There have been NO clips released it is still in post production. You have not SEEN any clips. BTW Linda provides narration. I like that name "real guest" Somewhere someone said they had seen the full documentary 4 times and that we here would be pleased with it. Maybe that was a preliminary version used to enter the film festival? It is confusing. Personally I am just happy for a documentary about the greatest female vocalist of our generation. Having it released before we are all dead is even better.

With one of the most memorably stunning voices that has ever hit the airwaves, Linda Ronstadt burst onto the 1960s folk rock music scene in her early twenties. The lead singer of the Stone Poneys, Ronstadt eventually branched out to begin her decades long career as a solo artist, touring the world selling out stadiums and, at one point, setting the record as the highest paid female artist in rock. Most remarkable to this day is her interest in and willingness to jump into new and challenging styles of music, including opera, jazz, and Mexican folk, excelling fantastically with each. Ronstadt has also been an outspoken political advocate for causes such as same-sex marriage and the inhumane treatment of undocumented immigrants, never shying away from fighting for what she believes both on and off the stage.
Filled with rare photos from her childhood in Tucson and wonderful archival footage from her iconic performances, as well as moving testimonials by luminaries like Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Bonnie Raitt, Ronstadt’s own voice narrates her journey all the way to her retirement in 2011 due to Parkinson’s disease. In the deft hands of directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and producers James Keach and Michele Farinola, we are treated to a poignant biopic about a truly one of-a-kind artist.

Quote by germancanadian: I think they have said it will be on CNN following its showing at Tribeca. I also think that a DVD release is inevitable; but a theatrical release first wouldn't hurt (IMHO). Maybe PBS will pick it up. Linda has been on Great Performances several times although I am not sure it fits that exact format. If it appears on youtube you had better download quite fast for your own viewing purposes. If Linda is feeling better maybe she could use it on a tour. Show the film first and then appear afterwards for some reflections, questions and answers.

The 10 best movies at Tribeca Film Festival 2019 www.timeout.com/newyork/film/best-movies-at-tribeca-film-festival-2019
We've sifted through the fest's 100-plus features to pinpoint the perfect screening for every kind of moviegoer By Joshua Rothkopf| Posted: Wednesday April 17 2019
About to unveil its 18th edition, the Tribeca Film Festival has become the best kind of predictable. We know they'll introduce us to some exquisite documentaries, the kind that preoccupy us for days. We know they'll unspool a handful of refurbished classics that nobody minds revisiting, with talent on hand for some legendary post-screening Q&As. (This year, no less a giant than Francis Ford Coppola will discuss his epic war movie Apocalypse Now.) And we know that digging through the indies, rom-coms and dramas will yield a new favorite for all tastes. This year, we've made it easy for you: Are you one of the 10 types below? Tribeca's got you covered. The festival runs Wed 24–May 5 at various venues (noted below); visit the fest’s official site for tickets and full schedule.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the Tribeca Film Festival www.timeout.com/newyork/movies/tribeca-film-festival For karaoke queens Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice An icon in desperate need of status rehabilitation, Ronstadt sang loops around her contemporaries, sold out arenas a decade before Madonna and consistently surprised critics. Codirectors Rob Epstein and Jeff Friedman get out of a great story’s way and even capture the singer as she is now: retired, with a voice held back by Parkinson’s, but still angelic.
BMCC Tribeca PAC. Fri 26 at 8:30pm; $30. • Regal Cinemas Battery Park. Sat 27 at 9:30pm; $24. • Village East Cinema. Mon 29 at 8:45pm; free.

I can only guess at the approach this documentary will take but I hope it focuses (at least in part) on the cultural influence of Linda Ronstadt. Aretha Franklin has been in the news lately and to my mind at least there are significant parallels and comparisons between the two not only what they meant to the cultures they came from but also the culture they influenced, the American culture. Aretha within the sphere of Black American culture and soul music and Linda within the Latin American culture and Mexican-Latin music. Both have brought a sense of pride, worth and inclusiveness to all those living within the confines of some difficult times in our nation. Having participated in a march for immigrant human rights with Linda (Phoenix 2010) I came to appreciate her in a whole different way. She truly cares about her "causes" and definitely walks the walk. Few know about or appreciate her efforts because she is humble and always kind. (except maybe in politics lol but I can relate)
For anyone new to this message or the forum please follow this thread for more on this topic: ronstadt.proboards.com/thread/4570/cultural-influence-linda-ronstadtImmigrant March - Phoenix, Arizona January 16, 2010Linda at 3:14 behind the Stop the Hate sign. I know this had to be a grueling few mile walk for her but she did it. Sheriff Joe Arpaio had the loudspeakers blaring Linda Ronstadt music (Different Drum) as we passed by his county jail. Linda spoke at the rally's end.

Tucson native and pop music icon Linda Ronstadt is honored with a documentary. By: Valerie CavazosPosted at 10:33 PM, Dec 05, 2019 and last updated 5:54 AM, Dec 06, 2019 TUCSON, Ariz. — Ten-time Grammy winner and Tucson native, Linda Ronstadt, now has her legacy preserved on film. A new documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice."
"The first day it came out in San Francisco she sneaked out of the house and wanted to check in out," Linda's cousin, Jim Ronstadt, said. "And she was very pleased with it."
He said despite repeated requests to document Ronstadt's life, she rejected them all before deciding on Academy Award winners Jeffrey Friendman and Rob Epstein.
"I thought it was wonderful," Jim Ronstadt said. "It depicted her very well and covered the early part of her life."
She grew up right here in Tucson, with a musical family who loved to sing, especially Mexican canciones.
"The family involvement and mt grandfather's and her dad's interest in music had a great influence on her," Ronstadt said.
The documentary depicts not only how she developed her gift, but her wide-ranging tast in music.
"She was tough," Jim said. "She wanted to do it the way she wanted it done and she did."
Control is important for Ronstadt. That's a clear message in the documentary. Jim said it's important for people to know that she's a gutsy star who never comprimised.
"The influence she had on the music. The influence she had with women in music. It'll be here for a long time," Jim said.
"She was the first female rock and roll star. Try following Linda Ronstadt every night. But people didn't notice the difficulty of being a woman, trailblazing, and having the success of a Mick Jagger," several people spoke about Linda in the documentary. Including Linda Ronstadt herself: "The rock and roll culture seems to be dominated by hostility against women. They lose the ability to focus on themselves as a person."
KGUN 9 asked what Ronstadt's parents would have to say about her illustrious career.
"Very, very proud of her," Jim said.
Ronstadt's last public concert was a decade ago, before Parkinson's disease robbed her of her ability to really sing.
In a poignant moment at the close of the documentary, Ronstadt is heard singing as best she can with family members.
Tickets for the film are available at the Loft Cinema.

New Linda Ronstadt Documentary Recounts The Tucson-Born Artist's Trailblazing Rise To Stardomkjzz.org/content/1156921/new-linda-ronstadt-documentary-recounts-tucson-born-artists-trailblazing-rise By Amanda Luberto Published: Friday, September 6, 2019 - 1:42pm Updated: Tuesday, September 10, 2019 - 4:03pm
Listen Now media.kjzz.org/s3fs-public/Linda-Ronstadt-Web-20190906.mp3?uuid=5ff2cee831fa1 Audio icon Download mp3 (2.56 MB) Linda Ronstadt Greenwich Entertainment Linda Ronstadt One of Arizona’s most famous musicians is heading to the big screen.
A biographical documentary of Tucson native Linda Ronstadt called "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" comes out Friday. www.imdb.com/title/tt10011448/
The documentary covers everything from her political activism and her relationship to California Gov. Jerry Brown to her rise to fame and her struggles as a trailblazing female artist of the 1970s.
“The rock and roll culture seems to be dominated by hostility against women. What happens is that they lose the ability to focus on themselves as a person rather than an image, you know?” Said Ronstadt in one clip.
Ronstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012. She only agreed to let the directors make the documentary if they didn’t focus on her diagnosis which has left her unable to sing.
She is featured in the beginning and the end of the film doing some voice over work, but no worries, there are plenty of recognizable faces there to sing her praises: Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Jackson Browne and several members of the Eagles just to name a few.
The documentary also touches on her background as a Mexican-American raised in Arizona. She went on to win Grammys for the many Mexican folk albums she released and has been vocal about border wall issues in the last few years.
Ronstadt became the highest paid woman in rock and roll by the end of the 1970s and is still one of the world’s best selling artists of all time. Her documentary “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” opens Friday in select theaters.

Linda Ronstadt Gets the PC Treatment in Sound of My Voicer.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr9DtnzM8dfw3sABE1XNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1606919283/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fnews.yahoo.com%2flinda-ronstadt-gets-pc-treatment-224032797.html/RK=2/RS=leQal3Scsc4WVTnR.kSmdhxfrjE- September 9, 2019
Not even pop music is safe from the political machinations of leftist filmmakers — including documentarians such as Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, the duo that distorted cultural history in The Celluloid Closet, Lovelace, and other social-justice vehicles. In the new Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, they continue that special brand of cultural engineering through a seemingly innocuous subject.
Here’s how Epstein and Friedman’s cultural rhetoric works: They offer a view of the past (of Ronstadt’s career, in this case) that reconstructs it along political lines. Ronstadt’s reputation as a successful, award-winning pop singer backs up ideas about sexual equality and unseen racial identity, tendered as more important than the songs and music that made her famous.
This biased approach to biographical documentary keeps naïve viewers in thrall to liberal ideology. It neglects the performer’s artistic endeavor, which is especially problematic in Ronstadt’s case since her career, as it developed through the social upheaval of the Sixties and Seventies, set off contradictions of gender and status even as she defined them for herself and her listeners. The 1967 recording of “Different Drum,” credited to “The Stone Poneys (with Linda Ronstadt),” asserted female sexual independence within the cocoon of a seemingly protective rock band.
Following that success, as Ronstadt’s solo career rose, she established the idea of a freewheeling white woman enjoying the privilege of autonomy — of self-choice and self-reliance. She enacted the sovereignty of making her own music choices (an irritating preference to redo other artist’s signature songs) and sustaining a career of creative expression in the wild-west competition of libidinous California soft rock. She enjoyed Rolling Stone magazine’s peak years as a cover girl who simultaneously fronted mainstream media’s celebration of itself.
It helped that Ronstadt was physically attractive: wide-eyed, toothsome, and short-skirted. Her cuteness acted as a seductive lever against the male insecurities of both the music industry and journalism. Ironically, Ronstadt became a symbol of what were essentially patriarchal institutions.
But E&F ignore that complexity in order to commemorate Ronstadt as a fearless, uncompromising standard-bearer — a banality. Ronstadt speaks of herself honestly and modestly (respecting her recent illness), but the talking-heads tributes in this doc are trite. Her colleague Bonnie Raitt extols: “Linda was the queen. She was like what Beyoncé is right now!” Eternal Rolling Stone sycophant Cameron Crowe crows: “But people didn’t notice the difficulty of being a woman, trailblazing and having the success of a Mick Jagger!”
This sets up E&F’s patronizing, politically correct identity politics. A vintage Seventies TV interview features Ronstadt testifying, “Rock-and-roll culture seems to be dominated by hostility against women. What happens is they lose the ability to focus on themselves as a person rather than an image, you know?” Even more timely, E&F reduce Canciones de Mi Padre, Ronstadt’s 1987 foray into ethnic music, with their eyes on immigration platitudes: “My family are Mexicans, and that is my roots” is her late-career declaration.
In contrast to the TV series Unsung, which discovers the little-known backstories of black pop musicians, E&F take an obsequious approach to established fame; their doc is Oversung. Allowing politics to overinflate their star celebration, E&F seem strident yet feeble after this year’s previous pop-music bio-docs. The Sound of My Voice isn’t as passionate or innovative as Jakob Dylan’s Echo in the Canyon, and E&F’s specious contrast of Ronstadt’s recordings and ladylike personal discretion is less revelatory than David Crosby’s reckless confessions in Remember My Name.
Epstein and Friedman seem unable to handle the irony that Ronstadt’s popular Everly Brothers cover “When Will I Be Loved” (No. 2 on the charts in 1975) would later influence one of James Toback’s best films, the 2004 When Will I Be Loved starring Neve Campbell as an uncompromising female sexual explorer, using Ronstadt’s cry to test the limits of libertinism, social progress, and personal fulfillment.
E&F leave us less able to think clearly about how these issues — and the cultural past — affect the political present. Instead, they merely use Ronstadt for a #MeToo icon as if the sound of her voice spoke for everyone.

Terry Hunter reviews LINDA RONSTADT THE SOUND OF MY VOICE 665 views•Sep 15, 2019
Terry Hunter 47 subscribers Singer Linda Rondstadt was the most popular female rock star of the 1970’s. She sold 100 million records and performed in front of sold out arenas for the entire decade. But as a new documentary on her life and music shows us, she could and did sing almost any type of music you can name. Rondstadt is now 73 years old and suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. She hasn’t been able to sing for almost ten years, but for almost forty years, she entertained the world with her immense talent, magnificent voice, and modest personality. LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE is about her life and music, all of which is told in her own words and those of her friends and colleagues, is far better than most documentaries of this kind. It’s beautifully edited and features lots of her great singing.
