She's a MONSTER! Could out-sing any man or woman in the known universe, yesterday and today. 20 studio albums, 11 Grammys, and the first female vocalist to fill stadiums! She has sung it all from country to pop to rock to blues to jazz, Spanish language, and even opera. Dig in my friend, she is a once-in-a-century artist!
YESSSSS!! I WAS WATCHING A VIDEO RECENTLY AND THE REACTOR ASKED, RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAD A CRUSH ON HER BACK IN THE 70’s. Sitting next to my wife of 53 years, I raised my hand. Ms Ronstadt is one of the classiest women and vocalist of all time.
My favourite female singer of all time. Absolutely sublime. I was lucky enough to see her live in concert twice. Amazing. No autotune, no stripping, no prancing around like an idiot, just pure raw talent.
The lovely Linda no one can touch her, she was one of the top female artists of the 70's and 80's, she did this live, no auto tune artists don't perform like this anymore. She was a pure musical genius who explored multiple musical genres and was a smashing success in all of them!
She really was incredible. Great voices are out there, but Linda Ronstadt was a student of the profession, she understood everything there is to know about singing and she sang to perfection with so much emotion, so much feel. This woman was also a great singer in rock & roll, opera, Mexican, and other genres too.
She was as great as she was beautiful and God knows she was beautiful.
Linda Ronstadt and Ann Wilson are the two greatest in rock .
My late father's favorite!! Mine also! SHE IS A LEGEND...
I grew up listening to Linda, Carly Simon and Carol King. We’ll get you educated yet Travis! Great reaction, love that you appreciate this!
Can u say perfection?! Dynamics are effortless, and heart-thrilling.
A titan in country, pop, rock, you name it, she has killed it.
Damn, I'm old enough to remember when this was playing on the radio everyday! I was only 4, but I remember it like it was yesterday! Some songs just stay with you and this is one of them!
The best female singer in contemporary music ever.
She is also a titan on Broadway. You should hear her sing Poor Wandering One from the Pirates of Penzance.
Crushed hard for that woman..........50 yrs ago, all these yrs later......she's still on my play list ❤🎙😎👌
Same.
Perfect live performance.... Linda was the best ever! That voice warms my soul
Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock. She has had so many hits such as "Blue Bayou", "You're No Good", "Long Long Time", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs.
And standards, Broadway, and largest selling non English album in US history too, no one in music has had hits across so many genres. Her Spanish albums are amazing, even for those who don’t speak Spanish
@@mic1240 Yes she is a great talent. None of the singers today can compare.
Don't forget she also starred on Broadway and the movie of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance". My understanding is that, although she had the range, she went into intensive study to understand the light opera delivery.
Dagmar, Linda also has a great Spanish album as well ! Her voice is so clear and amazing.
Now that lady is a real singer! Beautiful!
One of the finest voices in all of music ever!
My mom got to see Linda in concert in the early 90s and swears she doesn't need a microphone. 💙 from Texas!
no autotune, no smoke n mirrors...just TALENT:) Thanks for reacting...one of my faves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 10? #1!!! No one else comes close to her vocal range and versatility. Pop, Country, R&B, Rock 'n' Roll, opera and traditional Mexican.
Saw her opening for the Eagles-my first live concert…. Love her. 🦋✌🏻…. Hmmm ‘75.
Wow !
@@TeaTimeWithTravis lol yeah, i am old but blessed to have witnessed amazing music Live…..when it was ‘affordable’
I mean they was her band. Lol
Yes Travis now you've found one of my favorite singers and a great song. Love Roy Orbison doing it as well. Linda was so popular with that million dollar voice. Wore out a cassette of hers with my first player. 🦋🎶
"Blue Bayou" was originally written, sung, and recorded by Roy Orbison at the end of 1961. It must be experienced as most Roy Orbison’s masterpieces.
Linda has a gorgeous voice. I’ve seen her several times and love her dearly.
She was beautiful, tough and fierce as hell. She fought to do her music her way. She fought the studios every step of the way to perform what she wanted. She says that the reason she did the covers was to appease them so she could do the music she wanted. I just love her! When I listen to Long Long Time, it always brings a tear.
My mom is 87 and this is her favorite song thank you for reacting to it 💗 so so good
Her concerts from 1976 thru the mid '80s were legendary, and always great. By this time, arenas had excellent sound reproduction, mixboards for the different instruments and mikes, and speaker placesment for the audiences to enjoy. They could be perfect sounding - "better than the record" because of the power of seeing these performances live.
TH-cam has a good number of this era's live performances, and all are fantastic. Her band often consists of wild-haired guitarist Waddy Wachtel, the late great Kenny Edwards on bass, sometimes Andrew Gold on keys and guitar, often Russ Kunkel on drums. But all of her musicians were basically The Top Session Players for decades.
Yes! I got to see her, the Eagles and Jackson Browne at Arrowhead Stadium in 1978. That is one concert I will never forget.
@@vickiroman189 I saw her in St. Paul in 77, and in SLC in 80.
She is a Titan in so many genres of music. Not just country
One of my favorite songs of all time period.
Growing up with the music of the 60's-80's, and having heard the music of the 20's through the 50's thanks to my parents--how spoiled am I? Solid musicianship, songwriting, and performance. Granted, not everyone could reach the summits Linda hits, but many did in those eras. Those days of riding my bike with a transistor radio strapped to the handlebars, with one great tune following another--bliss!
Thank God this captured on video!
AMAZING!!!
I loved growing up listening and singing along with Linda. She was beautiful, funny and a fantastic singer. I saw her on a documentary last year. She can still sing even though she is ill. I just love her!! Great reaction, thanks!
My understanding is that she can NOT sing now. Or at least...she won't because she no longer has control over her voice. Been that way for some time now. Believe she is "retired".
@@brucedillinger9448 She can't sing well enough to perform, but "can still sing well enough to clean house."
That last note she hits is the sweetest thing I ever heard!
And she makes it seem so easy!
thanks, TT - my favorite by Linda -- this version.. she's just so CASUAL -- jeans, tank top, swayin' to the music.. and PERFECT soaring vocals..
This woman has earned 11 Grammys!! She's incredible, and has crossed many genres: rock, country, Latin, etc. She even played the lead in Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta Pirates of Penzance (opposite Kevin Kline...check it out!). Unfortunately, she is suffering from a degenerative condition and is no longer able to sing. I can't imagine how hard that must be for her! Thank you for your reaction. She is one of my faves!
her voice is mindblowing!
Travis, Please react to her duet with Aaron Neville. " Don't Know Much ".
They won a Grammy.
It’s just lovely.
Linda crossed genres (rock, country, Spanish, folk, big band. Movie soundtrack & classical). She was in demand as a duet/trio partner. I still have her original Greatest Hits album along with a couple others. Others have told you about the “Eagles” as her back up…she recorded their song “Desperado” before them & they liked her arrangement so much they kept it when they remade it.
She was honored at the Kennedy Center a few years ago. Unfortunately MS, or Parkinson’s, has taken her voice away.
Different Drum & You’re No Good are a couple of her big hits along with Desperado. She’s amazing. Thanks for giving her the attention she deserves!
Love Linda Ronstadt so much!! Her voice is like no other. Will you please react to more Linda?
"Someone to lay down beside me"
This is what great music is about. Superb 😁
I love this song! & love her, since I was a kid. Alisan Porter sang this on the voice & it was incredible, but Linda is just the best ❤
Love your shirt! Linda Ronstadt is the greatest female voice of all time. She has a forty year catalogue spanning multiple genres and she tackles each one with perfection. You won’t hear a sweeter, more powerful voice. She’s the best! “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” from this same 1977 concert is another stunner! No autotune here! 🌺✌️
I grew up on Linda Ronstadt l. I once dreamt I went to one of her concerts. As an adult I saw her in concert when she was sing Mariachi songs.
Beautiful memories of listening to this with my Dad. Thank you for sharing it 😍
She is my favorite female vocalist of all time. Her and John David Souther made such a good team.
NO autotune, fuzz or any other nonsense. Just pure, raw talent
You should hear her Spanish Album.. it’s jaw dropping..!! I am a Mexican American millennial that knows most famous Spanish artist and even though she is not well known in the Mexican music world, I can tell you she is 10xs better than most of them. She knows her singing on both sides! Love Linda! She’s one of my idols!
I had a crush on her when I was 12, and I know why! Damn! Gorgeous lady with a voice that resonates through the universe!
It's hard to believe but she is now 78 years old. I remember having a crush on her when she was in her 20s.
My favourite Linda Ronstadt is "Long Long Time". Try to react to the studio version. It describes a situation I was in many many years ago.
I love Linda Ronstadt's voice. Once you get a realization for what she can do, you'll want all the rest of her work. She has done country, rock, Mexican (her father's influence). Analyst Wings of Pegasus has done a breakdown with the equipment as to how pure her tones and notes are, how even the vibrato. It's a good look. I grew up with her music as I was in high school and college. Try Long, Long Time, You're No Good, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Heat Wave, Silver Threads and Golden Needles. Her album Canciones de mi Padre is gorgeous, if you aren't familiar with Spanish, use the translation tool. Oh and Desperado is also great, matter of fact, I don't think she ever did a bad song. She's still on my playlist from Spotify.
Fun Facts Travis...Blue Bayou was co-written by another (one of the best) vocalists...Roy Orbison. Original Ronstadt band members were Glenn Frey/Don Henley. She pushed them out of the nest and they formed a little band called the Eagles. As stated earlier...Linda was a vocal assassin working in all genres....she kinda reminds me of another young singer who does the same.....MORISSETTE!
They weren't pushed out, they "had " to room together because money was tight and they hit it off and realized each others strengths and weaknesses.
I love me some Alanis but she isn't anywhere near LInda Ronstadt all things considered.
I love this song I heard it in the movie man on fire with Denzel. Now it's just with me.
I'm old and grew up with this and yeah you're right
Excellent. Great reaction
6:30 This song is of the country-rock genre, which is rock songs played with country instruments. If there had been a group photo of those that developed the genre in the very early 70s Linda would have been front center.
Got to agree with you.she could be singing the phone book and id listen. Not hard on the eyes at all, AND THEN: she has that voice too👍😎been lovinnthis song from her for decades now.. never gets old. Just hit the sub button. Just found you today2/26/22. Nice first video for me to hear in your chann. Keep them and ill be here. Dan. A fan from north florida. Usa.🙏 ps. That last note is just too much..
Linda is one of the top 5 female performers of the twentieth century. She is that good and in many different genres. Just awesome!
Loved this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally Wonderfull !!
She is a Titan.... in many genres!
If you search the dictionary for the word awesome, you'll see Linda Ronstadt's beautiful, smiling face. I have followed her since the 70's and one thing is crystal clear; she nails every single genre she attempts. She has given the world her heart and soul, and will continue to be listened to by future generations...You can bank that!
Linda Rodstadt was an amazing singer.
😁🎵❤
Carry Underwear, uh, Underwood, sang this for Linda in 2019 for Kennedy Center Honors. it was originally Roy Orbison's song in the early 1960's. she is so much more than just country music , you cannot nail her down to one genre, as so many want to do in their need to categorize according to their own musical preferences. She is the best person to ever come out of yes, Tucson AZ. What are the qualifications for the greatest vocalist of all time? Musical preferences? skill? ability?, or popularity regardless of skill? tone quality? Musicality?...what is it? everyone is unique...I'm the greatest singer in the shower. My wife gets overwhelmed with my performance and shuts the bathroom door.... lol. Yes interpretation is VERY important and if all you do is scream like a diva over the top, you miss the whole point of music and it's many powers. Many think music is an athletic event where there are winners and losers...no thanks...I was a music teacher, all my students were winners as far as I was concerned. Try Linda singing the song "What's New?"
So soft at first, Linda's voice has, in this song. Then... "I'm going BACK some day...." Travis, did you hear that symbol crash at that moment ! Linda's voice is so smooth and so bold. It's mostly because that's who she IS. While many female vocalists sound great, ONLY a FEW have that openness in her voice like she has. I can name ONLY a few others.
AWESOME
If you want to hear how versatile a singer she is you should check out her musical theater range in "Poor Wondering One" from the movie The Pirates of Penzance.
LR... my late teen CRUSH !!!
That vocal cuts like a *knife.*
Def!
She has the top selling non-English album in USA music history.
I feel like Sublime to the cover this back in the mid-90s
Whitney Houston's I will always love you was based on Linda's cover not on the Dolly parton's original. You should check out although she never sang it live because it wasn't released as a single.
The actual song was written by and recorded by Roy Orbison back in the early sixties you should react Roy Orbison singing oh pretty woman
I second that recommendation. I've been trying to get any reactor to give him a listen. Don't know what they're missing. 😊🎶
Linda Rondstat and Karen Carpenter had THE MOST PURE voices EVER, RIP Karen and Linda cannot sing even a note anymore due to Parkinson's Disease!! I grew up with them both as my vocal idols!! I'm 60 now!😘
Superstar
Roy Obionson sang this song first. She just put her beautiful touch on this song. You need to listen to Roy sing this song. I love his version of this song, too! Open your mind to all of their beautiful voices!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Number one on that list of female singers is probably Janis Joplin you should react to her live at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967 singing ball and chain it was before she ever recorded a record her debut in front of a huge audience and they went wild they highlight Mama Cass in the audience from The Mamas & Papas
Original Billie Holliday great also catch linda's version on the Muppets
And she was a great rocker before she moved to country!
Check out Cara Mia Mine, from 1965 by Jay and the Americans.
Linda is half Latina & German. She's also bilingual.
Linda has been my favorite for 50+ years, and the only one who is her equal is Angelina Jordan, who can sing any genre as well
I could say a hundred good things about AJ's singing, but Linda's equal is not one of them. She's different, awesome, and I'd put her way ahead of many more accomplished singers on my own list, but not up with Linda and a few other GOAT mentions.
This is a cover as well. For the original you need to find Roy Orbison.
Kinda sorta Country. She's a dividing line, folk and country and rock, and led to a lot of other artists who tread that middleground too. I forget who said it (it was probably either Glenn Frey or Don Henley) but her biggest problem appeared to be pretty much every man she met falling in love with her.
And no knock on Carrie, she really can't touch this.
Carrie should just never even have ever tried. Hahaha.
This is a Roy Orbison cover. Not taking anything away from Linda, just trying to give credit to Roy.
Could you please do Christmas Truce or Soldier of Heaven?
The difference between Carrie and Linda is that Carrie is a one dimensional studio creation. Where as Linda is multi dimensional and it showed in her music ; different genres she chose and succeeded in recording and performing (rock, country, latin, folk, RB, orchestral). Not an insult ,but Carrie has nothing on her.
Carrie is definitely not a one dimensional studio creation. She often times sounds better on her live performances than she does her studio versions.
This is not the place to bash Carrie. Its a place to enjoy Linda :)
Their have been many greats, but none like her.
No: THE best.
try Heart
Check out Long Long Time.
She’s in the Top 5, easy. But she’s not really a country performer. She crossed over from rock but even that somewhat mistaken. She has done and succeeded in many genres.
You're listening to artist from my ara.
You insult Linda by calling her a Titan of "Country Music". By saying that you have put a 'qualifier' where there should be none.
She is a 'Titan of Music". Period.
She has won 13 Grammys. Only three of them were in a "Country" category. Hell, she has more Grammys for Foreign Language categories than she does for Country. She was nominated another 16 times and only one of those were for a "Country" category.
Country singer, my ass!
(I'm not really angry)
My husband thought she was the greatest. I agreed.
Why do you people keep listening to live songs when there are superb studio versions to listen to.
haha top 10?
try top 1
not opinion, check out the awards, hits, and genre
Underwood des alot of yelly screamy things
She wasn't country
