Had a big crush on her 50 years ago, has a great smokey lounge singer voice. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The harmonies gave me goosebumps. Crazy for Linda Ronstadt. Almost 4 octaves of powerful, pure, sweetness. If you haven't seen Pirates of Penzance from 1982 (I think) it is glorious. She's not even the best thing in it, and she's stunning. This is the kind of singing I used to do. (Did not know this song, though). Miss it very much. Thanks, Mosca. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

This is at least 25 years ago, turn it up loud to appreciate it. Who doesn't like hot women dressed all in leather.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

100% agree Mosca. Rosemary Clooney was (and thanks to electronic) still amazing. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

She wouldn't even have to wear clothes and I'd still like her. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

My first impression of her was she's talking, she can't really sing. But I gave her a chance and she snagged me - her emotion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Y11hwjMNs The Truth is like Poetry.

| JimRockford Member since: Sep 18, 2015 Threads: 2 Posts: 971 | I'm not comparing her to the legendary A listers in this discussion, but one of my favorite female vocalists is Tish Hinojosa, a local Texas artist. A beautiful soprano and a unique country Tex-Mex flair and a wonderful songwriter. If you like your country with some chips and salsa or if you like your Tejano with biscuits and cream gravy, you might check her out. Hers a couple of links, one in English and one in Spanish. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |
