Episode 65 Linda Rondstadt Different Drum

She was a country singer, a rock singer, and an opera singer. She starred in a Broadway play and a movie. And she always traveled to the beat of a different drum.

[@georgescuovidiu1214]

The best woman singer from all time from my opinion.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Linda Rondstat was the best mezzo-soprano ever to grace the pop world with her presence. ❤️

[@derekec]

For as long as Linda has been on the radar, I've wanted one just like her. Never happened.

[@lilliearvizu9447]

Beautiful Linda with an amazing voice! 🎶💞🎶

[@geoffreymee7671]

Lovely journey you have shown - thx. Linda is in my mind one of the very thankful feelings I have had over decades. She is truely beautiful.

[@vickiebasolo6400]

I was fortunate to see Linda Ronstadt many times in concert. From a benefit evening at The Troubadour in LA, to large stadium and fair shows to a House of Blues concert in New Orleans with Emmy Lou Harris, Linda Ronstadt was simply incredible in concert. I am so thankful for all the great music across so many genres that she has given to us. Glad you decided to spotlight this brilliantly talented singer.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

You are most welcome

With Linda's performance of Different Drum, a song less than 3 minutes long, released in the summer of 1967, she began a career that has entertained and enriched all of us. In only 3 minutes she created a personal enduring memory lasting a lifetime.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yes saw her live many times. Great talent.

[@jabulasan]

My favorite… she was so beautiful at a young age

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yes indeed

[@jabulasan]

One of my favorite songs from the beautiful LINDA

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Thanks, keep a rockiin

[@ahall1459]

Excellent video...

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Thank you!

[@robert9407]

I have loved Linda since I first heard her voice way back in the early 70’s. My wife wasn’t impressed with her poster on the the back of the bedroom door. We saw her in concert in Adelaide, Australia in about 1985, premium seating at Adelaide Oval, still cry whenever I hear her voice. She even roller skated on stage.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Great memory. I remember those roller skates as well. Thanks for the comments and keep a rockin

[@dariaiannitti488]

I saw her and Kevin Kline, and Rex Smith in Central Park in Pirates. Amazeballs!! 🥰

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Wish I could have seen it live, I saw the movie version

[@RandallVentresca]

No mention of her great work with Nelson Riddle?

[@lisabarnes6919]

I love her too 🥰well wishes for Linda Rondstadt✨Jesus loves you girl❤️

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Great talent and lovely person

[@chrisstocker]

Im 63 and have loved her all my life.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Know the feeling

[@barryhill363]

Thank you so much for your review on Linda Ronstandt, I herd the song “Feels like home “on the radio the other day back home in England and it just blew me away, reminded me how great she was, beautiful Linda

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

You are welcome. She is a great talent

[@Bduh2]

Thank you for your wonderful video. Linda Ronstadt was my "crush" from the first time I heard and saw her and, lucky me, my first girlfriend could have been her identical twin! I ran into her when I was watching my brother play with his new band and the three boys there were brothers and she also came to watch them.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Great memories, lucky for your that you found your girlfriend.

[@coffee-xg6my]

That first black and white photo is not Linda Ronstadt. That's American Idol singer Tristan McIntosh performing in her tour band, the "Linda Ronstadt Experience" back in 2019.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Hmm, you might be right. I searched hard for early Linda pix.

[@pamcornelius9122]

You’re right.

[@fernandoa3191]

Thats's the first thing I noticed. I came to say it too.

[@dimuse6266]

You can edit it out

[@raymondmoorcroft4469]

Well done on your wonderful tribute to an amazing artist. Always smiling.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Thanks for comments. Glad you liked the episode.

[@kathrynmitchell4344]

She also sang beautifully with Aaron Neville & had 😊a hit together. Look it up

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Thanks

[@jamesmurray8558]

So glad you did this.She wrote me back last year.Showed that to my family.Always pray and wish her well.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

she is a class act

[@annefontenot3883]

she was one of my favorites!

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yep she really could rock

[@christopherlewinski4173]

Good inside baseball on some of the collaboration and songs written for Linda. Special that you were watching her local at The Troubadour in her heyday.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yep, I spend many wonderful nights at the troub, Including barging in on Carly and James Taylor in the men's room Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXFaXpuial3jaM

[@bretkindell6887]

U tube is so giant !! How i havent found your channel is beyond me . Great education and thats what i like . Im 64 and still want to know what happened in my teen years. Peace from houston

[@nealm1814]

Shame you didn’t mention the three albums she recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra which IMHO is her best work. Her voice was at its peak and her interpretations of those songs from the Great American Songbook are up there with Sinatra and Fitzgerald.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yeah, couldn't include everything, but I should have

[@corvairkid63]

I knew of her from Different Drum. Neil Young came to St. Louis, where she was the opening act. It was a small venue, maybe 10,000 people. Two things of interest: Her voice was so powerful it was echoing off the back wall. She is the only opening act to receive a standing ovation to this day and many concerts later.

[@Wise1201]

I used to love so hard to her music

[@SweetJennyFan]

What a career. Some great music too.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Yes indeed!

[@garyodell631]

I have ALS, which is much like Parkinsons disease. Both are neurological disorders. My Integrative Health doctor has successfully stopped the progression of my ALS and the same natural treatments could stop Parkinsons. I have tried to contact Linda Rondstadt several times through several avenues but have not been able to make contact. I wish I could let her know about my treatments and how they may stop her Parkinsons. It's a shame, the mainstream medical system won't talk about or consider these treatments that worked on me.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Great comments, good luck and keep a rockin'

[@thomassuniga7993]

Great review....

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Thanks!

[@harrypattison443]

Different drum is one of my all time favourites however the most beautiful song which wasn't mentioned was her duet I don't know much

[@johnfleff]

Linda is still the Greatest!! Forever with me and her secret lovers of her music. I will be making covers of many of her songs Soon. Eli: "King of Rock & Roll Harmonica"

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Have fun!

[@elinoreberkley1643]

Good singer but you know there are better. What I liked best is her Spanish numbers. The cross culture thing was cool. She really enjoyed singing she said.

[@jamesgasper7559]

Linda even sang with Kermit the Frog

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

yes she did

[@Spitz79]

He didn’t mention Simple Dreams album.

[@pruephillip1338]

I see her as a Taylor Swift, but one who can sing.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Except that Linda is much more talented even though she never wrote a song.

[@jorgegonzales9815]

Her "Mexican" (not Spanish) roots.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Lo Siento

[@tarstarkusz]

If a woman has to be mentioned as a woman, she's not worth mentioning. Being the best woman X is no accomplishment at all. The best woman tennis player of all time would rank around 500 in the list of best tennis players. Linda is worth mentioning without bringing up her being a woman.

[@dimuse6266]

That first pic isn't even her. Why not find a real picture of her?

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Wait what?

[@vickykasel4886]

You didn't mention her Nelson Riddle co llabration.

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

Can't cover everything

[@deadandburied7626]

Linda dropped Capitol.

[@fredfrenchy]

Great Artists, but crying about sxism..hmmm

[@sixtiesguy593]

Always liked her music but not her politics.

[@randyventresca4152]

If she knew you existed, she wouldn't like your politics, either 🙂

Same. Actors and musicians aren’t known for their intellect.

@@randyventresca4152 I feel this was the main reason she did not marry me. Or at least a date.

She thought everything was sexist because she was a raging SJW. That's the problem with her. She had some kind of SJW meltdown on TV with emmylou and Dolly. She got big too, which is funny.

[@WilliamTrader-l7o]

Do you remember what this issue was that caused the meltdown?

[@tarstarkusz]

@@WilliamTrader-l7o I think it had something to do with Emmy Lou.

"And 4 guys we wouldn't know much about", including how to pronounce their last names, even after 50 years.🙄

[@berniedropstheneedle684]

ok, are you talking about Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, David Lindley, Mike Nesmith?

[@hes_no_rocketsurgeon]

@@berniedropstheneedle684 No, your own quote re the eagles @2:30 and your 50% hit on rate on their last names. Frey is pronounced "fry" not "fray" and Leadon is like the metal. For a band as huge as they were, I'm always baffled at how often their names are mangled.
