Linda Ronstadt Doc. THE SOUND of my VOICE - It's so Good It's so Good, It's So Good

How do you chronicle a talent like Linda Ronstadt? How do you pin her musical contributions down?  It seems an insurmountable task to encapsulate the maverick life and accomplishments Linda Ronstadt (LR) has achieved.  "The Sound of my Voice" is a fluid and coherent doc. that blends footage of LR's performances, artists' interviews and her own words into a fascinating feature that hits all the rights notes.  The immensely talented, fiercely independent and generous human being tells us "We sing for the joy of being alive and to maintain a legacy of our dreams and delights."  The well paced biopic is a cogent exploration of an extraordinary talent and remarkable woman.  The film is bookended with LR in 2019.  LR is living with Parkinson's disease that has thwarted her greatest passion and vocal gifts but not her unflappable joy.  LR's family & personal history is told with warmth, love and augmented by astounding black/white photos.  The footage of LR's performances are phenomenal. We're shown a prodigious talent who broke into the good ole boys club of recording artists fearlessly and harmoniously.  Her love life and love for life are abundant.  The efflusive admiration from her talented peers is heartfelt. Of particular note are the interviews from Bonnie Raitt, Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly Parton.   LR was the confluence of major artists breaking onto the musical scene. The takeaway from this entertaining and endearing biopic is the remarkable essence of a great artist with a generous spirit and iron willed determination.  Never satisfied with being pigeon holed or fettered she sought out major recording talent, producers and arrangers to fulfill her visions.   LR conquered broad musical genres including folk, country, pop, Mexican and opera with her beautiful & expansive vocal range.  She's a groundbreaking artist that collaborated & supported ungrudgingly her peers.  The movie is a well deserved besotted feast to LR.  One can't help loving her so whether singing on Sesame Street or in a Broadway operetta show.  Award winning doc. filmmakers Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman somehow captured a majestic artist and beacon of positive energy.  A thoroughly captivating doc. that is finely orchestrated.
