That was very popular and Lovely Linda was very good--in her younger years. I had no idea of who wrote the song.

Linda Ronstadt is right up there in the top 5 or 10 of America's female vocalists. And she owes alot her success to Mike Nesmith; actually alot of artists do.

Don't know about her yelling years, but she apparently has been seriously ill for a number of years.
.

What ever she has it affected her vocal cords.
