Willie Nelson said that there are two types of men in this world. The ones who are in love with Linda Ronstadt and the ones who don’t know her.
100% this. He isn't wrong.
That’s is a true statement 100% 👍🙏👣
June CarterCash didn't like the short dress or Linda's flirting when she appeared the second time on the Johnny Cash show
@@davidtullis2810 June should have been paying more attention to her husband and sister at the time rather than worrying about Linda.
@@davidtullis2810 that’s funny
What I love about this performance is Linda was told not to hug him at the end of the performance, so they kissed instead.
They were good friends IRL...
Seriously? Because he’s black? Ugh I hate this world
@@sweetkiss119 Really? Is that true? I'm glad Linda told them where to go lol Aaron's voice, man, what a voice. It's great when two such talented voices come together like this. It's also rare. The only other time I can remember where it's this good is Elizabeth Frasier and Jeff Buckley for All Flowers in Time Bend Towards The Sun.
@@XercesandAlexander yes in the 80’s and 90’s they didn’t want white stars kissing black stars cause they said middle America wasn’t ready for that kinda thing. Screw them!!
@@XercesandAlexander And Lionel Richie and Diana Ross singing Endless Love! Also Christal Gayle and Eddie Rabbit singing Just you and I !😀
Nonsense...they were a couple for years.
Aaron and Linda weren't a couple, just close friends who respected each other's enormous talents. They just did not care what anyone thought about a Black man and a White woman singing a love duet, dancing together, and hugging and kissing at the end. This was genuine affection between two great performers.
Greatest duet ever, two fantastic voices at their best . Aaron was so underrated .
Aaron Neville is a great solo artist and also part of a family group called "The Neville Brothers". His version of the songs "Tell It Like It Is" and "Ave Maria" as just beautiful. Linda can literally sing anything. Both are/were so talented.
Absolutely beautiful songs by him for sure... just a uniquely amazing voice! ❤
Truly he has. A. Good voice but Linda Ronstadt was being kind. She has awards in opera, Spanish and rockin roll
Aaron's "Ave Maria" is indeed incredible. And it was Linda who arranged the music to perfectly fit his voice.
Aaron Neville is from New Orleans.
Born and raised in New Orleans, the Neville brothers and Aaron Neville are a part of my childhood, and life, forever.
Aarons version of Ave Maria was playing during my walk down the aisle.
One of the best Neville brothers songs, in my humble opinion is, washable ink.
They weren't in love, they were in love with singing together, they did a total of 4 duets on her "Cry Like a Rain Storm, Howl Like the Wind" album. All of them are phenomenal tracks.
Aaron Neville was such a a big man but such a gentle soul
I DONT KNOW MUCH ❣️❣️❣️
Yes, Britt, an athelete. In an old 'celebrity' magazine, he was once described as, ". . . body of a wrestler, voice of an angel."
Knew you would love this. This was at the grammy's and apparently the producers were a little worried about the reaction a "mixed" couple might get so Linda made a point of kissing Aaron coz Linda don't take no sh*t. They weren't lovers but simply had huge respect and affection for each other. They did 4 duets on Linda's album 'cry like a rainstorm, howl like the wind'. It shows Linda at her absolute best and if you love a choir, and i suspect you do, you really would enjoy the whole album. Thanks for this one, Britt. Loved it. ❤
actually they were a couple.
I recall that Linda and Aaron were a couple for awhile….like for a few years in the late 80’s/early 90’s.
Actually, I just read that they were in a romantic relationship that ended in 1992. She and Aaron were dubbed the "First Couple of Pop Music".
Yes...THE CHOIR! On this album it was THE OAKLAND INTERFAITH GOSPEL CHOIR. I have seen them perform at least 17 times live and, let me tell you, they are TOP NOTCH. Linda was their special guest once around the time she released Cry Like A Rainstorm...and she was so humble to be performing with them. ✌
Linda has a beautiful amazing range of texture in her voice. Aaron is also out of this world. A stellar performance.
Aaron’s unique voice conceals how powerful it is.
Yes, Aaron is that good. The most impressive for me is two people who both sing with vibrato singing in perfect harmony.
I’ve heard Linda talk about Aaron. She said he sang like an angel. She has such a high regard for his singing.
They were not lovers,just artists that admire each other's work and good friends.
There are 5 Neville brothers, and they are an outstanding R&B Soul group...
Aaron- Louisiana born & raised!!
What a voice & a big ol teddy bear in real life! ❤️
Very perceptive at the end noting how Linda modulated her voice perfectly to match Aaron's (knowing she could sing the chandeliers off the ceiling if she wanted to). And please let's recognize the brilliance of the writing, another banger by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil who have spent the last 60 years writing some of the most beautiful songs ever.
Yes!! Mann & Weil have over 600 songs spanning 5 decades (mostly together as they are married), including the Ronstadt & Ingram duet Somewhere Out There.
Barry also wrote You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin.
@@TheDivayenta He and his wife Cynthia wrote it.
I get major goosebumps every time I hear Linda Ronstadts voice. Her musical biography (those she’s written for etc…) is absolutely Incredible! ♥️🎶♥️ SO MUCH RESPECT!
Aaron Neville is one of the greatest singers of our time!!!
Linda keeps her harmony softer than Aaron's lead by just the right amount, and then gets louder when she takes lead. It's like a beautiful vocal dance.
One of the most beautiful duets. Both have fabulous voices. Also check out Linda's first big hit in 1967 "Different Drum" with The Stone Poneys. Other hits were "Hurt So Bad", "You're No Good", "Long Long Time", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado", Tracks Of My Tears" etc.
Aaron is just that good. He is the real deal as well! Aaron & Linda did a handful of duets together appearing on each others albums every now and then. The two of them together, it just doesn't get any better. For real. 😊
He guest-starred on her 1989 album "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind." Another big hit duet of theirs from the album was "All My Life" (which became a big wedding song), and they also dueted on the gorgeous song "When Something is Wrong with My Baby." They weren't a real-life couple. Aaron and his brothers (as The Neville Brothers), out of New Orleans, had hits going back to the '60s. Aaron with his amazing vibrato was rediscovered and came on strong again in the '80s and '90s (which prompted the pairing with Linda).
This is one of the most awesome duets I’ve ever heard (and I’m 66 years old). The harmonies are just sensational! Lindaa is so careful not let her powerful voice overshadow Aaron’s beautifully gentle tones. Pure perfection!
Let's face it, everyone loved Linda. And Aaron Neville is just that good. Check him out, and the Neville Brothers as well.
I am so happy you have discovered Aaron Neville..his voice is sublime!
He sang with his brothers for yrs…still is I’m sure. Bird on a Wire is just
stunning, Britt, you would love it! Linda and him dueted a few times and
each time was fire. Thank you for this! Peace and Love from 🇨🇦
Musical Magic! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Linda lived down here in New Orleans and so did he. Always loved that song. They were both great artist and he is a legend down here and he has some brothers and sister that are also musicians.
I think Britt is starting to realize how versatile Linda was.
Oh yeah. Loved Aaron too.
They are so wonderful together - and Aaron's singing always makes my eyes cloudy... ❤
One of the best duets of all time! I could watch it a 1000 times!
I love this man's voice. Could listen to him all day long.
Aaron Neville is a vocal GOD in my eyes. I cry everytime i hear this song, its so beautiful !!!!
could you please try Aaron Neville ...
don't take away my heaven!
Aaron's voice was unique and Linda's was among the best female voices in all recorded music. Separately, they were both headliners...but together, the blend was pure magic. Although "Don't Know Much" was most popular, two more of their duets are just as beautiful: "All My Life" ( th-cam.com/video/PcC5N13D3_Y/w-d-xo.html ) and "Please Remember Me" ( th-cam.com/video/4H-wZQv-qUo/w-d-xo.html ). This rendition of "Please Remember Me" is somewhere in my lifetime Top 5 list of all popular music.
“Ave Maria” by Aaron Neville is absolutely breathtaking ❤
Aaron has a band with his brothers "The Neville Brothers" and they are my favorite band of all time. Their whole Yellow Moon album is perfection. And yes he is football player muscle-y. I was backstage at 1 show & walked past Aaron who was wearing a sleeveless shirt and I can tell you that man was BUFF. Like his arms were bigger around than my thighs!
They were actually asked to "sell it" and they were both kind of apprehensive about it. Apparently Aaron Neville's wife, who was in the audience, told him they really should sell it. Such a beautiful performance, they certainly snared me. I am sure that these two artists do actually love each other deeply, just not in the way the song sounds.
Actually, no. It was a different time. There was a video for the song where they very, very mildly "sold it." I haven't seen it in decades but I don't think they even touched. Nonetheless, there was racist hatemail after it came out. In a later interview, Linda said the suits called her into the office before this performance & told her there was to be no "selling it" between she, a white woman, & he, a black man. She said, as she left the office, she thought, "Oh, yeah? Watch this!" I imagine Aaron's wife would have agreed or Linda wouldn't have done it. But you are right that they loved & respected each other as artists & friends.
@@MizCriz46 Incorrect, but I'm not going to argue it any. I watched the performance in real time. There was no uproar. That is a current day trend to say there is controversy when there is not any.
@@catserver8577 There would be no controversy today. But it was 1989. 34 years ago things were different. Believe it or not, the country was far more benighted than it is today. I was 42 years old (same as Linda) & a fan of both. No, there was no "uproar" at the performance. But there had been hate mail (actual letters in those days) & phone calls about the video. There was, indeed, controversy which is why Linda was asked about it in an interview much (years) later. She did say she was told, in effect, hands off & that she thought to herself, "Oh, yeah? Watch this."
Precisely, Love out of mutual respect of each others ability to sing and perform.
@@MizCriz46 It was 1989 and they were at an industry Awards Show. The fact that she didn't heed the advice you're talking about - and nobody cared - just proves the point. Don't paint this as some brave social breakthrough. They sang a wonderful duet and embraced afterwards. The affection was real. If there was some bozo backstage telling them keep apart - it sure wasn't anyone with clout. I guarantee you that every awards show got angry mail for all sorts of dumb reasons. Now complainers can complain in real-time about insignificant things. Gotta love social media. :)
Linda is so good a singer if you didn't catch it she matched his vibrato towards the end (5:20 on) making it blend insanely. This was beautiful. Favorite Linda story; she decided to do a Latin music album, the label said it would ruin her career, she then went on to make the album and all it did was become the biggest selling Latin music album in American history. Take that label LOL. The Neville Bros. had some really good music as well. Linda and Aaron were good friends that's all.
Another incredible duet of an amazing song by true professionals in perfect harmony. Aaron's "It feels like rain" is not a song to be missed!
Bob Dylan said Aaron Neville is his favorite singer. His song "Tell It Like It Is" is a must-listen. He also sang with his brothers.
I remember every time he came on the radio it was instant recognition. Then came the swooning. He was such a beautiful man.
One of the greatest duets in music history…Aaron voice here is other worldly
It's always a pleasure to hear AARON NEVILLE . Love your fabulous reviews lots of true soul within you .
Loved their friendship. Amazing duet.
The Neville brothers are LEGENDS.
I’ve always loved his voice and it matches so well with Linda! Thanks 👵🏼☮️💜
This brought such tears 😭 to my eyes. My husband and I loved it so. Incredibly beautiful, it perfectly expresses the deep love we've shared for 42 years. He was my big strong guy with a tender heart of gold and I was the only woman in the world. My husband's early onset dementia means those glorious memories are all mine now and it's happy tears when I am transported back to our days of youth and golden love. Treasure those you love, life is so short. Love is forever.
Aaron Neville has the voice of an angel. He and his brothers are Louisiana natives. Some of my favorite songs of his:
"Everybody Plays the Fool"
"Louisiana 1927" (about the Great Mississippi flood that killed nearly a million people in LA and MS)
"Angola Bound" (Angola is a notorious Louisiana prison)
"Somewhere, Somebody"
"All My Life" (another duet with Linda)
"Warm Your Heart"
"I Bid You Goodnight"
And with his brothers: "Tell It Like It Is" and "Bird on a Wire" and "Brother John / Iko Iko / Jambalaya" (a medley)
In answer to your question, they did have a relationship that ended in 1992. Today, she has little voice due to illness. Those gorgeous notes will never again tickle her throat. We ost a true talent from the stage and will miss her. So glad you saw what they once had together. :D
BRITT I'M SO HAPPY YOU GOT THIS ONE. ISN'T IT AMAZING AND NEVILLE CAN DO BEAUTIFUL ON HIS SOLO. BUT TOGETHER WHAT MAGIC.❤❤ THANK YOU..
Totally got chills watching this again!
I met all of the Neville Brothers when I worked at Tower Records in the French Quarter in the 90's. Jim
I can't believe you haven't heard Aaron Neville. Both of these singers are fantastic.
When they finished recording this in the studio, Aaron said to Linda “I’ll see you at the Grammys”. He knew it was going to be a winner
I don't know much but I know this is absolutely beautiful and the words in this song ring out true
🔥🔥🔥 and so are the words of your reaction, Britt 😊😊😊
I see what you did there. Well played sir
Amazing performance aaron neville is an amazing singer earth angel and bird on a wire are equally amazing performances
Linda gave love another shot with Aaron in 1989. The music icon and the R&B and soul vocalist recorded a handful of duets together throughout their relationship
The Neville Brothers of New Orleans are legends of soul music!!! All the ladies adored Aaron. ❤😊 A couple more great ones:
James Ingram and Patti Austin: Baby, Come to Me
Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack- I Celebrate My Love ( 70’s?)
Ingram and Linda on Somewhere Out There from An American Tail. ❤
Just for starters! ❤We had the great love songs!!!
Aaron’s big solo hit was Tell It Like It Is. ❤
When Linda was in New Orleans she attended a show with the Neville Brothers and Aaron was encouraged to call her up. Afterwards when they recorded the song, Aaron told her he would see her at the Grammys and this was from that show. When the song won the Grammy he thanked Linda first and she had to remind him he should thank his wife as well.
Perhaps one of my all time favorites .... Besides I LOVE each individually ❣️❣️❣️😍
One of the greatest duets ever. Linda was opera trained.
Linda would retrain her voice when she wanted to tackle a new genre because the demands on the voice are different but she had no formal training as an opera singer.
From what I've seen in interviews they had a very special friendship. Beautiful song.
I've always loved that song. Those lyrics are so amazing "I don't know much, but I know I love you...and that may be all I need to know".
Both beautifu/talented people. I grew up listening to both. I M 73RS OLD & STILL A GREAT FAN.
I had forgotten how much I loved his voice..
Thank you for bringing this back to me
Beautiful performance, great reaction!
One of the best duets ever!
The Neville Brothers are a New Orleans phenomenon. I remember seeing Aaron Neville for the first time and I had the same reaction "he looks like a bouncer" Here is this big burly man and then he begins to sing and he has the voice of an angel. It is so gentle, passionate and the love he's expressing is almost palpable. This is one of my favorite duets, simply perfect.
2 of the greatest singers of our time ❤
Aaron Neville has a wonderful voice. One of my favorite songs by him is "Everybody Plays the Fool". Linda Ronstadt has done everything from country to pop to rock to opera. Check out "Poor Wandering One" from THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. She also put out an album in Spanish, celebrating her father's Mexican heritage. Her last name is German and goes back to a male ancestor who came to North America from Germany several generations back. Her voice is so beautiful and she sang songs from nearly every genre, which really makes my heart break to know how her health has deteriorated. Now she is unable to sing at all. Patsy Cline will always be my favorite female singer, but Linda is definitely my next fav. We are so fortunate to have her recordings.
One of the greats of all time Aaron Neville - and who doesn't love Linda Ronstadt. I think they were obviously great friends with great respect for each other.
The look ... The Passion was real They were very good friends...
I remember watching this during the original broadcast and thought this was one of the best duets I had ever heard.
Aaron Neville has the voice of a angel!
One of the best duets of all time!
Yey, I thought you'd get to this one - what a duet! The Neville Brothers, "Everybody Plays the Fool" and many other hits....
Aawww, takes me back! Aaron and Linda are amazing!!! ❤❤
This was my wedding waltz song and 30 years later we are still feel the same ❤❤❤😊
You're just like me as I was truly wondering if these two had some type of secret relationship that we didn't know about. LOL! This was such a beautiful duet, one of the best I've ever heard as both voices blended together so well.
Aaron Neville is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaron is THAT dude . his voice is one of a kind
Neville is a physical beast, but his voice is so gentle and welcoming. Linda was almost out of her comfort range trying to accommodate his voice and its ridiculous upper register. the guy is a freak of nature, Linda was amazing, was a great performance. a good one to show in this day and age.
Linda is in the top 3 voices of all time.. Fight me.
I remember that performance. It was magical even in black and white with mono sound.
This beautiful, sappy song was a huge hit!
Great reaction to stunning duet performance by two of the most extraordinary singers of the all time! That said I believe it would be worth your time to ALSO react to the official music video of this song. In it you can really hear how outstanding these two vocalists are. I truly enjoy watching your reaction videos and I look forward to seeing more.
This is my favorite duet of all time. Both outstanding singers! If you'd like another surprise, listen to "The Grand Tour" which was a country hit by George Jones and covered by Aaron Neville. It will knock your socks off. He sang it for a tribute to George Jones, with George in the crowd and they went crazy!
Linda Ronstadt did a whole album featuring him on many of the songs. It is a beautiful album. It's called, "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Cry Like the Wind". Listen to it. They were not in a relationship, but they made you believe it, which is their job! Everyone thought Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were in love when they sang "Shallow" on the Oscars, but it was just great acting and performing.
They had rummers flying for sure. Extraordinary performance. Vulnerability in song.
Possibility The Best Love Song EVER
All my life is another great song they did together..... It's worth watching
I'll bet you'd love hearing James Ingram and Linda Ronstadt singing "Somewhere Out There" from the 1986 animated film 'An American Tail' too, it's pretty dreamy.🎶
Neville’s voice was like a viola, or violin. Linda’s voice is like an oboe. Together this is a stunning performance.
Oh my this was so beautiful in the day and still is smooth soothing flowing ❤😮
I too can feel pure love when I listen to this performance and to see the way they gaze at one another makes me weep. As a native New Orleanian I'm blessed to have grown up with Aaron and The Neville Brothers. They were a couple from 1989 to 1992. The mix of Aaron's vibrato and Linda's falsetto makes this song pure perfection. Music brings all people together, and this song is a great example of that. If you don't feel something when you watch this performance you may want to have your pulse checked!
They are friends. Great duet. I just love this song.
Their performance of this song is definitely swoon worthy.
He is from my home town of New Orleans..You should check out more of Linda and Aaron's duets..All are beautiful..
This was immediately 🔥❤️🔥🔥 with radio and retail back in the day! It was a touching and convincing performance. An ideal pairing, vocally, as it turned out.
Linda was a master at singing harmonies
