Solid doc on an amazing talent. Her music was such a part of my youth, such a pioneer. And what a voice. I got to hear her live once. I can't quite remember the context but I think it was at Davies with the symphony. She only did like 3 songs, and I remember Lucas was in the audience a few rows in front of me.
This doc does what music docs are supposed to do - talks to the right people, much of it is narrated by Linda herself, charts her career, those 'shocking' hairpin tunes as she explored the tremendous range of her talent, touches on those many moments when she made history and most of all, gives stellar live samples of her major hits. She's been suffering from Parkinson's, which is why she stopped singing over a decade ago, but she's still able to speak about her experience.
I've been humming Linda's tunes in my head.
