Always look forward to these "things were better in the past" BS. Linda was wonderful and one of the handful of the greatest American singers of all time. But, there are plenty of fantastic singers nowadays. You just have to get rid of your Sony walkman and do a bit of exploring. You would be surprised at what you will find even here on TH-cam.
I've been watching and listening to quite a few myself lately. I'm rather saddened about what happened to her health-wise but we can still have the memories thanks to modern technology. I'll just add a Willie Nelson song line: I'll always love you in my own peculiar way 😢
I am 76 years old and Linda Ronstadt is THE American treasure and Judith Durham is the national treasure of Australia. They are without peer. The two best female voices I have ever heard. They could sing anything. And live on stage they were other worldly. RIP Judith. Linda I miss your magic.
You obviously lived a very sheltered life. I am 82 years old and there have been dozens of great female singers through the years. To say Ronstadt and Durham are without peers, is a joke!
The first time I heard her voice was on my car radio in downtown Houston late one night as she sang "Different Drum". I was so stunned I immediately turned the wrong way down a one-way street. The person next to me asked, "You know we're going the wrong way on a one-way street, right?" In that moment I knew I would always have a crush on that voice on the radio. I'll turn 77 this year and the feeling is as strong as ever.
@@johnhirst4137 Ronstadt's romantic involvement with Jerry Brown and several other high-profile Hollywood celebrities was hardly private so, she is fair game and I do appreciate her talent as a singer.
It was. I so loved Linda. There is no pop singer, past or present who can compare and she was so modest. She makes the histrionics of our Beyonces and Lady Gagas look like a joke. She just put on a pretty dress or blouse and sang.
In a way. This concert here is in a prison. She wasn't the main act, that was a Johnny Cash prison concert and she performed like 2 songs during an intermission. She was locked in a big room with all these men, many of whom hadn't even seen a woman in months or years.
I was in love with Linda. Not only was she beautiful and talented she was my fantasy of the girl next door. And she was the best female singer of my lifetime. She did remakes of other artists songs and always did them better than the original.
The most amazing voice, her beautiful brown bright sparkling eyes a smile that could light up a city and when she wiggled her hips in that dress made me fall in love for the very first time and have been for over 40 years stay strong linda your loved by all 🌹 💕
Yes, she could belt out a rock 'n' roll song, deliver any other kind of song with her talent and tremendous voice, but the feeling she put into her Mexican roots music tugged at my heartstrings and brought tears from my soul... Viva Linda!!
She just absolutely irresistible. I can’t stand it! Beautiful looks, off the charts vocal performances, endless appeal. The list goes on. Her band was always top notch cats who were always way talented.
As I learn more about that band - with names like Andrew Gold, Waddy, Kenny Edwards....it’s clear to see (to listen to, in this case) that it’s a win win ensemble.
Ignoring her aesthetic advantages for just one moment, Linda was by some distance the best of her generation, with a voice from heaven, such versatility and a truly superior live performer [which places her light years above today's so-called talent].
George Creek and; lol yeah me as well, but at least BACK THAN, we had a very good variety of DECENT WOMAN with.morals and integrities, UN-LIKE today!! Smh 😕 Sagging tattoos, body pearsings, fowl moths, crowd off purple hair, with pierced lips & noses ect. A lot of females TRAPPED in mens bodies is what I see!! So very sad that some woman and men, are doing their uttmost too try and look like the total OPPOSITE of what God almighty made them!! I feel so bad & sad for these young men & woman of today for their selection is extremely minute!!! Smh
I first heard Linda perform with the Stone Ponys in 1968 at a club in the San Fernando Valley. Her angelic voice and beauty was an incredible experience. Thank you Linda for the memories.
This was the sexiest performance I've EVER seen from any female performer - especially with her Mary Jane's. Other women who wear practically nothing at times can't hold a candle to Lovely Linda.
I have been within a few feet of her when she sang in Washington DC, at the Cellar Door, I was the bartender at Mac's Pipe and Drum across the street on 34th street and M. And yes, she really is that beautiful...
I left school at 15 in the mid 80s to start my apprenticeship and with my first paycheck I bought 3 cassettes - Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins. Old school Country for life!....... Thank you for posting sir 👍 God bless.
Saw her live twice . Once in 1973 as opening act wth Neil Young. Fantastic!!. And again with Aaron Neville. She is the greatest female singer in rock, country, standards and pop that ever lived. I wish her all the best in her fight with her illness. A truly beautiful woman with a god given voice. Your songs echo in my heart .
Remember she knew Gram Parsons (rip) way back when. He cannot get official recognition for his contributions to Country or to Rock. The country problem is when he started the movement had had pot leaves on his Nudie suits and was known to do drugs to the Nashville crowd. He was never accepted. But Linda knew him before she knew Emmylou.
Love Linda but she’s not the only one from the 60s and 70s who was doing country rock and gave it longevity. CSNY, The Eagles, The Byrds, the list is too long to type out. She was very influential on a lot of female singers, and I saw her sing live a number of times. I liked everything she did. Saw her sing on Broadway in Pirates of Penzance too! Broke my heart when she got Parkinson’s.
@@justintime42000 Members of The Eagles we’re her back up band & she helped them get started, so she came before them, but you’re right about the others.✌️🤘👍
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw Yes, I knew that. The longevity of country rock artists from the time was the subject being discussed, not who came first. Mike Nesmith is an often overlooked name in this genre but he wrote Linda’s first hit two years before she recorded it and did other country rock songs before The Eagles played with Linda (“Joanne” is probably the most famous) if you want to talk about who came first.
@@justintime42000 Damn, I’m not looking to get in a pissin’ contest with ya. I just mentioned that Linda came before the Eagles, that’s all. But I am an old country rock musician, I’ve been in several country rock bands back in the day, so to play that kind of music I had to to my research & I got pretty good at it. So if you want to get into a screaming’ country rock trivia match, you’ll lose!! My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity!🤪
Saw her in '74 at the height of her powers, at an outdoor concert. She finished "Desperado" in a hushed voice, as we leaned forward to catch the last notes. Then she TORE into this. Pinned our ears back but good. The BEST at what she does. Bless you Linda, we will never forget the way you make us feel.
EXACTLY. Saw her in 1980 at the Capital Center with my girlfriend, now my wife of 40!! years... and I love every note of every song she sings. I will tell you that she opened up that concert with Mad Love and literally pinned every one of us to the back of our seats. I turned to wifey and said, OMG, if she keeps that up, she'll have no voice left at end. AND DANG, if her voice LITERALLY GOT STRONGER over that entire concert! Not kidding, no exaggeration, I will never, ever forget that. There are a bunch of super talented female voices - Celine, Whitney, even Gaga... but really truly, Linda is hands down the queen. Long live the queen!!
I was born in 1950, so the gorgeous Linda Ronstadt was just 4 years my senior. She was THE MAIN BABE of my generation!!! ❤❤ The Seekers from Australia (1962-68) also cover this song, but I like Linda's rendition a bit better. 👍👍🎵🎵 God bless dearest Ms. Ronstadt! 🙏🙏Thank you for posting this video, Mr. Lewers! 👏👏
Linda is beautiful inside and out. She has always supported other artists and children's art programs. She never let studio executives call her shots. She is an angel.
I was incredibly lucky to first hear her live. It seemed as though she barely parted her lips and this huge wall of sound pushed you back in your seat. It was the most incredible experience. I had never heard anything like it and to this day, I've never heard anything even close. She is the standard by which I judge other singers. She out-performed the best recording equipment of the day. No one could capture all of her voice. It was so frustrating and then, along comes the micro chip. Hallelujah!!!
@@malcolmwhite6588 It wouldn't get on my nerves. I'd get up at four in the morning to farm the land and on Saturdays to fish the oceans. I'd want to feed her voice and keep it hidden in the home. Of course, in time, there would be a divorce as I'm just a typical no good typical guy.
it was a beautiful spring day, not many people had heard of her. She came out in a short summer dress, barefoot, with flowers in her hair and began with this song. There is such a thing as love at first sight
There's definitely life before you've ever heard Linda sing and life after you've heard her sing. That's how powerful the effect of her voice and her emotion is.
Oh yes she's my all-time favorite singer and she has some of the most beautiful songs out there because she's an amazing creature! I feel grateful to have lived in the sixties and seventies to have witness her incredible music
Got to see her in Sacramento at Hugh's Stadium c.1975. The Eagles headlined the show opened by Norton Buffalo. One of the best concerts I've seen and I've seen a bunch. At 67 my children and grandchildren tease me about my age. I remind them all that means is I got to see the greatest bands ever with the original members...
I know the feeling. She was hurt to the max as many have been. But Moved on with her life and made the world a better place thanks to her talent. She is one of the Great singers of all time!💕
I’m afraid you have all this wrong. It has been proven by clinical studies at the University of Dispepsia that the act of piercing releases hidden negative energies within the body thus allowing the positive energies to exert their dominance and thereby enhancing the person’ natural abilities. In the same vein, it has been established through a widespread and independently verified survey of over 10 people that the application of a tattoo dynamically changes the personality of the wearer. Apparently, this effect is not seen with servicemen and servicewomen who largely remain unaltered. However, with everyone else, and only a rare few exceptions, the act of the tattoo plus the design of the design does seem to turn losers into winners; outsiders into insiders; the weak into the strong and the mentally challenged into experts on any subject. At least, all this is achieved into their own minds. We mustn’t also forget the very important benefit for parents of having their children’s names tattooed on them. For instance, they may have so many, with so many different partners, that they need to keep a handy record of all their names. Or, they might be, how shall we say, register low on the Dumbo Scale that they have to have a visible reminder of names in front of their eyes. However, despite all of this, the most important benefit of a person with more than a couple of tattoos is that they act as a signal for the rest of us of people who we should not waste our breath on. Here endeth the lesson.
Some dam fine voice , once to be heard never to be forgotten, sooo sad that’s she is fighting this horrible disease Loved the lady still have the albums Living in the 60s and 70s was the greatest experience of my life never to be repeated Arch
I was in my twenties when this beauty with a great voice did her thing. I had an old "66 Mustang with a cassette in it and wore her tapes out. She was great. I am 73 and still have a crush on her.
I went to Linda's "Mad Love" concert tour way back when. I had a 3nd Row Center stage seat. Awesome. A great memory. Great concert. Thanks Linda. Some things have a value that money can't buy. This was one of those.
I first heard Linda when I was 10, babysitting some friends of my parents two onerary boys. They had her music in their collection, and this was my first song I heard of hers and became enthralled with her singing❤
Only Linda could appear so wholesome and so amazingly sexy at the same time,,, and then just to top it all off we get to hear that angelic voice! there will never be another like her,
Yes. Wholesome and sexy at one and the same time. That was Linda. She would, I guess, have been every guys dream girlfriend but could also sing "I'll be your baby tonight' like the sexiestsong on the planet. She was so pretty and sweet she could outweigh the contradictions.Mama Cass once said it was difficult for a girl singer. She could either be sweet and domestic, which meant her days as a girl singer were numbered or she could be a red hot mama. I think Cass opted for the latter. Linda> I am not so sure.
I was lucky enough to see her three times. The first time she opened for Arlo Guthrie in 1969. The next two times we’re both in Phoenix Arizona maybe six months apart. Both shows were with Aaron Neville. God love this woman.
We have been so blessed to hear Linda Ronstadt and her music. I found Linda one day with a band called Stone Ponys... From there she has made a career of incredible music through all genres .. God Bless you Linda,
Linda was everyone young man's dream girl and what a fantastic voice! Did you all notice Andrew Gold on guitar and backing vocals just behind her to her right.

Hey girl singers of 2023, this is what a real voice sounds like.
She was great, wasn't she?! Fabulous voice.
She was awesome and beautiful too
Although I think Dusty and Tom did a better job!
Damn right!!!!
Always look forward to these "things were better in the past" BS. Linda was wonderful and one of the handful of the greatest American singers of all time. But, there are plenty of fantastic singers nowadays. You just have to get rid of your Sony walkman and do a bit of exploring. You would be surprised at what you will find even here on TH-cam.
I just realized why TH-cam was created: to watch Linda Ronstadt videos.
I've been watching and listening to quite a few myself lately. I'm rather saddened about what happened to her health-wise but we can still have the memories thanks to modern technology. I'll just add a Willie Nelson song line:
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way 😢
Add a few names to the list and it'll be quite right. Without YT, I would have never seen her when she was this young and beautiful.
Second that!
Funny!!!!
Yeahhh.. Agree with you. I love her soooo much
Simply the best female vocalist of her (and my) generation.
... Which "Generation" would that be Then... Probably The Same 'Gen' as Mne I Expect. Tee! Hee! Hee! 🏴✌️
Boomers!@@TS-1267
Well, that's beyond question. She could and did sing songs covering all genres. No auto-tuning, tattoos, just natural singing.
Well yes, but let's say Linda AND
Karen Carpenter.
Linda Ronstadt did not need a microphone or being a fony to get a unworthy reputation.she needed no sexual propaganda just her voice
"There are two kinds of men in this world. Those with a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who never heard of her." - Willie Nelson.
I think Willie said that about Ronstadt's good friend, Emmylou Harris.
Emmylou Harris is the true queen of this category of female singers.
Nope... Linda was the number 1 singer during her time. Her friend is not even a fourth of Linda's popularity at those times...@@tomc8617
@tomc8617 I think you are right, seems I have heard that sometime in the past.
Amen brother
no disrespect intended to Emmylou but Linda is my dream girl. @@tomc8617

And she had Jerry Brown.
@@Jerry-rf8bn :- Her private life is her affair ( pardon the pun ) we should appreciate her talent as a singer & nothing else

Dear Linda Ronstadt: YOU NAILED IT X10000 and this is one of so many reasons why you are appreciated.
Lots of men longing for Linda and the good old days of our youth!! 😂
I will join the bandwagon for the music and my youth lol
Hi how’re you doing?
You can't beat 70's era Linda Ronstadt. Her voice was so strong then, it was a force of nature.
It was. I so loved Linda. There is no pop singer, past or present who can compare and she was so modest. She makes the histrionics of our Beyonces and Lady Gagas look like a joke. She just put on a pretty dress or blouse and sang.
she stayed strong all the ways through to the 90's. Check out her performance of 'don't know much' at like the 90 oscars.
She was pretty damn easy to look at also
I miss this beautiful human !!
One more time! Wow!
Now I see why as a kid , my dad always took us to see Linda in concert . She was 🔥
Yeah!!!
Scorching!!
Lucky kid george!

Getting old sucks. Linda Ronstadt, this is how i remember you.
Natural beauty, natural talent...who could ask for anything more?
We could ask for her health and beautiful voice back stay strong linda your loved by all 🌹 💕
I was married to Linda Ronstadt in the 70's..... but damned if I didn't keep waking up.
Same here...
We all had to share her,,
Bacon’s burning, coffee’s on
My gf in the late 80s coulda been Linda's twin.
LOL
Glorious pipes. Cool, sensual and honestly down to earth. No one else quite like Ronstadt in the 70s. Love her still.

Were not old.

I fell in love with Linda Ronstadt the very first time I heard Different Drum in Dec. 1967....I was 12...and I have loved her ever since!
That's just about my favourite - but she's recorded so many, many beautiful ones.
I was 17 in 1967. I still love her.
The one lpi regret not still having is the stone pony’s with her on the cover.
This has always been one of my favorite Linda Ronstadt recordings. She sure was beautiful at this time of her life.👍
She was perfect and no one comes close 5 decades later!
That is God's honest truth and I know for sure there's no one else I'd rather hear to sing anything except for Linda
This was the sexiest performance I've EVER seen from any female performer - especially with her Mary Jane's. Other women who wear practically nothing at times can't hold a candle to Lovely Linda.
The best vokalist in the world in my lifetime .I was born 1956 btw.
The best and most versatile singer that has ever lived.... ask any professional musician.
She was absolutely hands down the BEST female Rock Vocalist EVER. EVER EVER EVER.
Her, followed by Dusty Springfield and Carol King
Ann Wilson says hello.
hands UP
Women of the 2000- 2024, you don't have to dress half naked to look beautiful, and this is what a great voice sounds like.
Grabs the microphone and lets go. GORGEOUS pipes - pure, natural and unadorned delivered in the joint. Wow early Linda- nothing better.
I have been within a few feet of her when she sang in Washington DC, at the Cellar Door, I was the bartender at Mac's Pipe and Drum across the street on 34th street and M. And yes, she really is that beautiful...
I've loved this song since I was a boy growing up in South Alabama in the 50's.
This is the best version I've ever heard, by FAR! ❤

Got to see her in Sacramento at Hugh's Stadium c.1975. The Eagles headlined the show opened by Norton Buffalo. One of the best concerts I've seen and I've seen a bunch. At 67 my children and grandchildren tease me about my age. I remind them all that means is I got to see the greatest bands ever with the original members...
I saw her summer of '69 at Disneyland - she and the Stone Ponys had a gig there - they shared our break area - OMG
Great singing, great voice, she is a real singer, not like all these fake singers. No autotune here.
Brilliant
I know the feeling. She was hurt to the max as many have been. But
Moved on with her life and made the world a better place thanks to her talent. She is one of the Great singers of all time!💕
😊
Now this is a real singer with a beautiful voice and real country music I grew up with her music👍
Probably the BEST female singer of all time. She can sing anything. Definitely belt out a tune.

@@cgdombrowoh please be real...Brittany??..really?! She has a nice voice & looks, with a few hits to her name, but that's where it ends!

Mighty mighty ..
Linda is in a leagues of her own....
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters... we love HER HERE she is a legend...
This lady is one of a kind!!! Just love her music 😊
Hello So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
A real beautiful woman no tattoos no peircings.
And those 2 little rabbit teeth... oh yeah...
Or piercings
So right! That tattoo shit is for losers.
And those legs !!
I’m afraid you have all this wrong. It has been proven by clinical studies at the University of Dispepsia that the act of piercing releases hidden negative energies within the body thus allowing the positive energies to exert their dominance and thereby enhancing the person’ natural abilities.
In the same vein, it has been established through a widespread and independently verified survey of over 10 people that the application of a tattoo dynamically changes the personality of the wearer. Apparently, this effect is not seen with servicemen and servicewomen who largely remain unaltered. However, with everyone else, and only a rare few exceptions, the act of the tattoo plus the design of the design does seem to turn losers into winners; outsiders into insiders; the weak into the strong and the mentally challenged into experts on any subject. At least, all this is achieved into their own minds.
We mustn’t also forget the very important benefit for parents of having their children’s names tattooed on them. For instance, they may have so many, with so many different partners, that they need to keep a handy record of all their names. Or, they might be, how shall we say, register low on the Dumbo Scale that they have to have a visible reminder of names in front of their eyes.
However, despite all of this, the most important benefit of a person with more than a couple of tattoos is that they act as a signal for the rest of us of people who we should not waste our breath on.
Here endeth the lesson.
Linda has the biggest, best powerhouse voice, raw talent, she is amazing and I miss her so much. Thinking of you with love Linda 🌸💗🌸
She has a amazing voice!!!
She sings with such feeling and Gives it to us, and we need that feeling today more than ever.
so beautiful, so talented....she had the world in the palm of her pretty little hands
When we all were young and beautiful...memories are so bitter sweet.
Except I never was good looking.
Those where the days. Thanks for letting me relive them
She's great and looks beyond adorable in this vid
Those pipes served her and us her fan base very very well. Thank you Linda.
the best singer in the world . I listened to her in the seventies and still do. Greatings from Sweden.
+Ulf Can't touch Karen Carpenter, say it like it is mate!
In addition to her wonderful voice, she is so beautiful.
GORGEOUS vocals and a DREAMBOAT with unadorned coolness.
Some dam fine voice , once to be heard never to be forgotten, sooo sad that’s she is fighting this horrible disease
Loved the lady still have the albums
Living in the 60s and 70s was the greatest experience of my life never to be repeated

Gorgeous pipes. Pure, natural and an amazing authentic vibe. Rock on!
I was in my twenties when this beauty with a great voice did her thing. I had an old "66 Mustang with a cassette in it and wore her tapes out. She was great. I am 73 and still have a crush on her.
I’m 69 and still have a crush on her. Like no one else. She was something special.
You sure they weren't 8-tracks?
@@atatterson6992 This was in the early seventies and they were definitely cassettes.
One of my first (and definitely my most enduring) celebrity crushes.
Early Linda always a joy to see and hear. Her vocals and vibe were so natural. She's still quite fascinating.
My favorite female singer of all time! She had such an incredible voice. Could sing anything and make it hers! She was also so damn cute!❤❤😊
The greatest female singer there ever has been in Rock & Roll! Nothing more to say!
They played this on country stations here, not rock....
Agreed. And country and folk and Spanish and even Pirates of Penzance.
I believe you may be right.
Albert Zinn hold on Pimpin, what about Queen Anne of Heart! Ohhh my god!
@@georgepainter7364 Yes, Anne from Heart..... she's still a fabulous singer.
She could sing a ballad and make you cry in your beer and then belt out a country rocker and have you dancing again. So talented and pretty!
So true !
One thing you can always count on with Ronstadt. The performances are authentic.
I went to Linda's "Mad Love" concert tour way back when. I had a 3nd Row Center stage seat. Awesome. A great memory. Great concert. Thanks Linda. Some things have a value that money can't buy. This was one of those.
I first heard Linda when I was 10, babysitting some friends of my parents two onerary boys. They had her music in their collection, and this was my first song I heard of hers and became enthralled with her singing❤
Only Linda could appear so wholesome and so amazingly sexy at the same time,,, and then just to top it all off we get to hear that angelic voice! there will never be another like her,
couldnt have said it better....................
Yes. Wholesome and sexy at one and the same time. That was Linda. She would, I guess, have been every guys dream girlfriend but could also sing "I'll be your baby tonight' like the sexiestsong on the planet. She was so pretty and sweet she could outweigh the contradictions.Mama Cass once said it was difficult for a girl singer. She could either be sweet and domestic, which meant her days as a girl singer were numbered or she could be a red hot mama. I think Cass opted for the latter. Linda> I am not so sure.
Have to agree,Friend......................
Yes she is one special lady with the most amazing voice I've ever heard
I'm so glad I lived through the 70s and witnessed the great musical talent on both sides of the Atlantic
GOD---Linda is so,so,BLOODY AMAZING.
From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan.
Linda's legacy will live on forever.
I was lucky enough to see her three times. The first time she opened for Arlo Guthrie in 1969. The next two times we’re both in Phoenix Arizona maybe six months apart. Both shows were with Aaron Neville. God love this woman.
An unmatched voice with a phenomenal range. The voice of our generation. Plus, she was my first crush back in high school.😊
Beautiful music, voice and class. Eat your heart out Taylor Swift.
Hi how are you doing?
We have been so blessed to hear Linda Ronstadt and her music. I found Linda one day with a band called Stone Ponys... From there she has made a career of incredible music through all genres .. God Bless you Linda,
She excelled in so many genres. Just the best. ❤
Linda was everyone young man's dream girl and what a fantastic voice! Did you all notice Andrew Gold on guitar and backing vocals just behind her to her right.
Love her voice and singing. And she is good looking. Hope she is still singing.
Afraid not, she has progressive supranuclear palsy
Gad, the hacks that pass as talent today. They'll never top Linda. Class act all the way...
