Linda Thompson, a prominent singer and songwriter from the '60s British folk-rock scene, has lost her ability to sing due to a neurological disorder. To overcome this, she has created a collection of songs for other artists to perform, known as 'Proxy Music.' The album features poignant tracks on love and aging, with contributions from various renowned musicians.
One song Linda Thompson co-wrote, “Telling Me Lies,” was recorded by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris for their “Trio” album. Unfortunately, her dysphonia soon spiked, keeping her from recording for the next 17 years. https://t.co/LKXY10WyU7
