A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZbin. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZbin I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZbin won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZbin channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

[@richardryan8462]

She sang pop, rock, country, soul, classical, mariachi, Tex-Mex, and jazz standards. That’s all I can think of right now and no, I’m not exaggerating. She had hits for each of these.

[@karolyn8644]

Don't forget the operetta, Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. She managed the operatic voice quite well.

[@williamcabell142]

Richard Ryan American is the genre. Better known as the Cali sound. Eagles, Jackson Brown etc.

[@richardryan8462]

@@williamcabell142 Hi. Things like “Tracks of my Tears,” or her role in the operetta “Pirates of Penzance,” or the TexMex and Mariachi she did in “Songs of my Father,” or the American pop standards she did with Nelson Riddle, or the Hank Williams and Dolly Parton songs don’t fit in that category of Cali.

[@lamusiclover2264]

add New Wave

[@debbiechang5781]

You have discovered musical gold. She was the first female to sell out arenas in the 1970’s and then went on to do wonders in multiple genres spanning forty years. She had the sweetest, yet most powerful voice on the planet. That gorgeous talent was stolen about fifteen years ago by Parkinson’s disease. This was the late 70’s and was considered country/rock music. Need to fix your audio but great choice for a reaction👍

[@okeekonokee5282]

Maybe on a regular basis (selling out arenas) but Lynn Anderson was the first female singer to headline & sell-out Madison Square Garden in 1974. I may be wrong, but I don't think Linda was selling out arenas until after '74. Lynn Anderson was riding a string of country hits, propelled by her worldwide No.1 Monster - "Rose Garden" (1971). Love Linda R., though. I take NOTHING away from her remarkable career.

[@leslie8888]

Love Linda! Started in the 1960s and was relevant for 40 yrs until she was diagnosed with Parkinson's and can no longer sing. Bless Sweet Linda 💞✌

[@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 pure musical genius who explored multiple musical genres and was a smashing success in all of them!

[@leslie8888]

Spot on! Linda could sing any genre and could be powerful or soft. 💞

[@bbrathizza2075]

wasnt even her song

[@jeffy5482]

Linda was every type of music. A chameleon, in the best sense of the word. She did everything. 💙

[@christinahilt2978]

My favorite song of hers was "You're No Good." This I consider Southern Rock.

[@willowb1527]

OH Yes.

[@jgg59]

Christina Hilt linda was never part of the southern rock movement. Country rock which started in Southern California she was definitely part of!

[@123rgar]

Agreed

[@nathanlawson313]

She sang EVERY genre of music. Her crystal clear tone and pure vocal talent is what sets her apart. Legend

[@bobbyesco1499]

Please figure out how to fix the audio on the vid you are playing. Song quality is just not there. Also, headphones! Otherwise, I like what you are doing with this Channel. Rock on.

[@rucerius4968]

Blue Bayou was originally written and recorded by Roy Orbison. Now, a little about the amazing Ms. Ronstadt (you did pronounce her name correctly). In the 1970s she released 8 consecutive platinum (or multi platinum) albums. At one point her backup band consisted of the original members of the Eagles (you should really listen to her version of Desperado). In the early 1980s she went to New York where she performed in the opera Pirates of Penzance (videos can be found on KZbin). At this time she also recorded several albums of jazz standards. By the end of the decade she went to the record label and told them she wanted to do an album of Spanish music. That album is still the best selling non English album in America. She recorded 3 albums with Dolly Parton and Emmy Lou Harris under the name Trio. She has since retired due to Parkinson's Disease. Songs I'd recommend would include Desperado and You're No Good.

[@allisonotto]

Mariachi music! Appearances to the contrary, she was of Mexican heritage and grew up with mariachi music. Her first mariachi album was called Canciones de mi Padre and it’s gorgeous.

[@allisonotto]

*is. She’s still alive.

[@pdevoss]

Her vocal range is unbelievable

[@jgg59]

Rucerius Don’t forget she also did La Bohème At the Public theater. I wasn’t as well received as pirates but she was brilliant

[@rucerius4968]

@@jgg59 I wasn't aware that she did La Boheme. Learn something new every day.

[@caitlinseaton7546]

Her version of “Desparado” is awesome too!

[@bobbiewallace4008]

I agree

[@steveellers196]

If you ever heard her live you’d know how much is lost in recordings. She was phenomenal!!

[@rhallnapa]

If you want to be blown away, check out Linda singing “La Charreada”.

[@ElliotNesterman]

Anything from Caciones de Mi Padre, really. I'm especially partial to La Cigarra.

[@stevecox3777]

Linda Maria Ronstadt is an American retired singer who performed and recorded in diverse genres including rock, country, light opera, and Latin.

[@rickgarbutt1972]

Find the live version of " Tumbling Dice" live captures the passion, and isnt that why we listen ?

[@rickgarbutt1972]

Perfect pitch man and that is rare

[@gwendolynholland8220]

Her voice is so diveris not to many people can have that gift.

[@abevillanueva1974]

Linda...on the Mt. Rushmore of female vocalists!! Multiple Grammy winner in ALL genre'!! She enunciates the words so clearly, like Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand. And those beautiful EYES!!! All-time babe!

[@moogie1954]

She is a legend! She lost her voice to Parkinson's but at least we still have her recordings! Try her duets with Aaron Neville" "Don't Know Much" and "All My Life"!

[@carolynschmidt7672]

Linda sang whatever she wanted. She was magnificent!

[@lgsonnie]

Linda has and is The Queen of Rock n Roll. Her genre is vast.

[@tomandselmariestacy9483]

When you find Roy Orbison, who wrote and originally performed this song, you're going to hit a vein of gold.

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

LINDA RONSTADT ... CAN SING ANYTHING !

[@ericbogerd5306]

Linda is one of the greatest vocalists of all time, she could really sing any genre as others have said. This was written by and originally recorded by Roy Orbinson, it's considered "Country Pop". You can't club dance to it, but it is AMAZING for slow dancing. Just cheek dancing, Foxtrot, Nightclub Swing, and many other styles. And very romantic to dance with your sweetie to, also.

[@williamdavidjanda1789]

Linda my childhood fav, she sings everything.

[@zanealberto7510]

She is wonderful!!!! Get ready💙😎👍

[@gypsyrose3937]

I love the song from her called Winter’s Light. It’s beautiful.

[@misseva7404]

Yes!! One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

[@jehuxtable]

Amazingly talented and successful artist from the 1960s-2000s. Ton of Grammy awards for Country, Pop and Latin music.

[@jjsteel43]

One of the great female musicians. I like many of her songs.

[@lipby]

It's considered country-rock, but she could sing anything. Listen to "You're no Good," the live version on the Midnight Special. It's supposedly country, but there are bongos and R&B style backup sisters in crazy jumpsuits. Everything mixed back then.

[@josefschiltz2192]

The tears come. They're inevitable when I hear this.

[@Peter-rg4ng]

She is a LEGEND. A master of her art. Her biggest influence was country.

[@scottharris4195]

A lot of her music is all of Rock, Pop, Country, and Blues. She even plays Mariachi.

[@reneemartin7644]

Linda Ronstadt could sing everything.

[@JamesRonstadt]

Lifetime achievement award/rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Humble. Love you Linda 🌴😎🌈Aloha

[@sandyherron4391]

Someone to lay down beside me. Absolute masterpiece!!!!!

[@anitapaulus937]

To of the principal members of The Eagles were in her band for several months. She actually recorded one of their songs, Desperado. She had a pop voice, country, rock, what ever she wanted. She even did opera.

[@u2bpot807]

She was what they used to call a Vocalist, but with only a few categories available in the music shops, she was categorized as Rock, like almost everyone else.

[@joonzville]

Linda became famous singing what’s been called Country/Rock fusion. Ronstadt was one of the first female musicians who sold out stadiums. She was huge in the 70s whether singing ballads like this or rockers like "You’re No Good". Later she just went and did her own thing and she was powerful/popular enough she could tell her record company to pound sand. She did several albums of Mexican music because they were songs she was raised on. Then she did a couple of albums of what are called the "standards". Music sung by Frank Sinatra, and crooners like that. And her albums sold amazingly well in each genre she tried. She no longer sings due to health problems but she’s been a huge influence on music, especially female singers.

[@julieallen1213]

when i was in the 5th grade the school had a juke box in the cafeteria and they played this song just about every day. great song. her voice is so beautiful. And since Rucerius brought up that this song was written by Roy Orbison, you really need to check him out too. He had a ton of hits and his voice is a mood.

[@raymondgilbert1341]

This was originally a Roy Orbison song. He was big during the Rockabilly age and this song was one of his slower ones. He did a lot of what people would call "Blue eyed soul" back then. His voice was out of this world. Check him out as well.

[@normawinton6832]

She was the queen of rock in the 70's but also did country, rock, spanish and covered even Little feats song willing..which i would recommend also and someone too lay down beside me please! I called her the women who could cry sing!

[@evanleehome2178]

YOU ARE RIGHT: A little bit of country, R&B, blues, sometimes (like Elvis) a hint of Gospel. You got it! Welcome to Rock, my friend. Enjoy the ride.

[@tinaballance6266]

DUDE! LINDA RONSTADT can sing ANYTHING. She is iconic. Watch The Sound of My Voice. It’s a documentary. She put some of her band members together that became the EAGLES. This woman is legendary.

[@ChanelStuff]

Linda has actually had music on a few top genres. She's been on pop, rock, and country rating lists. And I agree with someone else who said she is Southern Rock.

[@dldd8778]

Her volume sucked...I respectfully suggest that you figure out how to amplify full volume on your end so that we can adjust the volume for our liking on our end

[@PrincessOne]

Exactly, I'm having a hard time listening to this guy's reaction because of the quality of his music.

[@howardkip99]

yes agreed- funny that when he speaks or an ad comes on the audio quality is perfect ,when the video of Linda plays it turns to sh**

[@jeremywilliams6062]

we need to hear the song also just saying

[@missst4063]

I think you'll find that as you broaden your horizons you'll notice that there are many artists who don't fit neatly into a box as far as "genre" goes. There was a great deal of creativity in the 60's, 70's and 80's where people and groups could display a lot of versatility and cross over from one genre to another and still win over their fans regardless.

[@jazzlefettie]

The genre? Pop music. Linda Ronstadt was one of the first female performers who could sell out arena after arena after arena for concerts. Totally amazing singer.

[@The_Maeus]

When you tried to guess what type of music she sings, you were almost guaranteed to be right whatever you guessed -- if not on this song, at some time in her career.

[@pamtownshend5870]

Just emerged from doing a deep-dive into Linda Ronstadt You Tube videos.......it also shows you how many fabulous women singers there were around then. My favourite was and still is Joni Mitchell - but full love and respect to Linda, kinda country soft rock.

[@leannewilson7184]

She sings Spanish (she is half Mexican) beautifully also... check it out.

[@evangelina3541]

I agree with what you said, her Mexican singing is absolutely beautiful...

[@cpete2976]

You are in for an incredible musical journey if you listen to more of Lovely Linda. Pure, clear, strong, sweet and distinctive voice with perfect pitch and so much warmth and emotion over a several octave range and always in control. No over the top B.S. singing like so many modern singers. She was the first female rock superstar, she sold out large venues in the 70s. Multiple huge hits with so much radio play. So many awards. So many genres - this was soft rock or Southern rock; she also sang pop, rock, country, punk/new wave, Spanish folk songs, jazz and the Great American Songbook, and operetta. No other artist, and she truly is an artist, has such range. I think her covers are better than the originals. She also sang duets and trios. Check out these songs: You're no good, Heatwave, Poor pitiful me, When will I be loved, Tracks of my tears, Just one look, Long long time, Don't know much, Cry like a rainstorm -howl like the wind, Still within the sound of my voice, Trouble again, So right so wrong, Tumbling dice, Get closer, That'll be the day, It doesn't matter anymore, Someone to lay down beside me, Hurt so bad, La Charreada, Desperado,, Poor wandering one from The Pirates of Penzance. Jazz standards such as Lush life, Bewitched bothered and bewildered, My funny valentine, Crazy he calls me, I'm a fool to want you, Round midnight, What'll I do, Lover man. I know this is a lot but its barely scratching the surface. She had an amazing career. Linda is a true musical talent!

[@kevinmcconnell9426]

Linda could and did sing any style of music that was vocal!

[@misseva7404]

I'd love to see you react to Linda's When Will I Be Loved, Different Drum, or You're No Good. I think these would be much more up your alley.

[@billburch1539]

"you're no good" was her biggest hit. pop or southern rock?

[@platterjockey]

Linda Ronstadt is known for going all over the place stylistically. Next, you should do her breakout hit "You"re No Good".

[@leahbackman7669]

She started out as lead singer for a group called the Stone Ponies with a huge hit called Different Drum. She can sing anything, blues, country, rock, gospel, etc. She did a lot of songs with Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly parton. Great voice. A sad irony though, she lost her voice due to Parkinson's disease. God bless her

[@KathleenActonHA]

When Will I Be Loved by her is awesome

[@LegalEagleGurl]

Absolutely check out Linda Ronstadt’s version of “You’re No Good”! That song you will definitely gravitate to. I love Linda Ronstadt! She’s been my musical inspiration since I was in my early teens and is the reason I became a singer. Definitely, keep listening to her music! You’ll definitely become a fan of Linda’s music! 💗🎵

[@deandixon7994]

As already mention she had hit songs in almost every genre, a definite crossover artist because she had a great set of pipes and many in the industry considered her to be the best singer in rock in particular. Beautiful voice and in her career she sold over 100 million records and is among the top artists of all time. She collaborated with more artists than I can name from Johhny Cash to Billy Eckstine (a singer from the 30's and 40's). Sadly she noticed that her voice was deteriorating and retired in I believe it was 2009 and shortly afterwards discovered that she was suffering from Parkinson's Disease and is unable to sing. Some of my favorites songs are "Different Drum" "Desperado" she did one that is an old traditional song where she collaborated with Dolly Parton and Emmy Lou Harris "I never will Marry" I love it because of the beautiful harmonies that the three women create on the song. I'm a fan and personally I like about almost everything she's ever done. A great singer, great set of pipes.

[@raymondgilbert1341]

Linda sang everything, but she was mainly known as country. She did a lot of Motown covers, pop, rock, gospel...everything.

[@kimt4870]

I like many of her songs, but this is my fav ! Thanks for doing this reaction 👍🏻

[@dmobile2go]

Yeah...She's WAY Dope! I got her "You're No Good" Album off my Mom's record stack back in the day and been in Love with Linda ever since.

[@timbeatty8411]

I think your description of her and the song was spot on . Good job good reaction.

[@annachristiansen8773]

Also, she is an extremely talented Mariachi singer...very beloved in Mexico.

[@kbretro64]

She began in folk/country but transferred into rock and r&b and opera and with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. She covered it all.

[@stevenellers1939]

If you ever attended one of her concerts you’d realized how limited a recording can be. I’ve never heard a recording that halfway captures the power and quality of her live performance. She sang all genres and styles phenomenally

[@amorellosue]

Linda Ronstadt sang all genres!

[@johnwhite4991]

You haven't heard Linda until you've heard You're No Good! But she has so many great ones - When Will I be Loved, Willin, Tumbling Dice, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, and on and on. I love love love this rendition of You're No good... (second song, starts at 3:15, though the first is excellent also, as is the third. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpSuh3-Qpt2FfMU

[@johndavidson5228]

Linda Ronstadt's voice is one of the best ever. You should listen to You're No Good or A Different Drum.

[@rittherugger160]

All other singers- "'Blue Bayou' is just too high and too low to sing." Linda- "Hold my beer."

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Country pop is the music

[@brucedillinger9448]

[@joydunn2109]

It's called Country Rock with a little Soul

[@charliecochran3035]

Rondstadt was a genre crosser like a lot of 70s musicians. The lines between rock, country, folk, blues, R&B were all pretty blurred. She hung with the folkie and "singer-songwriter" crowd, collaborating a fair amount with Neil Young who always defied genre categorization too. Oh yeah and she was a mega hottie with a hell of a voice!

[@boosuedon]

Is the genre' really important? The only thing that matters is whether or not you are moved by the performance, right? She has done many, many different styles including country, classics, POP, Big Band, rock, blues to name a few. One of the nicest people you could ever meet!

[@lincolnlewis6979]

[@barbaragonzalez3504]

This is one of my favorite songs Linda. She is of Mexican descent. You should react her Spanish music with Mariachi ( Los Laureles). You could really hear her powerful voice. She sings, rock, pop, country, opera, Ranchera, and Latin. React to her duet with Aaron Neville, Don't know much.

[@williamcabell142]

She is an Earth Angel. Her voice is as beautiful as she is. Every young man back in the70’s had a crush on her. She is the Cali sound...Americana. The Eagles were her back up band before they went on their own. The Volume was too low! 🤨

Kind of a low quality live performance. The studio version is amazing, and even other live versions I have heard are better. She is an incredible singer, and was a superstar back in the day.
