Linda Ronstadt Dolly Parton Emmylou Harris Trio live on The Tonight Show 

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done. Three of the greatest voices EVER, being backed up by some world-class musicians. Can't ask for much more. I was so glad that Carson gave them the chance to do three songs so each of them could take the lead on one song. I miss him. Those who THINK they are taking his place are just extremely poor pretenders.

All 3 are great with their own special talents. But I must say, Linda Ronstadt is the greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.

There’s just something about Linda’s voice that moves me more than anyone else. I’ve literally found myself wiping tears away not knowing what the hell just happened.

What I love about these women is that they are all strong singers with distinctive voices but they also harmonize beautifully.

I am originally from Belgium this is the first time seeing this. This indeed The Most Beautiful 3 Female voice ever recorded.

Emmylou Harris soulful solo is so haunting... Priceless trio

Dolly & Emmylou went to Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999 & 2000 respectively. CMHF needs to induct Linda while we can all celebrate with and for her. She earned it both musically and by promoting & bringing many more fans to the genre. It would also put the TRIO in a permanent place of honor. Come on Nashville, it's the right thing to do!

The female Willburys if you think about it

The all star band with the Girls is Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, David Lindley, Steve Fishell, Herb Peterson and John Starling.

I'm pretty sure everyone on that stage reached legend status

That’s the iconic Mark O’Connor on fiddle.

3 of the clearest purist voices I've ever heard.

Perfection, Jimmie Rodgers would have a tear in eye had he been here to listen. Linda Ronstadt was the finest female singer ever to grace this planet

Lee Sklar bass, David Lindley on guitar, mando, Russ Kunkel on drums, Dan Dougmore, steel guitar, Mark O'Connor on the fiddle/mando, Herb Pedersen on acoustic guitar. An all star cast. Together they may have played on over 300k tracks in their careers. (Lee Sklar alone has 25k)

Didn't want it to end.

Music can't possibly ever be better than this

When these three lady's sing together the world stops

yes a trio will never be perfect without Linda Ronstadt

Damn Linda. I love her
