Long overdue. Pure talent, unadorned beauty, generous to her band mates, sang what she wanted with pipes of glory. No one had her voice or vibe. Rare songbird that gave fame the middle finger when it bored her. It was the music that mattered.
"You're No Good" is just as strong to me today as it was when it was released. I don't know why it took the Hall so damned long. This woman sang it all. Country , rock, soul, the standards, and songs honoring her native tongue. She didn't just sing 'em. She mastered 'em She is the best female voice of the modern music era because sbe could do it all.
They tried to induct her before and she didn't want to be associated with rock & roll. She was going through something at that time, I guess. This was in the late '90s.
Pipes of power and tenderness. She is so deeply beloved - kind of rare. She had one writer, Dave Marsh, who trashed her always. In fact when he edited a reference book that praised Ronstadt he changed the reviews of others to demean her. I think he was Springsteen's Cabana Boy and they gave him a job at some magazine. Nowadays he is forgotten - she is a deeper icon than ever.
@@waynerhodes4806 He is/ was grotesque. Basically skilled at telling tone-deaf lonely suburban white boys how to jerk-off to music. Stunning that he was given any clout - definitely Springsteen's cabana boy.
Linda's command of her voice, her control of her excellent versatility will never be matched by any other singer, ever. Linda always gave all of her very best. She was sincere; never insulted her audience or her fans. Never. She performed at peak at her every appearance. She sang what she meant and she meant what and how she sang.
When I was growing up in the seventies, one of my sisters was a big fan of Linda's. I didn't really appreciate how awesome she was. She's a legend. She finally got in the HOF. Way overdue.
i was not born wnen she started singing,but i have found her now and love her,wish i could have been around her back in the day,god bless you linda take care.
Linda Rondstadt has a one-of-a-kind voice and Parkinson's Disease has silenced her voice forever. I had many of Linda's albums on vinyl. Linda and I are the same age (73) and I pray that she can enjoy some comfort for the balance of her life. Linda, I have loved you for over 50 years and I will continue to do so until we both pass from this world. Thank you for the video of her RRHOF induction; it should have come much sooner than 2014.
Linda Ronstadt is hands down one of my top 3 fave female singers of all time. She's done it all and is so humble about her talent! She came up when there was no such thing as autotune! You either had perfect pitch or you didn't! Most women singers by comparison can't carry a tune in a bucket!!!
I absolutely love Linda Ronstadt, I love her tough exterior, her beautiful voice, her unbelievable cuteness, her generous spirit, her amazing ear for talent to know true artistry when she reads or hears it, she’s a giant in the industry, how could I not be in love with all that? God bless you Linda
Beautiful lady, with such grace has been dealt a terrible disease and still has so many fans. That's a true artist❤❤❤ History will never forget that name. Tracks of my tears, one of my favorites.
A remarkable set of gorgeous pipes attached to an utterly delicious human being. Rock and Roll was lucky to have her when it did - before she took that voice elsewhere.
She took her music in a direction that was part of her upbringing. Can't fault her for that. It would have been nice to be able to hear more great hits, but at least she didn't pull a Cat Stevens. (Which was his right to do). I hope they are both happy with the choices they've made.
Her speaking voice is very different to her singing voice. When she is speaking she sounded like little girl just wanting to play dolls and eat candies but as soon as she opens her mouth to sing, she transforms into another persona and that voice soars so high bringing good music to our ears. What a great singer. A legend.
Shes the BEST ! What a doll, what a voice, what a face !! I danced to one of her songs on my wedding day. God Bless you Linda ! We all love you. Yuh ou will be able to sing again someday as beautifully as you always had. I cant wait till that day when were all together listening to outstanding voice !
The crime is that she had to wait until 2014. She was first eligible in 1999. Thank God that Glenn was still around to induct her. It was great to see her contemporaries give her a voice although she actually preceded and, as Nicks said, inspired them.
You are right. You don't stop to live, you don't stop to die. You do the thing that makes you - you! It is a gift from God. Great talent, great woman, focused, and the world was her footstool. Linda, You are loved!
Grit, beauty, intelligence, generosity, determination, vision, standards, talent, heart, and individuality. Linda Ronstadt is a beautiful example of a near-perfect human.
A grand and glorious vocalist. When she felt like belting out a rock tune or torch ballad no one could touch her power and emotion. People still make up stuff about Linda.
The lost art of interpretation. Every note was her own story. Often the only girl on the road - back when... A sublime vocalist - made boys and grown men ...cry. The Hall of Fame hardly deserves her beauty.
Linda Ronstadt my girl she opened up so many genres of music for me when I was 13 years old I discovered her music I loved her ever since she is as beautiful soul God Bless her :)
I'd have to say no good is my favorite song of hers.k love them all but no good I just love the way it sounds and her performance on midnight special is the best..just hope she was watching the R.R.H.F. to see all those rock legends singing her songs ..that would be an honor to do.sad she can no longer sing I'd love to hear her one last time
As fate would have it I work so close to the Troubadour you can spit. Grew up with Linda & the Eagles and I'm in awe knowing here is where it all started. Thanks to Linda I know a little sound of Heaven must be like.
I have commented this before that many non-rock and roll artists (Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackso etc.) that were inducted had no business in this award. I even expressed my attitude towards it. I am very appalled that many of them were given the ward while many rock and roll artists (Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Pantera etc) are not. But Linda Ronstadt is, in my opinion, an exception and even though her roots is country music, she was one of the pioneers of the Country and Rock subgenre the Southern Rock plus she can't be put in only one genre of music. She did a bit of everything from Country Music to the Hippy Rock Psychedelic Music to Pop to Love songs to Rock and Roll to Folk Music to Classical and in between.
Linda is and will always be one of the greatest voices of generations, Pure Authentic Talent the ultimate crossover artist it didn't matter what genre it was she could sing it all and did!!! she could take you place with a song like no other artist. More often than not her version of a song was better than the original. Always the Best of the Best!!!!
Glorious pipes, generous in a dirty rotten business- the rrhf is not worthy of Ronstadt's natural unpretentious charms. Queen of her scene without hardly trying. The other girls bore me to tears.
I can't help it, I will forever see her in my mind ans Maybelle from the Pirates of Penzance. I had heard her before that of course but had never seen her until I saw the movie.
Rock, country, big band, new wave and even Ranchera... when I heard her singing in Spanish I thought, “There is no way she does NOT speak Spanish!!!” The voice and passion is there to make men cry...
What a shame that all the audience are elites and their children who have no idea what the Eagles is all about. Love and respect to the great late Glen Frey for his courage. RIP
It be great to interview Linda Ronstandt over radio; never too late to emphasise the success in career a look back and encouraging her to write songs and inspire others in the music field. - thats my goal and what a privilidge it would be
Linda is greater than any Mickey Mouse hall of fame~!! She was every man's lover on vinyl and could break your heart with her pure voice in song. There is no God cause if there were he would have spared her from this horrible disease after she brought so many wonderful memories to so many people for over 50 yrs. We have loved you Linda for our lifetimes.

One of the best , really versatile , and the voice of an Angel .

No, she is a one of a kind.

What a heart felt tribute from Glen Frey, to Linda! Wish her all the best from all of her many fans!!
When I was growing up in the seventies, one of my sisters was a big fan of Linda's. I didn't really appreciate how awesome she was. She's a legend. She finally got in the HOF. Way overdue.
This just brought me to tears. Linda, when I get too old to dream, I’ll still dream of you. What took the RRHOF so long!!!!!
Linda's music has been a huge huge part of my life. I love her.
i was not born wnen she started singing,but i have found her now and love her,wish i could have been around her back in the day,god bless you linda take care.
Glad you discovered her. Better late than never. 👍
It just dawned on me - she's my favorite female singer of all time. Ann Wilson is up there too.
Hey, they're my two, too.
What a fantastic tribute from the Great Glen Frey R.I.P. to the amazingly talented Linda Ronstadt.
Linda Rondstadt has a one-of-a-kind voice and Parkinson's Disease has silenced her voice forever. I had many of Linda's albums on vinyl. Linda and I are the same age (73) and I pray that she can enjoy some comfort for the balance of her life.

OMG the prettiest thing I ever laid eyes on.......voice of an angel and TRULY loved the music first....amazing person.
Linda Ronstadt....a great voice and it appears a great woman as well...thanks for all the pleasure you put in the world.
She has been a part of my life for over 40 years! I will always love her music. Miss you girl!

Linda Ronstadt - I love your authenticity and I wish I could belt it out like she did. One amazing singer - and such amazing songs
As beautiful as a flower garden and the voice unmatched by any female vocalist I have ever heard. The voice of an angel.
A remarkable set of gorgeous pipes attached to an utterly delicious human being. Rock and Roll was lucky to have her when it did - before she took that voice elsewhere.

Greatest chick singer evah! No vanity,remarkable pipes and great players. She brought us to a whole bunch of music.
Lester B Greatest indeed. She may never get the full respect she deserves cause she was so damn cute- it blinded a couple of sanctimonious critics.
ed: "Greatest singer evah". No qualifiers, no sexism required.
Umm Janis Joplin no just me ok
@@rickyboby560 Janis wasn't even in the same league as Linda. Not even close. Nobody could sing like Linda.
You're spot on!
To this day it's very very hard to beat Linda's voice, one of the best female singers ever.
Truly disgraceful that this amazing female voice was not inducted until 2014!!! Heartbreaking
She's so beautiful! Excellent Songbird, she had it all!
RIP Glenn Frey. It must have taken a lot for him to make this appearance and he did it all for Linda Ronstadt. Can't get a better friend than that.
ronstadtfanaz
I know you from the forum. :)
This was 2014. He died in early 2016
Fuck Frey ; He treated people like shit
@@WileECoyotey Ive heard that he did, Do you have any links you could share that would substanciate this ?
ronstadtfanaz huh? He was healthy then....
Thank you for your amazing music Linda forever grateful ❤️

Linda Ronstadt was born to sing...unmatch and imitated.
The crime is that she had to wait until 2014. She was first eligible in 1999. Thank God that Glenn was still around to induct her. It was great to see her contemporaries give her a voice although she actually preceded and, as Nicks said, inspired them.
Linda is the LAST OF THE GREATEST SINGERS. I miss her terribly.❤
No one had a voice as powerful, as rich or as tender. All these years later those pipes seem even more impressive. Unadorned and honest. Linda...sigh
I always thought she was great. Easy to look at too. Those big eyes and that smile, man you just gotta love her.
You are right. You don't stop to live, you don't stop to die. You do the thing that makes you - you! It is a gift from God. Great talent, great woman, focused, and the world was her footstool. Linda, You are loved!
I'm going back some day. Come what may. What a unbelievable singer.
Saw Linda 3X in concert. Her voice is magical and moves me like no other artist... Love you Linda!
Grit, beauty, intelligence, generosity, determination, vision, standards, talent, heart, and individuality. Linda Ronstadt is a beautiful example of a near-perfect human.
So so happy to have seen her live many times. She ALWAYS was on point! A consummate artist!
Every man's sweetheart. A real beauty. 😘
A grand and glorious vocalist. When she felt like belting out a rock tune or torch ballad no one could touch her power and emotion. People still make up stuff about Linda.
Linda is amazing!! Incredible stage and voice, WOW!
I'm so happy Glenn got to induct her before he passed away. I know how much it meant to him that Linda be in the Hall.
Each song brings back memories .... and tho I love so many of them, my absolute favorite - "Love Has No Pride".
She is truly, perfection.
56 and how I’ve always loved Linda.
THE Best Female singer OF ALL TIME ! this Induction was well-overdue and more than well deserved! My Lifetime IDOL xoxo
She is so beautiful! "she gave herself to us in her giving us her music with 'beauty ,grace , and love" as The Eagle said
The lost art of interpretation. Every note was her own story. Often the only girl on the road - back when... A sublime vocalist - made boys and grown men ...cry. The Hall of Fame hardly deserves her beauty.
I second that emotion~!!
Long overdue.
Blue Print Exactly the sons of b... took so long for this.
she waited 20 damn years, those jackwads at the R+R Hall should be ashamed.
Linda Ronstadt is what the Universe creates when it's showing off. ❤
Man, that voice! I love her!
Linda Ronstadt my girl she opened up so many genres of music for me when I was 13 years old I discovered her music I loved her ever since she is as beautiful soul God Bless her :)
I remembering listening to her hits in the 1970's on my car cassette and on lp and loving them all.
I love Glenn Frey so much and watching this made me tear up.
what a great tribute to LR - RIP the awesome Glen Frey.
Once Linda sang a song, it was HERS!
What a fantastic induction speech... Rest In Peace, Glenn, and thanks for everything
she's a WONDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the loving documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" and you'll wonder why she hasn't yet received a Kennedy Center Honor.
She just did now at least. Too bad she can barely move though.
Yes, that's a wonderfful documentary.
I'd have to say no good is my favorite song of hers.k love them all but no good I just love the way it sounds and her performance on midnight special is the best..just hope she was watching the R.R.H.F. to see all those rock legends singing her songs ..that would be an honor to do.sad she can no longer sing I'd love to hear her one last time
Beautiful lady, beautiful songs,& beautiful voice.
As fate would have it I work so close to the Troubadour you can spit. Grew up with Linda & the Eagles and I'm in awe knowing here is where it all started. Thanks to Linda I know a little sound of Heaven must be like.
I love her voice but mostly the way she interprets (performs) what she's singing.
Good. Linda, you deserve it! Beautiful voice!

I love her her voice all her songs shes so amazing!
Real singing. No auto tune
❤️☮️
Your music is a true inspairation.I never. Had.a chance to meet you but l will always have Hobo Thanks.
Linda and Stevie Nicks were the fucking bomb of the 70's. Second was Heart, 3rd was Pat Benetar.
Benatar was a 1980's phenom. She didn't burst onto the scene with her first hit album & single until 1979.
The R&RHOF lost whatever little credibility it may have had when it inducted Madonna before Linda Ronstadt
It's maddening~!!!!
YES!
Amen to that!
Madonna can't sing a lick or compose a song, its dumb.
It's ridiculous that musicians from the 80's get inducted before top musicians from the 60's and 70's
I can't help it, I will forever see her in my mind ans Maybelle from the Pirates of Penzance. I had heard her before that of course but had never seen her until I saw the movie.
Well always have 1 of the greatest voices of all time
Rock, country, big band, new wave and even Ranchera... when I heard her singing in Spanish I thought, “There is no way she does NOT speak Spanish!!!” The voice and passion is there to make men cry...

Good job explaining Linda to those that are uninformed.
Such a legend. I still listen to her original vinyl. I'd pay to watch her lip sync to her old songs.
Her 1977 version of willin was the best ever . There will never be another who comes close.she was just spetacular.
Glen Fry is sorely missed and Linda is and was phenomenal!
The queen
LINDA F*CKING RONSTADT!
‘NUFF SAID!
🎵🎶😜😍🥰👍👏
Love ya Linda Ronstadt.
Your the best.
🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎸🎸🥁🥁🎤🎹🎹⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀💿
The level of her talent vs today's pop singers is kinda similar to a cheetah racing Usain Bolt. So versatile, so talented, and is sorely missed.
National treasure
phenomenal
God I miss Glen Fry💔. So sad he's gone, but so happy he inducted her!💕💕
Cause shes mexican, nobody would ever known that a mexican star will bring up the eagles, and rock in roll to another level
She's not even half but I get what you are saying especially with her great Mariachi Albums that her Father liked. She is an Angel for sure~!!
Her father is Mexican
@@Theegothkid Her grandfather was German, hence the surname Ronstadt.
linda is so beautiful
Glen got chocked up a bit at the end there.. letting you know how much she means to him!!
Her voice was BEAUTIFUL, But- her SMILE was (and, is) PRICELESS-!!!!!!! 😁👍✌️😀
Linda is greater than any Mickey Mouse hall of fame~!! She was every man's lover on vinyl and could break your heart with her pure voice in song. There is no God cause if there were he would have spared her from this horrible disease after she brought so many wonderful memories to so many people for over 50 yrs.

"Magnifique" !!!
Kudos to Glenn Frey...so much from the heart here
Amazing woman ...
The greatest song picker of all time.
I’ve been a fan since - heart like a wheel.
