\u201cI’m going back someday,
\n Linda Ronstadt on CBS Sunday Morning
\nCome what may,
\nTo Blue Bayou.
\nWhere the folks are fun,
\nAnd the world is mine,
\nOn Blue Bayou…\u201d
\n\u201cBlue Bayou\u201d is just one of the many songs that propelled Mexican-American singer Linda Ronstadt to super stardom.
\nIn 2014, she was recognized with the National Medal of Arts by then president Barack Obama for her many accomplishments including four consecutive platinum albums, and Grammys in different music styles, like country, Latin and Pop.
\nRonstadt retired in 2009, after having\u00a0issues with her voice beginning in 2000. She was later diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s Disease in 2013.
\nShe grew up in Tucson, Arizona where being raised in a bilingual, bicultural household sparked her interest for the music style of that region. In an interview for Latina Style Magazine, the daughter of a Mexican national recalled life in a border community, \u201cWe\u00a0went to Mexico all the time.\u201d She continued, \u201cWe\u2019d go across the border just for lunch or to shop. My father had a lot a lot of friends in Mexico, and we\u2019d attend events like the Blanco y Negro ball, which was like a debutant\u2019s party. My sister and I would both dance. We\u2019d go to picnics and baptisms and weddings. The border was completely permeable then. You\u2019d just stop and show an ID. That was it.\u201d
\nThis month, Ronstadt came out with a new, first ever live album from tapes of a made-for-TV concert in 1980. Live In Hollywood<\/em>, includes 12 of her favorite performances including \u201cBlue Bayou\u201d. In a revealing interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Ronstadt shared details about her music, life today, the extent that her health has deteriorated, and not fearing death.
