@@saticonthree5050 Shocking.. I had no idea either.. now those 50yr old lyrics make more sense... "I ain't saying you're not pretty" always seemed weird for a woman to be singing to a man.
Linda Ronstadt's original version has that characteristic power that Linda gave it. Susanna gives it that sweetness of her voice to her version. I must say that I love both renditions. If the Bangles in their purest form are pure rock, Susanna in her purest form is pure folk. Love them.
Ronstadt did not do the "original version". But she made it a hit with the Stone Poneys in 1967. The song was written in 1964 by Michael Nesmith, of The Monkees fame. The first recording was by a bluegrass band called The Greenbriar Boys in 1966. The song was for some reason never recorded by The Monkees, although it was performer in one of their tv-shows. Nesmith made his own person on record in 1972.
It is really impossible to judge the "best voice." There are so many, especially when you count Allison Young, Nina Ricci, or any of the Petersen family- the next generation.
Her performance is world class... The set up is life music at its purest , the basics are rehearsed but then there's a risqué element where unless the performance is stunning by competent confident musicians it could go belly up ...... It doesn't because her level of performance is so stunning ... She's like that, loves Music, loves performing , and has such a unique talent she is simply brilliant at what she does, Deserved much more credit than what she gets ...
I totally agree. I have heard many covers by Susanna, and the Bangles, and her (their) covers always rival the original, and sometimes surpass it. "Hazy Shade of Winter" with Simon and Garfunkel reached N°13 on Billboard. The Bangles took it to N°2. "If She Knew What She Wants" the original by Jules Shear wasn't that great. The Bangles version is classic. The original demo of "Manic Monday" by Prince for Apollonia 6 didn't satisfy him. He thought the Bangles would do it better. They did. N°2. "Unconditional Love" by Cyndi Lauper, "The Look of Love" by Dusty Springfield (composed by Bacharach), "To Sir With Love" by Lulu, etc., Susanna's versions are excellent. And I personally prefer Susanna's covers, although many understandably are biased towards the originals. Sometimes with a skeleton band, Susanna sounds great. As a folk singer she is almost like a jazz musician. Each performance is unique. I think if the Bangles hadn't separated in 1989, they could have had 5 more years of chart topping success, and Susanna still could have done her solo projects on the side. And the Bangles would still have counted with Michael Steele, a very important cog in the Bangle machinery. Susanna, and the Bangles, are very underrated, and underappreciated, except by their hardcore fans. We know they're awsome. And many young girl musicians that have openly said that they were inspired by the Bangles.
It pissed me off when people say that the monkey were fake they all were very good in there own ways wether they were singing or writing, I will always respect them as musicians!!!!!
She was fantastic, Andrew - I think I prefer the stripped-down acoustic "unplugged" version of her show. And thanks, MCedelweiss - it's the one thing my Droidphone does well!
I HEARD CARRIE UNDERWOODS SING THIS ICONIC SONG AT LINDA RONSTADT'S R&R HOF INDUCTION BUT SUSAN HOFF DID IT ASWELL AS CARRIE ONLY A ACOUSTIC VERSION !!
This is amazing to watch but is So Spot On it just sounds like the Real Thing? Just Eddie playing it? Not like a violin at all? I have never one of those instruments?
Both are small height women with powerful voices- can sing folk rock and rolls blues bluegrass just needs to do some Mexican songs. Even Karen Carpenter she is awesome
Good evening my friend I was born in 1955 to This not Susanna song at all This is Linda Ronstadt song from the 1960's to Today's music 🎶 is like garbage 🗑️ to Am still listening to this music in Oct of 2024 to
Strangely Mike Naismith wrote this sing for the Stone Poneys but never appeared in the video but was prevalent through out his career with the Monkees. Very strange.
"Linda Ronstadt sang the original a LONG time ago, kids." No she didn't It was written in 1964 by Mike Nesmith, first recorded in 1966 by a band no one's ever heard of, then became popular in 1967 by Ronstadt. Damn, what's with this Common Core generation, and "alternative facts?"
Yes she did. She sang it while a member of the Stone Poneys. It was written by Nesmith but recorded FIRST by the Greenbriar Boys, who must be the "band no one's ever heard of" according to you. BTW If you're looking for facts, try Wikipedia, not TH-cam.
I just love this version--maybe I heard it before, but I just fell in love w/this version and her singing...Actually had NOT been too impressed w/her as a Solo. I know it's a da**ed OLD vid but she does it well. And I will add, so far, that EVERYONE ELSE, LIKE LINDA R. ESPECIALLY DO IT BETTER than Mike Nesmith-fantastic writer/musician that he was. And well, Susanna Hoffs' legs GO ON FOREVER--she's got NERVE to stand UP on stage in those short skirts.

RIP Mike Nesmith 1942-2021. Wonderful song.
😢
He was so underrated.
wow I had no idea he wrote it!
Absolutely.
@@saticonthree5050 Shocking.. I had no idea either.. now those 50yr old lyrics make more sense... "I ain't saying you're not pretty" always seemed weird for a woman to be singing to a man.
RIP Nesmith!!! Your legacy lives on….
Susanna is such a beautiful and talented woman. Lovely is the word.
Linda Ronstadt's original version has that characteristic power that Linda gave it.
Susanna gives it that sweetness of her voice to her version.
I must say that I love both renditions.
If the Bangles in their purest form are pure rock, Susanna in her purest form is pure folk.
Love them.
I saw Mike sing it a month before he died and no other singer could have done it better.
Great song my two favorite female singers

@@henryrasmussendk correct. Thanks for noting.
She’s a nice singer, but pales in comparison to Ronstadt.
Beautiful Michael Nesmith song and one of my favorite voices. Thanks for sharing!
RIP
R.I.P..michael nesmith
You would like Joanne too.
Great version of a classic, Susanna is SO cute 😍 🤧 💕 😭
Sweet folkie version by Susanna! RIP Mike Nesmith, MFM (MY Favourite Monkee!) - Love and happy hols, the lot on yer!- Jezzie
Thank you Mike ,Linda and Susanah for such a beautiful song.
Beautiful tribute to Nez. Rest easy 💔
Oh my God She's so adorable 💋💗💋👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🧐
absolutely great rendition,, Susanna Hoffs has such a sweet pretty cute voice and so tight amazing performance.. yes rip Micheal Nesmith
Sussana has one of the purest vocal styles of all time.
Nice guitar sound! her voice is distinctive here. Great song indeed by Nesmith, who puts the definition of a noun into the song! Very clever!
Clever comment! I had to actually go read the lyrics to see exactly what you meant lol!
Tremendous performance !!! Great vocal and guitar 🎸!!! Song written for her !!!
RIP Mike. Bought the Linda Rondstadt album just for that track. Didn't realise the masterpiece was yours. 🙏
Talent & still gorgeous
Go Susanna
Always love the energy from Susanna - she's a favorite!!!!
Maybe the most beautiful and sweet voice in the world of music.
Yes indeed - very underrated singer!
It is really impossible to judge the "best voice." There are so many, especially when you count Allison Young, Nina Ricci, or any of the Petersen family- the next generation.
Great vocals in a real impromptu situation. She is a great singer, very under rated.
Damm i love this girl...shes so awesome...suzanna like as wine
Thanks!! Audio she sounds 👍 great!!!..... Los Angeles checking in....🎼🎵🎶 beautiful song....by L.R.🙂🤗♥️♥️♥️🦉🦉🦉
Michael Nesmith's "Different Drum" recorded by the Stone Poneys and immortalized by Linda Ronstadt
Actually, the Stone Poneys weren't on the original recording, only Linda herself.
2nd recording was them . original was The Greenbriar Boys
But first done by the Greenbriar Boys.
Beautiful song.
I've just discovered this artist recently....I'm no groupy ...but I think she is absolutely incredible.
Damn. This place is only 3 blocks from my home. Shame on me for missing out on this show! Maybe next time. She still sounds (and looks) great.
Susanna's voice and legs are PERFECT for this song.
Lovely guitar work and great voice!!! Awesome!
Love this song....
Very nice! Great voice and great song :)

I love her so much
Great video and a great song. Thanks for sharing
whew,, her voice is a cure for ED.. she has always been great!
Beautiful...
Definitely no need for apologies about video or anything else. Loved this. Thanks for posting it.
Love her voice....
HERMOSO ANGEL EN LA TIERRA SUSANNA HOFFS !!!
She's lovely
So, so, so, so good!
It pissed me off when people say that the monkey were fake they all were very good in there own ways wether they were singing or writing, I will always respect them as musicians!!!!!

SUSANNA KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK..THIS GIRL CAN BRING IT.
Summer of 68😊 beautiful rendition.
Wonderful version
Expletive! I miss the Cherry Tree so much.
The best legs you will ever see in music
MY GODDESS BEAUTIFUL !!!
wow..
nice rendition..
definitely!! thanks
After I got over those legs I realized she had a great voice too. LOL.
Linda Ronstadt covers this classic song beautifully .
she did it first
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
RIP Michael Nesmith.
Superb. 💙 T.E.N.
so, so gooooooooooooooood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup. She's good.
RIP Michael Nesmith
Came for the legs, stayed for the song
Request Linda Ronstadt. Accept no substitutes.
Awesome!!! Wish there was a band behind her!
Anyone ever see the Monkeys episode where Michael Nesmith plays this awkwardly, as a prank?
Susanna Hoffs was under appreciated and short lived. Very talented and a nice woman from what I here.
Definitely NOT short-lived man
????????
WOW!
i was i was there.
Her legs look pretty good
magical
WOWWWWWWWW
Love everything about SH & the song! but… ck out RRHOF 2014 Ronstadt tribute by Carrie U. She kills it.
I HEARD CARRIE UNDERWOODS SING THIS ICONIC SONG AT LINDA RONSTADT'S
R&R HOF INDUCTION
BUT SUSAN HOFF DID IT ASWELL AS CARRIE ONLY A ACOUSTIC VERSION !!
Rip mike
This is amazing to watch but is So Spot On it just sounds like the Real Thing? Just Eddie playing it? Not like a violin at all? I have never one of those instruments?
You're right, the quality audio makes up for the crap cam.
great audio by the way!
3 dates please
Who else is a fan of The Lemonheads version of it??!
Really like the musical arrangement on this version. Seems you have to be a pretty brunette to sing this song. :)
Definitely. Blondes need not apply.
Just kidding. Carrie Underwood did a wonderful version at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony.
Nice..
As sexy of a voice as there is….. no doubt.
Both are small height women with powerful voices- can sing folk rock and rolls blues bluegrass just needs to do some Mexican songs. Even Karen Carpenter she is awesome
Good evening my friend
I was born in 1955 to
This not Susanna song at all
This is Linda Ronstadt song from the 1960's to
Today's music 🎶 is like garbage 🗑️ to
Am still listening to this music in Oct of 2024 to
Don Kirschner turned this tune down when Mike played it for him.
Strangely Mike Naismith wrote this sing for the Stone Poneys but never appeared in the video but was prevalent through out his career with the Monkees. Very strange.
The great Michael Nesmith!
holly s...t
Not bad for a stage version with no studio or orchestra.
The guitar is bigger than she is. Super talented
The guitar is bigger than the girl playing it.
long long time ago? 1906?
"Linda Ronstadt sang the original a LONG time ago, kids."
No she didn't It was written in 1964 by Mike Nesmith, first recorded in 1966 by a band no one's ever heard of, then became popular in 1967 by Ronstadt.

Yea, it sounds great, but, you know that screens go SIDE-to-SIDE, don't you?!?! Why are you holding your phone camera UPRIGHT???
Susanna has been using Suzanne Sommers thigh master! Notice the inner thigh muscles?!
lol,i know what ya sayin,and i agree,it'd be too much for most ppl to comprehend that, hes not who they think she is
I think she sounds like Nanci Griffith on this song. Am I crazy?
I like it, but prefer the Linda Rondstadt version.
I hate this song...but I'm willing to listen to HER sing it
This is Linda's song. A very vannilla verson here. Nice try, but no gold ring.
Ronstadt's version is good but overproduced. Even her amazing voice barely reaches over the "wall of sound"
linda ronstadt she isnt
Not quite the same as Lynda, close, but no!!
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Nope.
I just love this version--maybe I heard it before, but I just fell in love w/this version and her singing...Actually had NOT been too impressed w/her as a Solo. I know it's a da**ed OLD vid but she does it well. And I will add, so far, that EVERYONE ELSE, LIKE LINDA R. ESPECIALLY DO IT BETTER than Mike Nesmith-fantastic writer/musician that he was. And well, Susanna Hoffs' legs GO ON FOREVER--she's got NERVE to stand UP on stage in those short skirts.
