Aaron and Linda became close friends and they both wanted to do more songs together, however Linda started showing symptoms of her neurological disorder, especially vocally. She was forced to cut her career short. Aaron has stated that Linda is his favorite singing partner, his duet soulmate!
Linda Ronstadt was so secure she love lifting up other singers, women, or men and songwriters. She loved collaborating. She did it with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris as Trio.
Aaron is a once-in-a-lifetime artist and Linda wanted to help him stake his claim. What is even more beautiful than his voice, is her generosity. She was internationally famous, and one of the most successful vocalists of all time, but she yielded to him so she could help him shine. The same thing with her band that became The Eagles!
She wanted to make sure that everyone knew his voice was amazing. And it absolutely was! Her big heart for this singer opened many doors for him. Both of these two are stunning performers in their own right. Gotta love it!
They got the same Grammy award the following year for "All My Life"! Back to back pop duet awards are RARE!! Please follow up with their "2nd Act"!! ❤️❤️❤️
Linda's a grrreeaat voice and a great live performer.This song is a moving tune beautiful.Official video is also sweet and tender.Aaron's voice in this performance is also vulnerable and captivating.They both sound so disarming.
Linda Ronstadt gave Aaron Neville a huge leg up into the mainstream. She's been a very generous artist for many years. She also did a duet with James Ingram that's flat out gorgeous, called Somewhere Out There.
I highly recommend you play some of Linda's Mexican music. It shows her off at another entirely different level. La Charreada is a good place to start.
That song was featured in an episode on a recently streamed series "The Last of Us" that drew 4 million viewers.Linda was "trending." So pleased to see a new generation discover her.
They were fans of each other & wanted to record together. Linda said that it didn't work until they both went into their upper registers. Then, as we can hear, it was magic.
Two of my favorite voices EVER, such a childhood throwback, Aaron kinda has the same versatility as Linda to crossover to different genres, i LOVE his voice singing country music, maybe check out a song called "The Grand Tour" and i think you'll see what i mean, he's awesome.
Watching this again. Your reactions to Linda are wonderful. A little story about the "well-deserved" kiss. It was a different time. They had made an official video with the song. It's been decades since I saw it but I remember a sort of slow, mildly suggestive hide & seek among sheets on a clothesline moving in the breeze. I don't think they actually even touched but there was racist hatemail. A black man & a white woman!? Horrors! When they won the Grammy, the suits called Linda in before the performance & told her they didn't want any demonstrations of affection to go along with the love song. Linda said she left the office thinking, "Oh, yeah? Watch this!"
This is a good version but I feel the studio version is better- it still holds up Neville but it does a much better job of showcasing Linda’s voice. She REALLY held back in this performance. Thanks for your reactions.
For a more young rocking Linda listen to When Will I be Loved and Willin' (live in Germany 1976), Tumblin Dice & You're No Good, (live Atlanta 1977), and finally Ooh Baby Baby which will melt you. The thing about Linda is that she made others' songs her own.
I just stumbled onto your channel...Linda is my absolute favorite and I'm glad you're showcasing all the talent that is Linda. Her cover of The Rolling Stones "Tumbling Dice" rocks.
This is such a lovely performance! Their voices together are heavenly. Linda could overpower just about anyone with her stunning voice but she kept her ego in check and it enabled her to sing with some amazing partners over the years. Keep these LR songs coming. There’s a huge catalogue to explore. Love your channel. 🌺✌️
This i s one of my all time favorite songs. Aaron's right up there with Freddie & David. Please check him out. He did more duets with Linda , including All My Life & has many solo albums. He also sings with his brothers as The Neville Brothers. I had the privilege of seeing them in concert years ago, simply amazing. They're all wonderful & harmonize beautifully.
Yes that is Aaron Neville for you, referred to the voice of an angel , not to mention Linda Ronstadt on another level!!! Never get enough of him, gladly saw him for the last time again in 2018, shortly after he retired.
HBK Luke, I think you would love Linda Ronstadt's song "The Dolphins" it's so beautiful and her voice is also. Also her version of 'Birds" is beautiful, they are both ballads. There is so much to hear from Linda!
Their voices will melt your heart. AARON is in a group with his family, Neville Brothers. The crowd went nuts!! Prayers for Linda, she is unable to perform any more due to major medical issues.
My best friend was about 20 years older then me..he introduced me to Linda...she is such a versatile singer..she even sings in spanish..Aaron Nevils voice is like butter.
Willie Nelson has said there are two kinds of guys. (1) Those who are in love with Linda Ronstadt and (2) those that have never heard her sing. You and I are clearly in category 1.
The story goes that after they recorded this in the studio, Aaron turned to Linda as he left and said, "See you at the Grammys." Yeah. If you want to hear more of Aaron at his tender best, look for "It Feels Like Rain," live 1991.
I am an oldie who lived thru these wonderful acts. I saw Linda perform back when she was barefoot. I have loved her from day 1. I have her albums which my granddaughter is begging to have my entire rock collection. They're hers. What kills me about Linda is, the horrendous disease she currently has. So many magnificent artists have no children. Yes, Linda adopted, but they're not her DNA. Her mom preached against marriage. She did a great disservice to us all. For that talent to not be passed down is a sin. Early on she was with JD Souther. That could have been a great pairing. Knowing who & what she was & where she she is now, kills me. Thanks for educating the young.
In your journey of discovering the magic of Linda, React to Linda Ronstadt & Mariachi Vargas - La Charreada it is a live version of a song from her Canciones de Mi Padre album a tribute to her Mexican heritage. She is incredible in any language.
Both Linda and Neville are able to color their voices. You can hear the love, want and need for the other in each word they sing. Linda's classic "Long, Long Time" has made a well deserved resurgence due to HBO's "The Last of Us" in it Linda colors heartache into each word she sings. You should give it a try.
Aaron has a band with his brothers, called "The Neville Brothers" & they're pretty much my favorite band of all time. I've seen them live more than any other artist. Their album, 'Yellow Moon' is absolute perfection if you want somewhere to start.
Another good one that gives me a similar impact is a duet by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel 'Don't give up' and also a duet from 1980 by Olivia Newton John and Cliff Richard 'SUDDENLY" that also has a kiss in the lips near the end.
Luke, our lovely Linda can sung it all! Have you heard her sing in Spanish with a mariachi band? Yes!!! She has Hispanic blood. Check out this incredible performance. You won't believe it. Here's the link, th-cam.com/video/R-k4eEStQa0/w-d-xo.html
if you think Linda sounds good you need to check out the three albums she did over the decades with two of her best friends Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. if you know anything about those two then the idea of all three of them together should blow your mind.
What I absolutely love about this is that you can see Linda dial down the power to compliment Aaron. Total respect showed ❤️
Oh yes, she really dialed it down. Too much for my taste, but she knows best.
I thought there was one more Linda verse, with more power shining through.
Mayby truncated for the show....
Yes!

He was extremely nervous. She was comforting him.
Aaron and Linda became close friends and they both wanted to do more songs together, however Linda started showing symptoms of her neurological disorder, especially vocally. She was forced to cut her career short. Aaron has stated that Linda is his favorite singing partner, his duet soulmate!
Linda sang 4 duets with Aaron on his own albums, worth listening to.
I just love the way their voices bounce off of each other. So sweet.
Linda Ronstadt was so secure she love lifting up other singers, women, or men and songwriters. She loved collaborating. She did it with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris as Trio.
You are so right. One of my favorite duets is the lesser known "Bed of Roses" with Moondi Klein of Chesapeake. She soars!
Linda once said that she preferred to be a backup singer, which is so ironic since she has such amazing pipes!
@@lavender_granny Think she was hard-wired to sing with others because of singing with her brother, sister and extended family since childhood.
Always loved this song..2 angels singing.
This is a beautiful song and they are a perfect duet.
Aaron is a once-in-a-lifetime artist and Linda wanted to help him stake his claim. What is even more beautiful than his voice, is her generosity.

I loved watching YOUR face while experiencing this video.

They're so beautiful together
Linda told Aaron "I will sing with you anywhere, anytime, in any key'.
The Neville family is New Orleans music royalty. Please check out more of Aaron’s music and also The Neville Brothers.
"Tell it Like it Is" one of his biggest hits from the 60s
Linda did a great duet with James Ingram in Somewhere Out There.
This song was our wedding waltz 30 years ago and we still feel the same, our love has grown deeper ❤ ♥ ❤😊
OMG!!!! You’re playing one of my top five duets in all the world!!!!!
Linda is an all time great ❤ Linda is so beautiful
Linda Ronstadt’s live cover Tumbling Dice will blow your mind.
Sooo gorgeous. Omg
They did four songs together on Linda’s “ cry, like a rainstorm Howl like the wind” album 👍
And also some on Aaron Neville's own albums.
Linda's a grrreeaat voice and a great live performer.This song is a moving tune beautiful.Official video is also sweet and tender.Aaron's voice in this performance is also vulnerable and captivating.They both sound so disarming.
I love his vioe
Listen to Linda Ronstadt do "When You Wish upon a Star" on the Johnny Carson show: Outstanding!
Luke, I am loving looking back on how much I have always loved Linda through hearing you react to her music. I'm so glad you love her too.
Go for "Long, Long Time" next. It's currently getting a lot of attention from being used on HBO's Last of Us. I think it could send people your way.
What a brilliant performance! It's heart rendering I absolutely love it❤ they just have it! Those were the good days❤

Like your reactions to Linda's songs. 👍🏻
I highly recommend you play some of Linda's Mexican music. It shows her off at another entirely different level. La Charreada is a good place to start.
I believe this was filmed at the Grammy Awards. I was watching it live!
Aaron Neville can really bring it, and Linda . . . is always exquisite.
Eloquent appreciation of the song and performance, thank you!
For Linda Ronstadt, don’t forget “Long, Long Time .”
My favorite by her.
That song was featured in an episode on a recently streamed series "The Last of Us" that drew 4 million viewers.Linda was "trending." So pleased to see a new generation discover her.
Que dos voces tan diferentes y que bien armonizadas..
Que delicadeza
They were fans of each other & wanted to record together. Linda said that it didn't work until they both went into their upper registers. Then, as we can hear, it was magic.
If you want to see Linda really shine watch her and Smokey Robinson sing Ooh Baby Baby .
Loved your reaction.
🙌
Two of my favorite voices EVER, such a childhood throwback, Aaron kinda has the same versatility as Linda to crossover to different genres, i LOVE his voice singing country music, maybe check out a song called "The Grand Tour" and i think you'll see what i mean, he's awesome.
just woooow... melody, romanticism .. uffff vibration of Aaron kills us... awesome , stunning ..
This was a performance at The Grammys(I believe).The song won ,"best Song Of the Year"(maybe).These two did several duets together.
Check out her rendition of “Heart Like a Wheel.” 😊
Linda and Aaron sang this live on BBC Top of the Pops.
Lush Life is a album by Linda that is a collection of great big band tunes that is worth a listen.
Watching this again. Your reactions to Linda are wonderful. A little story about the "well-deserved" kiss. It was a different time. They had made an official video with the song.

This is a good version but I feel the studio version is better- it still holds up Neville but it does a much better job of showcasing Linda’s voice. She REALLY held back in this performance. Thanks for your reactions.
Some people have suggested it was partly the mixing; that things seemed to improve in the second half may attest to it. I'm not sure.
His first hit "Tell it Like it Is" is wonderful original and new version.
For a more young rocking Linda listen to When Will I be Loved and Willin' (live in Germany 1976), Tumblin Dice & You're No Good, (live Atlanta 1977), and finally Ooh Baby Baby which will melt you. The thing about Linda is that she made others' songs her own.

A really good song to react to for Linda is Desperado. MAGNIFICENT!! OOPS just saw that you already did!! 😁
This is such a lovely performance! Their voices together are heavenly.

One of the best ever love songs!
They have a real admiration for each other!

*Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram - Somewhere Out There*
They all so do duet together all my life is the best
Really good analysis of a monumentally great live duet.
Great review of the performance and the underlying emotions!
This is a perfect duet....you wanto to fall in love

I love all of Linda’s music and also Aaron’s, who I had never heard until this song was released. Thanks so much for reacting to it.
If you haven’t already, you need to listen to La Cigarra by Linda. Her vocals will blow your mind!
They won a Grammy for this song and another one the next year. He and Linda were good friends and he was married to someone else. Lovely ❤
Love that song!
My best friend was about 20 years older then me..he introduced me to Linda...she is such a versatile singer..she even sings in spanish..Aaron Nevils voice is like butter.

Aaron as lead singer for The Neville Brothers is must-see ! The Official vid of “Yellow Moon” would be a nice start.

You really need to listen to Different Drum by Stone Poneys, written by a very famous guy from a 60s group. Its awesome ❤
Linda sings lead vocals btw
Don't think I've ever seen your face as animated as during this reaction! Must be a good song!
Luke, our lovely Linda can sung it all! Have you heard her sing in Spanish with a mariachi band? Yes!!! She has Hispanic blood. Check out this incredible performance. You won't believe it. Here's the link,

I recommed the song" that's what friends are for " by dionne warwick stevie wonder. Elthon jhon..
Someone told me Linda said of their duet that he could sing with a typewriter and sound good. If it's not true, then it should be.
Thank you señor!!!
Good spot another classic x

You should definitely check out some Neville Brothers songs.
