@@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.
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
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!😎👍
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
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.
...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.....
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.
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
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!
Omg how did I never come across this before. Pure gold. Best female voice I have ever heard. Awesome guitar. Don't (cant) make them like this anymore...
Danny Kortchmar’s guitar work on this song is gorgeously blistering, perfectly accenting the angst and anguish of the lyrics. A wonderful song and performance from Linda. I played this album (Mad Love) more times than I could ever count, back in ‘80.
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.
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.
Oh my god - just like the recording! Same key - same emotion and all the points hit exactly where you’re familiar with it so you can feel it live! That’s what people want when they see someone live! They want to relive it exactly the way they’ve always felt it - they want the artist to be able to do that in front of them so they can feel “their” song in a totally submersible experience.
Trademark vocals!!!! Unmistakable Linda Ronstadt!!!!!! Great to see she was honored at the Kennedy Center along with Earth Wind and Fire and Sally Field. So miss the 70s.
Once Linda covers a song, it's hers. Case closed.
you should listen to: Laura Branigan - All Night with Me (1982) 🌹
Linda Ronstadt is what the universe creates when it's showing off. Rare. Real and Remarkable.
Man Fantastic
WoW 100%Linfa Stunning
Thanks 👍 Highlighter
@@erinlast2627 Lovely Comments The 3 ,R's Yeh
Agreed 💜
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 😅
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.
The greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.
Of any generation to date.
Of any generation to date.
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.
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 LIVES FOREVER.🙏🙏🙏🙏🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Linda? do you realize how BEAUTIFUL you are are?
I love the guitars in this song with her Beautiful voice. We need Music like this again in 2024 but wont happen :(
I love how "Please don't go - please don't go" harmonizes/blends perfectly with the guitar riff 1:41 Great song - pure, raw angst and heartbreak...
One of the all time greatest female vocalists. At her peak just phenomenal power and range and could do all genres which was extraordinary!
Big Time Loved herplayed her as DJ yeh
totally agree with you wonderful vocal range
Love that
The lady...the voice...the song...the guitar...what more do you seek?

Guitar was screaming at me! Love it.
I agree!
It was perfect. The great Danny Kortchmar on guitar.

.i was trying to find out who everyone else was

😊
Danny Kortchmar making that strat sing like Linda's singular voice. So poignant, so plaintive. the pain is palpable...Incredible song.
Grab the microphone and sing your heart out. What a concept. No one did it better than Linda.
"Come Back it Hurts So Bad".......OMG ❤
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
Singing in two octaves WOW baby !
Boy does she get it. My favorite lady.
what pipes on that woman!
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~~💓💓💓
Linda and Little Anthony both own and rule this overwhelming powerful and beautiful song, just in different ways. Both versions are at the top....
One of my favorites singers! So much emotion!
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

This song can completely break me down
her pipes are incredible, magic... I read somewhere she said.. my job is to make people cry and she does me
She did everything right . Great mind and very intelligent lady. Bless you Linda ronstandt
Come back at hurts so bad!! POWERFUL!!!
Linda's voice is awesome

Absolutely Doug
Awesome take 👍
You said almost exactly what I was thinking watching this video 😃
I think she was heartbroken over that snake Jerry Brown when she sang this👈
@@lindabergman3127 she had a great set of lungs on this one.. I was 16 when this song played on my A.M radio lol

my fav female vocalist
How great and wonderful...Three guitarist!!! Danny!!!!!!!! Dan!!!! and Mark!!!
One of the greatest
Beautiful!
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.
First time i heard this version ,i was on acid,too cool 😎🎇🎆
you should listen to: Laura Branigan - All Night with Me (1982)
Linda, you are the greatest singer ever. Thank you so much. This song is so good. The true Queen .❤

what a voice! what a song!
Fantastic live vocals and intense electric guitar playing, both soaring majestic, bursting from their souls, "Oh...No...Nooooooo" > 2:58
Awesome voice, phenomenal feel on the lead and rhythm guitar.

She is good but Little Anthony owns this song!
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
For many years people cover other peoples songs
Grace and beauty,how refreshing
Wow what a voice she had ❤❤❤
you should listen to: Laura Branigan - All Night with Me (1982)
Beautiful
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.
Linda sings so beautifully so effortless!!!
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.
Great guitar and a lead singer to die for. Linda was in a vocal universe all her own.
Both versions sounds great ❤️ little Anthony's and Linda Ronstadt♥️❤️❤️
Absolute perfection,thank you Linda🙂
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!
Linda has a powerful voice
Best cover of this song ever. This was off her "New Wave" album Mad Love which is very underrated.
you should listen to: Laura Branigan - Аll Night with Me (1982) 🌹
I love this woman so much ,she is one of the greatest voices of this planet!
I hear you! It is so easy to understand why you'd love her forever, too.
Angel's Music YES SHE IS!!
That and she’s beautiful
Linda one of the very few female vocalist with a five octave range. Very few female singers have achieved that vocal dream.
Great Singer. Gorgeous pipes no matter what she wrapped them around. Superior to her contemporaries and without modern day peers.
Still have this record in great shape. ❤❤
Omg how did I never come across this before. Pure gold. Best female voice I have ever heard. Awesome guitar. Don't (cant) make them like this anymore...
Still so good!
Danny Kortchmar’s guitar work on this song is gorgeously blistering, perfectly accenting the angst and anguish of the lyrics.
A wonderful song and performance from Linda.
I played this album (Mad Love) more times than I could ever count, back in ‘80.
So glad I know this music..
😍😍😍 my song
Stunning. Just stunning.
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.
Ann wilson
Yes she did grab your heart. There is something in her voice that just makes me cry.

A lot like Karen Carpenter but so different also unbelievable!
Questa traccia è ancora nella mia playlist. Ciao Linda ❤
Feeling depressed. This song came to me. Love Linda.
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
In my opinion she is and always will be the queen of rock n roll. You are Great 👍. My prayers are with you.
One of the best songs by Linda Ronstadt ❤i love it
Linda and her musicians took me there. I have never come back since. That guitar, that voice; raw emotion.
She’s simply the best.
you should listen to: Laura Branigan - All Night with Me (1982)
GOD! This woman has so much talent! I love her Mad Love Album! Must have listened to it a thousand times.
So love her 💖💖💖💖
Very nice version by a talented lady. And those guitars !
Awesome perfect......
Just like Celia Black what a voice and Dusty, the three together Singing 😲 WOW together would have been a treasure trove 🏆🏆🏆🏆
She truly nailed a Little Anthony and The Imperials cover. Her own punk rock version. I love this song ❤️.
I love her and this song.
Oh my god - just like the recording!
Same key - same emotion and all the points hit exactly where you’re familiar with it so you can feel it live!
That’s what people want when they see someone live!

Love her. The best singer ever.
Doesn't get any better than this !!
Great voice
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.
Woww the way the guitar and Linda's screams blend together is insane
insane.
This was very well composed! I miss the good old day's
