenn Frey appear to help all of us again experience Ronstadt’s beautiful voice.
Ronstadt’s entire life is covered in this film, which stretches from birth on the Mexican border to Parkinson’s disease, which robbed her ability to sing. As you watch her grow up in a family with a rich Mexican heritage, you see her depart for L.A. to pursue a career. In the process, she begins recording with a group known as Stone Poneys, only to be forced to explore recording as a solo artist.
You watch her appear on TV as a guest on shows hosted by Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett and Johnny Cash. For all of her accomplishments, nothing will bring a wider smile to your face than the moments she sings with The Muppets on one of their shows.
Ronstadt did not hide her politics, from opposing nuclear proliferation to trying to help immigrants be fairly treated long before Donald Trump became president. She further became a pioneer in a music industry dominated by men. Nearly all of the band members for all female singers were male, and she had to survive on her dedication and professional instincts. Furthermore, many of you remember her relationship with California Gov. Jerry Brown. She is one of the few female national figures never to marry.
Ronstadt had a wide range of singing styles, including folk, rock, country music and an album recorded entirely in Spanish. On top of that, she also appeared on Broadway, where she became an elite singer in “The Pirates of Penzance,” proving she was a woman impossible to categorize.
The most powerful moments of this film flow from watching Ronstadt sing such beloved songs as “You’re No Good” (1974), “Blue Bayou” (1977), “When Will I Be Loved” (1974) and “Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me” (1977). In addition, there are memorable moments where she sings with Parton and Harris, not to mention Aaron Neville.
This is a heartwarming movie you should really take the time to see. She asked for no pity given that she was robbed of her ability to sing, seeking only to live quietly as she relishes her past, where we all benefit from her magnificent singing voice to this very day.
