Linda Ronstadt Reaction Adios (Heartfelt, Beautiful) | Dereck Reacts

[@driftinso]

Yes, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys did the background vocals, produced in his studio.

[@kylecompton3305]

She SLAYS EVERYTHING! 23 studio albums and 11 Grammys, so there is so much to dive into! Every cover she does, she kills the original!

[@fearyt4635]

Ends with the single greatest (broken) musical note ever sung by anyone in the entire history of everything ever!! I love this song so much ❤

[@barbarabrafford7102]

That's Brian Wilson singing background!

[@debbiechang5781]

Thank you for appreciating this hugely talented woman. She has the voice of an angel. I just melt when I hear her, even after all these years she amazes me. She is so under appreciated. Just so happy that she is getting a much deserved nod from younger listeners.

[@beauxlee3378]

Crystal clear emotion. Glorious voice - Nothing like Ronstadt doing heartbreak. Powerful and tender. The harmony is off the charts.

[@lnl3237]

Nothing.

[@angelsmusic5550]

Every time I liste to Linda I end up crying she has a beautiful voice!!!

[@franky4318]

This song and Linda's voice are a masterpiece. Everything is perfect here. One of my favorites. ❤

[@gonetoutah]

The background was sung by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys; That's why it sound like the beach boys. Wilson sang each background part many times (27 i think) varying this voice just a little each time so it came out sounding like a chorus when it was just him alone.

[@williamcabell142]

Now you know why we boomer guys were in love with her! An Angle! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gem3614]

The whole album is amazing. Love her.

[@TangoEliott]

Linda is magic

[@Earcandy73]

Jimmy Webb is a wonderful songwriter. He penned hits for The 5th Dimension, Glenn Campbell, and Donna Summer. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys sings backup. Ironically Linda was in a relationship with the governor of California (Jerry Brown). Even though they came pretty close, they are still good friends.

[@goroakechi3157]

Oooo yay more Linda! You should listen to more of her other greatest hits like You’re No Good, When Will I be Loved, Tracks of my Tears, It’s So Easy, Tumbling Dice, Desperado, Long Long Time, Different Drum and the one song I would love for you to react to is my favorite and thats Heat Wave.

[@taffybear1]

Brian Wilson on those layered background vocals... perfect for a song about the California Coast!

[@springstud]

i was lucky enough to see her in concert 2 times 2001 and 2008 her voice in person just blew me away

[@ryanmitchener275]

Linda’s voice (and her in general) is stunning. What a person, what an artist, what a storyteller. 🥰👸🏼

[@uncabuzz118]

I love Jimmy Webb's lyrics. Especially including "morose" and "grandiose" in ADIOS. Linda did many Karla Bonoff tunes. Try "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me". Perfection.

[@lnl3237]

Uncle Buzz Ashamed to say that I was just a casual music fan during the "Golden Era" of the singer songwriter of the 60's and 70's. Watching her documentary in 2019 triggered a deep-dive into the expansive catalog of Linda Marie Ronstadt. Read her memoir and took notes! She has led me not only to Karla Bonhoff and Jimmy Webb but to Warren Zevon, J.D. Souther, Rubén Fuentes, Andrew Gold, Rosemary Butler, Lee Sklar, Valerie Carter, Wendy Waldman, Lola Beltrán, etc.. She not only possessed an amazing vocal instrument that she honed every day of her life until her instrument became irreparably damaged, but she was a serious student of all aspects and varieties of music, and a superfan and promoter of so many other artists. Her life is leaving the largest of footprints in the minds and hearts of millions.

[@Yowza78]

Lay Down Beside Me is such a great song. There is a live performance of it on KZbin.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

That's Brian Wilson singing backgrounds with Linda.

[@cpete2976]

Ready to be even more impressed with Linda? Watch her sing Poor Wandering One from The Pirates of Penzance. Then check out any of her numerous rock hits. Then venture into her incredible library of pop standards from the 40s and 50s.

[@renatasingslindaronstadtss4257]

Great! The girl with the golden voice.

[@phillippuckett5552]

Beautiful!!!

[@jonss1948]

I'm very much enjoying your insightful reactions to Linda Ronstadt's incredible talent. She is two years older than me, so has been around what seems, forever. This beautiful woman did not allow herself to be chained to one genre of music and her voice was a force majeure. You, myself and many others already know how wonderful she is but I did not realise just how good until I heard her sing 'Poor Wandering One' from the Comic Opera, The pirates of Penzance. It exists on YT and the best video is her lead of Mabel in the movie version. Please check it out.

[@BobGeogeo]

I have one of those 3 million albums. It's great. Subscribed

[@dodahlberg]

This song has always made me cry and has again.

[@stanleyhenry2687]

It's nice of you sharing Ronstadt singing her songs

[@chriswilson4453]

Pretty sure that is the Beach Boys on backing vocals, or at least some of them. While you're on that album, try "Dont Know Much", but the whole album is awesome

[@kylecompton3305]

Do you want to hear her sing OPERA? "Poor Wandering One"!!!

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Speaking of a sad song. Please react to the song “ goodbye my friend” and keep the tissues handy. It’s from the same album, which is fantastic by the way. She has a voice as clear as a bell. Her Spanish album “canciones de mi padre” is also fantastic. I never learned Spanish but I can sing (not like her of course) all the lyrics because I listened to the songs so much .

[@misspad7282]

Between Jimmy Webb's writing and Linda's voice, you can't go wrong on this song. And it is Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys doing background vocals.

[@lisadowney6777]

Eva Cassidy. If you can review her songs without copyright issues...well worth the listen. She was up there with Karen Carpenter and Linda. Lost her much too soon to cancer. Listen to Fields of Gold, Autumn Leaves and the most amazing arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Talk about angelic! You won’t be the same afterwards.

[@joydunn2109]

Check out "I Keep It Hid" and "Shattered" They are Both so Absolutely Beautiful!

[@zonary1]

Linda Ronstadt. (The Rabbit Hole) :)

[@polyprinz]

React to Linda singing, "Poor Wandering One" you will be blown away!

[@roblowe3906]

YES, PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE!

[@nickhendley9303]

Brian Wilson on backing vocals

[@yorkvillevic6528]

DR, "Frenesi" from the same album "Frenesi"

[@robertshepherd7855]

Love Thy Will Be Done by Martika

[@MizCriz46]

"Don't look so morose." Morose means sullen & gloomy. Lyrics by the great Jimmy Webb.

[@lamusiclover2264]

What she did on the first Adios was a yodel.

[@deadandburied7626]

You need to do Beach Boys!

[@gingergaia]

Love Linda, but wondering if country guys are ok? Although he just barely qualifies as 90's, Keith Urban first American award winning album " Golden Road" did come out in 1999. His hit " Somebody like You" is from it, has a good official video.

[@evanhughes1510]

It would be nice to see you do more reactions to classic bands and artists from 60, 70s, and 80s, and less Kylie Minogue and other various glitterbitch singers you do

[@anotheryou218]

Try "Prisoner in Disguise"

[@jmcreek7936]

Shaking You by Olivia Newton John, check her out

[@roblowe3906]

DUDE

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Please You'r are not listening to the right songs by Linda Ronstadt, Need to check out HEATWAVE ,live Atlanta Concert 1977 and Tumbling dice and Tracks of my Tears and Your No GOOD ,Live from Midnight Specials tv show also Different Drum her first hit with the Stone Ponies Live.

[@roblowe3906]

RIGHT ON!

[@tonysc7610]

You should have started your comment with the word Need, and left the first part off.

[@randyventresca4152]

Linda had more range and diversity than Karen Carpenter. Carpenter had a great voice but mainly sang milk toast pop songs.

[@daveturney1342]

Linda Ronstadt doesn't do "runs." She is a consummate performer and does not need to stoop to that type of cheap vocal nonsense. Just saying...
