Welcome to the forum!!!! Abby is a very pretty name (sorry my punctuation keys not working this am). It is weird as they will come back as they wake up this Sunday morning. It is unbelievable that if she has had a 40 yr relationship with this Rick that they were able to mostly keep it under the radar. Also, did they take breaks in relationship while she was dating other people. Not that it is my business but just curious if others have info or thoughts. eddiejinnj PS: See they came back. No scientific reason I can think of. Computer was running; so it was warmed up.

For my Mom & Dad's 15th anniversary my mom got tickets to see George Jones at the Bottom Line in New York. This was June 6, 981. My dad was born in Tx. and was a huge Jones fan. The show also had Linda Ronstadt and my mom always said it was a good thing she was there as Jones was a bit inebriated. Towards the end of the show this stunning woman (my mom's words) walked in with an extremely handsome well dressed man and were seated at a front table. My dad saw them also and told mom that the lady was Emmylou Harris. The show ended shortly thereafter and about 10 minutes later Linda came out from the back to the table with Emmylou. According to mom she went right about to the man, said "Rick you came" and gave him something more than a friendly kiss. They were there only 5 minutes more but mom said there was no mistaking that there was something between Linda and Rick. More than just good friends. All 3 left together. Mom said the man was definitely a New Yorker. So, this may answer the question about Emmylou knowing who this Rick man was/is.

George Jones feat. Linda Ronstadt – I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) [ Live | 1981 ]
dahliacorona 23.4K subscribers [ audio only ] – George Jones – Bottom Line (New York, NY) – JUN. 6, 1981 Thanks so much for the personal touch added to this video and story Laura! It must seem surreal knowing your parents were in the audience during this song if you hadn't seen this video before.

What a cool audio clip of the Bottom Line show! I still miss that club and wish I had caught the show with Linda and George Jones that night. More than likely, we'll find out the identity of the Whisteblower before we uncover who this mysterious Rick is. There's more than one person playing "Possum..."

Linda Ronstadt (barely) feat. George Jones! Thanks for that. I'd never heard it. Fabulous.

I love this live performance. Probably the most beautiful upper range of any singer, that I've ever heard. You can definitely hear the ranchera influence, namely, Lola Beltran on this song.

What a gift that turned out to be. Thanks so much for the personal story that keeps up the intrigue (though to be honest this is not a thread I have followed closely). When Linda sings "I Keep It Hid" there is a reason for that. eddiejinnj

I am sure she probably was uncomfortable since he was so drunk and happy Bonnie was there as a buffer. Like to hear what Bonnie and Linda backed up on. Thanks, Rob, so much for posting them!!!!! Peace eddiejinnj

In 1969, one of the guys in the band Southwind was seeing Linda. Also while she lived in Topanga, she saw a couple of local guys but it was nothing serious.

Richard Norton most definitely had a relationship with Linda Rondstadt in the 70's and lived together for a period. At the time my mother's best friend was a lady by the name of Linda Norton, Richards mum.She lived in the Croydon/ Bayswater area in outer Melbourne, Australia. At one point Richard brought Linda R to stay with her and she remarked how she got to hear Linda R sing in the house and how remarkable her voice was. Richard was a 'salt of the earth' type apparently but famous in the martial arts world. Quite a remarkable story but 100% happened!

Heard Mr. Norton interviewed on a martial arts podcast in 2014ish. My son is a very sweet black belt and played it for me. Norton talked of his work with Bowie, Nicks and some other celebs - very professional. When he was asked about Linda - he paused, he sighed and almost seemed to have to compose himself. "She was a joy, she was special".
