I recently heard an interview with Linda Rhonstadt & she says she LOVES TH-cam! I thought I was the only one. I LOVE watching her perform as well as hearing her hit all those notes PERFECTLY! I am disabled with lupus, scoliosis & just had open heart surgery to replace a mitral valve. It’s tough being house bound & really not feeling well enough to go anywhere. I play Linda Rhonstadt a lot of the day! I prefer you-tube because I’m a visual person. THANK YOU LINDA for all the joy you give today & in the past! God Blessed us with you! 💞💞💞
I am very glad you know the power music has on mood and mental health. I have used music to get through various extended times of being ill. I recently saw an interview with her, too- she is fantastic. She's so sweet and childlike in a fun way. It is a shame she isn't able to sing any longer- she described singing as feeling like skiing very fast. It made her so happy, I feel so bad that was taken away from her. I'm sure she's dealing with it better than me!
My all-time favorite artist. My dad and I would sing to her songs when I was a young girl. Tribute to my veteran father, 7 years gone today. Never forgotten always loved.
So there are probably countless of us out here, Judy. It makes for me a really nice group to know exists. Heads on straight (in this sector anyway!). We likely have turned on lots of other folks to this exceptional person. She reminds me to focus entirely on whatever I'm doing at the time, always try for excellence and you might get surprised.
01/09/24 still listening to & loving Linda Ronstadt! This is when singers really sang, music was really music, not computer generated. Linda is still as beautiful as she always was. So glad to see Ruby Leigh on The Voice, sing a real artist’s song.
Blue Bayou fits more now with 2020 2021 then it ever did. The yearning for things to be back to a better sweet day where dreams came true. Gosh I miss so many friends and loved ones only to live to see the country fighting and sickness. Linda you take me to a peaceful place. 💋
One of the greatest voices of our time! Her music will live on for generations. Thank you, Linda, for sharing your diverse work over the decades with the world.
I'll never understand the jerks who hoot, holler and applaud during any artist's performance. Wait till it's over and then let it all hang out...but don't ruin the song, please.
Happy Valentines Day....sweet Linda. I've loved your songs ever since the 1970's when I was a teenager in school. Love, respect and admire you! Blessings/Bendiciones!!!!
I grew up listening to Linda Ronstadt (at 77, she's just 3 months older than me) and unfortunately, we now share the same debilitating disease, a rare form of Parkinson's Disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. PSP stole her voice and today she is in a wheelchair and requires an around-the-clock caretaker. But thank God we will forever have her voice, that powerful instrument with a vocal range that defies definition. She sang everything from rock, to ballads, to light opera. Her album with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, featuring songs from the 1940s, is priceless. God bless you, sweet lady.
I’m Chinese. I didn’t know who sang the song I don’t know much until now. That’s my favorite song when I was in middle school and is still. I watched a video knowing the Linda is sick and I’m sorry to know you also have this disease. Be strong. Fortunately we have music around us. Linda is not only a great musician but also she is humous and wise. Love her more now.
Well said brother and hope one day they can no longer say 'incurable'. You both have 3 yrs on me. Been her fan since '67. Linda Maria Ronstadt's music followed me through young adulthood USAF (late '69-'73) and beyond to right now. Saw your 1st Cav emblem and Tet mentioned. Was Nam Era but only stateside mobile readiness then. However I know who to mutually respect and say "welcome home".
Welcome Home Brother. You said a mouthful. And I learned a lot. I was not aware she had developed PSP. I will be 77 in August, and all of her music is outstanding. I was a navy corpsman with 1stReco1stMarDiv 1969 Marble Mountain. I have PD also, though not what you have, it has its ups and downs. Bless you.
Linda Ronstandt, As stated earlier, A classy lady, pure talent. She sat a table away from me In Mexico. A dear from high school flew us down for her son wedding. Wow. what a glorious trip. Linda Was gracious, smiles, greats warmly. We toasted Eachother as we ate breakfast. Made my day. Thanks for sharing.
when she sang Long, Long Time I thought it was the most beautiful, sad song I ever heard! It probably still is. I felt the pain & heartache she must've been going through. Such a great talent!
Linda was my my awakening to music. However this album is just ok. So many more wonderful songs she shined with. Thanks Linda saw you 3x the best was in Kansas City KS in 1973. Still the best concert of my life. You were beyond amazing. Small venue I returned to a couple years ago for my son's Medical School graduation. Really appreciated how small and intimate it was and how much of a fan I became of you till this day I became. God Bless and thank you so much for your talent and the efforts you made for us fans. Would love to see you again if possible.... Asked for a new turntable for Christmas this year just so I could hear your magic again on vinyl. Thanks again for all your wonderful, magical, talent. It still touches my heart like no one else.....Bless you!
Linda, I have pretended that I was you, with a hair brush being my mic! That was when I was 14 and babysitting! Now I am 77 and you energetic voice still vibrates within me! You are the greatest ever…thank you for make i ng life worth celebrating!
I used to lip sinc to her every weekend ( also to Pavarotti) when I was age 4- 12ish while doing chores. I continued listening to her all through the 90's up to the present. My mother saw The Stone Ponies in concert at her catholic, all girls college. Miss Ronstadt came onto stage barefoot in her beautiful free spirit splendor & all the nuns were horrified! I wish there was a recording of that! Thank you for your comment!
15:40 if you're here to relive the original song that inspired an amazing Nick Offerman Emmy award winning performance which honored this immaculate Linda Ronstadt classic ♥❤
The woman who gave the World her wonderful voice...and The Eagles and Andrew Gold and John David Souther and...The Trio with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Just amazing 👏
No musical genre was beyond her fantastic vocals. I arrived in the USA in 2004 from England, so was a little unfamiliar with her talents. I'm 74 years and I could be hers on request 😁
One of the 'greats' who could stand on the quality of her voice alone...no elaborate costume, make-up, theatrical presentation/'gyrations' or technology...just a 'gifted' voice, solid back-up band, and 'ALL HEART' from a 'free-spirit' who continues to inspire...if only in great memories~!!! THANK YOU, LINDA~
Not "one of the greatest" She was the most talented most versatile singer EVER!. She could sing in any genre. Her covers were always as good or better than the original. No singer past or present could come close to Linda.
Oh wow. :Somewhere Out There" is one of the lullabies of my childhood from the cartoon An American Tail. Fievel was one of my all time favorite characters. Love that little mouse. 💕
She is not only one of the top 3 singers ever. But what set her apart from everyone else is her honesty, true love for all music ability to sing anything and she gave in to the hype. A beautiful person to match her unbelievable voice!
Merci à vous,vous avez enchanté mon adolescence,je vous écoute encore avec plaisir sur You tube,et vos concert en prison avec Johnny Cash sont des moments exceptionnels de rock’´ roll et de slows !!
One of the best singers ever! Pitch perfect, gorgeous, sexy, and all woman a true lady. Even I had a crush on her growing up... and me being a gay man.❤😂 STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL 😍 🤩
Whether it’s a balled like Blue Bayou or an uptempo song- - she delivers her songs as great as the greatest of all time. She’s a stylist - she’s recorded all genres of music and killed them all- in her shy quiet modest way. Blessings to Linda ❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
People say she is one of the greatest singers ever.... They are absolutely wrong; such an understatement. She is by far the greatest female voice God ever created. Perfection in every aspect. No one can hold a candle to Linda Ronstadt. No "singer" today, not even the original singers/songwriters....She takes anything she chooses and makes it ten-thousand-fold better. Linda blows the originals away like a tornado in a test tube. People say, what is your favorite color; what food, if only one, would you eat the rest of your life? Impossible to answer. But, what music would you listen to if you had only one singer to chose? Linda Ronstadt. Perfection personified.
Every time an exceptional musician or singer passes away, a part of our past goes with it. Just the way I feel about it. We grow old alongside them and one day....they just leave us and probably go to a better place beyond our imagination....and then it really sinks in just how special they were. So coming across such recordings or videos takes us back for a few moments and warms our hearts....and then we're back in the here and now....realizing how precious life is and that we need to embrace it. Thanks for putting such material out there to make us happy....THANK YOU!
Linda, if we somehow muddle thru this mess and are still around 100 years from now, people will still hear your voice and shiver with delight, like I do, every time.
Considered to be one of the greatest female vocalists of all time,throughout her amazing career ( highest paid woman in rock in the 70s) she attempted and nailed many different genres,yet another person who either doesn't understand what the word underrated means or thinks it's cool to say " so and so ( insert name of extremely famous/ highly talented musician) is underrated The " underrated " comment is on just about every comment section on every song on TH-cam
@@AzDesertFoxx by nobody, it's just these IDIOTS are on every comment section and they love to say ' so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and talented musician) is underrated. Just a bunch on sheep following each other. So far the Eagles,Mark Knoffler,Eric Clapton,Tom Petty,Lindsey Buckingham to name a few are also underrated. In fact it's harder to find a comment thread that doesn't say someone is underrated. I think only Led Zep and The Beatles have escaped the nonsense
It's Spring 2020 and I am a family man in his mid-fifties who's an out'n'out music freak with an eclectic collection of (not over-estimating) tens of thousands of musical recordings on everything from vinyl to high-definition audience-recorded live concerts. Linda Ronstadt still, to this day, knocks my socks off ever since listening to her covers of 50s & 60s classics like "You're No Good" and "When Will I Be Loved".... Music's been a major part of my existence since the 1970s when I could barely afford 45rpm discs. And, Linda's definitely "up there' in terms of being a major voice. One realizes how important (not just entertaining, but critical) a performer is when he/she/they perform cover versions that send the listener on a journey to the originators of those same songs. Linda Ronstadt and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and later on, the Travelling Wilburys all sent me on mission to discover records by Little Richard, Bettye Everett (and everyone on the Vee Jay Records label), Roy Orbison (that blend of teenage heartbreak and opera), Chuck Berry (who I met once & shook THAT hand) and Bo Diddley (who I met once & shook THAT hand) (and everyone else on the Chess/Checker Records label), Phil & Don Everly, Carl Perkins and Sun Records, Hank Williams. As The Doors' Jim Morrison said on stage at the Toronto Pop Festival (Sept 1969), these illustrious performers opened-up strange, new catacombs of wisdom. But, back to Linda. Folks got to remember that she had guts and insight. She was the first in '82 (?) to release a concept album of cover versions from the 30s/40s Tin Pan Alley American songbook. The record was called "What's New" and it opened up an entirely new career path to which many vocalists followed later in their careers. Rod Stewart released like four or five "Great American Songbook" albums, successfully redefining himself into a mature, classy crooner (and providing the royalties and tour proceeds for the new homes his great-grandchildren will someday purchase). Rod, and anyone else who releases projects based on Hoagy Carmichael and George 'n Ira Gershwin songs owes a massive debt to Linda Ronstadt. She knew - gut instinct or perhaps good management - that looking to the past with reverence and taste (AND TALENT) is marketable. Sad that I never and will never get to see these artists perform in person. Linda's retired. Orbison left us much too early. Elvis, the human, crumbled under the weight of being ELVIS. Morrison and Hendrix and Janis entered orbit but burnt-up on re-entry before I was old enough to operate a phonograph. Good art is like that. Like the lighting of a wooden matchstick. You gotta look at the flame when it's burning as it may be gone much too soon. But, we still have the records.
Wow...one word...speachless! I've always LOVED Linda...I played her hits on piano in restaurants from age 10 through college, sang her harmony enriched hits with friends a cappella style for years...but this, THIS concert brings EVERY facet Linda Ronstadt brings to that brilliant diamond she so creatively built over the years of her reining as the Queen of...the Queen of...EVERYTHING upon which she laid those beautiful vocal tones that emulated from her very soul...I'm simply speachless after sitting, watching and listening to every amazing note she sang...so diverse, just simply AMAZING! Linda, if you read this, PLEASE know, and I hope I'm speaking for everyone that knows what gift you gave to the ears of the world during your rein, Linda, please don't feel that you let anyone down because some uncontrolled condition prevented you from singing any longer, once you decided it was just too much...by that time, you had already given us all the most wonderful gift any artist such as yourself could possibly give. The years of travelling with you along your vocal journey is a gift none of us could possibly give you the proper "Thank you" that you SO deserve! You're amazing, you're wonderful, you're beautiful...you lift the life in us all to a height from which we could never descend, because we don't want to...you've lifted us up so much with every note you sang. We LOVE YOU, LINDA!
I'll never forget the time my Dad's friend that drove a truck like my dad we walked in his house one day he was playing her. I asked who that was .he told me Linda Ronstadt I was hooked from day one. Love everything she sings. Especially Nelson Riddle music such beautiful music and the songs in Spanish she made for her father. Such beautiful music .and has the power in her voice too make those songs sung like they should be. Love you Linda you will always be the greatest woman singer in my book . The only other person I like is Ann Wison from Heart just awesome woman. With wonderful talent. God bless you Linda your most bestest fan. KRYSTE Deleon from Oklahoma.👩🎤🎸🎹🥁🎶🎶🎶🎚🎛🎧🎼🎼🎵🎵🎙🎤
another of the LORD'S gifts to our BOOMER generation. A voice so strong & then velvet that will melt you away. All her song selections about one thing: LOVE. And Drop/Dead/Gorgeous; STUNNING , Breath-taking beautiful lady.
One of the prettiest ladies with the prettiest voice I've ever heard making the most listenable music. God has blessed me to live in the same lifetime with her.
She has a recent regular cable tv special, "The Sound of My Voice" which comes up every so often. I have it recorded and watch it often. I had no idea how many different types of singing she did in her career. Versatile indeed.
For my $$ , the greatest female vocalist of a generation . Her timbre , pitch , control. You name it , is just mind blowing . I only wish I could’ve seen her live . I was and am in love. Lol. Thanks Linda
Had a workmate ask me about best female voices, who was pitch perfect; I answered in my ignorance that I thought Anne Murray had that kind of talent. She answered that Linda was that talented...and I surely had to agree! Loved her songs for 50 years and counting!
Everyone has to get old but we have lost the greatest voice I have ever heard in 72 years of life. She still lives on in my mind ! She is the only singer that can take a hit sung by someone else and make it sound better !
The absolute best ever. What a stunning beauty as well as a magnificent voice. What range she had! So blessed to have such a natural talent. Made it sound effortless. Gives me chills just listening to her voice. I saw her in concert back in the Late 70s, was blown away. Mostly blown away by her speaking voice versus her singing your voice. She had such a soft, melodic, speaking voice then she would belt out these beautiful Spirited songs. Don’t tell anyone, But I had a girl crush on her too. God bless her!! Always a class act.
La mejor del mundo mundial! Te amamos Linda, los mexicanos y quienes gustamos de tu bellisima voz, en cualquier genero e idioma. Eres el soundtrack de mi vida.
Definitely one of the finest singers of any genera of her time. She could any song and make it belong to her. It is a shame the age and health has to deprive us of her talent.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Pure perfection!!! Back when performers had to have ACTUAL talent!!! One of the 3 TOP female voices I've EVER heard!!! No tattoos, No industry "uniform", No dressing and acting like a "slut". Just PUUURRRE talent!!! What a concept!!!
It seems some are disappointed by the quality of the recording, if you're from her generation (I am) she sounds exactly like what I remember walking down the street with my ear piece in and listenting to her on my transistor radio. The technology wasn't available, but her magical voice was. Truly my favorite vocalist of my lifetime
My first ever concert circa 1977 or 78 that my dad took me to. And at the Universal Amphitheater when the ceiling was still open. Her singing along with the beautiful night sky above was heaven to the 13 year old girl that I was.
Linda, you were such a great talent. Thank you from many of us who've enjoyed your music throughout the years and still remain huge fans of your repertoire.
An extraordinary talent. Listening to her vocal range, so enjoyable across many genres is a very rare experience. It is truly very sad that her voice is now silent.
I just realized that I've never had the privilege of seeing Linda in concert! I grew up in Inglewood,CA where everyone performed at the Forum and it usually cost less than $5.00 to go to a concert. Three Dog Night performed at my High School for free. If I didn't have a date, I'd baby sit for Concert money. What a loss not to have seen her!!!
I loved Linda Ronstadt from the first day I saw her on TV with the Stone Poney's back in the last 1960's on the TV. It was then and there, that I knew this was the road I wanted to take. Actually, I knew as a child. Linda Ronstadt is the BEST female vocalist out there today. Her music helped me navigate many obstacles growing up. Her music always brought me to a level of happiness. Music is powerful, indeed. With that being said... be careful and take heed of what you allow your brain to take in. Linda Ronstadt was my mentor. She is the Queen.
Thank you, Linda, for your incredible voice. I still have some vinyl, but they were put away for many years and don't work so well a lot of them are scratched. Now I can listen to your music on TH-cam. Wow has technology come a long way. Thank you for all the incredible memories. Love you Linda.
No one does Blue Bayou like Linda ,,, she caresses the slow lyrics and belts out the choruses like no one else
There will NEVER be another Linda Ronstadt She is a one of a kind! ❤ Thank God she can leave her voice with us when she goes!!
Linda was still is, the purest voice of all time. No one close.
Linda is a story teller singer. i believe her every word. i love how she sings but also is like she is telling a story . singing.
Linda Ronstadt is who god created when he wanted to show off!
Rare & remarkable.💕
AMEN To That Michael Linda Is Truly A Once In A Lifetime Treasure 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Linda rightfully earned her title as the queen of rock!
I recently heard an interview with Linda Rhonstadt & she says she LOVES TH-cam! I thought I was the only one. I LOVE watching her perform as well as hearing her hit all those notes PERFECTLY! I am disabled with lupus, scoliosis & just had open heart surgery to replace a mitral valve. It’s tough being house bound & really not feeling well enough to go anywhere. I play Linda Rhonstadt a lot of the day! I prefer you-tube because I’m a visual person. THANK YOU LINDA for all the joy you give today & in the past! God Blessed us with you! 💞💞💞
She is right up there with Karen Carpenter, Allison Krause, and Christine Macvie
I am very glad you know the power music has on mood and mental health. I have used music to get through various extended times of being ill. I recently saw an interview with her, too- she is fantastic. She's so sweet and childlike in a fun way. It is a shame she isn't able to sing any longer- she described singing as feeling like skiing very fast. It made her so happy, I feel so bad that was taken away from her. I'm sure she's dealing with it better than me!
I had a mitral valve repair at the age of 64, and have recovered fully (I'm 76 now). You'll be OK. Linda Ronstadt blows me away.
She has an official yt channel, LindaRonstadtMusic with a community heading too. It's great.
My all-time favorite artist. My dad and I would sing to her songs when I was a young girl. Tribute to my veteran father, 7 years gone today. Never forgotten always loved.
The Eagles were her band for several years, thats how special she is.
People often forget that, she was the best!
Loved her at 17, still love her at 67♡💐
Hello Judy how are you doing over there?
So there are probably countless of us out here, Judy. It makes for me a really nice group to know exists. Heads on straight (in this sector anyway!). We likely have turned on lots of other folks to this exceptional person. She reminds me to focus entirely on whatever I'm doing at the time, always try for excellence and you might get surprised.
Still love her and I’m 73.
01/09/24 still listening to & loving Linda Ronstadt! This is when singers really sang, music was really music, not computer generated.
Linda is still as beautiful as she always was.
So glad to see Ruby Leigh on The Voice, sing a real artist’s song.
Doing a biopic of her Selena Gomez plays her
She's the G.O.A.T.
What a voice!!!! Waoo, I think that she has the BEST VOICE ALL THE TIME FOR EVER AND EVER!!! GOD BLESS HER!!!!
Blue bayou is my favorite song. God bless you Linda.
Blue Bayou fits more now with 2020 2021 then it ever did. The yearning for things to be back to a better sweet day where dreams came true. Gosh I miss so many friends and loved ones only to live to see the country fighting and sickness. Linda you take me to a peaceful place. 💋
so true...good call
Mm
You said it all
🎉 I love how you remind me of that .
Your voice is a gift that only could be GOD-GIVEN! Much joy has come to me by listening to you!
Good, a lady before her time. Heaven is here with Angels like her.
One of the greatest voices of our time! Her music will live on for generations. Thank you, Linda, for sharing your diverse work over the decades with the world.
Yeah
AMEN!!!@@palominokyla7155
I'll never understand the jerks who hoot, holler and applaud during any artist's performance. Wait till it's over and then let it all hang out...but don't ruin the song, please.
They want their 5 seconds of "fame", no doubt, to compensate for their low intelligence.
Happy Valentines Day....sweet Linda. I've loved your songs ever since the 1970's when I was a teenager in school. Love, respect and admire you! Blessings/Bendiciones!!!!
Ooh Baby Baby was played at every 70s wedding I attended with my family during my childhood. Those memories are strong for me.
from Kenya...I have a stoic heart but every time I listen to ....love has no pride and... long long time,my heart melts and softens!!

Yeah 😊
Fortunate to hear her sing it twice live, such a perfectionist!
Linda Ronstandt,
As stated earlier,
A classy lady, pure talent. She sat a table away from me
In Mexico. A dear from high school flew us down for her son wedding.
Wow. what a glorious trip. Linda
Was gracious, smiles, greats warmly. We toasted

I believe he actually said that about Emmylou Harris.
But I'm happy to say it about Linda Ronstadt too!
He’s righg
👀 I Love her#My husband doesn’t like her
1st crush
Used to go to this corner pub in 1979. The juke box kept playing "Blue Bayou" over and over. Perfect intoxication ! Can't do it now.
A truly talented singer. Thanks for sharing.
No musical genre was beyond her fantastic vocals. I arrived in the USA in 2004 from England, so was a little unfamiliar with her talents. I'm 74 years and I could be hers on request 😁

Love your comment! ❤️❤️
true indeed..
Linda was one of the perks of being a teenager and then young adult in the 80’s!

There are three voices you never forget,,, Linda Ronstadt, Connie Smith, and Barbra Streisand!!
She sang some mexican songs with bread some of these where fantastic.
A once in a century voice. She fills my heart no matter how many times I play her music, which I will until I drop. 🥰
I’m glad there isn’t a limit on how many times we can play her music! 😂
So great and beautiful days

People say, what is your favorite color; what food, if only one, would you eat the rest of your life? Impossible to answer. But, what music would you listen to if you had only one singer to chose?
Linda Ronstadt.
Perfection personified.
Wow you said it all Robert, she is absolutely wonderful
Yes yez she can sing any type of song .she also did a broadway. Songs like julie andrew and B striesands
I am now going. To 73 year old from philippines still enjoying. Her songs with her great band
I totally agree with you because I have said the same thing...no one can hold a candle to her singing.
I didn't know she wasn't full Mexican, but her music in Spanish is just perfect, love her music in English too.
My Gosh, what a Voice !
Just sit back and melt into the Relaxation !
Linda Ronstadt is one of the greatest singers America has to offer.
Hell yeah she's one of the greatest singers
great singers r very hard to find nowadays
Yep. She is amazing ❤
Hello Anne how are you doing over there?

A once in a lifetime performer. The complete package.
Definitely a superstars
SUPERSTAR
Down to earth
Confident
Absolutely THE BEST
Beautiful singers music amaizing so glad thank you and so great
Legendary music from the stunningly beautiful and talented Linda Ronstadt, very proud fan for over 50 years
Me too. She’s just amazing and there’s no one out there now who even comes close.
Every time an exceptional musician or singer passes away, a part of our past goes with it. Just the way I feel about it. We grow old alongside them and one day....they just leave us and probably go to a better place beyond our imagination....and then it really sinks in just how special they were. So coming across such recordings or videos takes us back for a few moments and warms our hearts....and then we're back in the here and now....realizing how precious life is and that we need to embrace it. Thanks for putting such material out there to make us happy....THANK YOU!
@@rudimoesbauer184 Love your thoughts! I have felt them also!
i got my first lp of hers nearly 50 yrs ago and my 12yr old granddtr is a massive fan now also
@@rudimoesbauer184 Okay, but Linda is still living.
Linda, if we somehow muddle thru this mess and are still around 100 years from now, people will still hear your voice and shiver with delight, like I do, every time.
So beautiful she stil and great music congratuletions Linda Ronstadt and georges sharing so glad thank you
Amazing voice. So powerful and beautiful. Highly underrated. Love her!
I agree. She has such a beautiful voice. I have had the please of listening her yodel. She is amazing.
Considered to be one of the greatest female vocalists of all time,throughout her amazing career ( highest paid woman in rock in the 70s) she attempted and nailed many different genres,yet another person who either doesn't understand what the word underrated means or thinks it's cool to say " so and so ( insert name of extremely famous/ highly talented musician) is underrated
The " underrated " comment is on just about every comment section on every song on TH-cam
Highly underrated? No she was not!
Underrated? By whom? She's an icon.
@@AzDesertFoxx by nobody, it's just these IDIOTS are on every comment section and they love to say ' so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and talented musician) is underrated.
Just a bunch on sheep following each other.
So far the Eagles,Mark Knoffler,Eric Clapton,Tom Petty,Lindsey Buckingham to name a few are also underrated.
In fact it's harder to find a comment thread that doesn't say someone is underrated. I think only Led Zep and The Beatles have escaped the nonsense
It's Spring 2020 and I am a family man in his mid-fifties who's an out'n'out music freak with an eclectic collection of (not over-estimating) tens of thousands of musical recordings on everything from vinyl to high-definition audience-recorded live concerts. Linda Ronstadt still, to this day, knocks my socks off ever since listening to her covers of 50s & 60s classics like "You're No Good" and "When Will I Be Loved".... Music's been a major part of my existence since the 1970s when I could barely afford 45rpm discs. And, Linda's definitely "up there' in terms of being a major voice. One realizes how important (not just entertaining, but critical) a performer is when he/she/they perform cover versions that send the listener on a journey to the originators of those same songs. Linda Ronstadt and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and later on, the Travelling Wilburys all sent me on mission to discover records by Little Richard, Bettye Everett (and everyone on the Vee Jay Records label), Roy Orbison (that blend of teenage heartbreak and opera), Chuck Berry (who I met once & shook THAT hand) and Bo Diddley (who I met once & shook THAT hand) (and everyone else on the Chess/Checker Records label), Phil & Don Everly, Carl Perkins and Sun Records, Hank Williams.
As The Doors' Jim Morrison said on stage at the Toronto Pop Festival (Sept 1969), these illustrious performers opened-up strange, new catacombs of wisdom.
But, back to Linda. Folks got to remember that she had guts and insight. She was the first in '82 (?) to release a concept album of cover versions from the 30s/40s Tin Pan Alley American songbook. The record was called "What's New" and it opened up an entirely new career path to which many vocalists followed later in their careers. Rod Stewart released like four or five "Great American Songbook" albums, successfully redefining himself into a mature, classy crooner (and providing the royalties and tour proceeds for the new homes his great-grandchildren will someday purchase). Rod, and anyone else who releases projects based on Hoagy Carmichael and George 'n Ira Gershwin songs owes a massive debt to Linda Ronstadt. She knew - gut instinct or perhaps good management - that looking to the past with reverence and taste (AND TALENT) is marketable.
Sad that I never and will never get to see these artists perform in person. Linda's retired. Orbison left us much too early. Elvis, the human, crumbled under the weight of being ELVIS. Morrison and Hendrix and Janis entered orbit but burnt-up on re-entry before I was old enough to operate a phonograph. Good art is like that. Like the lighting of a wooden matchstick. You gotta look at the flame when it's burning as it may be gone much too soon.
But, we still have the records.
Thank God ❤️🙏😎
I used to listen to her when I was a little girl 💕🌹
For my money better than the rest. Pure voice that surprises you by going different places. Great back up band. Still rules the radio.
Beatiful music
Thank you Linda for existing in our time one of the very best in this life...... Bless your heart ❤️.......
Wow...one word...speachless! I've always LOVED Linda...I played her hits on piano in restaurants from age 10 through college, sang her harmony enriched hits with friends a cappella style for years...but this, THIS concert brings EVERY facet Linda Ronstadt brings to that brilliant diamond she so creatively built over the years of her reining as the Queen of...the Queen of...EVERYTHING upon which she laid those beautiful vocal tones that emulated from her very soul...I'm simply speachless after sitting, watching and listening to every amazing note she sang...so diverse, just simply AMAZING! Linda, if you read this, PLEASE know, and I hope I'm speaking for everyone that knows what gift you gave to the ears of the world during your rein, Linda, please don't feel that you let anyone down because some uncontrolled condition prevented you from singing any longer, once you decided it was just too much...by that time, you had already given us all the most wonderful gift any artist such as yourself could possibly give. The years of travelling with you along your vocal journey is a gift none of us could possibly give you the proper "Thank you" that you SO deserve! You're amazing, you're wonderful, you're beautiful...you lift the life in us all to a height from which we could never descend, because we don't want to...you've lifted us up so much with every note you sang. We LOVE YOU, LINDA!
Your not a fan are you Marshall?
Just meesin.
I second that notion.
Nothing compares.
❤️👏
@@UserName_no1 What man didn't love her? 😂
Gracefully said... am with with this innermost feeling... thank you... you've what i wanted you be said...
Hello 👋
@@palominokyla7155 hi.
I'll never forget the time my Dad's friend that drove a truck like my dad we walked in his house one day he was playing her. I asked who that was .he told me Linda Ronstadt I was hooked from day one. Love everything she sings. Especially Nelson Riddle music such beautiful music and the songs in Spanish she made for her father. Such beautiful music .and has the power in her voice too make those songs sung like they should be. Love you Linda you will always be the greatest woman singer in my book . The only other person I like is Ann Wison from Heart just awesome woman. With wonderful talent. God bless you Linda your most bestest fan. KRYSTE Deleon from Oklahoma.👩🎤🎸🎹🥁🎶🎶🎶🎚🎛🎧🎼🎼🎵🎵🎙🎤
one word to describe her, " Great"
another of the LORD'S gifts to our BOOMER generation. A voice so strong & then velvet that will melt you away. All her song selections about one thing: LOVE. And Drop/Dead/Gorgeous; STUNNING , Breath-taking beautiful lady.
One of the prettiest ladies with the prettiest voice I've ever heard making the most listenable music. God has blessed me to live in the same lifetime with her.
Pure music of the heart ❤💙💜💖💗💘.
Someone to Lay Down Beside Me gets me every time.
Hello Deidra how are you. Greetings from Ireland. This is a lovely singer 🎤 🎶. Best wishes 👍🙏🎼 Michael
Probably the most versatile singer of all time.
She has a recent regular cable tv special, "The Sound of My Voice" which comes up every so often. I have it recorded and watch it often. I had no idea how many different types of singing she did in her career. Versatile indeed.
Right up there
@@rocco... With who?
@@normc.9705 Stevie Nicks Pat Benatar Agnetha Faltskog. Linda had booming clarity like no other though.
@@rocco... All great singers, but now where near as versatile as Ronstadt.
A rare gem.
For my $$ , the greatest female vocalist of a generation . Her timbre , pitch , control. You name it , is just mind blowing . I only wish I could’ve seen her live . I was and am in love. Lol. Thanks Linda
Thank for support
Had a workmate ask me about best female voices, who was pitch perfect; I answered in my ignorance that I thought Anne Murray had that kind of talent. She answered that Linda was that talented...and I surely had to agree! Loved her songs for 50 years and counting!
One of the classics of women in Rock😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Some where Linda you need to know you have many, many people wishing you health and happiness because you had giving us your voice and music.
Everyone has to get old but we have lost the greatest voice I have ever heard in 72 years of life. She still lives on in my mind ! She is the only singer that can take a hit sung by someone else and make it sound better !
Yes I agree, I wish she did not have Parkinsons, she was awesome 👏 💞🎶💃
@@debbieochoa8525 She didn't have to wear skimpy outfits and do dirty moves. She just SANG and that was enough , that is how good she was !
We haven't lost Linda and her music. I have all the music she recorded and it was many albums. She left us with a legacy.
No contest, simply the best like Tina!
I agree but I have found another. Give a listen to Morrisette Amon.
The absolute best ever. What a stunning beauty as well as a magnificent voice. What range she had! So blessed to have such a natural talent. Made it sound effortless. Gives me chills just listening to her voice. I saw her in concert back in the Late 70s, was blown away. Mostly blown away by her speaking voice versus her singing your voice. She had such a soft, melodic, speaking voice then she would belt out these beautiful Spirited songs. Don’t tell anyone, But I had a girl crush on her too. God bless her!! Always a class act.
La mejor del mundo mundial! Te amamos Linda, los mexicanos y quienes gustamos de tu bellisima voz, en cualquier genero e idioma. Eres el soundtrack de mi vida.
This is a masterpiece that incorporates all of Linda's philosophy and musicality. It's full of beauty and that's enough.
Best female artist of all time. Period
Wow my favorite singer
Definitely one of the finest singers of any genera of her time. She could any song and make it belong to her. It is a shame the age and health has to deprive us of her talent.
Right on brother. Well said.
When will be Linda inducted to the Country Hall of Fame?
She has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but alas not the Country -- yet.
@@frednutz1604 yes, to the Rock & Roll Hall too late after The Eagles, but luckily yes.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Pure perfection!!! Back when performers had to have ACTUAL talent!!! One of the 3 TOP female voices I've EVER heard!!! No tattoos, No industry "uniform", No dressing and acting like a "slut". Just PUUURRRE talent!!! What a concept!!!
It seems some are disappointed by the quality of the recording, if you're from her generation (I am) she sounds exactly like what I remember walking down the street with my ear piece in and listenting to her on my transistor radio. The technology wasn't available, but her magical voice was. Truly my favorite vocalist of my lifetime
One in a MILLION…..Linda Ronstadt!
My first ever concert circa 1977 or 78 that my dad took me to. And at the Universal Amphitheater when the ceiling was still open. Her singing along with the beautiful night sky above was heaven to the 13 year old girl that I was.
I was there.
Yes to Linda Ronstadt always...🎉❤
One Of The Best Album's Every Made XXX
Linda, you were such a great talent. Thank you from many of us who've enjoyed your music throughout the years and still remain huge fans of your repertoire.
Walter yew: she's still alive.
She ain’t dead
Because we still love her so much
Blue Bayou is ❤, at my age, I keep singing this song.
Thank for love
One of my favorites, love ya Linda
I have always loved Linda Ronstadt since I first heard her in 1974
She's the only artist that tugged on my heart strings and yeah I felt the lyrics hard.
She & Karen Carpenter tugged at my ❤ strings way back when and still do today!😃🤗👍🙌🥳🎶🎵🎼🎤
Oh, how I know.
Singers today just dont have that same soul ..reading Linda Ronstadt memoir Simple Dreams , just brilliant 🙏🏽❤🎶
An extraordinary talent. Listening to her vocal range, so enjoyable across many genres is a very rare experience. It is truly very sad that her voice is now silent.
Wow amazing music l feel like I want to dance...
Great music super
Just her voice alone was so beautiful could stand alone. She is in poor health, but her music will live on.
Robert Kelsey: she has MS.
I just realized that I've never had the privilege of seeing Linda in concert! I grew up in Inglewood,CA where everyone performed at the Forum and it usually cost less than $5.00 to go to a concert. Three Dog Night performed at my High School for free. If I didn't have a date, I'd baby sit for Concert money. What a loss not to have seen her!!!
I did and she was awesome!
Chris ELLIOT: She played the forum in '78 or '79. I remember that's when I found out about her. With blue bayou.
I loved Linda Ronstadt from the first day I saw her on TV with the Stone Poney's back in the last 1960's on the TV. It was then and there, that I knew this was the road I wanted to take. Actually, I knew as a child. Linda Ronstadt is the BEST female vocalist out there today. Her music helped me navigate many obstacles growing up. Her music always brought me to a level of happiness. Music is powerful, indeed. With that being said... be careful and take heed of what you allow your brain to take in. Linda Ronstadt was my mentor. She is the Queen.
She was one of my first English teachers … her voice made me want to know what the lyrics on the song were about🥰
Hello Linda how are you doing over there?
So true, so true.
Thank you, Linda, for your incredible voice. I still have some vinyl, but they were put away for many years and don't work so well a lot of them are scratched. Now I can listen to your music on TH-cam. Wow has technology come a long way. Thank you for all the incredible memories. Love you Linda.
Beatiful music thanks
I still play my vinyl. Better sound.
This song is REALLY MY FAVOURITE sung by Ms Linda Ronstadt !
👌
If Dolly says nones could top Linda vocals, u know its true.. shes a songbird. ❤
She has a beautiful voice.
