In Winter 1968, showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in "The Wizard of Oz," but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of "the world's greatest entertainer."

In "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice," Ronstadt is our guide through her early years of singing Mexican canciones with her family, her folk days with the Stone Poneys, and her reign as the rock queen of the ‘70s and early ’80s. She was a pioneer for women in the male-dominated music industry, a passionate advocate for human rights, and had a high-profile romance with California Governor Jerry Brown. Ultimately, her singing voice was stilled by illness and forced her into retirement but her music and influence remain as timeless as ever. With moving performance footage and appearances by friends and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" celebrates an artist whose desire to share the music she loved made generations of fans fall in love with her — and the sound of her voice.
