This Divine Awesome Lady is not a .99 cent mediocre wantabe singer. You are listening to A one of a kind beautiful polished American Gem.

Linda Ronstadt has performed with many successful and famous artists because they all knew she was a great singer of a very high caliber. No other female singer would come near her potential. Powerful beautiful singing voice, great personality, Charisma, Smart, beauty, courage, and much more. An Icon and a National Treasure.
To add to that I was just listening to little Anthony's version . It sounded flat and in no way compares to Linda's version. Linda is one of the great female singers of all time . She is often underrated and deserves far more recognition . Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘 6/12/2023
@@Kenny-ll7dn Yes, and she did it all with authenticity. Every genere she sung it she did with complete authenticity. It was extraordinary to watch and listen.
Absolutely NO artist on earth has achieved what this beautiful angel has accomplished on Earth. Linda Ronstadt should be in the Guinness book of world records for having collaborated / performed with more famous artists, singers, groups etc. than any other singers- not only in the U S, but in the world as well. all with great success. Artists such as with Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Glenn Campbell, Emmylou Harris, Mick Jagger, Smokey Robinson, Bonnie Rait, Cher, James Taylor, Aaron Neville, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, The Doors, The Eagles, Nelson Riddle, and many many many more. She has been successful in singing extremely well in many different musical genres than any other artists ever, from rock, pop, folk, country, jazz, opera, balads, latin music such as balads, trio,mariachi and others, classical, standards, with orchestra , and much more. No other single female artist has come near all her accomplishments and success, and perhaps never will. Her beauty, extraordinary voice, personality, charisma, has kept her for decades way obove any other artist and with no match whatsoever. Linda Ronstadt is a true Gem and is a national treasure.
Throughout her career, Linda caught flack for doing so many remakes. Well, she very often improved on the original...case in point, this searing performance. What so many critics seemed not to understand is that she was always an interpretive singer, like Sinatra and Tony Bennett and others , only she applied her talents to a huge range of different styles, unparalleled really. She is consistently underrated.
most critics of covers or anything can't sing a note, or cannot sing as good as this, so screw the critics...armchair quarterbacks. IMO as far as improving songs that were well written is almost impossible. Often that is based on one's musical preference, and out of context of the time it was written and how people sang in that era. how they produced records with less technology. Rather than improvement I would use the word "reinterpretation." Little Anthony and the Imperials' version is merely slower, with an orchestra and harmony singers instead of screaming guitar, of which at the time there was really no such thing. Little Anthony was no slouch of a vocalist, he was a bad ass.
You sound like an amazing person!.As a teen I fell in love with this music My Dad would correct me and say it has been out there for years. He was a huge Tony Bennett fan
Think it's Danny Kortchmar. Remember reading her say that his playing brought out something in her voice she needed for this song. He's still playing in a group called "The Immediate Family" with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Wally Wachtel and Steve Postell.
I like how the guitar was screaming and crying in the same passion as the lead vocals of one of the greatest voices ever captured on film. Thanks for bringing back good memories of the '80s!
@@chriscooper7642 Ronstadt never took a singing lesson until she did Pirates of Penzance in the summer of 1980. This is recorded in 1979 and Linda was a super powerful singer going back to her earliest days in Tucson. She has stated that those voice sessions gave her more colors in her pipes.
This song gives me the shivers; Linda's passion, the searing guitar solo and the final NOOOOOO. A truly unique talent never to be seen or heard again. She knows what lines and words to emphasize in this soaring anthem of broken heartedness
Yes she did grab your heart. There is something in her voice that just makes me cry. She can do rock queen, she can do big ballad, she can do opera even but when she sings those pared-down little songs of love and loss or folk songs about people down on their luck or doomed (Louisa), I just want to cry. It is the depth of emotion in her voice.
Such a beautiful, heartbreaking song - and delivered perfectly by the gorgeous Linda Ronstadt. This song portrays the raw, desperate pleas of abject despair that I'd dare say most of us have uttered from our knees at some painful time or other in our lives.Bravo Linda!😎👍
Danny Kortchmar blows me away with his strat here. Incredible solo, conveying the dark, hurt emotions of a scorned lover. The chorus riff reminds me of "One of these nights" by the Eagles.
...MY INTRODUCTION, to "80's Linda"; ...I knew of her 70's stuff, but, THIS SONG....the moody vibe, the SCORCHING guitar, the 'rock chick' vocals...It was on my Aunt's (RIP) "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" LP, and, I played it over, over & OVER....LOVED the short, 'little boy' haircut on Linda, too..... this was the personification of Spring, 1980, to me.....Hurt so BAD!? ..Hurts so GOOD.....
Linda was so different from the typical rock starlet--much closer to a blues shouter (like Etta James) than anything else. What power in her voice when she let go, and what subtlety when she toned it down. I know that Parkinson's has taken her voice now, but she is one for the ages, and still one of my favorites. My kids thought Beyonce & Britney could sing--until I played them a cross mix of Linda & Karen Carpenter. Case closed, and I thank God I lived in the era. Linda, I wish you a pain free, happy life for the joy you brought all of your fans. God speed, and God bless.
I do not think it is Parkinson's but I believe it is MS. It is still so sad. When I first heard about it, I posted that I was sorry to hear it and I got a reply from Linda Ronstadt saying thank you.
The guitarist is too effing LOUD! It's her song, not his. Don't know if that's the engineer's fault or the guitarist's, but he would not be the first lead guitarist overpowering the singer. UGH. I hate the screechy attack. She's perfect for this song. She's perfect for every song. One of the best singers ever.
@@jeffrobdine God, yessss!!!! Geezzz, a loud lead guitarist trying to overpower the singer. Who'd a thunk? Who does that to Linda Ronstadt? That's why Waddy Wachtel was the perfect player for her. Brilliant studio guitarist who ALSO sings, so he respects vocals. Their harmonies together were always amazing. Look up Tumbling Dice. This is amateurish..
@@chuckblakey558 You are certainly entitled to your perspective, but read a quote by Ms. Ronstadt in which she said this was her favorite collaboration with a guitarist; she felt his playing made her sing better. I am neither a professional singer or musician, so it all sounds fantastic to me.
Must pay homage to one of the greatest singers of all times. Her version of this song is riveting. Takes your breath away. Yes, Little Anthony did it first and was great but Ronstadt's cover is so much more powerful and heartbreaking.
Russ Kunkel's drumming on this song is fantastic; powerful and yet still sensitive in the right moments. And Linda's scorching vocals along with Korchner's scorching guitar work made this live version one of her best. What a vocalist and what an amazing band!
This is certainly the definitive recording of "Hurts So Bad". However, here Linda has to share the credit with Mr. Danny Kortchmar. The sound of his guitar on this recording is unbelievable. Actually, it's my favorite guitar part ever.
Yep, even hearing it now years later brought it all back. Amazing how guitars can sound, thanks for the credit, voice and instrument amazing. I remember having to finish hearing it on the radio evertime and I hadn't allowed myself to really grieve yet in life till years later but this song sent me there anyway, and wonderfully so, its part of life.
Once Linda covers a song, it's hers. Case closed.
One of the best female artists ever. Who's listening to this gem in 2024?
Northern Michigan here- she’s the Greatest ! ❤️
Alabama loving Linda!
Me too
mee too from malaysia my dear..❤❤❤

Me next to her !!!
Gorgeous important pipes. If you aren't listening to Ronstadt you're not as cool as you think you are. Very special- now more than ever.
I am happy to know that me being as cool as I think I am has not yet been ruled out.
Listen to her every day, so I am cool every day 😅
I love the guitars in this song with her Beautiful voice. We need Music like this again in 2024 but wont happen :(
While on vacation in The Philippines this past February, I heard this repeatedly on their oldies station in Southeast Asia. Ronstadt sells it!
Linda Ronstadt is what the universe creates when it's showing off. Rare. Real and Remarkable.

This girl could and did sing anything--anything--better than any song stylist of her era and probably any era. Period.
I totally agree with you and let me add she had the it factor and could adjust to any genre of music. Kenny d.
@@Kenny-ll7dn Yes, and she did it all with authenticity. Every genere she sung it she did with complete authenticity. It was extraordinary to watch and listen.
That distortion in her voice at the end when she shouts "NO! Noooooo!" is both luscious and face-melting at the same time. What a voice.

First time i heard this version ,i was on acid,too cool 😎🎇🎆
Greatest female vocalist of all time. Soft sweet and tough as nails.
Grab the microphone and sing your heart out. What a concept. No one did it better than Linda.
Boy does she get it. My favorite lady.
Friends don't tell friends this song played 43 years ago.
It's a Timeless Classic!!!
Please don't go😢

Russ kunkle is still one of the best drummers around .
what pipes on that woman!
At 3:01- “NOOO !!”
At 3:03- “NOOO-OOOO !!!”
One of the all time greatest female vocalists. At her peak just phenomenal power and range and could do all genres which was extraordinary!

yeh true she did do covers but u gotta admit when she sang em she did a good job on them
You sound like an amazing person!.As a teen I fell in love with this music My Dad would correct me and say it has been out there for years. He was a huge Tony Bennett fan

her pipes are incredible, magic... I read somewhere she said.. my job is to make people cry and she does me
Linda always did a better job than the original.
It took me 2 minutes in to realize it wasn't lip synching! Man, they were tight.
No, Linda would not need to lip sync.
I like how the guitar was screaming and crying in the same passion as the lead vocals of one of the greatest voices ever captured on film. Thanks for bringing back good memories of the '80s!
Guitar was screaming at me! Love it.
I agree!
It was perfect. The great Danny Kortchmar on guitar.
Greatest female vocalist of all time.
No one compares to her. God gave us one of her and I am truly grateful.
Linda and Laura Nero were both gifts for us to cherish. Kd.
Does not get any better than this
One of the greatest
Here we have the true definition of belting out a song.
Linda one of the very few female vocalist with a five octave range. Very few female singers have achieved that vocal dream.
Linda completely ruled her era, just a superb singer. It didn't hurt to be surrounded by some of the best musicians in the business.
They sought her out. She was pure gold. Her pipes were magical.
My wife passes,5 weeks later I wake up and this song is in my head,,out the blue,I go on youtube and there it is.. Linda .Mind BLOWN.
Blessings
Synchronicity
Linda and Little Anthony both own and rule this overwhelming powerful and beautiful song, just in different ways. Both versions are at the top....
"Come Back it Hurts So Bad".......OMG ❤
that song and her voice sent shivers down my spine...i was going thru my first divorce...what a voice and woman...
Every radio station played her beautiful songs, from ballads to pure rock and roll..live long Linda Rondstat..You helped define a generation ❤
Feeling depressed. This song came to me. Love Linda.
To all of the fans of LINDA RONSTADT, Good Evening!
Linda had the knack of making a song hers. Most of the time they were as good or if not better than the originals, this being a case in point.
Gorgeous honesty in her powerful voice. She never seems to strain - just great natural singing.
Sally Sheridan actually, Linda R took opera singing lessons. This is how she is able to have such power behind her voice
wow she can belt out a song!!!! there is nothing out there now that comes close to this
The best

😍😍😍 my song
I wish Linda could sing today!
One of my favorites singers! So much emotion!
Still have this record in great shape. ❤❤
No one could touch Linda. Her vocal chops are remarkable. Her ability to grab your heart was very rare.
Zeke Gabriel Linda, Olivia, Dolly, Karen, Emmylou, Pat, Helen, Anne, I Could Go On. THESE Are Some Great Female Voices.
@@richardkaltenbach3961 Most of those girls couldn't carry her microphone. Karen Carpenter, Anne Murray? - cornball schlock. Not in Ronstadt's league.

Woww the way the guitar and Linda's screams blend together is insane
insane.

I see you wrote this 2 years ago. Well said. Linda is one for the ages!
That was so nice and sweet
Linda, you are the greatest singer ever. Thank you so much. This song is so good. The true Queen .❤
Greatest singer of all time.Not just a sweet pretty voice, she can really sing. And she can sing country, pop, rock, soul, duets, trio.
Danny Kortchmar's lead guitar solo comes straight out of her voice, then at the end he follows her all along and then separates out. Brilliant.
I saw her on this tour, and Danny was not only one of the guitarists in her band, he also opened the show with his own band. Such fun!
there will never be another voice like Linda's.....
Correct...it breaks my heart to see her stricken w illness
Love her. The best singer ever.
You would have to have a very strong voice to stand up to that lead guitar, she does!!!
Isn't that Neil Geraldo on lead? Pat Benatars husband.

Pure Emotion in Her Voice. Gives me chills.
Exactly, me too.. wish I had the nerve to send this to my ex husband but it wouldn’t matter, it’s too late.

SING not SANG
What a voice... and Danny Kortchmar’s guitar playing on this song is blistering.
Great Singer. Gorgeous pipes no matter what she wrapped them around. Superior to her contemporaries and without modern day peers.
She's the best~~Got goosebumps when she hit the high note and get teary eyed when I listen to her songs~~I mean like, what a voice~~💓💓💓
Fantastic live vocals and intense electric guitar playing, both soaring majestic, bursting from their souls, "Oh...No...Nooooooo" > 2:58
Beautiful
Happy 74th Birthday Linda Maria Ronstadt!(Born July 15, 1946)😀🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾❤🌷🌹💐👍👏🙌
She truly nailed a Little Anthony and The Imperials cover. Her own punk rock version. I love this song ❤️.
what a voice! what a song!
Both versions sounds great ❤️ little Anthony's and Linda Ronstadt♥️❤️❤️

This is certainly the definitive recording of "Hurts So Bad". However, here Linda has to share the credit with Mr. Danny Kortchmar. The sound of his guitar on this recording is unbelievable. Actually, it's my favorite guitar part ever.
Linda agrees with you. She said this was her favorite, too.
Have you heard Grant Green's awesome jazz version from 1969?
Danny is severely underrated and under appreciated. You are right. This is gold..
Yep, even hearing it now years later brought it all back. Amazing how guitars can sound, thanks for the credit, voice and instrument amazing. I remember having to finish hearing it on the radio evertime and I hadn't allowed myself to really grieve yet in life till years later but this song sent me there anyway, and wonderfully so, its part of life.
Almost as good as the original
