- From March 3rd, 1983 the entire appearance of Linda Ronstadt on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. She sings three songs, "Blue Bayou", Get Closer" and "Easy For You To Say". Also Johnny interviews Linda between the last two songs. It is a wonderful interview that reveals two things - what an intelligent and funny person Linda is and what a great interviewer Johnny was. Both at their best.
“There are two kinds of men, those that that are in love with Linda Ronstadt, and those that are dead.”
Willie Nelson
Well, fuck me, I'm dead, Willie. By the way, did you ever really learn to actually play a guitar, instead of just looking like a bum for like 50 years?
He's not wrong.
Ha Ha !...That's awesome !
I love that the audience is absolutely silent while she sings. That is true appreciation of a talent.
Willie said that ?
Those of us guys lucky enough to grow up to listen to Linda we are truley blessed.😊
An incredible voice. Linda could sing rock. Linda could sing country. Linda could sing American pop standards, Linda could sing on Broadway. Linda could sing Mexican songs. Linda could sing anything and do it better than anyone else.
true peter ruden!
The bands always snap too on the tonight Show, no arrogant bs.
Linda has always been my favorite female singer of all..... Nobody else compares to her! I have so many favorite songs choice of music and musicians is legendary
She’s super cute too!
She sang opera too! She is the greatest
Linda sang circles around her contemporaries. In addition she makes today's pop/rock/country singers sound like whiny children. Ronstadt had pure power, pure emotion.
I like trio. I like Dolly For being Genuine. Emmylou I have a few records including Tucson Sessions. So there it is .7-9 of Linda. Atlanta concert in 77 b\w was on TH-cam years back. She isn't nervous on stage. I'm glad she explained that to the audience if they couldn't tell. Definitely a fan
Sang circles?? How about Whitney Houston? Aretha Frankln? There are others. I'd say it was the other way around.
4 years ago-you decided to make your comment AND (edited).
Well said right on.
Very special songbird. No one had her combination of power and unadorned sorrow. A songwriter's champion without vanity. Her pipes served the song - not her image - how rare.
No one is ever going to be this woman. One of a kind. So effortless. Try singing with her once. You will appreciate the notes she just belts out so effortlessly
Believe me, those of us who sing for a living are painfully aware of what she makes sound effortless. Cause we can’t. 😂
One of my favorite singer of the seventies and eighties. I saw her play live a number of times and she and her band were always incredible. And such a multifaceted singer successfully spanning many genres. The loss of her voice and health to this terrible degenerative neurological disease is truly a tragedy in my view I also would like to note the red headed lead guitarist on this performance was Andrew Gold, a great musician and producer/arranger in his own right. He did the arrangement for "You're No Good" with the amazing George Harrison inspired solo and the extended instrumental ending. I view that song as one of the best arranged pop songs of the 70's. He also came from quite a musical lineage. His mother was singer Marni Nixon, who provided the singing voice for numerous actresses, notably Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady; his father was Ernest Gold, an Austrian-born composer who won an Academy Award for his score for the movie Exodus. The apple did not fall far from the tree!
thank you for posting this, very interesting.
This Lady deserves "R E S P E C T" 🙃 WE LOVE YOU LINDA!!! 🎶🎶🎶
The greatest female singer ever. No one comes close.
Shirley Bassey. End of discussion.
No one.
Aretha Franklin??
Close would be in my humble opinion would be Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline & Martina McBride. Linda is still at the top but these others are close
what about me? oh wait, I'm a guy. sorry.
Linda is the real deal, beautiful woman, beautiful voice, amazing ability to choose good songs and make them sensational!
On my Mount Rushmore of women singers 🙏🙏❤️❤️
She absolutely wrecks me every time I hear her,the combination of intelligence innocence,beauty,and that incredible voice leaves me wishing I was near her.What she is going through now seems so cruel and I pray for her to find comfort in these hard times.I know there are millions who feel the same way I do
Well not innocence 😮
i'm saddened at the adversity and illness she has faced.
Absolutely
Thank the Lord that we have video and audio and tapes and etc!
I'm 87 years old and I could listen to her all the day and night! She just nailed it each song she sings!
Saw her at Radio City 4 months before this show. Opened with Tumbling Dice. Fabulous. God bless you Linda Ronstadt.
Linda ronstadt is absolutely charming ! I have so much love for her . She is gifted in looks in personality in music , and as a lovely person . Saw her 4 times . 💜❤
Lucky guy.
You lucky dog. 😅
The voice of an angel and an unsurpassed beauty. That anyone give her a thumbs down is beyond me!
Jealous !
The greatest female vocalist of her generation. Thank you, Linda.
Just just might be true ,....And I'm not talking about comparing her to the likes of JoanJet ... She crossed over into several different genres oif music that just is not seen before or after her really ....
She always gave cool interviews also :0)
There were so many good singers of that era. I think Karen Carpenter probably had the best voice. But she didn't sing rock. Linda could really belt it out.
Mark Simko Karen Carpenter had the purest singing voice , like silk. TH-cam Karen singing acapella
Growing up in the 1970s, I loved her with every beat of my heart. Linda got me through some of my darkest hours of my youth, with her angel voice, which would pierce my darkness with her radiant light. I am forever indebted to her. She so understood what it was like to be a girl in the ‘70s; the Laurel Canyon sound; life in L.A. An incomparable, newly-traversed era lacking sign-posts: never to be experienced again. But Linda was there, and she carved a lasting path, which will remain lit forever. I love you Linda Paloma.
Beautifully spoken, and I deeply relate, even though I was a gay teenage boy growing up in North Carolina!
Linda Ronstadt was magnificent.
She is the best vocalist perfect pitch and control
Still is...
A lot of charisma👴❤❤
I can’t get enough of her. She’s fantabulous ❤️
Adorable. She was able to sing anything and nail it. A great singer and also a musician's musician.
I saved every nickel and every dime to go see you in concert Linda. How your music your voice and your beauty got me through jr and high school. THANK YOU ! You will always be the queen of music.
Wow thats great! Your a great person 👍
I love it when Linda sings in Spanish as well.
Her desirability factor was simply off the charts.
Her big brown eyes are like a fawn dear.
Yeah, that was pretty cool where she slipped into Spanish. Nice nod to her culture.
She released a Spanish version of "Blue Bayou" ("Lago Azul") on 45. I lived in Miami, and it was on the radio.
One of the top five great female vocalist of the twentieth century. Just awesome!
Linda speaks in a tiny little voice and then she breaks into song with that big, beautiful singing voice.
RB Brown linda and ann wilson best female voice
No kiddin. Her adorable speaking voice, then she starts singing......what incredible talent she had. And she's kinda shy, such a sweet, humble lady.
And Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA.
W O W ! ! ! That's easy for her to sing! The ending of "Easy For You To Say" was absolutely hauntingly good! Easily the best voice in popular music of many genre's from the 1960's to the 2010's. The work they must have had to do to the stage sound system to allow her voice to come through the way it did must have been monumental. Staggering ability. The incomparable Linda Ronstadt...
Linda Ronstadt could sing a ballad to break your heart and she could belt out a hard rocking song with equal ease.
Platinum pipes. Great musical chops, surrounded by fine players that adored her(rockers, orchestras, Mariachis, banjos...) She didn't do much TV in these superstar days(75 - 89). Got to love her with Carson. Unusual mind, and a natural charming power that is much more than her hit records. Linda was a rarity.
I already knew her voice, incredible. The back-and-forth with her and Johnny were the BEST!
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Linda (fronted by Jackson Brown) at the Philadelphia Academy of Music in 1971. Her performance was immaculate - her delivery was spot on - her incredible warmth and sweetness shown through the darkness of the theatre.
She has just the right amount of longing and emotive power to really tell the story of this song. Perfect.
An intelligent, inquisitive chatterbox. She's charming.
Yes. I'd have loved to hear her elaborate on the economics of the Weimar republic, that she mentioned in passing--realizing it was too academic for the moment, but clearly she would have enjoyed elaborating. So smart (beyond her more obvious talent and beauty).
And what a shame we didn't get too hear what she would have wanted to do if she couldn't sing. That was a prescient moment, cut off by Johnny's wonderful comic timing. She got distracted, and of course "the show must go on". :-)
I enjoyed her interview almost as much as her singing. Gad, what a joy...
We were lucky enough to hear her in three incarnations: Rocker (with Andrew Gold), Balladeer (with Nelson Riddle) and on Broadway in Gilbert & Sullivan: Pirates. (We missed her Mexican performances.) I'm so glad she's still with us and hope she can someday sing for us again.
I saw her in Charlotte and I swear she didn’t need a mic! I was stunned and astonished!
beautiful and talented, born to sing,she is in a class of her own
She was (is) so smart and handled the awkwardness (and somewhat rude interruptions) so graciously. God bless her. She played off Carson better than any performer, proving she was a consummate performer herself. I think she could have acted well, but I am glad she focused on singing only because even though she would have been a marvelous actress, we have her singing in spades in all kinds of genres. Such a great music legacy.
Blue Bayou to Get Closer - a good example as to why she was the best female vocalist of my era (not to take anything away from the many great female vocalists of the last 50+ years).
wow, "Easy for you to say" (at end) just rips your heart out. She's so awesome.
Always liked her music. What a powerhouse vocalist
She's the most all around adorable woman I've ever seen.
Icons are few and far between these days. She's an Icon.
where is this kind of wonderful dialogue in today's talk show? (see interview with johnny) it's not johnny's interview skills alone, Ronstadt is such a professional, so intellectually curious and insightful. wow, i miss those days. i had forgotten how great it was to watch this kind of quality TV after the news.
No one did late night tv like Johnny. Pairing him up in interviews with all the greats kept me up late every school night.
Such a beautiful woman and a wonderful soul.. that voice... I grew up with her songs...
I SO took her for granted. You always hear discussions about singers who "could sing anything". Linda really proved it by taking charge of her career and recording in so many genres. The best female vocalist in human history.
Sultry lady. She was so beautiful and what a terrific voice. My favourite female singer ever. Great interview. Good to see the much missed Andrew Gold there too.
Steve Morgan Much missed and woefully under-appreciated Andrew Gold. I would love to see documentaries of some of the more ambitious sidemen who made their own records like Gold or David Lindley. Lindley was very prominent during the Trio appearance on the Tonight Show 4 years later.
Gorgeous voice. Powerful and tender all at once. She had a mind of her own. Rare humility for a superstar in a dirty rotten business.
Yep, a mind of her own ..She was asked to leave more than once from an appearance due to who, when, what, and where ...She was not a rebumkin for sure..
I so love this song. A she had a voice of gold.
Linda R is the best female vocalist voice ever of all Thankyou 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Beautiful voice. Just love her runs, it's so effortless.
What an amazing voice. Thank for the great music. What a great interview.
Beautiful . She was the Beyoncé of my parents generation. It’s 2023 and the clip amazing still . Thank you
Only Beyoncé can’t sing 😂
@@sg-yq8pm 😂
@@sg-yq8pm 😂😂
No my dear. Beyoncé is the Ronstadt of your generation, perhaps. Never the other way around.
Beyoncé simply hasn’t got Linda’s range, nuance and control. Nor could she perform without a lot of elaborate choreography and backup performances. Linda can simply stand there with a microphone.
A beautiful soul our Linda. It shows in her voice.
Easy for you to say is just wonderful.. amazing talent of which does not exist these days
I grew up with Linda's music, what a great girl!
Love that she sang the last section of Blue Bayou in Spanish.
Yes, intelligent and funny. And Carson really did know how conduct an interview.
They were neighbors.
This version of "Easy For You To Say" is vintage Linda. She was the cream of the crop.
I saw Linda this same year, 1983 around the 4th of July at the Veiled Prophet's Fair in St Louis by the Arch. She was at her peak and was fabulous. We all loved Linda. Hell of a festival too. Big concerts/fireworks/crowd for the holiday!!!
Johnny said what everybody was thinking, " you got beautiful eyes. "
Oh Yes !! Fell totally in love with her back in 1978 and still feel the same. She DEFINITELY has it all . Love you L.R.! ❤❤❤
A one of a kind talent. It's difficult to say in words how great Linda Ronstadt is.
hard to take your eyes off her.
She is terrific. Certainly missed now. But we still have the recordings to listen to.
You nailed the quality of this video and the talent displayed in the interview by both Ronstadt and Carson. I was laughing when Ronstadt was riffing, Thinking she was stoned and he had no idea what was going on (although I imagine that’s naïve). She’s an incredible stylist and singer.
I always loved to hear her sing in spanish....yes!!!
Linda is so humble, which makes her even more appealing.........
I recall watching this Johnny Carson interview live, back in '83. How embarrassed she got when he talked about her eyes. - Linda Ronstadt and couple of her friends sat at the table next to ours, not long after this appearance. Panchito's, in San Gabriel, CA. And yes... Her eyes are captivating.
Thanks for sharing such a Priceless memory! This is why I post these videos. Speaking of Linda's eyes, I recently posted a video that focuses on her eyes (no pun intended). It is a slide show to the song "Them There Eyes", sung by Frank Sinatra. In the middle of the video I inserted the segment from the interview you just talked about. Here is the link - th-cam.com/video/VUkWj_P6N7c/w-d-xo.html
What was she doing at Panchito’s? Seems like an odd place to find her, but glad that you did.
Linda Ronstadt,my favourite female artists of all times,she is just too good to be true,you are the best,Linda,enjoy your retirement,take care and all the best and have a Merry Christmas
Truly an awesome talent and some great tunes!
Easy For You To Say is a song I’d never heard before.. now can’t get it out of my mind.
Truly a gift from heaven above. I wish I could have known and loved her instead of from afar.
Adorable little Linda. Tremendous musical talent. Just saw her at a speaking engagement in Toronto. She remains charming, really funny and smart. Slower but she looked really good, tiny actually and without a drop of vanity. Still crushing on her.
ipmala WTF?
I agree with you Gustavino...a place in time, was glad to be there, have heard her sing many times..the one time that just was the most emotional, was at the memorial concert for Nicolette Larson. I don't know if it is here on youtube, but if it is, treat yourself. Sad, heartfelt.
5' 2" without heels.
Aside from the terrific voice, her intelligent manner in conversation, she is stunningly beautiful in the closeups (singing the ballad that begins at 15:50.
Linda. In a league of her own. You either got it or you ain't. Hey boyz she's got it.
True ... Her voice could be pushed to the front of any band and carry it ... She covered 'Crazy' and was right with Patsy ... Many tried that song but ~nobody could cover it even close to Patsy but Linda ..She covered many songs with the Stone Poneys early on and could do it as well or better than the originals ... That just does not happen in music...
She also worn the the same mini-skirt numerous times and said that was all she had to wear .. Johnny Cash had her on show once and he had a hard time with her mini ..He looked like teenage school boy sitting with her :)
HAD. Can't sing any longer. SIN kills the body
Rick Wise Most ignorant comment ever! You must be a baptist.
Organized religion kills the brain.....
Ms. Ronstadt's grandmother had Parkinson's.
What a voice, such a woman!❤
Absolutely amazing talent -- and beautiful, too!
Such a beautiful voice, silenced by fate. My heart broke when I heard this. Just more pain in the world.
A living LEGEND 💗
A musian in my youth, so very beautiful and talented, thank you for all the wonderful memories!❤❤😅
What a smart person.... her inquisitive intelligence just pours out of her... oh yeah, she sings her a-- off! Your hometown still loves you Linda!
God,I love the intelligence, the reflection on ever.
Wat een lekker nummer. Wat een heerlijke stem. Wat een fantastische herinneringen van toen we nog jong waren!
Always an interesting "chick". A one of a kind voice and she played it in very special ways - both tough and tender. Those in her musical orbit seemed deeply devoted.
Hey, if you need to bother with quotation remarks, just don't use the word. It does not help your praise. The word 'chick' undercuts women that's why it's well out of fashion. Just don't use it.
Greatest voice ever, leaves me weak.
The hottttttest woman on the planet in her day. Damnnnnnnnnn.
Yep, no doubt about it!
The greatest regret in my life is never having been able to just kiss her once, just once square on those lovely red lips.
well she's still alive so keep trying..I always wanted to meet her too..and Stevie Nicks
My#1 sexual fantasy. Kissing those lips. I could die happy!
Robert Shea Me too and I'm a girl.... 😆
Ronstadt oozes intelligence with every word that she speaks.
A true musician. Vocal nuance, power, range, sustained vibrato, penetrating eyes, she swooned the entire bay boom generation of men
I like seeing her interviews. She’s interesting, articulate and intelligent - and she isn’t trying to project or protect an image. Oh, and yeah, one of the prettiest women I’ve EVER seen.
A voice that is the envy of all the angels in heaven!
I was blessed to see Linda Rondstadt up close singing with her fantastic band so many times as a teenager, and in 1999 with Emmylou on their duet album Western Wall, The Tucson Songs.
My muse for the 70's....What a voice.
Holy sh*t her voice is better LIVE!
Theo Schraff yes indeed!
Wow...I love this side of her❤❤
She does have great eyes. And an incredible talent. Grew up listening to my bro’s 8-tracks of Linda. Been a fan for a long time and always will be.
hmm, I am melting...what a voice!
Brilliant singer. Brilliant mind.
I worked with Linda in 1977, when I was just 21. I remember she was at times too gorgeous to be in the same room with. Much more than just looks, her very deliberate sensuality sent my train of thought right off the tracks.
The chemistry on set that night was amazing! Linda and Carson were the best! ❤️
This gal just sang better than everyone else. Glorious pure pipes and a songwriter's champion. Sigh...
Beautiful woman, and even with the bad set up she sounds powerful
Linda is an AWESOME singer, and BEAUTIFUL woman..!! It's dang shame she "Lost Her Voice".... We lost her incredible talent & charm. 😍
I got chills as soon as she hit that first chorus, damn, those pipes
