I love Linda Ronstadt. I used to think that her recording of Blue Bayou was the most beautifully sung song that I ever heard.
It was, and still is.
How cool is that to say "I think I'll call Linda"? Please let her know we love her, and that we all say Hi.
Your videos are literally everything that is good about the Internet. Thank you so much for your amazing playing, stories, and insights! Such a beautiful tribute to the great Linda Rondstadt. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thank you for giving Linda her due honors. She is indeed a true *American* treasure.
A human treasure.

An Atheist treasure
If you call Linda....there are a lot of us out here who are thinking of her and wishing her the best.
Linda from them time I herd the stone ponies I knew I had just listen to something special and every thing afterwards was thanks for the memories
Ron Sanders ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been crushing on linda since I was in HS! Loved her then and now...my first album which I replayed 100x was hasten down the wind...beautiful woman and voice....pls tell her to call me😉⚘
One could have heard more music .. alas the idol worship and nostalgia proved rather dim and detremental ..
Linda gets a lot of respect as an Atheist, as she should !
Mr. Sklar, I’m one of the lucky ones during this pandemic. My life is stable and I have a good home. However, the isolation and the politicization all gets to be too much at times. There are a handful podcasts and you tubers I have found that take my mind away from our current situation, help restore faith in people, and give me some solace. Yours is one of them. Thank you. MSA in S.C.
The fact that you corrected yourself about the drummer, tells us about your wonderful character. Thanks.
Integrity...Dignity...stuff never taught on instructional videos! lol
@MorbidManMusic --well, your name fits...i think few would make effort to give props to who did what and be focused on self...doesnt make them an a hole, just shows Lee's lack of ego in real time...
“MorbidManMusic is the time of “ wow I butt typed that while I was rolling newspapers on my paper route. Almost sounds like it means something.
Like my sainted Grandmother used to say, "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." LOL
@@Joesfosterdogs You left off "Transparency" (or, at least, "Translucency")! (see what I did there?) :P
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
You too sir are a legend in your own time. I’ve been playing music for the last 40 years but have never had the opportunity to meet my cousin Linda. My parents were divorced and I never got to know any relatives from Tucson. Yes her situation is sad but her beautiful voice and music will live on forever. On another note, I actually knew Mike Post (Postil) when he had a place in Hawaii. He is another monster music writer. God bless you Leland and we can see the beautiful person you are with all your kind words about others. Stay safe 🌴😷🌈Aloha
I saw Linda perform in NJ in 1995 (w/ Russ Kunkel drumming on that tour) and she was spellbinding. She hit and maintained a note during "Can't Let Go" that I still remember and felt goosebumps all over me - which I've never felt at a show before or since. You can find a show from that same tour here on TH-cam from 1995 in Boston. It was essentially the same set-list. She is certainly one of the most versatile and commanding vocalists I have ever heard - man or woman.
Aaron Neville has a remarkable voice and paired with Linda it's magic. Thank you.
Linda's "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind" album came into our house when one of my sons was 2 years old and it quickly became his favorite. He and I especially liked the duets Linda and Aaron Neville sang together. We spent a lot of time dancing around the house to their amazing music. All these years later, it was my son who pointed me to this video. Hearing your stories and watching you bask in the beauty of the music was a real treat. Thank you.
I tend to go on and on about how wonderful Linda Ronstadt is-her consciously nurturing relationships with the best of the best songwriters, all the specifics of her seemingly effortless technique on her instrument. I’ll just say again, she seems to utterly inhabit the emotional world of every lyric she sings.
Linda is hands down my favorite female singer. So glad that she is doing well and is in good spirits ❤
Thank you so very much for doing this video. 👍🎶🙂
LINDA RONSTADT, ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS EVER LIVED SHE IS SO MISSED.
We are all incredibly blessed having you and taking the time to sit down and reflect upon beloved musicians, friends and collegues every day. Your channel has evolved into a treasure of the internet. Thanks for your wonderful commitment.
Great to see and hear from you !!!
I love how Linda really dials herself back to a 1 when they are singing together because her voice is so epically powerful it was the best thing for the song. Love it. Definitely one of the best all-time duets.
You are just a "Good Soul" Mr. Sklar. Thanks for these videos. What it must have been like to be with these artists creating these Classic songs.
''Twas ever thus! Leland is the embodiment of Mr. Natural, my favorite R. Crumb character!
Linda Ronstadt is awesome. Thanks for this video
Another bearable day because you did another video and another tale. Thanks
I write down all the names you mention and discover them for myself,you are a national treasure your self. Thank you.
Tears flowing brother. Truly the the voice of angels.
I hear you. Combination of nostalgia, moved by the beauty of moments of perfection, the closest thing to God, memories, my lifelong appreciation of her and how she could touch my heart through her gift of song. She is unique like the legends are. Worked with the best, selected great songs, always growing. This duet is so beautiful it’ll make you cry::,
l love Le Land Sklar and I love Linda Rondstadt. LeLand is also an American Treasure.
A fabulous song which stands the test of time. Thanks for the stories around it.
What a transcendent vocal performance by Linda and Aaron! That kind of quality song requires the very best of players to adequately interpret it. It's not about the number of notes but the right ones; played with the kind of touch that truly elite players can provide. Thanks Lee for adding an exquisite bass part to one of the great pop songs of all time.
I had such a crush on Linda Ronstadt (as did everyone of that cohort) ... plus an amazing voice ..
Still do. I saw her back in the 90's after she released Canciones. What a great show. The sets, the costuming was such a different sort of concert experience. The performance was at the Minskoff in NYC.
We all did!
Same here. So much talent!
and that scumbag Jerry Brown (gov CA) screwed her up big time
@@roberthart9886 Yeah, it really is sad what we humans do to each other sometimes.
Linda's voice is just a treasure. So strong and pure!
Always a pleasure viewing and listening!Bob Mann a Toronto legend!Linda Ronstadt a universal treasure!Stay safe and well!
I enjoy watching Leland enjoy the music so much. You can see how it affects his spirit. It's wonderful to watch.
♡♡♡♡♡
Great that you mentioned Rinat, Leland! He still teaches, at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and he's "Principal Bass Emeritus" of the London Symphony now, though he can't play anymore. Several friends of mine are students of his and say that his lessons are transformative! I briefly met him once, his speech and movement are very limited.
Thank you for the update. He was such a remarkable musician.
Just got home from work Mr. Sklar- your videos are an oasis in what has been a desert of crap lately. Thank you sincerely. I can’t believe how much information you’ve retained . Linda is amazing.
Thanks, Leland. What great stories. Linda IS an International Treasure... and so are YOU!
I love hearing Linda's sweet voice sing the lyrics of Carmelita. I just played some original Linda records on my turnable and she sounds so amazing...
I've seen your unmistakeble presence on many stages with many people. And I happened on this video by accident. I am so glad I did, because I can tell that you're a hell of a guy and more power to you. You're a great example for anyone to follow of proffessional musicianship.
Love your stories about Linda Ronstadt. She's the absolute best female singer/performer in my lifetime and an inspiration on so many levels. I miss her voice and wish her all the best.
Linda Ronstadt is a true legend. And so is Aaron Neville. Whenever I hear this song I always cry. Because it reminds me of me and my first wife, Debbie. We would have been married 26 years this past 15th. She died 9 years ago on the 25th of this month. We always had this big plan to grow old together. But she was suffering from asthma so bad that God took her and relieved her of her suffering. Thank you for posting this, Leland. Another thing about Linda. I remember watching The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He had on Linda, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton. They had just released the Trios album. You were part of the backing band for them. Linda introduced the band members. And when she got to you, she called you The Human Furball. I thought that was funny. Miss her great voice.
Sorry about Debbie, Martin. Hope your'e well.
Martin Jones So glad you found the love of your life and you had the time together you did. Listen to Ms. Ronstadt's collaboration on Chesapeake's "Bed of Roses" with Mooni Klein. I think of a couple like yours when I listen to that song
(Btw, just TH-camd that Carson episode last week!).
Thank you. Your oral history is invaluable.
Lee you are officially a TH-cam sensation!
Linda - the greatest vocalist and performer of all times. Thank you!
We are absolutely living Groundhog Day. Thanks for all you are sharing. As great as you are as a musician your story telling chops are just as amazing.
I probably own every album you, Danny or Russ ever played on. It was the first thing I looked for when I bought an album. You are the best. Thanks for years of great music.
Absolutely. If they were on it I bought it!
"Giving the piano a colonoscopy ..."! I admit to howling with laughter when I heard you say that! I have seen studios with 9-foot concert grand Steinways where they have piano so muffled with blankets and so on that a prison escapee fro Alcatraz couldn't get out of that piano! I've also done some recording engineering and that is one of my biggest frustrations - someone who wants to take a perfectly lovely natural sound and make in into a completely electronic sound! Excellent observation!
(Later) Wonderful commentary on Linda Ronstadt! She is my all time favorite female singer of all time! Wonderful to know you had a good had in what she did!
Glad to hear that Linda is doing okay. Her inability to sing the way she used to is very sad. Her recordings will always be treasured.
Every time I hear her - and it is often - I become more amazed at her talent!
I don't claim to know all about music but I know the beauty of Linda Ronstadt's voice and amazing talent. Thank you Linda for all the wonderful music you have given the world. We are thinking of you. Love you.
She is unable to sing at all because of Parkinson's Disease.
Craig Gomez well, that’s an unthoughtful thing to say. Criticisms of Linda’s singing may be offered, for sure, but a comment like “she can’t sing at all” merely ensures no one will take what you say seriously.
Luke oh, thank you for correcting me! Apologies to Craig Gomez. Yes, unfortunate indeed about her current condition. At least we have so many years of great recordings to listen to. Best wishes to her.
Good evening everyone who wants a moment of peace and rest after a hot day...Thanks dear Leland.
Leland, the best thing you can do - even more than “professional” critics, is completely ignore all comments. I’ve followed you for at least 40 years, and you’ve helped shape the American music scene - West coast in particular. I feel like I’m sitting down with one of my studio heroes. Please keep up the stories.
Couldn't agree more!
Absolutely loved this. As a amateur musician I often play along to music and imagine what it was like to be there when a song was recorded or performed. I just watched someone replaying their memories of actually being there. Wonderful and thank you for sharing as always. Best wishes from Manchester, UK.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your stories! So wonderful
"Piano colonoscopy" made me laugh.
Lee touched on something sadly lacking in the music world these days. Album covers and liner notes informed my generation, so I know many of his peers and remember their names, as well as the headliner of the album.
One of your best vid’s!! Love your playing, but LOVE the backstories you tell!
Best example is the story you told about getting your que from hearing Linda’s breath.
Thats freakin’ awesome!!
Thats a story we would probably never have heard if you didn’t start this channel.
Keep up the great work Mr. Sklar and stay safe!
👍😎👍
I loved all the back story. Please keep it coming. Your a bright star upon the day of many, especially in dim times. Keep those fingers safe gardening in the back yard!
Thank you Mr. Sklar. If I could I'd send hearts and roses to Linda Ronstadt every day. That's how important she is to the American song book and to all the many lives she's touched.
I saw Linda in concert at Universal Studio’s maybe 15 or so years ago, she has a golden voice! It was an enchanting night and she was so generous and personable with her audience.
I love her. My favorite, first above all other pop singers. But she was so much more than just a pop singer. Thanks for discussing her, and your work.
The loveliest thing about these are the effortless charm, kindness and love shown by a true professional who has nothing left to prove for his peers. You are a kind, decent man who has given so much joy that we cannot possibly repay you.
I love Miss Linda!! You’re right, she is an American treasure.
When you speak to Linda, please tell her there are those that love her still.. me included.. and I wish her the best. Thank you and you have a great channel.
Played on over 2,600 albums... ! Amazing! I discovered you through Phil Collins but I then realized that without knowing it, I have several albums that you played on other then Collins. So many different styles of music and still you mastered all of them. The trademark of a true great musician. Last few weeks I have been watching most of videos and I’m discovering so much about you and your work. Thanks Leland, wish there where more of your kind around.
Mr. Sklar, you too are an American treasure! Thanks for your music and generosity.
Thank you Leland for another wonderful and fascinating talk. I’m so glad that you brought Linda Ronstadt into your stories. I have been a fan of hers for many years. She and I actually share the same birthday so in an odd way that makes me feel even closer to her music. Like you I am so sad that she has been affected by Parkinson’s as it has robbed her of her singing voice. Please wish her well when you next speak to her.
Hearing "You're No Good" always takes me back to a tiny little 9 volt-transistor radio... and the chills. Thanks for today's post. Looking forward to more bass =]
I play that song a lot on my phone- amazing 😊💜🇦🇺
as I wrote elsewhere, the Wrecking Crew I'm sure inspired you and your generation that took the torch, become so integral in the music of our lives............you, Lee, Grolnick, Keltner, Gadd, Breckers, Sanborn, Will Lee, Tony Levin, Muscle Shoals, Dean Park, Larry Carlton, Waddy, Danny Kootch, and on and on.........Many must have been like me; going out and buying new LP's at that time, and as the albums contained lyrics and personnel, and as you open a JT album, Jackson (Lindley et. al), Linda, Phoebe, and up popped your name and the Porcaros and all, it was like a bunch of friends getting together again, taking your place on our shelves and turntables........we owe you all so much
Thank you for the stories and the duet with Ronstadt and Neville, the most beautiful duet ever. I opened for RONAN at the Golden Bear in Hunington Beach, you guys kicked ass! JD Souther was there, it was a magical night for me, I'll never forget it.
Thanks for doing this one for Linda. I hope you got to talk to her. Have a great night, I'll be watching tomorrow.
Honest to G-d, I'm not sure what I would prefer, the music or the stories. As a bassist, to be able to slow the video down, study the notes, and try and figure out why you made the choices you did, how you put the notes together, and everything else you did is... I could never afford to pay what they're worth.
As a student of music, it's people, genres, and history, hearing the stories is as priceless as listening to a WWII Marine talk about fighting in the Pacific. We get to hear the names and learn the history of the songs that play in our life's soundtrack.
Thank you for both.
Well said !!!
I can learn about bass just by watching Lee listening to music,
G-d....you mean God
@@jshook5151 I wrote what I meant
@@thecollective1584 And you wrote it perfectly!
Seeing Linda in the 70's was a spiritual experience. She was glorious on stage, and GORGEOUS and HOT as a firecracker! All us "young kids" were in love with her...then, THAT VOICE!!!!
And we were at THIS VERY SHOW...she was fantastic, and THIS song...still love it!
th-cam.com/video/9EL-lJQ2DHQ/w-d-xo.html
Saw her in the 70's, I think at Day on the Green, Oakland Coliseum 78', Loved her rendition of That'll be the Day--that deep solid voice!
Yeah, remember the papers had a field day with her and Governor Brown vacationing together. They were both single.
Jason Lee Thanks for the link and sharing your memory. Never saw her live and appreciate the descriptions of her performances from those that did.
Leland, Larry (Byrom) and I love you and you are a national treasure. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks Leland from a huge Linda Ronstadt fan!Your appreciation of her really touched me X
Back in the late '70s/early 80's I played in several trios that did a lot of country club / lounge gigs. Without a doubt, the most requested songs we did were Linda Ronstadt songs - Blue Bayou, You're No Good, When Will I Be Loved, and more. The public really appreciated Linda, and it's really nice to hear this tribute to her. Thanks for this Leland!
Linda is a personal favorite of mine. Thanks for this and the stories. You posts are something I look forward to every day. Take care and all the best to Linda when you talk to her.
Beautiful song by Linda and Aaron. Thank you so very much for sharing your music and memories.
That brought tears to my eyes. I had no idea that she is stricken with such a debilitation. The world has been deprived of a talent without equal. God bless you sir and may God be with Linda as well.
Have loved Linda since the Stone Poneys back in '67 when I graduated from high school (Summer of Love)......the ultimate hippie chick, singing barefoot with hoop earrings and one of the most incredible voices in music history. God bless you Linda Ronstadt.
We love you, Lee. You, sir, are a good man.
I love Linda so much. She's been my crush since mid 70s. Thanks for these special gifts.
What a lovely episode this was. Thanks to you, I’m reminded all these great songs and artists I haven’t listened to for decades. So fun to hear your music industry insider stories. Thanks a million Mr. Sklar. 🖕🏼
You too are a remarkable remarkable human being and artist.
Again, thank you, Lee. Your recollections are a treasure, and need to be recorded. That album (Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like The Wind) was an absolute masterpiece...not at all shocked to hear of your involvement. Please keep it up after COVID has passed...
Thank you Lee for giving us a window into the world that provided the soundtrack to our generation’s lives. It’s fascinating and much appreciated.
My brother took me to my first Linda Ronstadt concert in Toronto in 1976. Blew my mind and have been following her and the amazing band members since. Thanks for sharing all of these great memories!
So true she is an American Treasure and there will never be another singer like her!!
I think Carly Simon and Harry Nilsson were the only artists to do an album of standards before Linda Ronstadt. thank you for these Leland I love them everyday. respect and love. stay safe. lovely song.
Thanks very much for the stories, Lee. I love them! Linda Ronstadt 's voice has always blown me away! Much love to the doggies
I had all her albums and used to tried copy her and sing along. Saw her a couple of timees in NJ and MSG back in th mid 70's and once in Tucson. She is a gifted goddess of song.
You’re the person we need in these times. Thank you, brother.
Thank you Leland. Having you as a storyteller is memorizing. Just understanding the intimate backgrounds of singers and your inclusion within their songs in history known only to yourself. Your inclusion of live bass to a song is fantastic, I'm loving your technique and fluidicy, but its not always necessary. Again, thankyou for sharing.👍👍🇦🇺
Happy to have bumped into your channel. Turning 70 this year! Linda was a bright star in my limited music appreciation back in the 70's. Sad that she can no longer belt it out like she used to. Give her love from all of us. Thanks for the memories you share.
You are a wonderful man to play such a fitting song that showcases Linda's talent. Thank you sir for the tears !!
Thank you Leland. Excellent.
If you can tell us some stories about the "Trio" recording sessions with Linda, Dolly and Emmy Lou...we would be very appreciative : )
That's an amazing recording. Their voices are so beautiful together. I remember reading that you played a fretless bass on some tracks.
Absolutely gorgeous voice. Wish Linda all the best from all your pals on the channel! Take Care Lee. 💚🎸💛
I was fortunate enough to see Linda Ronstadt perform live on two occasions. She was terrific. Also, there were times when I would hear a new song played on the radio that I thought was pretty good, then Linda would come in singing background vocals and raise the song up to a new level.
Thanks for paying tribute to Linda.
Brilliant song. Love that duet. Unknownst to me, you appear on all my favourite songs. Please keep posting these videos after this Lockdown passes... Even if it has to be be less frequent.. videos from the road would be amazing. We are so lucky to have your insights. Pure gold.. .thanks so much from a wet and stormy Ireland...by the way, your yard would win at the Chelsea flower show.. spectacular..🇮🇪
I remember seeing Linda when she was a newcomer, opening for Niel Young at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. She kept saying, "I know your all here to see Niel". But she was great. Just by herself on this big stage.
Once again, Your "series" on here reminds me of a really great college seminar course. The history and story of how all this great music was produced along with tour anecdotes and such are truly incredible and much appreciated. We're talking the best music ever produced that we have all heard numerous times through the years and here you are talking about it all. So good Lee.
I definitely want to hear about touring and the music of Jackson Browne! Thank you. You have played on over 2500 albums, I tour as a solo "indie" acoustic blues guitar guy and have done about as many shows over the last 27 years with a few mostly live recordings here and there. Dating as far back as my music mind can remember, I have listened to and sometimes seen many of the projects that you have been involved with and it is an honor to be able to see you doing this.
Lee your funky grooviness unites all the music lovers in the world. Love the stories, love the music. I never lived through the 60’s, this is the closest I’ve come to that vibe. Long live the hippy! From Burlington, Ontario Canada.
Beautiful song! It's just so timeless and will never get to old to listen to. :)
We were working at Sounds on Sunset when we had to leave, even though we had paid for the time and under deadline....because her people needed our vox box.
We were pissed off....after.... they were very kind and spoke to Authur, our guy at Polydor, and got us an extra 3 weeks...and then they bought us a meal at the Green Iguana in Venice, next to my Apt.
I did not meet her, We ate with Don and Barry or Gary and a few others.
Good day.
Glad to see your post about her.
I don’t know much,but I know I love her. That may be all that I need to know.
I lived in Tucson from '89 to '92, and Linda is royalty there. The main Bus Terminal for Sun transit was "The Ronstadt Center," located where the old Stagecoach line ran. Pretty cool. Your pretty cool too Lee.
Another favorite singer of mine...Linda Ronstandt. Love love this!
