so Taylor has that advantage. But I really should not be comparing artists (or women). They are all in categories by themselves.

Linda played with a lot of different people, Zevon, Browne, Eagles, Little Feat, even Randy Newman, Chuck Berry and Keith Richards....many more that I can't remember. She certainly never reached the levels that Taylor has experienced, but Linda had a similar impact on a lot of people back in the 70s. When music was played and not manufactured.

She is like Ella Fitzgerald in that her voice is a musical instrument.


Ms. Swift touches people too and I have heard that she is like Dolly in that
trying to help people is one of her goals.

An incredibly wonderful talent.

She has an awesome body of work. I still get weak every time I hear Prisoner in Disguise.

And I never get tired of hearing Bonnie Raitt. The Old Gal had Song of the Year in 2023. “And Just Like That.” A genuine tearjerker. Taylor Swift was also nominated.

Amazing woman.

Fantastic singer.

time went by. started as a country pop folkie, went thru her r n b covers period into pop rock, then into big band standards and then into mexican heritage sounds. and did them all fabulously well IMO
