Amazing! First time hearing LINDA RONSTADT TUMBLING DICE REACTION

[@randyventresca4152]

The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.

[@johnkennettle7567]

And there is always the underappreciated Waddy Wachtel doing backup vocals and lead guitar.

[@renatasingslindaronstadtss4257]

When Linda sang a song that was by another artist, the song automatically became Linda's. she did it like no one else, pure talent.

[@JeanetteFaith]

Linda didn't write her own songs ever. Either a cover or just another songwriter who maybe never made it as a singer.

[@cathyortiz1280]

After Mick Jagger heard Linda's version, he said, "This song is her's now." She owned it!!! "Just One Look," "Long, Long, Time," "Desperado" & play some of her Mexican songs. Just incredible voice as she could sing anything!

[@barbarabrafford7102]

She certainly did own it. I can't even hear the stones version anymore. I keep imposing her version on top of theirs! Their way just doesn't sound right after her version.

[@robertkelly6282]

Let’s see Linda vs mick lol

[@danquinnell3502]

Not just her voice tho… the arrangements were totally boss as well. Butch there is that voice…

[@descendantoffools9767]

Her version of Warren Zevon's Poor Poor Pitiful Me was another huge hit for her.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

She did another of Zevons song on Live at Budokan Mohammed s Radio

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Should do How do I make You live and Living in The USA

[@TriGator]

Not only were Linda's vocals killer on this cover but her band was killer. Linda's bands always were top notch musicians.

[@janepiper-lunt7655]

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Waddy Wachtel, one of my favorites. He also played on some Stones songs. Couldn’t see who was on drums

[@Macilmoyle]

That was recorded in Houston, Texas at The Summit, I so happen to be there. I was 19 years of age 🎶

[@edevard9048]

Her first solo hit, Long, Long Time, is a must hear!!!

[@JeanetteFaith]

I agree!

[@davewilson435]

She does a great cover of the Eagles song "Desperado".

[@HenryInHawaii]

It was her cover of Desperado that convinced the Eagles record company that this music would sell

[@mrb4749]

She noted for doing covers as good or better than the original so is Dusty Springfield.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

@@HenryInHawaii no it wasnt

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

A mezzo-soprano who could sing anything. She did pop, rock, country, jazz, blues, mariachi and opera. There's not much else you could ask from a single artist. By the way, she killed it in every one of them.

[@stevious7278]

Linda. A beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice; and if you know about her life, a beautiful heart to match. No sexy outfit. No pyrotechnics. No stage dancers. No auto tune Just raw talent and a microphone.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

Most of Linda Ronstadt’s songs are covers but she just OWNS them. What an incredible voice she had. I can’t imagine loosing such a remarkable gift as she has. 🤟🏻🤟🏻✌🏻

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Yes. She never wrote her own songs!

[@jimreedy1960]

The guitar player next to her is Waddy Wachtel, a real pro. Before they went out on their own the Eagles were her band. No wonder her music sounds so good.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

Waddy is a beast. Played on a lot of great Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon records too.

[@okpainter9700]

Thats Andrew Gold on her other side ✌🏼

[@terryneale8663]

Maybe that's why the eagles were so good 🤔😉

[@xqqqme]

Waddy's still kickin'...playing and touring with some of The Section in The Immediate Family.

[@mistyloposser7370]

Must hear Linda cover Smokey Robinson tracks of my tears if u haven’t already and ooohh baby baby … magnifique !!!

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

Thank you for the review of Linda's Tumblin Dice. Ronstadt is rocking here with the Mick Jagger/Keith Richard's original. But Libda delivers with more seductive vocals... agressive, yet feminine.

[@gianlucad8003]

So talented, so perfect and so multi dimensional. The genre didn't matter to her, what a tremendous singer, the greatest ever bar none.

[@garyzimmermann7663]

Her little head toss near the end is burned into my memory

[@ozman9353]

I'd almost forgotten how great a singer she is. Outstanding.

[@brucedillinger9448]

I will never forget what an incredible singer she was as she is in my list of top 5 vocalists.

[@alexjohnson2068]

Linda's version of Just One Look is worth a listen too! Cheers Harri 💐

[@petermcculloch4933]

Linda's Just One Look is the perfect pop song

[@collincolston8443]

She does a great cover of "Willin".

[@russellbrown1068]

Great reaction Bruh. Linda was on a whole other level in her day. God Bless Linda Ronstadt.

[@rucerius4968]

She did an excellent cover of Buddy Holly's 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' which she rearranged to fit her voice and style. There's a video of her singing this in Atlanta in 1977, well worth watching... just a girl, a guitar and a microphone.

[@kevinb3812]

That my friends is what you call a Cover!!!

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Some of Mick’s most interesting lyrics, and one of their finest offerings. Linda was NEVER a lazy vocalist or artist, either in studio or live, and that’s a fact. She was driven to get it right always. Notice how she sang every single note as The Stones recorded it. Harri, she didn’t like changing the gender lyrics in her covers either, simply because she always tried to stay true to the original artist’s intent as recorded. Saw this Tour and will never lose the admiration I hold for her. She’s a pro’s pro, and there won’t be anyone else like her again. As you can see she could throw that remarkably powerful, pitch perfect voice of hers to the back of any venue she performed in. A living legend who turns 78 in about 3 months… 🎂🍻Cheers!

[@aviatom1]

Every guy I knew had a crush on her back in the day lol

[@markgreene6115]

Is there anything Linda can't sing? Amazing!

[@39thala]

Her studio recording of this song was included on her "Simple Dreams" album (Probably my personal favorite of all her albums!). I bought the LP when it came out for the song, "Blue Bayou" but found it had all sorts of treasures like "Tumbling Dice" among other excellent songs! (Carmelita, I Never Will Marry, Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me, etc). And yes, like you Harri, Linda's version was the first time I was able to actually hear what the lyrics were saying!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

I add my vote to all recommendations below. My favorites are "willin' ", "faithless love" and "someone to lay down beside me"

[@Jonni1027]

Yes to all ❤️

[@andythrush3341]

Linda could sing anything, anywhere, and with anyone! Such a talent. "Long time Gone" on Bobby Darrin's show is exceptional. The recording is fantastic. Thanks, Harri!

[@gonetoutah]

That is why they called her the Queen of Rock.

[@michaelsica8839]

After she sang a song, she owned the song!

[@tootz1950]

Linda sang this with Mick at one of the Stones concert...terrific, as expected.

[@loriedwards4953]

The rumors have always been that Beast of Burden was written about Linda. Mick had quite the hots for her, wanted more than working together. But, she wouldn't have it. She was known to have a clean cut reputation. She had also worked with alot of talented male band members .The Eagles where all in her band in the beginning. All the men loved her, she has always kept a very good reputation in the business.

[@88wildcat]

Plus she was all sixes, sevens, and nines with the governor of California at the time anyway.

[@vickilee7494]

She is a legend. Duet with Aaron Neville is a must. She sings beautifully in Spanish. There would be no Eagles without her.

[@JeanetteFaith]

Probably would be no Eagles either without Jackson Browne. He taught Glen Fry how to write.

[@User_gin_927untileternity]

She was impressive!! I really liked her covers of Desperado (Eagles) and other covers~very talented :)

[@Peter-oh3hc]

One of the Eagles said that Desperado was not a hit for them until after she covered it

[@2zxodcfm]

A fantastic singer with a kick ass band. With this performance Linda owns this song. What could be better?

[@debbiechang5781]

I just knew you would become a fan eventually (without me nagging you) of this stunningly talented woman. 😂😂 You mention her power and volume! Her road crew used to call her Mighty Mite because she is only 5’2” and she had that huge, powerful voice! I rest my case! 🌺✌️

[@mikefinity7129]

And. The tone. The control. Tke musical knowledge and insight. The knack of hitting EVERY note right on the sweet spot. All equal to her vocal power, second to none.❤

[@mikedineen7857]

Thank you for opening Harri eyes to Linda. I am a old man and I am still in love her.

[@mikefinity7129]

I''ve been listening to a lot of Linda these days. I'm about to give up wearing socks - she keeps knocking 'em off ❤❤❤

[@topgazza]

Very nicely done Harri. This a brilliant version. Thanks for doing this. I love Linda’s voice and soul

[@johnkelley2201]

Haha, plus she is way better to look at, then old Mick, as well!!

[@braider1000]

Best voice in history !

[@kartaan]

Well, if you loved Linda singing a man's lyric here without changing the words, I can't wait for you to react to Different Drum by The Stone Ponies (before she went out under her own name)!

[@Jonni1027]

Hahaha!!!! Exactly! I forgot how unusual Different Drum was when it came out... for a woman to want to keep her freedom

[@pmcclaren1]

Angel voice that can roll like thunder and then melt you away into velvet. And her beauty is STUNNING, Breath-Taking!

[@brianunroe2488]

One of the best adaptations ever

[@williamcabell142]

WOW! Every young man back in the was in love with her!❤️😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pushpak]

3:45 Linda didn't change the lyrics of the covers she did. I hope you go deeper into her music; brilliant singer; most people just do 'Blue Bayou' and 'You're No Good' and I've tried to get other Reactors to react to this, to no avail. You should watch the documentary 'Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice' on your own time. Her influence in music is beyond being a great singer. Linda could sing anything and did.

[@Jonni1027]

I also certainly wish reactor’s wouldn’t pick her hits but definitely indeed go deeper into her music. I’m glad Harri picked Tumbling Dice ❤️. Oh yeah...and the documentary done on her is really really great!!!!

[@brucedillinger9448]

Actually there are a couple of instances in which the lyrics were changed but for the most part...no she didn't.

[@johnnyhawkins43]

In one of Hank Jr's hits he sings I am in love with Linda Ronstadt !

[@LilRocker2005]

This particular performance was recorded live for use in the 1978 movie FM, about a very popular radio station in Los Angeles. Definitely a movie that is worth a watch! They also had her record one line of dialogue for the movie, thanking one of the movie's characters for broadcasting that concert live, which is a fairly huge plot point for the first half of the movie Also, her guitar player in this performance is Waddy Wachtel, known mainly now for playing with Stevie Nicks since 1981

[@dianesaienni5466]

Always been a fan of hers. The her rendition of smokey Robinson oh baby.

[@vickilee7494]

Thank you I can understand her

[@anthonymunn8633]

If you want to hear Linda singing an all-out rocker in the era of Blondie and Pat Benatar,check out "How Do I Make You?" From 1980.

[@donlawson3330]

She did lots of covers of “guy” songs, “Different Drum” (as singer for “The Stone Poneys”) and “Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me” among them (and big hits each as well).

[@brianunroe2488]

Awesome rendition

I agree, I saw both reactions with the moment of silence; very classy and thoughtful Harri, that gesture alone would bring me back to your reactions, which are very good themselves 👍

[@christianmattison6096]

This woman could sing any genre and excel. She stomped in through the doors of rock n roll, jumped into country with both feet and switched over to 1940's torch songs with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra as if she was born for it, then polished off her career with incredible Mexican classics. No one could compare with her!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Linda is just so phenomenal. So glorious. So iconic.

[@KYRealEstech]

Heard her tell the story that she came backstage after a show and this guy was standing there with a beer and said why don’t you sing more rock and roll. She said write me some. Then realized it was Mick. A few weeks later this and another songs showed up.

[@bobjones6572]
