I'll tell you what, these woman right here can just make you...what's the word...just can't describe.

This is easy--Linda Ronstadt, and it ain't even close.  She had it all--soul, power, sweetness, incredible range, amazing tone and the ability to cut across all genres.  She might be the greatest singer who ever lived.  It breaks my heart that she can no longer sing.
