"Full disclosure here - I had a terrible crush on Smokey Robinson, like every other female on the pla..." — Linda Ronstadt

I never thought of myself as a rock singer. I was interested in songs like 'Heart Like a Wheel,' and I liked the others for about 15 minutes.

To sing with Frank Sinatra in any capacity at all is overwhelming.

Singing with Aaron Neville, he pulled stuff out of my voice I never could have gotten, because if he's providing XYZ, I have to put in ABC, and usually I don't have to put in ABC.

The thing I like about singing duets is that I get things out of my voice I never get singing by myself.
