Quote:"I can sing in my brain; I sing in my brain all the time," she said, "but it's not quite the same as doing it physically. You know, there's a physical feeling in singing that's just like skiing down a hill, except better, 'cause I'm not a very good skier!"
Linda Ronstadt can no longer sing due to Parkinson's disease
That is really sad. I had no idea that's what happened to her. :(
Here are some from me. Uh, I don't know what a "cover" is regarding music. These are just some comparisons.
Take Me Home, Country Roads. John Denver vs. Spank. Denver sounds tinny to me in comparison to Spank.

Next up: Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash vs. Spank. I like Cash an awful lot, but Spank does some nice twists vocally at a couple of points in this. Husband says Cash is easily the winner. You get to vote, if you want. :)
