[@lynneblacketer6479]

Keep in mind, this was live, all her voice. No pitch correct or autotune.

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

Wow ... an 8.4 to the greatest singer I've ever heard and that's also in concert ! Trust me, she's a 10 and beyond on her worst day !

[@dagmar.6954]

Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "You're No Good", "Long, Long Time", "Don't Know Much", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs. You might also enjoy her collaborations with "Dolly Parton" & "Emmylou Harris". They did a few albums together called "Trio" in 1987 & 1999.

[@rickrack4812]

U 4got HEAT WAVE

[@tolowreading6807]

and Gilbert and Sullivan!

[@deadandburied7626]

The Eagles formed from some of Linda's backup musicians, they did exist as a group before working for Linda. Glen Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, Joe Walsh etc all played for and with Linda.

[@clp548]

And she was lead singer with The Stone Poneys

[@patrickstell1179]

You left out her remarkable album in Spanish"Canciones de Mi Padre". Remarkable Singer Person,Amazing Women.

[@827dusty]

Linda had one of the most powerful female voices in the world. She used to tour with The Eagles in the early 70s. She had so many hit songs in the 70s, she was a huge star. Not to mention she is drop dead gorgeous! Thanks

[@rebapuck5061]

Correction... The Eagles toured with Linda.

[@nancy9891]

The Eagles were not the Eagles but individual members of her band. Glen Frye and Don Henley related to her that they wanted to start a band and she set them up with the right people and the Eagles were born. Linda has multiple Grammy Awards, multi platinum albums and the list goes on.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Linda Ronstadt, 100 million records sold, classically trained, country/rock cross over, bi-lingual, Mexican heritage, sold out performances of her special "Canciones' de Mi Padre" (Songs of My Father) in Mexico, amazing production! Hope you find time to react to some of her music from that. To say Linda Ronstadt is amazing is an understatement of the first order. Thank you for a wonderful reaction.

[@ericanderson8886]

From the Mariachis "La Charreada" to Rocks "You're No Good" to Big Bands "What's New" one of the great female vocalists from the seventies and eighties.

[@mikeplott4817]

Thanks I hope they react to it live ❤😁

[@crmlcd]

These guys are not familiar with the steel guitar it seems.

[@mikedineen7857]

And Broadway

[@carljacobson8342]

Live version of La Ciggara. she holds that note forever!

[@saries54]

She was named the "Rock Queen" of the seventies. Sold 100 thousand records and 35 albums. She was the most versatile female artist we have ever had.

[@vincentlavallee2779]

She sold 100 million albums, NOT 100 thousand!!!

[@c.henderson2663]

The lovely Linda no one can touch her, she was one of the top female artists of the 70's and 80's, she did this live, no auto tune artists don't perform like this anymore. She was a pure musical genius who explored multiple musical genres and was a smashing success in all of them!

[@ChrisDeWine]

Here's a fun fact. In the late 70s and early 80s in Major League Baseball a "Linda Ronstadt" was the term for a pitch so fast it left batters watching it go by because it just "blew by you"

[@debbiechang5781]

This is the most beautiful female voice on the planet. Linda has a forty year catalogue spanning multiple genres. She could sing anything to perfection and make it her own. Please explore this gorgeous rabbit hole. 🌺✌️

[@tom7471]

Linda Ronstadt sang country, country rock, pop, rock, and opera. She was the best selling female voice of her time, and considered one of the most versatile and accomplished female voices in the history of music.

[@FirstnameLastname-dg4bq]

and mariachi

[@meditationlifeskills]

She always delivers 100% dives into her song and performance. They are the best musicians in every corner of the stage. She is an American treasure!

[@bella-xp7qd]

Linda could sing any genre. Won many awards for her variety of genres.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Okay guys, now YOU sing it and let's see what random number we come up with. She has earned 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, and an ALMA Award. Many of her albums have been certified gold, platinum or multiplatinum in the United States and internationally. How many awards do you have? In 2013, after years of struggling with her vocals, Ronstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. However, she later learned that she actually had a Parkinson’s-like disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Thomas Timlin Haha, Thomas, you must be new here, we often say we have zero talent and the scores are just our scores for a bit of fun and are no way related to the talent, but just our thoughts on hearing that particular song for the first time. Also, we have no idea what we are talking about. You are free to score it anyway you see fit. Our main goal here is to discover artists and songs we have never hear of before and expand our musical knowledge and share our thoughts and musings along the way. All the best

[@eturfrey]

Many reckon the best female vocalist of that era. I’ll second that.

[@chrispavlich9656]

Karen Carpenter.

[@phrederickg]

Imagine thinking "there's something not quite right" with Linda's voice when she's belting out a song...to each their own I guess

[@katrinaprescott5911]

I think what he was saying is that the microphone wasn't capturing the full range of her voice - which is entirely possible.

[@XercesandAlexander]

@@katrinaprescott5911 That's how I undestood it.

[@plaidpaisley5918]

Kinda crazy.

[@denisehaukkala9742]

Linda ronstadt really shows off her voice in the Pirates of Penzance operata poor lonely One. Trio was a special project that took the three star friends ten years to legally allow an album. Dolly parton, emmy lou harris, and linda ronstadt went for folk / Appalachian country style to honor Dolly and won a Grammy for the effort. Ironically linda loved singing harmony and was thrilled to not sing lead on most of the songs.

[@momD612]

She's got an incredible voice & a variety of wonderful songs. (It's pronounced "by-you" 😉). "When will I be loved" is 1 of her big hits...*Home Free did an awesome cover! "Silver threads & golden needles", "that'll be the day", "desperado", "you're no good", "poor poor pitiful me", "it's so easy".... are a few good ones! 😉🥰🥰 P.S. we'd love to see BP2 shaking it in a hula skirt! 😂😂😂

[@clp548]

BAH-you ... did you ever see the movie, The Waterboy, one of Adam Sandler's best? The Louisiana marshy, woodsy, wetland area where the Waterboy (Adam Sandler) lived, is a bayou area. What they ate in the movie (baby alligators, etc.) presumes a river is nearby, which would be the bayou proper. So you'll find a bayou in Louisiana, and possibly other states with that weather and marshy terrain.

[@RJ-oy7cq]

BP1 you are crazy when Linda belts she's fantastic.

[@lnl3237]

Ms. Ronstadt will be 77 on July 15th. So grateful for all the beauty and joy her music has given us.

[@lauraautry6992]

Awesome singer and have been a fan since the early 70’s. One of the best voices ❤️🤗🎶

[@patrickstell1179]

Too FULLY appreciate Linda Ronstadts vocal talent and range listen to the voice and the music,too me it sounds like she said"English is to speak,Spanish is for singing".She is One Remarkable Women.

[@firedoc5]

Linda was my first album cover crush, then listening to her just made me fall in love with her even more. She is one of the most versatile singers of all time with everything from soft rock, country, jazz, rock, Latin American, and even opera. Unfortunately, her voice has been silenced due to Parkinson's. I remember when my sister was a toddler, she would stand on my grandfather's feet and dance to this song.

[@annfrost3323]

The bayous are the swamps of Louisiana.

[@garyr8739]

A bit more information: "She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin Recording Academy in 2011 and also awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2016. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. On July 28, 2014, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts and Humanities. She has lent her voice to over 120 albums and has sold more than 100 million records, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. Christopher Loudon, of Jazz Times, wrote in 2004 that Ronstadt is "blessed with arguably the most sterling set of pipes of her generation.""

[@nanp544]

She’s a fabulous singer!💞 Great reaction 🎼🤗

[@abevillanueva1974]

Linda...Grammy Award winning vocalist in several genre' categories...rock, pop, country, latin. But, her best was singing in collaboration with the Nelson Riddly Orchestra singing the American Standards. A most BEAUTIFUL vocalist of all-time!

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

I wish people would stop calling these songs "American standards:" or "American songbook". They are Jazz ballads. Look at when they were written and who wrote them. Look at who recorded them. These songs are jazz ballads.

[@BarrySowder]

Brits, I was at Linda's famous 1977 concert at Universal Studios LA when she wore a cub scout uniform. The concert was amazing and her voice swept the whole crowd away. She has been my favorite female vocalist of all time . . . until I discovered Angelina Jordan 3 years ago. Now I have 2 favorites!

[@mikeplott4817]

Me to 👍🙏👣

[@lnl3237]

The Cub Scout Concert? Please tell us more!

[@BarrySowder]

@@lnl3237 The outdoor Universal Amphitheater was perfectly intimate for an evening, autumn, superstar concert, holding 5200 people in the form of a C with the stage at the opening of the C. Our seats were about 30 ft away from Linda stage left but still a little in front of the stage. There were two large speakers, one at each end of the stage. We could hear her clear voice perfectly from our speaker as though we were wearing right-eared headphones. "Blue Bayou" was a new song for her and was of course spectacular. She sang for about an hour and a half or so and when she reached "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me" toward the end of the concert, it carried me completely away. I was 21 and fully in love with her by the end if I wasn't before. And Linda in that Cub scout uniform . . . I think you can imagine. She sold out 12 concerts there which was a new record, beating the old record of seven. Linda was 31 (looked 25) and was at the height of her powers.

[@lnl3237]

@@BarrySowder Cannot thank you enough, Barry, for putting me right there. What a venue! What a seat! She writes about this concert and the uniform (which they used for the poster of the 2019 documentary) in her memoir. I've seen still photos from this concert but there's no video, so thank you again for taking the time to describe what it was like to be there. I was an uncool teen/twenty something in the 70's and 80's and just spun my vinyls up in my room. Glad you were there to witness this tremendous artist and the amazing talent with which she surrounded herself. Keep commenting on other videos!

[@dusty4835]

Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her."

[@oldschool72]

This performance is from 1977...it was top five on the charts and I ran right out and bought the single...

[@joelthomas403]

One of her best! She is definitely one of the greats. You can visualize this song.

[@sonnycathey5091]

WILLIE Nelson said, there are 2 kinds of men. Those who love Linda Rondstadt and those who don’t know her.

[@donaldduck2139]

if you listen to the studio version you'll hear the sound you were wanting to hear at the higher pitch, she sounds a lot warmer

[@gerardhodkinson2334]

Best voice ever, love Linda

[@williamcabell142]

Divas my ass....they can’t hold a candle to Linda! Not that’s a Talent! ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@thomastimlin1724]

I would never have tattoos of Divas on my ass, lol. But if I had a tattoo of Linda, it would be next to my heart.

[@jakesmith5278]

Linda Ronstadt the legend.

[@nhennessy6434]

She was the greatest singer of her era. You listed but a fraction of her awards, achievement and accolades. Will be rediscovered by every succeeding generation from now on, because her stuff will hold up for as long as people listen to music.

[@kima.4268]

She was one of the best voices in many genres. Amazing writer as well. Wrote many Eagles songs. The Mariachis "La Charreda" is an amazing vocal performance and super fun video!

[@bucketheadistheman]

One of the best vocalists of all time. 11 GRAMMY AWARDS

[@1after909]

I’m amazed that Linda was not that big in the UK..She was one of the biggest stars ad rightfully so here in the US in the 70’s and 80’s.. one of the all time great female singers

[@annfrost3323]

To clarify, the Kennedy Center is a performance auditorium in Wash DC, named in honor of President Kennedy. It celebrates outstanding, long lasting performers in music and dance every year. Kennedy family is not involved. By the way, I'm flying to DC to attend a concert next month.

[@toodlescae]

Her family and my mom's family all lived in Tucson. Her brother, Pete Ronstadt, was friends with my uncle and attended his funeral in 2000. They all recorded songs at the same studio in the 50's/60's. Some of them are here on youtube. Pete Ronstadt had his group with his name as lead, Pete Ronstadt & The Nightbeats. My uncle was with Jack Wallace & The Hi-Tones. My uncle's 3rd wife also recorded there. Gayle Ann & The Marsedes.

[@tom7471]

What a neat story!

[@lnl3237]

THank you for sharing!

[@carolburnett190]

That brought back lots of memories. I think the 70s lack of technology made this one a bit difficult. It’s really a haunting sort of tune.

[@angelastabler9237]

What you’re hearing in the background are rhythms & instrumentation taken from Zydeco - the native music of southern Louisiana- aka Bayou (btw- pronounced “by you”) country

[@RowdyRuth]

Linda’s so awesome! This one never made my playlist but a bunch of her other songs did ❤ Different Drum was my favorite way to break up with boys 😂

[@firefighterchick]

Another incredible female singer! She sang some great duets across the decades as well, including with Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, and more.

[@wynnyoder5605]

Heard her sing thing many times live. Great voice.

[@roszyknuke]

Please, Please, PLEASE follow up on Linda and all of her various collaborations. You will NOT be disappointed..

[@chuck4tnvols681]

She did a concert in 1974 with Johnny Cash ,and Roy Clark at the Tennessee State Prison for the inmates.

[@smg85051]

A tender, heartbreaking song that she performs so nicely is "A River For Him"

[@lordlockdown64]

She has a lovely voice.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

You may be interested to know that the bayou is a low level flat water area that is found in parts of the southern U.S. mainly near the Mississippi River near New Orleans. It's kind of a marsh or slow moving river. That's the feeling you're getting.

[@thehorrorfanx]

More Linda please!

[@dem7615]

One of her best

[@ronaldoberne4221]

she know as the queen of rock and roll, to show her best voice is on long, long time

[@Wiley_Coyote]

This is what a supreme female voice sounded like pre-autotune.

[@alrifr5786]

She told a couple of her band members to make a group and introduced them to a couple of other guys....that goup became a little known group called the Eagles.

[@margaretsimmons1598]

Bayou is a swamp you’re not gonna find hula girls there lol

[@hifinsword]

For the Brits here, Bayou is pronounced with the A silent. It's Blue "Bye U".

[@martian50]

Linda is one of the best, and most versatile, singers ever. It's not often mentioned by we Yanks, but you Brits might enjoy one of her best performances from her starring role in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway: "Poor Wandering One," kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfNcn2kabh2Y9k

[@sharonpate5481]

I saw Linda in concert years ago in the 80’s and she was awesome! Namaste 🙏🏼 👵🏼☮️💜 the Trio albums are amazing, you should definitely check out “High Sierra” (Linda does the main vocal) 😎

[@dennisthemenace671]

Thanks for doing Linda Ronstadt , this particular video has low audio for some reason , its not you guys , she did a cover of patsy clines Crazy , best version is from a concert in germany its posted by the Pretzel farmer .

[@BritPopsReact]

@Dennis the menace Cheers Dennis and great name BTW, he was my fave comic growing up. Thanks for the nice comment and we follow up with more soon

[@carmenwise2256]

This Lady can sing anything. Spanish, Opera, Rock, Country,Jazz. Anything. Remember she sings Live.No tricks with auto tune or BS they use in today's music. She is definitely TOPS. Do a little more research & y'all will understand better. She is an American Treasure.🇺🇸

[@Macilmoyle]

The percussion on this was played by her producer Peter Asher who was part of 60s group Peter and Gordon and brother of Jane Asher.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

You guys should really get into more Linda Rondstat. She is the diva of 20th century music. She did everything from pop rock to opera and that includes everything in between.

[@genataylor460]

She used to date the governor of California, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown. She attended a Catholic high school here in San Antonio, TX and would come home I think once a year or so to do a benefit concert for that school. I think it was Providence High School.

[@vincentlavallee2779]

You must be talking about someone other than Linda Ronstadt. She grew up in Tuscon, AZ and went to high school there as well. She tried ASU after HD, but quit fairly early to follow her boy friend at the time to Los Angeles, and started her career there. I don't think she ever lived in San Antonio. TX.

[@rickrack4812]

Oh...Linda....my Latter Teenage CRUSH

[@terrylg9225]

I bought this on a blue vinyl 12" record back in the day still got it. You should try her singing Lion in the Winter with Hoyt Axton

[@lnl3237]

Love that one too. Give a listen to "Bed of Roses" her duet with Moondi Klein of Chesapeake. Gorgeous harmonies.

[@jucadvgv3449]

her natural range spans several octaves from contralto to soprano, so i'm not sure what the guy's referring to about not sounding good when she hits certain notes. she's still within her normal range.

[@denisetinto1828]

Do La Chareada. Then you will see what this artiste is capable of. Men were in love with Linda back then. 🇨🇦🌟👍💖

[@matthewlaird5235]

Your crazy!!! When she goes full Linda, it doesn’t sound right. You are insane!

[@plaidpaisley5918]

😮Dude, the belting is where it’s at.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

I get a picture of her being in Bayou Country. Or leaving her love in Bayou Country. Watching the fishing boat go out & then come back in afternoon. You should do some of Linda's Spanish tunes. They are great. Of course it helps to understand Spanish. There are some palm trees where they have bayous BTW. Linda also at one time, was considered 'Outlaw Country'.

[@jtcash2005]

In baseball, a fast pitch is one that "blew by you". That phrase was coined by New York Mets broadcaster Tim McCarver.

[@micko11154]

This is live in Melbourne, Australia.

[@starman2337]

If you want to listen to Trio, try "To Know Him Is To Love Him"

[@sylviawalker2800]

I also suggest High Sierra.

[@jamesleyda365]

Linda is so very beautiful

[@deborahcornell171]

Hey, BP 1...if you're picturing palm trees & hula skirts you're picturing the tropics or Polynesia. When listening to a song about a bayou try picturing Spanish Moss hanging off trees & swamplands...the sounds of tree frogs, crickets & night birds. Seriously, it's a whole different feel...the Deep South, Louisiana etc. And if you're not familiar with Spanish Moss, Google images of it. It's beautiful by day, a bit spooky by night. Very atmospheric. For more Linda, I think you'd both like "Desperado" & "Long Long Time"..both so beautiful. And "You're No Good" for something more up tempo. Love you both! Warm regards from Kentucky U.S. 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

[@williamcabell142]

You guys don’t have to block everything! You don’t need to block her!

[@BritPopsReact]

@William Cabell Hi Williams, thanks for the information but we have no idea before we record anything what will get blocked and what is OK. Hope that helps

[@cherylroot2244]

If you are thinking hula skirt, you've never seen a bayou

[@WilAdams]

I know that BP1 said he did not really get into Country Music, but the fact is that the songs from the end of the 1960s on until about 1980 you had song writers who were masters of using song title in various ways. For example there are the hit song by the Kendalls--Heaven's Just a Sin Away, It Don't Feel Like Sinnin' To Me, and Pittsburg Stealers these songs gave you the impression they were going to be about one thing, but then became something else. As for Linda she became known as the COVER Queen since her hits--like this one--were covers of songs by other artists--Smokey Robinson's Tracks of My Tears; Martha and the Vandellas--Heatwave, Hank Williams'--I Can't Help It, and of course the mega hit by the Eagles 'Desperado'.

[@Brwnydgrl]

I always think of bayous being in the American South, like where it's swampy , like in New Orleans? Oh, well. Not sure. Anyway, y'all are funny and adorable 😊. Might have to watch more. 😁👍

[@BritPopsReact]

@Brwnydgrl Hello and thank you for the lovely comment. Please come back and watch more. Also, you were completely right about the bayous, we had no idea what we were talking about.😊 All the best

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Why are you guys just now waking up to the best mezzo-soprano ever to lend her voice to popular music?

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Linda Rondstat was the only person who could carry this tune as Roy wrote it. Many people have covered it, but only she did it right.

[@ellalena1873]

She put the band together herself…. Afterwards they became The Eagles.

[@user-ud1sr9tm5r]

Brits, you want to hear a 10? Play "Long Long Time" or "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," or "Lose Again," or "Everybody Loves a Winner." Keep trying. There's a reason she won all those awards and you boys haven't paid miss Linda her dues here.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Darrelĺ Skogen Cheers Darrell for the recommendation, we will return to Linda again

[@mtl.3333]

Good reaction! I think you're right about the mike topping out, I recall her doing light opera with Pirates of the Pentzance and she had no limits. She has a 3-octave voice from contralto, to mezzo soprano to soprano. Saw a review which had her vocals separated from the track atd tracked on pitch monitoring software and the reviewer was raving about have accurate her voice was with regard to accuracy, timber, tone, pitch and vibrato. Had no idea. Just thought she was a lovely girl with beautiful eyes who haunted my dreams.

[@oscarfigueroa1740]

Además de todo lo que dijeron en los comentarios, Linda tiene raíces mexicanas y también cantó música ranchera mexicana

[@festusadams7417]

Thank you for your reaction. This was in 1977 - no Auto-Tone. I hope you would also react to the Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun" from 1970. Thank you. Peace.

[@davidfein3123]

Remember this is an old recording of a live show. This is 30 years before autotune. Her voice has too much range for that old equipment lol

[@johnroop9625]

La Charreada!!!

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Yes, you should look into the Trio, their harmonizing is next level.

[@vincentlavallee2779]

After seeing this response to the greatest female vocalist of all time, I can see why she was not popular in the UK. Her Blue Bayou only hit #40 there. She sold very little albums in the UK, and based on this review I can see why. To think the mike was overloaded and not her very powerful voice, tells you about their level of vocal appreciation. Also, here in the US almost no one remembers Roy Orbison's version of Blue Bayou, and everyone that has hear Linda knows about her rendition of it, and it has become her song. anything under a rating of at least 9.5 is an utter disgrace! I wonder what female singer they think is better!

[@donaldlosertrum4135]

shes one of great voices. i had a request for some motown music ask for the four tops its the same old song video 1965

[@devildog5354]

This was live; it's not going to be the same sound quality as a recording studio (album cut)...

[@iche50]

This is one of the rare covers witch is better than the original.... 🙂

[@rickrack4812]

Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponys.

[@pexi111]

Please check also Linda's La Charreada. A different Linda!

[@757optim]

That's probably a pedal steel guitar. A lap steel guitar is a simpler instrument designed to be played on your...wait for it....lap. Linda has vocal chops for miles. The first time I heard "Different Drum" on the radio I was sold.

[@texasron9131]

This woman has a classic body of work in the 70s and 80s. Check her out!
